Full Service Wedding & Event Planning & Design in Southwest Florida

I would highly recommend KC Weddings and Events to anyone planning their big day! I had the pleasure of working closely with Kara the 2 months prior to our wedding. I purchased the most basic package as I didn't have many vendors to coordinate, but needed help and peace of mind for the day of the wedding.

I had the pleasure of working closely with Kara the 2 months prior to our wedding. I purchased the most basic package as I didn't have many vendors to coordinate, but needed help and peace of mind for the day of the wedding. While Kara was technically only really contracted to help me a month or two before the wedding, she always made herself available to me if I had any questions, and keep in touch with me regularly through the several months prior. She really became a friend during this time, and now I'm sad I don't get to see of talk to her anymore ?. She really is fantastic! And I have to give a shout out to her hubbs who came (sprained ankle and all) at the end of the wedding the video our bubble exit and give it to our videographer so that we didn't have to pay extra for more hours with my videographer. Our wedding was everything we dreamed of and more, THANK YOU KC WEDDINGS AND EVENTS!!❣️ read less

Kara Cardinal, and went above and beyond to make sure our destination wedding was perfect. She single handedly created a day that was above and beyond my expectations.

What can I say about Kara she is totally awesome! Without her I as well as the wedding wouldnt have come out
so beautiful! We had problems that the event coordinator should have been there to take care of and Kara did everything she could in her power to take care of the problems. She stayed calm through the issues she was faced with from the venues lack of communication and disreguard of our needs. Love her her! Thanks Kara!!... read moreWhat can I say about Kara she is totally awesome! Without her I as well as the wedding wouldnt have come out

I loved Kara! She was absolutely amazing! She set up our whole reception and ceremony flawlessly and took it down when it was all over! She dealt with unforeseen circumstances with our venue like such a pro. Our wedding day would have been a mess without her. She is well worth every dime we paid!

 I want to start out by saying that Kara is an ANGEL. This amazing, hardworking women helped me plan my dream wedding during a pandemic, which is no easy task. She was there for every freak-out (there were many lol), vendor meeting, design-related details, or just a shoulder to cry on (there were also many of those). She made my entire wedding planning process, which lasted almost an entire year, so easy and alleviated as much stress as she possibly... read moreI want to start out by saying that Kara is an ANGEL. This amazing, hardworking women helped me plan my dream wedding during a pandemic, which is no easy task. She was there for every freak-out (there were many lol), vendor meeting, design-related details, or just a shoulder to cry on (there were also many of those). She made my entire wedding planning process, which lasted almost an entire year, so easy and alleviated as much stress as she possibly could from me. She put together the most beautiful design plan for me, a flawless timeline, coordinated and recommended the BEST vendors in our area, and made my wedding day stress-free. She was even willing to round up my pups during our wedding (along with 10000 other things she had to do) so we could have our fur babies included in our wedding. Pretty sure she still has scratch marks/leash burns from trying to control 2 50 Lb dogs- now that is some freaking dedication. Kara- I adore you and will always be thankful that I had you on the most important day of my life. read less

Her timeline of events for my day of was spot on! On a more personal note, I am so appreciative of Kara for all the nights she listened to me spaz out on the phone about silly things like chair bows and babies breath!

Would highly recommend their expertise
Thank you for your extra special help throughout

As Mother of the Bride, my daughter and her new husband had a truly flawless wedding for over 100 family and guests. From the planning phases (we were mostly all out of town during this time so this could be termed a "destination wedding") to the execution
of the evening itself, Kara and Brian handled even the most mundane details smoothly, capably and always professionally with a smile.

From the planning phases (we were mostly all out of town during this time so this could be termed a "destination wedding") to the execution
of the evening itself, Kara and Brian handled even the most mundane details smoothly, capably and always professionally with a smile. Five stars is not a high enough rating for this couple's fledgling new business. Their costs were also in keeping and reasonable for such a beautiful and joyous event. I would be happy to be used as a reference for Karen & Brian, both personally and professionally, if someone wishes to contact me. Again, thanks to Kara & Brian and K.C. Wedding & Event Planners for giving my daughter, our family and my new son and his family truly had the wedding of their dreams.

I will do my best not to cry while writing this review, I am just so thankful for Kara and all the she did to make our day truly spectacular.

Lets start from the beginning. When I first got engaged I reached out to several wedding coordinators, Kara gave me a phone call within 30 minutes of me sending an her e-mail. I did not hear back from the others for days!

Our venue was located on my parents farm, in a remote location. She took us through from start to finish. She recommended the majority of our vendors who were also all amazing (seriously, no complaints).

And when I say she was on top of it, she was on TOP of it. From coordinating a day of time line down to the minute to dealing with mini disasters throughout the whole process. I was so stress free the entire day, did not deal with one vendor and had an amazing time because of her hard work and dedication. It shows that she truly loves what she does.

Oh, and she comes prepared with everything you might forget day of. She even created a cake stand for our wedding cake! Unfortunately we did not get to use it because our bakery surprised us with a round cake as opposed to the square one we ordered. Again, she dealt with this amazingly, everything was covered. She set up our center pieces with an expert touch and even steamed my dress as well as my bridesmaids dresses.

Besides the technical stuff, I felt like I had a friend through every step. She was so calming and helped me deal with the stress of wedding planing. If you want to be taken care of like you should for your wedding, reach out to her. You won't be disappointed. She will ensure that you are able to spend your time on the important things (i.e enjoying your friends and family). read less
