Beautiful Occasions, Lasting Impressions!

Planning a wedding isn’t just about booking a florist, choosing a DJ, tastings, and gift registries. It’s all about us telling your unique love story. We get to know our couples on a personal level and typically end up as friends. Of course we love planning and designing weddings but none of that matters without you. That’s why during our initial consultation, we take time to find out how you and your fiancé met, how you or they proposed, what you love about each other, and how we can sprinkle that throughout your wedding day. We don’t try to sell you on our packages; we show you how your love story can be told through the five senses to ensure the most amazing guest experience.

“It’s all about us telling your unique love story!”

Everything we do is intentional. From the planning platform we use, to how we design, and ensure that you book the best creative partners that will enhance your wedding vision. We plan, design, and live intentionally. What is your intention for your wedding? Is it to dance the night away with friends and family? Is it to be swept away seaside by the cool breeze while listening to your guests chat with each other about the amazing food? Maybe your intention is to just be with a few loved ones celebrating one of the most exciting moments in your life.

We hired Kara as our wedding day coordinator (and then added on postponement services d/t COVID) and also hired Kara for design/planning for a pre-wedding event. Our pre-wedding event was a traditional Vietnamese tea ceremony and although Kara has never been to one, she embraced it. She enthusiastically helped with rentals and other design touches. She nailed it!

Since day 1 (sometime in 2019!), she went above and beyond. She never rushed the calls and took time to learn about who you are and your vision. I did have a misunderstanding with a vendor and Kara advocated for me. We successfully reached a solution that worked for everyone. She went to bat for me and I'm so appreciative of that. She cares. On my wedding day, I noticed Kara threw in a few extra touches to help complete the design/look/feel. Thank you!

My amazing, caring, sweetheart of a wedding planner. There were so many crazy things that happened while trying to plan this small event and she handled all of it with grace and with a heart that understood the importance of this day. She did all of the decorating and the flowers for my wedding, aside from the crafts that I did.

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!! Pam and Shal 🙂

KC Weddings & Events got a 10/10 in my book. Back story, we had our wedding January 9, 2022 at the peak of omicron. So many things changed last minute. I’m talking guest count going down by 50 guests 2 weeks before the wedding. We lost a bridesmaid and a groomsmen the day before the wedding due to Covid. Had additional guest show up that had not RSVPed and so much more. Let me tell you, we could not have done it without these amazing wedding planners. We personally had Brian as our wedding planner. And he killed it. All our last minute changes were challenging but he absolutely took them head on. It was a huge piece of mind knowing he was there to help with it all. Our reception space turned out STUNNING, they took our vision to a whole new level. Every detail of the wedding day was taken care of. They absolutely exceeded all expectations and we were so happy that we hired them! Thank you guys for everything!

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 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.

KC Wedding & Events was the MOST important investment we made toward our daughter’s wedding. Kara was not only available all the time but she was a God sent as we did not realize the minor/ major details that slipped our minds at the last minute. She thought of things that would never have crossed our minds. With that being said, we avoided costly mistakes.

The most important thing we needed was to have someone create and keep all people involved to a specific schedule.
Kara accomplished that perfectly without any problems or at least we don’t know about any! Having Kara made planning non stressful and actually enjoyable. I highly recommend KC Weddings & Events for any event. You will not be disappointed. We know we are eternally grateful for all of the help we received during the entire process. Best choice you could make!

Planning a wedding is stressful! Adding on COVID, travel restrictions, and our wedding being far away (we live in DC but our wedding was in my dad’s backyard in Naples due to COVID) made us realize we might need some help, but how do you choose the right person? We did some searches on google, theknot, etc and came across Kara and her positive reviews. We had nothing but positive experiences from the very first email! Wedding planners might seem like something you don’t need if you’re on a tight budget but trust us, Kara will take all the stress away from the process so that you can actually have FUN with the planning and more importantly, the actual event. Kara was professional, timely, helpful, extremely knowledgeable, and had a wonderful relationship with the vendors to make sure we got what we needed. She is also fun to be around and made every step exciting for us. She even let us throw some curve balls her way as late as the day before the wedding (we decided we NEEDED a keg after all our drinks were mysteriously gone after the rehearsal dinner and she said no problem!). If you’re considering hiring a planner, LOOK NO FURTHER! Hire Kara and her team and you will not regret it.

You Need Kara As Your Planner. Brendan and I had the pleasure of working with Kara and her team for our beach wedding that took place on February 12, 2023. Kara was fantastic from start to finish and we couldn't recommend her enough. We hired Kara for the year-contract as we were planning a destination wedding to Naples, FL from Toronto, Canada. There was a lot of planning involved over zoom and Kara tied everything together perfectly to create a dream wedding that brought in sentimental aspects for all family members. I truly apricated how caring, thoughtful, and relatable working with Kara is. I loved how she was upfront with my parents and able to pivot through the many challenges that faced our wedding, including a Hurricane that whipped out our original beach venue and changed our date. Her vendors were also incredibly kind and caring towards us and able to meet our needs and discuss our vision over zoom. As others have said, Kara does a good job of aligning your vision with the resources she has in Florida. Kara was always available to chat, very organized, attentive, and kept on top of details we missed. I loved working with her so much that I asked her to officiate us! She did and it made the day so much more fun and special for me. Because our date had changed (hurricane took out our original venue) I asked Kara to come back to see us to sign our marriage licence two days later on February 14th. It was so thoughtful of her to come back and I can’t thank her enough!

Kara made our day possible! We were coming from abroad and didn’t really know where to start. From the moment I spoke to Kara everything started to click into place. She made it something to look forward to instead of being stressful. We had an amazing day and everything was beautiful. Thank you so much.
