Couples have been writing about their day since 2014

Even our moms at first wondered why we hired a day-of coordinator. By the end of the night they said thank God we hired Miss Karin.

Tommy C.Day-of coordination, October 2021

She made our ceremony feel so personal and completely us.

Karin was the absolute PERFECT person to marry us! She had us laughing, smiling, and soaking in every second without it ever feeling stiff or overly formal. If you’re lucky enough to have Karin marry you, you’re in the BEST hands!

Emily R.Google review

If you are looking for an ally to ensure that your Type A personality can actually take a rest on your big day, she is your lady!

Karin did such an amazing job for the day of coordination of my wedding! She was patient and stern with my bridal party when she needed to be! I made several changes to my schedule during the day and she went with it like a champ!

Desire C.Google review

She was always “I got this,” and she truly did.

Karin was an absolute lifesaver—organized, knowledgeable, and just gets it. From the very first conversation, her energy matched mine perfectly and instantly put me at ease.
