She is the definition of going above and beyond.

If you think you might not need a day-of-coordinator, you absolutely do. Our guests loved her, our vendors respected her, and we would not have had the same experience without her. She is knowledgeable, assertive when needed, incredibly organized, and genuinely kind.

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!

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.

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!

As the Bride, I didn’t have to think about ANYTHING other than getting married.

She made our day so easy going and everything flowed so beautifully. From the planning process to day of, she was always available and made everything come together so nicely!!

I couldn’t have imagined making it through my wedding day without Karin as my day of coordinator! She answered every text I had months prior, humored all my control freak tendencies and made sure every vision I had came to life.

One of the best decisions we made for our wedding.

Karin was absolutely amazing as our day of coordinator and one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. She was an excellent communicator throughout the entire process and always quick to text back whenever I had a question.

Elizabeth L.Google review

The best decision we made was to hire Hearts & Souls Event Management.

Karin took care of everything and was available every step of the way, every time we needed her. I highly recommend Karin.

As the Day of Coordinator for my daughter’s wedding at the Howey Mansion, she was so attentive and helpful well before the day of the wedding! She’s extremely organized and that was what I needed so that I could enjoy the day with my daughter and I did!

Karin was absolutely a dream to work with. She was available via text - made things happen - she was completely calm on the day which is SO helpful. You will not regret working with her.

Rachel R.Google review

She worked hard to coordinate many details and was responsive throughout the planning process. Karin assisted with organizing the timeline, decorations, and ensuring the event ran smoothly.

Savannah T.Google review

Karin was wonderful! She took so much off my plate and graciously handled when things didn’t go perfect on the day of the wedding. She helped put out metaphorical fires and put my mind at ease.

Christiana P.Google review

She was there with me from day one.

Karin was by far the best money I have ever spent. She was there with me from day one. She helped me through EVERYTHING! The week and day of the wedding she was absolutely incredible.

Morgan A.January 2022

As we are from Scotland we wanted to make sure that we found someone easy to communicate with online. Karin did not disappoint. We had the most amazing ceremony at the Hard Rock Hotel in Orlando.

Kat & Garry WalkerFalkirk, Scotland

She knew all the questions to ask at our venue walk-through and had all kinds of tips to help our day flow perfectly. Every other vendor told me she was amazing.

Carlie F.April 2022

Always quick to respond.

I happened to wake up and texted her at 4 a.m. once with an idea, and she responded immediately. Karin was able to advocate for me when people wanted to change my established plans.

Carlye E.January 2022

We had a lot of details and cultural components to our wedding, and she and her lovely assistant made sure everything happened, stress-free. Even though we hired her only for day-of coordination, she was there for us from the moment we hired her.

Eliana M.November 2021

My husband and I were blending our family and Karin knew exactly what we needed. She made sure to include the children with their own vows.

VeniceBlended-family ceremony

It was supposed to rain on my wedding day and Karin kept me calm. She rallied a team to pack up the cars during the reception so my husband and I could enjoy our time with friends and family.

Jenny M.May 2021

Karin performed our beach ceremony and her personalized vows made it so beautiful and touching. We live in Illinois and had to plan our Florida wedding from a distance, and she made it all come together.

LindseyBeach ceremony

We had originally looked into the courthouse. Not only was Karin able to fit us in within the week, she still made me feel like a blushing bride. It felt perfect. I cried.

StephanieCeremony booked the same week

We are Canadian residents travelling to Florida to get married. We first talked about the officiant package, then realized we’d also need help with planning, vendors and décor. We could NOT have done this without her!

DianneDestination wedding, 2019

She was able to take my husband’s and my different vows and weave them together beautifully. We opted for a wine ceremony, which really made our ceremony special.

SusanaWine blending ceremony

Karin was hired as the day-of coordinator for my son’s wedding. The wedding was FLAWLESS. I actually got to enjoy my son’s wedding, and it’s all thanks to her.

KimMother of the groom

She took photos of a few different dresses she could wear for us, and even had her dress altered because we had uneven stone walkways and she didn’t want to trip.

ScottMarried with Lauren

She was the number one reason our wedding ran so smoothly. Extremely professional, responds very quickly, super flexible, and EXTREMELY detail-oriented.

ChristineCoordination, March 2020

We had to cancel our beach wedding due to COVID-19. Karin conducted our ceremony with so much love and compassion that it took the disappointment away.

CeceIntimate ceremony, April 2020

We hired Karin a second time. She officiated my mom’s wedding, and this time she coordinated ours. She took all my panicked calls and assured me the day would be perfect. She delivered big on that promise.

BrandonCoordination

Her words were ones of passion, sincerity, love and emotion, and her charming Cambridge English accent certainly helps when capturing the attention of the audience.

Barry & JessicaMarried October 2015

Everything went exactly as planned, and even if it didn’t, we wouldn’t have known. She never dropped the ball.

Vendors who work beside us

Photographers, DJs and florists see how a wedding really runs. Here’s what they say.

I have worked with Hearts and Souls at many weddings. Karin is a pleasure to work with, very professional and really knows what she is doing.

We meet a lot of wedding coordinators, but she made my job easy. She was calm and made everything run smoothly at the Dr. Phillips House.
