    I don’t even know where to start — working with Karen was hands-down the best decision I made for our wedding. She is truly exceptional at what she does. From the first call to the last goodbye at the end of the night, she handled every detail with this magical mix of calm, confidence, creativity, and “don’t worry, I’ve got it.” She thought of things I never would have considered, kept everything organized, and somehow made me feel completely taken care of the entire time. Every vendor loved her, my family adores her, and my entire wedding day went off flawlessly because of her. What I loved most is that she didn’t just plan — she cared. She made the whole process actually fun and stress-free, and she genuinely wanted the day to feel like us. And it did. It was perfect. If you’re thinking about hiring her — do it. Truly. Your future self will thank you.

Their communication style was direct and punctual, which we greatly appreciated during the busy wedding planning process. The quality of their work was comprehensive, and they paid close attention to even the smallest details to ensure our special day went off without a hitch. They were particularly helpful in assisting with several last-minute details and maintaining a positive attitude throughout. We are so grateful to The Good Karen Events for helping to make our wedding day truly unforgettable.

    Karen was an absolute dream to work with! We decided to elope at a beautiful botanical garden, and with my soon-to-be husband’s unpredictable military schedule and an upcoming six-month deployment, there were so many moving pieces to plan on short notice. Karen handled everything with such grace, flexibility, and calm confidence. She reassured me that everything will work out, and it truly did. She anticipated needs before I even mentioned them and made what could’ve been a stressful time feel effortless and joyful. She is well organized and easy to get a hold of. Thanks to her, our day was intimate, seamless, and more special than we could’ve imagined. I can’t recommend her enough to any couple — especially those navigating unpredictable military life — she truly made our elopement unforgettable. - John and Ana Rehberg
