Karina Lemke

Karina was one of the best decisions we made when it came to planning our wedding! She was so attentive and there with us every step of the way. Karina finds the perfect balance of supporting you even if your choices are untraditional, but also gently redirecting when she thinks you're going in a direction you'll regret. We hired her before we had any concept of what chaos covid would cause, and when we finally realized we'd have to reschedule our wedding once (and nearly twice) it was a huge weight off our shoulders having her. What would've been hours spent chasing vendors for new dates and exploring options was whittled down to a total of two emails between us and Karina to find the new date. When we again had to change our plans she was always there and willing to get on the phone to talk through ideas, contact people for options and help keep us from losing our minds.Even if you don't think you need a planner for everything leading up to the wedding, at minimum you need Karina for the month and day of. She is so knowledgeable about timing and scheduling and kept my optimism from creating an impossibly tight and chaotic schedule. Day of I didn't even bother having my phone on me because I knew Karina had it all covered. She made sure the reception space was breathtaking, from helping me choose candles, to chasing down linens when I decided I wanted them with only two weeks to go, and then actually pulling it all together day of. I wasn't worried for a second because I had complete faith she had us covered. I swear she has supersonic hearing - when I was commenting about a blister on my heel before the ceremony, she materialized an instant later with moleskin in hand and personally bandaged my feet.Karina knew how important it was to us to get to dancing ASAP, and when a taxi fiasco led to my grandfather being late and set our ceremony back nearly an hour, Karina chased the kitchen staff to move the meal along as quickly as they reasonably could without us even having to ask her to.All in all, you would be so lucky to have her on your wedding day and we can't recommend her enough!!

Your other best friend at the wedding!I don't know where to start about Karina. She exceeded all of our expectations. Not only did she help us every step of the way, but truly gave us genuine and very honest advice. With so many details and options, you need someone who will get to the point, and really tell you how it is. She's flexible and so detail oriented. Nothing will be missed on your day. Our day went so seamlessly - and even if it didn't, I wouldn't know because Karina literally took care of everything. I wasn't feeling too well after the ceremony and Karina went ABOVE AND BEYOND by going out and buying me a heating pad - no one would have done this. She is a beautiful soul, inside and out and will ensure you have the most AMAZING day - no detail will be overlooked. She has an eye for decor, layouts, and visions. Trust her - she will not lead you wrong. We're so glad we chose Karina - everyone still talks about how beautiful the day was. We are so truly grateful for all her work!

Karina was absolutely fabulous at our wedding. Extremely professional, meticulous, and very experienced. She had a well established and respected rapport with all the vendors. Honestly, our wedding wouldn't have been a success without her. Would highly recommend Karina over any wedding planner in the country!

Karina was a joy to work with. Her wealth of knowledge and connections in the industry made the planning process go smoothly. If we ever had a question or issue, Karina had the answer and was always quick to respond. At meetings with vendors she always knew which questions to ask. Karina helped us navigate through over 2 years of planning (thanks to COVID) with such grace, with multiple changes in locations, dates, and guest list counts. Most importantly, she managed to make the exact image I had in my mind a reality, and had a wonderful sense of both calm and excitement on our big day.

We can not emphasize enough how glad we are that we made the decision to work with Karina as our planner, especially navigating the ever changing and always confusing time of trying to plan a COVID wedding. Having Karina on our team brought us peace of mind.There seemed to be an endless list of decisions, spreadsheets and tasks that we never even imagined until Karina explained and helped us through them. We also know in the background she was doing a lot of work and managing issues that we never even had to worry about.We were absolutely delighted with every vendor that Karina recommended as well. We very much trusted and relied on her guidance throughout the whole process.Karina, thank you so much for being a guiding light on this wonderful journey and helping bring our vision to a beautiful reality!

I don't even know where to start - there are not enough words to explain how amazing Karina truly is. Her support, kindness, knowledge, and communication leading up to the day are unmatched. Then came the wedding day and I was blown away! Her attention to detail, work ethic, and organization are what every bride needs on their wedding day. Our day was the smoothest and most perfect day we could have ever imagined. Thank you so much, Karina, for your support and guidance in making our wedding the best day of our lives. You are truly amazing!
