An Impressive Event

My husband and I used An Impressive Event five years ago for our wedding and, to this day, we still say that investing in her assistance was the best money we ever spent on our wedding. If I recall, that's what we said as we drove away from the reception.Karen is * budget conscious - she respects your need to keep to your budget and will help you work within those parameters. * respective of different cultures and ideas - she helped us create a unique theme and made sure to respect our church's requirements for the ceremony. Our church had dealt with pushy planners and were concerned about being run over by another one. Karen turned around their impression and made everyone on staff at ease.* happy / peppy / energetic - there WILL be days when you somehow can't handle the whole planning process and she's there to remind you of the end goal. When your wedding dress shop closes after you paid full price (the ONE vendor I chose on my own!), she is there with backup plans and resources and consolation chocolate.* organized and prepared - no matter how anal the bride / groom may be about things, details get left behind and Karen's expertise will keep you on task. Her attention to detail is impressive; we thought we were her only clients while she helped us during our wedding planning. We were shocked to hear that there were other couples she was assisting because her support and availability were amazing.* connected within the industry - her contacts and reputation garner great vendors and good deals. She can help you negotiate with your vendors to get the packages that reflect your actual needs. I cannot say enough good things about her assistance. Having her along with the wedding planning kept me sane and helped me from second guessing my choices. I never felt like a stranger was involved and never felt like it was anything but my wedding.If you're unsure about taking the step to hiring a planner, use her Getting Started package to get a feel for the fit. We did that and it made the decision to move forward oodles easier.When we celebrate a milestone anniversary, she will be the first person I call.

If I could give Karen a bajillion stars, I would. She was our wedding coordinator for our event 12-17-10 and my wedding would have literally have been ruined if it wasnt for her. She kept my vendors in line, made sure the venue was set up right and kept me calm after my MOH walked out the morning of the wedding! I dont know what I would have done without her. She was extremely professional, timely and so on-page with what I wanted for MY day! She made sure everything was in it's proper place, and that everything made it home after the wedding safely. I cannot speak highly enough of her. She was worth every cent and then some (she was very affordable, by the way) and if I ever need to coordinate an event again, I will surely be contacting Karen. Anyone looking for a coordinator would be a fool to pass her up!

An Impressive Event is AMAZING!! Karen coordinated my new wife and I's wedding yesterday and made it run so smoothly we had people commenting on how they have never seen a wedding run so smoothly and on time. She's definitely worth more than 5 stars. She anticipated every need and made everything my wife and I wanted happen! We couldn't be happier with all her help! Thank you Karen! (And Bill)

Karen coordinated our 8-11-2017 Park Winters wedding, and we cannot thank her enough. I gave her my plans and details, and she executed them seemlessly on our wedding day. Ive never entertained a large group of people and certainly never planned an event with up to 90 people, her knowledge and expertise put me at ease. She made amazing suggestions for details that I had no idea how to appoach. Karen was also amazing at dealing with the difficult personality of one particular vendor, and worked diplomatically to make sure that everything was under control. She put my groom's mind at ease, which was hard to do considering how overwhelmed we both intially felt about the wedding planning process. Karen listended patiently while I vented about small wedding details, and let me know how normal the experiences where. Her compassionate advice on dealing with wedding stress and family dynamics made her invaluable as well. She is a person that you can trust to go above and beyond with your vision and details.
