“Not only is Kara an excellent and thoughtful event manager, she also provides a friendship and human touch that is so reassuring.
She reminded me to stay in the present, focus on the positive, and that it all happens so fast – so enjoy every minute of it.

“Kara is extremely organized, detail-oriented and considers every possible scenario. She's truly unflappable, exceedingly capable and on top of that, an awesome human.
We loved every moment of working with Kara.”
— elise
“In any industry, there are always those few who practice at the highest levels.
Kara is such a practitioner.”
— peter
“There are not enough words to describe what Kara means to us.”
“I cry (literally) thinking about the support Kara provided me – not only for every detail of the wedding but personally as well. She is an expert within the industry but has a heart of gold. She takes the time to get to know you including what gets you excited or what could possibly get you extra nervous. She will always be one step ahead of you and the item will most likely already be checked off her extremely detailed checklist.
Choosing Kara was one of the very best decisions I made associated with the wedding.
We all dream of our special day and I will always look back and be extremely grateful Kara Patten was my wedding planner.

“I feel like every time I looked up and was either nervous or excited or sad or anything at all, I saw Kara in the vicinity somewhere and instantly felt a sense of peace.
Kara is really good at her job, but also an amazing presence.”
— natalie
“Aside from being a joy to work with, Kara is a truly wonderful person to spend time with. You’d be lucky to have her around on your wedding day.
She is fun and driven but cool, calm, and collected.”
— erica
“Find yourself an event planner that becomes a part of the family. This amazing woman was thrown a million curveball in 2020 and not once did she let it show. We were beyond lucky to have her as apart of this journey.
Everyone needs a Kara.”
