KC Weddings & Events - Naples, Florida

I would give Kara Cardinal a 1000/10 for her wedding planner services without hesitation! From the moment we met her we were greeted with the warmest smile and feelings of comfort that she has got us on our big day and leading up to it. Some of the things we were looking for in a planner were their niceness/ability to get along with us and others, their organization, their affordability, and their quality. We read reviews of Kara and her team which gave us comfort using her. This is why I’m here today to tell you to book Kara Cardinal! She is nothing but the sweetest and most organized planner out there! Her price point was absolutely perfect as well considering the amount of work she did for us. On my wedding day everything happened behind the scenes without me being involved. Kara made sure I was not bothered and got to enjoy my entire day. Her planning application was absolutely amazing and made it so easy to keep track of anything. First biggest piece of advice is to hire a wedding planner and second piece is to hire Kara Cardinal and her team! Couldn’t have done my wedding day without her, thanks again for everything Kara. Hoping we’ll have another event where we get to use Kara again!

We hired KC Weddings & Events about three months before our wedding date, and from our first call, we knew we would be in GREAT hands with Kara. The day wouldn’t have run as smoothly without Kara's knowledge, professionalism, positive attitude, and impeccable attention to detail. Our experience with Kara and her associate planner, Ashley, was a 10/10. Kara helped plan our wedding in Naples all the from Canada, giving us expert advice and numerous fabulous vendor recommendations for linens, steaming services, glassware, photo booths, etc. Kara’s associate planner, Ashley, also designed and printed all of our signage for our wedding, which turned out to be more beautiful than imagined. Kara truly cares about bringing the bride and groom’s vision to life, and she was just as excited about our decisions as we were, making her such a pleasure to work with. We truly wanted to feel like guests at our wedding, and she handled the day's logistics, planning, and overall schedule like a seasoned professional. She also handled any hiccups that came up, ensuring that we could enjoy the day without any stress. We wouldn’t have been able to enjoy the day as much as we did without her. KC Weddings & Events exceeded our expectations. We’re so lucky to have met Kara, and we can’t thank her enough for helping us plan the wedding of our dreams. Thank you so much!

Kara and Ashley our wedding planners were not only on top of the preparation for the event with professional video calls to curate a night we would all enjoy but he truly listened and helped bring our vision to reality. Any issue that came up they were on top of immediately and really put in worries at ease.
For the event they helped set the tone and energy, had everyone walking out saying that was one of the best wedding they had been too! Thank you for making our special day perfect. we will forever be grateful .

We got married at the Naples Grande and did the ceremony on the beach and reception inside which required a ton of coordination/logistics that Kara did a fantastic job handling! There is no way we could have been able to do it without her!

Kara's also very well known in the Southwest Florida market and has great recommendations for any type of vendor you would need.

Kara provided significant guidance on everything from large items to the tiniest details that I never would have thought to consider.

Thanks so much to Kara and her team for making out day so special!!!

Thank you to Kara and Ashley, both made our day goes smooth, so we could relax and enjoy it.
KC planning understood how I vision my day. We gave them a few inspirational pictures and you recreated exactly how I would have done it myself.
I didn't have to worry about anything at all, everything was perfect, all the little details, the timeline, etc.
I think KC Wedding planning was the perfect planning company for our needs, we were looking for a day of coordination, and you both exceed our expectations.
I totally recommend them; they will go above and beyond to make your day special.
A big thank you to KC Wedding & Events.

We had the pleasure of working with Kara and her team over Memorial Day weekend for a beautiful destination wedding in Naples, FL. This wedding was unique in that we were hired by a family member and therefore brought into the fold later in the planning process - well after the wedding vendors, timeline etc had been established. Kara was great to work with and initiated contact in order to organize what we would need and overall logistics into her master timeline. She was a breeze to work with and made our job run even more smoothly for the bride and her guests. For example, when we arrived on site for set up Kara was waiting at the door to greet us, and gave us directions of where to bring the gelato cart, confirming there would be clearance the full way. (Typically we're left to find our way ourselves, and on occasion have had to face unexpected hurdles like stairs which is hard to overcome for a 400 lb stainless steel cart!) Not only did she greet us but she accompanied us to our set up spot, inquired whether we had everything we needed and advised us on how the timeline was progressing and when to be ready by. Kara kept us in the loop - real time - by text to inform us outside on the progression of the reception so we would have the gelato out of the cart and on full display as soon as the guests finished dinner and came outside. We appreciated Kara's communication and look forward to working with her again in the future.

I would highly recommend KC Weddings and Events to anyone planning their big day! I had the pleasure of working closely with Kara the 2 months prior to our wedding. I purchased the most basic package as I didn't have many vendors to coordinate, but needed help and peace of mind for the day of the wedding. While Kara was technically only really contracted to help me a month or two before the wedding, she always made herself available to me if I had any questions, and keep in touch with me regularly through the several months prior. She really became a friend during this time, and now I'm sad I don't get to see of talk to her anymore 😢. She really is fantastic! And I have to give a shout out to her hubbs who came (sprained ankle and all) at the end of the wedding the video our bubble exit and give it to our videographer so that we didn't have to pay extra for more hours with my videographer. Our wedding was everything we dreamed of and more, THANK YOU KC WEDDINGS AND EVENTS!!❣️

There are no words to describe Kara, except she is amazing. I’d never thought of a wedding planner but the moment we spoke I knew she was the right person to help me. Me, and now my husband were just planning on going to the courthouse to get married, we were expecting our baby boy in the summer and didn’t think we would have time to create a small wedding in a short time window. We thought of certain dates having meaning and 2/12 was the number we wanted. It landed on a Monday and the date was approaching fast we thought it would be impossible to plan something in such a short amount of time but Kara made the impossible possible. The best decision we ever made was hiring her. She took over everything and it was so easy for us. She took our vision and made it a reality. We had a great small wedding on the beach with our immediate family. It was perfect. We are so grateful for her, for all she did and how quickly she made this wedding happen.
