Karma Goddess Event Planning Planner

There are not enough words to express how incredible Vanessa and her team at KarmaGoddess are! My wedding weekend far exceeded expectations and would not have been possible without Vanessa. With her extensive experience in the industry, Vanessa takes wedding planning to another level- she has the timeline nailed down to a tee and has such fantastic relationships with top tier vendors, that you cannot go wrong. She has truly seen it all and is prepared for everything (i.e., groomsmen forgetting tuxedo shirt studs). I felt like I could truly be present at my wedding without the mental load of thinking of the little details, because KarmaGoddess had it all covered. The whole team is extremely responsive and communicates in a (very appreciated) timely manner. To top it all off, Vanessa has the most calm and tranquil demeanor, which really sets the tone for a stress-free wedding day. She went above and beyond in so many ways and made my entire experience. If I could give 10 stars, I would!

Working with Vanessa and her team was one of the best decisions we made when planning our wedding. Although we purchased the day of planning package, the to-do list, checklist, and list of recommended vendors she provided us with were a god send and helped us get everything sorted for our big day. Whenever we had questions or needed advice, Vanessa was easy to reach and ready to help. They were even able to provide support for printing needs we had not fully anticipated. The meeting we had before the wedding with Vanessa and Katya allowed us to run through the final details and really feel prepared. Their service the day of the wedding was wonderful. I can get overwhelmed and stressed about making sure all the details of a big event are in place, but Vanessa and Katya made sure everything ran smoothly and I was able to relax and be in the moment. Our wedding was on the smaller side so I was tempted to try to handle everything myself, but there is so much that goes into making a wedding happen that, in retrospect, I’m so grateful we had the support. If you’re contemplating working with Vanessa and her team, I highly recommend that you do!

Vanessa and Kat were our wedding coordinators at the Bonnet House last month. The Karama Goddess team did an amazing job keeping my mind at ease. They thought of everything, were always a step a head and had our day run so smoothly without any hiccups (that I heard about). Our wedding day was one of the most amazing days of my life. It would not have been possible without this amazing team. If you want to enjoy your wedding day and not have to worry about any issues, I would recommend Vanessa and the Karma Goddess team for any event planning or coordinating needs. Thank you guys!!

For context, my husband and I were living in New York and in the middle of a move/starting new jobs in medicine while planning a destination wedding in Miami. He is Indian and my family is South American. Vanessa & her right hand, Katya, gave us the cultural fusion wedding of our dreams. Choosing Karma Goddess as our planning team was by far our best decision in wedding planning. I'd say the #1 reason would be how Vanessa & Katya were able to read our personalities and really cater their guidance to how my husband and I best made decisions. A close second reason would be how available/flexible Vanessa was for the entire 1.5 years we worked with her. Vanessa held many evening and weekend meetings and never made us feel rushed. We often thought back to the many planners we interviewed who said they would have a set number of meetings with us and that blew our minds. We probably talked to Vanessa almost every day via phone or text in the weeks leading up to our wedding. As far as connections, they found us discounts or affordable recommendations in Miami that easily made working with them worthwhile. Being in medicine, neither of us had a clue about design or event planning. Vanessa organized everything while still letting us make all the decisions. She found a way to present just enough variety of options without overwhelming us. By the end of our time together, she was already predicting what we would pick with complete accuracy :) They are extremely passionate about what they do, and genuinely enjoy problem solving and getting creative. We only had to visit Miami twice (a plus for us as we were swamped with our new jobs) but they would have welcomed us as many times as we wanted. We had the best time venue touring and food tasting with Vanessa and Katya. We hung out with them extra because we genuinely enjoyed spending time with them. The wedding days (this was a 3 day Indian fusion wedding) would not have gone as smoothly without them. When we ran into issues with the hotel, Vanessa and her team quickly solved them with a phone call. We later found out she also put out fires that we didn't even notice at the time. We get so many compliments on the design, food, and organization of our wedding and give Vanessa and her team all of the credit. We were in total awe when we saw how our reception space turned out in person. I would strongly recommend Karma Goddess without any hesitation to any of my closest friends or family planning a wedding. You will remember this day for the rest of your lives, and having a team who is as invested and passionate about making your big day a success is more than worth it.

I cannot even put into words the gratitude I feel towards Vanessa and Kat. Our original planner had dropped out because we were doing 2 weddings in one day. We were both panicking because we were 5 months out. The moment we started working with Vanessa we immediately saw the difference of having a planner that truly loves her job. We both felt so confident and comfortable that we were in the best hands. Your wedding day can feel like a truly stressful day, let alone ours started from 6:45 and didn't end until 11pm and I truly never felt one ounce of stress. Vanessa you are so amazing at your job and I'm so happy you made our dreams come true. You got my vision from day one and really made it into a reality. Kat, I feel like I have a new best friend and you kept me so calm and made sure I got the BEST pictures. Every single person at our wedding came up to both of us and said they are the best wedding planners they've ever seen. By the end, we considered them part of the wedding and our guests

If you are even remotely considering hiring Karma Godess, DO IT! I wasn’t sure how much we really needed to hire a planner but we would have been lost without Vanessa and Kat. Working with them eased so much stress and it was comforting knowing that someone was there to worry about all of the details and handle the many things we never would have thought of on our own. In the weeks leading up to the wedding, Karma Goddess made sure no stone was left unturned. But the best part about working with them was on the day of the wedding. As the bride, Kat was by my side all day making sure things ran smoothly and that I wouldn’t have to worry about a thing. Vanessa was boots on the ground at the venue, making sure all of the details came to fruition. Together, they are a powerhouse. They brought so much good energy and are a joy to be around. The best people to spend your wedding day with. Our wedding would not have been as incredible as it was without them. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you, Karma Goddess.

I was searching for a month of coordinator for our wedding at the Bonnet House in Fort Lauderdale. After meeting with multiple coordinators I was certain we wanted to book with Karma Goddess after speaking with Vanessa. The Karma Goddess team was amazing, offering the 60 day coordination was incredibly helpful and even the lead up to that was above and beyond. Vanessa is an absolute Rockstar, leading up to the wedding day a call with Vanessa put my mind at ease that all was on track and we were covered. Our wedding day was truly the best day of my life, anything that came up she was 5 steps ahead of. I would recommend Vanessa and the Karma Goddess team for any event planning or coordinating needs. Thank you all again!!!

We worked with Vanessa and her team to plan my wedding and it was hands down THE best decision we made. Vanessa made the planning so easy and had the most calming and positive attitude from start to finish. Leading up to the wedding day, she and Katya were absolutely incredible, and I cannot say enough wonderful things about the pair. From gathering our somewhat unpredictable and often unruly bridal party, to ensuring my husband and I were content (and fed) the entire day, Vanessa and Katya handled it all with grace and made our entire weekend a dream come true.

Sometimes you start a relationship with a vendor and you feel good about it. Over the course of working with Vanessa and Katya it quickly went from good to great. The relationship is one we will have forever. They are super attentive and care so much about your wedding day. Always a positive attitude! Love the energy from this dynamic duo! Always going above and beyond. Super grateful to have KARMA GODDESS part of our wedding day. If you're looking for a team that works with you, cares, understands, knows how to pivot in any situation, can handle the hardest of venus, creates solutions, not problems, and is an absolute joy to be around...look no further. Would work with all over again and again. Thank you for the best day of our lives and being a part of it! Karma Goddess you ROCK! With love always to our new friends!
