Karen Collins

CEO | Principal Planner & Designer

Weddings have been a big part of my life for over 16 years. When I finished college, I helped a couple of friends plan their weddings then decided to explore the wedding and event industry. I interned with a top wedding planner in Florida and after seeing a few of her lavish events come to life, it sealed my love for weddings. I worked in the hospitality industry at the Ritz Carlton and Hilton hotels while I built my business then moved to Cincinnati. I thought I'd always be a Florida girl but having been in the Midwest for over ten years, I don't see myself anywhere else.

Wedding planning gives me the chance to be creative, cultivate new relationships and be witness to love. The best part is when our couples become our friends. The journey to wedding day brings opportunity to spend a ton of time with some wonderful couples.

When I'm not wedding planning, I love spending time with my husband, Andy and our two boys. We are big travel addicts so we are constantly planning trips to explore new places. Our most recent trip took us on a 17 day adventure to Marrakech, Paris, Ireland, Milan & Venice then to Greece.

    I have worked in events and hospitality for 15 years, and my passion has always been with weddings. I thrive on watching couples and their families’ dreams come to life after so much time and planning. I love personally connecting with my clients to understand their style, vision and what’s is most important on their wedding day. My goal is to provide white glove service, so you can really soak in every beautiful moment.

    My passion is not just design, it’s telling your love story through the beautiful details on your big day. Give me your favorite colors, tell me your favorite love songs and share your wedding day goals with us so we can set the stage for you to make memories that will last a lifetime. When I’m not working on a wedding, you can find me outdoors with my dog or on the couch binge watching the hottest Netflix series.

    I am your behind-the-scenes girl who is checking on hotel quotes, calling vendors, and making sure we are right on schedule for all things leading up to your big day. My ultimate goal? For you and your spouse to have a beautiful wedding day filled with the best memories celebrating with your loved ones. That's it.
