Karma Goddess Event Planning - Atlantis, Florida

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!

We had the pleasure of working with Katya for a wedding that we were photographing this month and we truly wish we could have her with us at every wedding. She was so great at communicating throughout the whole process and day of the wedding, is extremely attentive and detail oriented, is incredible to her couples + their loved ones, and she truly made us feel like we didn't just meet that day! She kept everything running so smoothly despite some hiccups and we plan to recommend them to all of our couples!

I don’t even know where to begin with this amazing team. TLDR; book her ASAP, I have done a very thorough research of wedding planners in Miami and I guarantee you she will be the BEST, most personable, most genuine, and most professional wedding planner you will find.

Vanessa, from the moment I met her, had incredible energy and smile that made all the wedding planning stress go away. I honestly don’t know what I would have done without her. We had to move our wedding THREE times due to COVID. I still remember the first time we talked about possibly moving our original wedding date- 5/2/2021- when COVID first started. I was in denial, I could not believe it was happening, but Vanessa made it clear that I need to move my date ASAP in order for me to get the date I want. Our wedding was at Vizcaya, so of course, this popular venue was already full a year out but we were able to find another perfect date thanks to Vanessa’s quick phone calls and decisions. Everyone thinks moving wedding 3 times must’ve been very stressful, but it honestly was not at all with Vanessa by my side. She has such incredible relationships with all the vendors that everything just worked out so smoothly. Vanessa was there for me for TWO AND A HALF YEARS, always available to talk to. My wedding day was amazing because of her and her team. I managed myself to not cry throughout my wedding until I said goodbye to her in the end, I could not even get myself to give her a hug cuz I knew I was gonna start bawling- she was such an incredible support throughout and she made the wedding just MAGICAL. I still can’t believe how perfect everything was, my guests commented that it was not only the best wedding they have been to, but also so well programmed that it was a such a seamless and incredible experience for them. Weather was perfect (“vanessa magic”), we LOVED our photographer that Vanessa highly ecommended from the beginning, Korean traditional ceremony we put together last minute went amazing, DJ was so much fun, and just everything was PERFECT.

The only advice I want to give future brides is that you should just TRUST HER. I am the kind of person who needs to do a thorough research about everything to make sure I made the right choice, but all my research led me back to Vanessa’s first recommendation. So please, save yourself time, and just go with her recommendations. She knows the best. I don’t want to end this review because I feel like this will really be the end of my incredible journey with her, but my family, husband (!), and I want to sincerely thank all of the amazing team members of Karma goddess for working the magic and make our dream come true. We love you, and can’t thank you enough. Love, Jon & Esther

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. I would recommend Vanessa and the Karma Goddess team for any event planning or coordinating needs. Thank you guys!!

I just wanted to give a shoutout to Karma Goddess. My team and I had such an awesome time working with them on W + S's wedding at The Birthday Cake Castle in Florida. Seriously, it was the smoothest day ever for the couple and all the vendors involved. It was a day to remember for sure!

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 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!!!

Vanessa was the event Planner for My daughters wedding that took place on June 23, 1028. There are no words to describe the amazing job she did. I can't thank her enough for making the day so wonderful. She worked her magic and made it perfect. One over the moon happy MOB ((Mother of Bride) Thank you Vanessa!!!
