About Aficial Events
Aficial Events
Aficial Events is a small wedding planning business. I offer 2-Month Coordination + Day-of Services, Partial and Full Event Planning. I specialize in creating a relaxed, cool, and enjoyable wedding day filled with unique elements that tell the story of the couple. I love working with individuals with a clear yet flexible vision and are chill, fun, and non-traditional!
I'm cool, calm, fun, and non-traditional in life and when it comes to wedding planning and day-of coordination. I'm a team player and strive in wedding environments where I use our built timeline as a guide to move swiftly through the day. I take things one step at a time when things veer from our timeline, and take pride in being clam and collected when dealing with those surprises. I am confident in the work that I do and work well with couples that share a similar vibe. :)
In three words: Calm, Confident, Flexible

Karen is the GOAT!!!
Detailed, organized, friendly, and just an overall wonderful human being. We hired Karen for 2-month coordination and right off the bat, she was such a thoughtful planner and her willingness to guide us through anything and everything was amazing. I love a good spreadsheet and Karen has the best!!! Every meeting with her was so productive and we left each one with clear next steps/homework. The day of the wedding, everything went SO smoothly. Karen and her team took care of setting up all of our decor and they did so beautifully! When I arrived to the venue and saw everything, I was taken aback by how stunning everything looked — we had a mix of florals, candles, and fruit for our decor so getting everything set up was no small feat. Karen’s creative eye flawlessly brought my vision to life and I am so so grateful! Outside of decor, Karen’s organization, vendor communication, and speedy cleanup at the end of night was top-notch. We were able to truly enjoy the night, knowing Karen was there. She even took fun videos of the reception on my phone, which were great to watch the morning after to help relive the night :’) Literally each one of my vendors raved about how much they loved working with Karen — if that’s not enough to convince you to hire her for your next event, idk what is! SUCH a pro. Would 100% recommend Karen to any couple!
The Best Wedding Planner
We had an amazing experience working with Aficial Events as our wedding planner. Their communication style was extremely detailed, organized, intuitive and understanding throughout the entire planning process, which helped make wedding planning feel smooth and enjoyable. Aficial Events was professional, organized and easy going in their approach while also ensuring every detail was thoughtfully planned out. On our big day everything went off without a hitch thanks to their diligent work, allowing us to relax and soak in every special moment. We never felt stressed because we knew we were in great hands with Aficial Events. They truly made our wedding day easy, fun and special!
Hiring Aficial Events was a game-changer!
We were so happy to work with Karen and her team for our wedding! We hired her to help us with 2 month and day-of coordination, and we really couldn't have done it without her. She is so organized, flexible, and well-connected, and that helped so much with our pre-wedding stress. Even when we would frantically reach out with questions, she would always ease our minds by responding in a timely manner and she was always willing to workshop ideas with us. Not to mention, she is such a bubbly and lovely person to have around! On the day of the wedding, Kim and Antonio were so calm, considerate, and organized - between the two of them and Karen's thoughtful coordination, our day truly went off without a hitch. We are so grateful for everything they did to help us have the perfect day!
You've Found the Perfect Coordinator
Choosing Aficial Events is a no brainer. From the initial meeting to the big day, Karen was everything my wife and I could ask for and more. Karen creates a comfortable environment where it feels like you are working together with a friend. We had such a wonderful experience working with someone with this level of professionalism while also being very chill and fun. She is incredibly organized which helped with coordinating with all our vendors and venue. On top of that, she provided us with multiple spreadsheets and other organizational tools making sure nothing slipped through the cracks. We had no problem communicating with Karen as she was very responsive via text or virtual meetings. Most importantly, Karen was able to take our vision, fine tune it and make it a reality. Her creativity and problem solving skills are unmatched. Any questions or issues that arose, she had an answer and/or plan. My wife and I were able to be present and enjoy one of the greatest days of our lives because Karen executed it flawlessly. We definitely recommend Karen to anyone looking for a planner/coordinator. She killed it at our wedding and she will definitely do the same for yours!
