Congratulations on your engagement!
This is a special moment in your life that should be pleasurable, memorable, & stress-free.
You're here because you realize that planning a wedding requires lots of time & energy, and you're right!
I have 10+ years of experience planning and producing a variety of events.
I thrive on things being structured and organized. I love creating to-do lists & timelines, dealing with vendors, and ensuring that my clients are well taken care of!
I also stay calm under pressure and think fast on my feet when sh*t hits the fan, and trust me, it will at some point!
Keep scrolling to learn how I can help you plan the wedding day you've been dreaming of.
I tend to vibe really with couples who aren't looking for a cookie-cutter wedding (who like to do things a bit differently) and living a compassionate lifestyle.
I'll sit down with you and answer all your questions, review your plans, offer suggestions, and give you my expert advice.
Ideal for couples who want to do most of the planning and need an expert to step-in the month-of to take the pressure off. Here are examples of what can be included:
Ideal for couples who don't have the time & energy that is required to plan a wedding, who want to sit back and let an expert take care of everything from start to finish!
I can look over your options, and we can compare them together, I will point out the pros and cons of each to help in your selection.
You'll feel confident with your decision!
It's easy to lose track and fall behind on your to-do list, especially when you already have a job, and wedding planning is a full-time job! I can help you stay on track with regular check-in sessions (via phone & email).
Having trouble deciding which vendor to go with?
I will review their offerings and give you my expert advice.
I can also give you referrals if you don't feel like spending hours searching online.
One of the key to having a stress-free wedding day is to having a detailed timeline.
This is important, so all your vendors know what's going on and when - so no important moments are missed!
I LOVE planning vow renewal ceremonies & anniversary celebrations (I'm all about finding ways to keep celebrating life)!
I work closely with a travel agent, and together we can help you plan a beautiful wedding - anywhere in the world!
Let's face it; contracts can be confusing. I've read LOTS and know how to navigate the fine print. I can also negotiate on your behalf to help you get the best deals!
Weddings can be expensive. I can advise you on when to cut corners, and when NOT to cut... I have experience working with budgets of all sizes.
“We hired Karine to help us the week leading up to and on the day of our wedding. She did a terrific job. She knows exactly what she’s doing. You can tell she has a ton of experience because she is able to anticipate any issues that may arise and has the resourcefulness to swiftly prepare for and handle them. She communicated with all of our vendors so I didn’t have to. Her presence on our big day was warm, cheerful, and unobtrusive, as she held everything together and made sure it all went smoothly.
On our wedding day, my husband and I didn’t have to worry about anything because we knew Karine had it all under control. If you are thinking about having a coordinator help you with your wedding (and you seriously should) I wholeheartedly recommend Karine Lang.”
-Kat & Alex
“Karine did a solid job with our wedding. I thoroughly enjoyed working with her from the initial meeting through the hand-off and the on-site execution. She was professional, upbeat and helpful. A lot of the Bay Area wedding planners charge exorbitant fees but Karine’s pricing was fair and she delivered quality work. She’s an overall pleasure to work with and has an upbeat personality.
Weddings are not an easy business but she seems to truly love her work. I would recommend Karine to anyone looking for a solid event planner or for your wedding month-of services.”
-Blake & Jacob
“Karine was a fantastic month-of planner for my wedding in Berkeley in October 2010. It would be really easy to go on and on about Karine’s easy disposition, organization, listening skills, and willingness to work with even the most difficult vendors. Those things are all true and they make Karine fantastic. She even went nose-to-nose with venue managers who had veered from the contract, and she offered to bring in her own vendors when one of ours failed to respond to a series of messages. There’s a tremendous amount of value-add right there!
I’m tremendously grateful to Karine. Needless to say, we had a fabulous, fun wedding that my wife and I really enjoyed and of which we were truly proud. Karine not only helped us make our wedding day everything we dreamed it could be, but made sure we were able to relax, focus on the important stuff, and rock out!”
-Ryan & Kerry
“We hired Karine to be our wedding coordinator and she was absolutely wonderful! We really could not and would not want to imagine the process without her ( I speak for myself & on behalf of my new husband. We appreciated how attentive and responsive Karine was throughout the process. I don’t think more than a day would ever pass before she got back to us on emails and she was impressively resourceful with any questions we had.
Finally, there was the day of the wedding… which turned out AMAZING & PERFECT in every way.
She & her assistant were, without a doubt, the 2 biggest factors in having our day unfold with the magic & flow that it did. We got to sit back, let go (finally!) of all the lists, and just enjoy FULLY, getting married!!! Our day could not have been what it was without Karine. We are forever grateful and couldn’t recommend anyone more.”

I'm also a Life Mastery Coach, and I can help you stay sane throughout the wedding planning process. If you don't know this already, weddings can be stressful.
Even if you're planning a small backyard wedding (speaking as a bride & a wedding planner), there are still lots of decisions and work to do to have the wedding day of your dreams, and it can be overwhelming.
I'll make sure you're taking good care of your mind, body, & soul because I'm all about self-love & self-care!
I'm someone you can lean on, and trust, your confidant, and I will never judge you; that's not my style.

I'm a certified event planner with 10+ years of experience planning various events such as weddings, conferences, trade shows, film screenings, and more.
I spent a good portion of the last decade focusing my energy on helping vegan singles find love with my speed dating events (across North America), matchmaking, and coaching services.
I was known as Vegan Cupid - yes, for real, google it!
I've been plant-based for 18 years, and yes, I can still work with you if you aren't vegan (because I'm not that kind of vegan).
2021 was a big year for me... I turned 40, proposed to my partner in Italy, and decided it was time for a fun new project.
I wasn't sure what that new project would be until I returned home from Costa Rica...
My husband and I had our legal ceremony on Dec 31st in our backyard (did I mention I LOVE backyard weddings?).
The idea was to have our symbolic ceremony with my white dress, fancy dinner & cocktails, and party in Costa Rica with our closest friends.
But the universe had other plans for us.
On the day of the wedding, my husband woke up violently ill! I've planned over 50 weddings and this NEVER happened to any of my couples...but it happened to us,
I had to cancel the wedding; I was crushed.
However, the next day he woke up feeling better, and we decided to reschedule everything for the following day.
I spent hours finding a new person to do my hair and make-up, rescheduling with the photographer, etc., and on the day of the rescheduled wedding, he woke up sick again.
Needless to say, it was a major rollercoaster of emotions.
We ended up extending our trip because he was unfit for travel, and on our last day in paradise, he mustered up a bit of energy for us to take some pictures.
So we got dressed up, I got my hair and make-up done, and we did a super quick photoshoot (I'm talking 30 minutes) with a super talented photographer, and now we have stunning wedding photos.
This was not the wedding/honeymoon I planned, but sometimes our plans go out the window.
So I got back home, and the following day I had a strong calling to get back into wedding planning.
I am passionate about helping couples make their wedding day special, and I want to take away some of the stress so they can truly enjoy every moment.
(Hint: I'll be sharing lots of valuable information & tips that I would normally charge for!)
