Meet Kara, one of our Lead Planners! She’s adventurous, creative, and always waiting for you with a smile. Kara officially joined the gang in January of this year but it feels like she’s been around for so much longer. Kara’s incredible experience in the event and hospitality industry made her the perfect fit for our team when she decided to move back to Victoria full-time, after working in a remote fishing and adventure lodge for a number of seasons. We feel so lucky to have found her!
Fun fact: Kara is good friends with one of our past brides, Berkley, and was introduced to us by our social media gal, Danielle!
Get to know her a little bit better below:

What’s your must-have for wedding day:
My fanny pack! My little hands free pack is always filled with pens, kleenex, bandaids (wedding blisters are a real thing!), and of course snacks. Can’t get through a day, wedding or not, without snacks.
We will be BFF if:
You’re easy going, open to getting creative, and love food! I’m a huge foodie so if you are too we’ll have lots to talk and get excited about 🙂
Wedding planner wish list:
A backyard, west coast celebration. Fun, relaxed, and magical all at the same time.
