Intentionally intimate. Unapologetically you.
Respectfully, you're not here because you care about being timeless, traditional, or following the rules. You're here because you value intentionality over tradition. My clients aren't worried about formalities, expectations, or doing things the "right" way. My focus is on creating emotionally rich, and logistically seamless experiences for couples wanting a micro-wedding or elopement. If you want to get married in a way that feels like you, you're exactly where you're meant to be.
Not your mother's wedding...
Hi, I'm Kara!
I'm a native New Yorker that, just like everyone else, moved to North Carolina. I've spent the last 10 years immersed in the wedding world, while also earning a Bachelor's degree in Finance and a Master’s in Business Analytics.
When I’m not working, I’m either at home with my husband, Michael, and our three fur babies: April, Winnie, and Pete...or at a McDonald’s drive-thru getting a large Coke and fries.
I'd love the opportunity to help bring your dream wedding to life!

Micro Weddings
Elopements
Services
An elopement is an intentional, experience-first way to get married centered entirely on the couple and their connection. With 0–10 guests, these celebrations prioritize personal vows, storytelling, and how the day feels over formalities or production.
The vibe is intimate, adventurous, and flexible, often set in scenic landscapes, courthouses, or private spaces. Planning is streamlined with a minimal vendor team, fewer logistics, and simpler legal requirements, allowing room for spontaneity and meaning.
Think a sunset cliffside ceremony followed by a private dinner. Just you, your love, and the moment!
What is an Elopement?
A micro wedding is for couples who want to host a meaningful celebration, but on a more intentional scale. With 10–30 guests, these weddings balance intimacy with structure, allowing you to gather your closest people without committing to a full-scale production.
Micro weddings are typically held at boutique venues, gardens, private homes, or restaurants and involve a more robust vendor team to bring the vision to life. I help with event flow, design, and logistics, ensuring the day feels seamless for both you and your guests!
Think a private venue with a catered dinner, custom decor, and an intentional celebration surrounded by your closest friends and family.
