Karley Joan Weddings
Central Oregon Wedding Planner & Coordinator
Mission
My mission is to plan and coordinate weddings that transcend expectations, weaving dreams into reality with meticulous planning, creativity, and a touch of magic.
Like all wedding planners, I want to take the stress of planning off your plate. On the wedding day, it is your JOB to relax, enjoy the day, and arrive to your wedding with your closest family and friends, ready to commit to your love. On the flip side, MY job on your wedding day is to bring all the pieces together and to coordinate the show behind the scenes.
I love working with all couples, especially those who prioritize organic flows, laughter throughout the process, and trust in each other.
I am here to curate a unique and personalized wedding for you; a wedding that reflects who YOU are as a couple, whether that means we follow the trends or make it wildly unique.
By the time your wedding day rolls around, I want you to have full faith that I got this.
My commitment is to you and your vision. Always.

Karley is an extraordinary wedding coordinator, and we're forever grateful for her exceptional skills and dedication to making our day perfect. 10/10 recommend!”

“Karley was the planner for a wedding in June ‘23 where I created the floral designs. She was incredibly organized & helpful throughout the entire process. From start to finish, Karley made sure every vendor was informed & cared for. Thank you Karley for making the wedding industry in Bend a great place to be!”

“Just hire her already, ok? Did you hear me?? JUST DO IT. Karley is incredible and the single most valuable thing I purchased for my wedding. I would give her 10 stars if Google would let me.
We hired Karley as our day of coordinator. Not only did she help us get organized in the weeks leading up to the wedding, but she took care of EVERYTHING day of. As the bride, I didn't have to do anything, from coordinating with vendors & setting up decor to keeping everyone on time. She even coordinated the clean up at the end of the night (like, are you kidding me?!)
As the bride, I actually got to enjoy the day stress-free. I got to spend valuable time with my family & friends without worrying about the little things because I knew Karley had it handled. Can you really put a price on that?! No, the answer is no you can't. If you are on the fence about hiring a coordinator, my piece of advice is to just do it. After spending months planning your big day, you really want to be able to enjoy it and it's a small investment to pay for an stress-free day. And as far as coordinators go, you can't find a better one than Karley. She's a true gem :)”
Erin Bergmann, 2023 Bride
“There is not enough space on Google to properly express how much I recommend Karley as a wedding planner, coordinator, event planner, or human!!!!!! Karley is SO talented at what she does, and truly is the best in the business. We feel so lucky to have been able to work with her and have her plan our wedding. My family and I truly CANNOT RECOMMEND HER ENOUGH!!! She is so talented, professional, experienced, organized, diligent, has such a great fine attention to detail, is well connected and well respected in the industry, she is kind, hilarious, compassionate and so FUN to work with, we consider her a great friend after our experience with her.
We hired Karley as a full time planner for our large 200+ person wedding and she FAR exceeded our expectations in every way. We had a complicated wedding, with many moving parts, the ceremony was in a different location than the reception, our ceremony location did not have cell phone service and was very bare bones, etc etc. There were so many moving parts and our requests were sometimes complicated and a lot to ask. Karley successfully facilitated every single detail of our wedding day and weekend perfectly, and truly made everything BETTER than we planned for. There were a few unexpected bumps in the road during the week of the wedding, and Karley handled them all quickly herself and we never felt an ounce of stress.
Her entire wedding planning process, organizational skills, timeline management, vendor management skills, her connections in the Oregon and greater PNW wedding industry, her many years of experience in the events and wedding industry set her apart from other event planners in the industry. She walked us through everything for the 8 months prior to our wedding and kept us on a timeline, and handled everything so beautifully. We couldn't have done it without her!!
She was incredibly professional, and made pulling off our large and multi-faceted wedding even look easy and simple. She is incredibly talented and has so much experience. We feel so lucky we got to work with her.
I cannot say enough good things about her and urge anyone considering working with Karley to book her quick!! We love you, Karley!!!”
