Magnolia Affairs

Could not have done it without Karina

Karina and her team provided all of the support for our wedding day. We realized we only want to do this once, so Magnolia Affairs' expertise, knowledge, and planning were exactly what we needed to create our ideal wedding weekend vibes. Without feeling overly calculated, the day and events leading up to it unfolded seamlessly and allowed us to sit back and relax once decisions were made. It was a privilege to have a wedding, and Magnolia Affairs can customize their approach based on your needs while exceeding the standards of professionalism, and meeting all of our communication needs. Planning a wedding should be an enjoyable process celebrating the important things to a couple and their family, and that's exactly what our experience was with Magnolia Affairs.

Mother of the Bride

Working with Karina at Magnolia Affairs was a game-changer for our wedding planning. She responded to our questions quickly and always had thoughtful answers that showed how deeply she understood our vision. Karina's attention to detail was second to none—she thought through every element so we didn't have to worry about anything on the big day. Her calm presence and encouraging attitude made the entire planning process feel manageable and even enjoyable. Because she handled all the logistics with such precision, I was able to actually be present and soak in our wedding day instead of stressing about what might go wrong. We can't recommend Karina and Magnolia Affairs enough.

More than a wedding planner!

Karina was an absolute dream to work with from start to finish. Her communication style is easygoing, friendly, and incredibly attentive—you always feel heard, supported, and completely at ease throughout the process. Her work is exceptionally detailed and thorough, and it’s clear how much she genuinely cares about her couples and their experience. Nothing slips through the cracks, and every decision feels intentional and well thought out. One of the most impressive examples of her dedication was when we decided to move our wedding up by a full day to take advantage of a perfect blue-sky forecast. Karina truly moved heaven and earth to make it happen, handling all the logistics seamlessly and without a hint of stress on our end. It felt effortless to us, which is a testament to how hard she was working behind the scenes. Beyond her professionalism, Karina is someone we have considered a friend since shortly after hiring her. We would recommend her services to any couple without hesitation—she goes above and beyond in every possible way!

I cannot say enough great things about working with Magnolia Affairs! Karina is personable, knowledgable, and overall a joy to work with. My husband and I were among the first of our friends and family to get married, so we were deer in headlights when it came to wedding planning. Karina's experience in the industry was invaluable and made sure our Nantucket wedding was planned to perfection and went off without a hitch. She truly goes above and beyond – from dedicating hours upon hours to planning our four (!) different wedding events, to working with her handy husband to build our custom back drop for our venue, to coordinating all of our vendors with ease. We wouldn't have changed a thing about our big day and owe so much of that to Karina.

Katrina and her team were amazing. Our daughter’s Nantucket wedding presented her with a series of unexpected challenges including a groom hospitalized the week before the wedding with appendicitis, a tent challenged by 40MPH winds and even a fire alarm going off in our home just as the ceremony started( false alarm). She handled that, and everything else, with a calm, optimistic and professional spirit. She was a tremendous advisor - practical and creative at the same time. I can’t imagine having done it without her.
