There are so many aspects of being a wedding planner that I love. From the exciting first steps of newly engaged couples, to helping you pick the perfect wedding party gifts. All the way to walking down the aisle to your soul mate; it’s just the best job. Another thing that I love is how creative + collaborative I can be with my couples! With most of my couples, I not only plan their wedding, I also help design their weddings. And because I’ve been doing this for 6+ years, there are generally a few areas that couple’s forget about when it comes to their wedding décor. To help, I’ve created a FREE download of the wedding décor checklist that I give my couples that can be yours HERE!

This checklist will help walk you through every aspect of your wedding décor. From the moment guests arrive at the welcome table, to directing them to cocktail hour and beyond. I love building informational wedding guides to help teach all that I’ve learned so be sure to check back for more!

Hi, I'm Kari.
Wedding Planner, Podcaster, & Creative Entrepreneur.

The founder and lead planner behind Feathered Arrow Studio. Over the past 11 years, I’ve designed and executed more than 175 weddings throughout Southern California, helping couples create celebrations that feel deeply personal and beautiful.

My approach blends thoughtful design with genuine hospitality. I care deeply about how a wedding feels not just how it looks. I want every detail to be intentional and every guest to feel taken care of. Together we take your inspiration, your story, and your priorities and turn them into a celebration that feels effortless, welcoming, and unmistakably yours.

Not every couple needs full-service planning, which is why I also offer wedding consults and planning guides for those navigating the process on their own. I’m also the co-host of Just Another Biz Podcast, where we have honest conversations about the wedding industry with fellow creatives behind the scenes.
