I can not say enough great things about Megan at The Wedding Authority. We were lucky enough to get her as the day of coordinator for my mom's later in life wedding. Megan is a ROCKSTAR! She was so on top of things and listened to all of my mom's ideas. Her knowledge and assistance with vendors that were in my moms budget...truly incredible, and we found our vendors because of Megan! She created an amazing timeline, She was so communicative, and kept things moving along. Did I mention how sweet she is? The nicest, kindest, and so caring. She did everything she could to make sure my mom's day was perfect. I was sad to say goodbye to her after months of communication! If you need an amazing coordinator, look no further than The Wedding Authority!

Megan is amazing! We had the pleasure of working with Megan as our day-of coordinator for our wedding and I cannot sing her praises enough! Her attention to detail, forethought, and level of organization blew us all away, including my other vendors! They all were impressed with the detailed schedule she prepared and the level of communication she had with them. I truly appreciated this because this allowed us to relax and focus on other things, while she kept things flowing. She really helped us out by also allowing us to drop off decor items to her ahead of the big day, so we could travel to the venue lighter. She was so friendly, personable, helpful, everything one could ask for in a planner! Absolutely no complaints! Very grateful to have had her!

any details about our big day. Even though she was just a "day of coordinator" we had constant communication since the moment we signed the contract with The Wedding Authority. Megan sent us monthly checklists to make sure we were on track with everything and she was so responsive, answering any question we had. Megan made sure the entire weekend went smoothly, from the rehearsal to the big day. Megan was such a calming and positive presence through the entire process. She even sent us an email right after our wedding with another checklist to make sure we didn't forget to do anything (like freeze the top layer of cake and get my dress cleaned). We can't thank Megan enough for all she did for us!

Antonia H

We are beyond grateful for everything Karli did to make our wedding day unforgettable. Her dedication, organization, and attention to every detail ensured that our wedding went off...

without a hitch. From the very beginning, she was there for us, handling every aspect of planning with such care and professionalism, allowing us to focus on enjoying our day. On our wedding day, Karli was the calm in the storm, making sure every detail was perfect and every transition was seamless. Thanks to her, we were able to be fully present with our loved ones, creating memories without the stress of logistics. We genuinely could not have done it without her, and we will always be thankful for her hard work and dedication. If you’re looking for someone who is both warm and professional, with an incredible talent for bringing dream weddings to life, look no further than Karli.

We had Megan J as our Day of Coordinator; though that title is deceiving because she helped us with so much more than just the one day. Megan was the best coordinator we could have...

asked for. She sent us checklists and was available for questions and assistance for months leading up to our wedding. She made sure our wedding day and rehearsal went smoothly and handled all coordination with vendors, timeline creation, etc. Her professionalism, organization, and attention to detail was second to none. She always maintained such a kind positive attitude and a calm demeanor - which was so appreciated given that wedding planning and execution is stressful. We are so thankful for Megan. She brought an assistant on our wedding day named Bri who was also wonderful.

Thanks to Megan we had a stress free wedding day. Megan did everything for us that day - she made sure we had our marriage license and had it filled out properly, she setup everyth...

ing for us including yard games and video games on the mezzanine. She greeted all of our vendors and made sure they received their gratuity envelopes. She made sure everyone was ready for photos at the appropriate time. She setup a beautiful first reveal for my husband and me on the staircase which provided amazing photos for us. She helped all of our guests with anything they needed - she even helped with wardrobe malfunctions by taping together shoes and safety pinning dresses. She made sure to get appetizers and drinks for my husband and me to eat between cocktail hour and dinner so that way we had a moment to ourselves. She made sure to box up food for us when we left and had all of our items we brought consolidated in one place so we could just load up the car at the end of the night. Throughout the whole wedding process she provided checklists and checked in on us to help with anything she could. We highly recommend wedding authority for a completely stress free wedding day so you can just enjoy time with your partner, family and friends.

e so happy we went with them. We had Karli as our planner, and she was absolutely wonderful. As a crazy planner bride, Karli answered all of my messages, emails, and took the time to facetime me before the wedding. The day before and day of the wedding, Karli went above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly and her team helped us break everything down, including packing up our cars. We also went with their Tuxedo/Suit rental at the Lightner museum and they were just as amazing to work with. We had a missing button the day of the wedding, Coogan ran back to the shop and had a new vest ready to go for our groomsman. I highly recommend the wedding authority and their Tuxedo Rental shop, it was a pleasure to work with their team.

Devon W

Karli was an absolute gem to work with. Super professional, kind, and on top of everything we needed. From the first day working with her, Karli's attention to detail, timeliness, ...

and enthusiasm/wide range of knowledge for what she does shone through to us. She was an amazing coordinator for our wedding, and thought of things we forgot to! On the day of the wedding, she was ready for any challenges that arose, and handled them with ease. Definitely book Karli if you're having a wedding in St. Augustine - you won't regret it!

Abby S

ated between all my vendors and made sure our wedding went off without a hitch! Even my parents and bridesmaids noticed and commented on just how incredible Karli was on the big day, without knowing all the hard work she had put in for months prior! I was as unsure about whether I would even need a wedding coordinator, but it was the absolute best decision and I have recommended Karli to all my engaged friends and family! Thank you, thank you, thank you Karli, I would’ve been a stressed wreck without you!

Leana J

Megan with The Wedding Authority was absolutely amazing!! As a bride, I felt so comfortable knowing she was able to handle any situation. I was confident that the day was going to ...

go smoothly knowing she was involved. It ended up being the most amazing wedding I could've dreamed of! HIGHLY recommend The Wedding Authority!

Taylor R

Could not have asked for a better Wedding Coordinator!!! Karli was fantastic and super responsive! She took away a ton of the Wedding Day stress and seamlessly handled logistics wi...

th the venue and other vendors. She also brought several items such as seating numbers, cake stand, frames, and an easel that are really easy to forget about when planning a wedding. I was very comfortable working with her and she was incredibly friendly and patient with all of our wedding guests. I would absolutely recommend her for anyone getting married in St Augustine.

made things happen even for last minute changes! Megan makes sure everything happens on time and running smoothly. She is the sweetest person and always willing to help no matter what. She was very easy to communicate with and very professional, making the planning run smoothly. Thank you Megan, you deserve more than 5 stars!

Kelly G

We were lucky enough to work with Karli at The Wedding Authority and I don't think we would have had the wedding we dreamed of without her!! She truly went above and beyond and was...

there for us for EVERYTHING no matter how big or small. With us not being local to St. Augustine, having Karli was even more valuable as she was able to provide recommendations that fit our budget right off the bat for vendors in the area. Karli coordinated reaching out to vendors, communicating with them, contracts, and everything in between, which took a lot of the planning stress off of us. On our wedding day, Karli helped me (the bride) with everything from checking in to see how I was doing to helping me bustle my dress to even taking photos for us and sending them the day after so we could have even more memories from our special day. Another really awesome part of working with The Wedding Authority was that they had decor items/easels that we could borrow for our wedding day, and I didn't need to go out and buy those extra things :) Thank you truly SO much Karli and The Wedding Authority for making our day so special. Go with The Wedding Authority and you will not be disappointed on your special day!!

Michelle R

Karli was absolutely amazing! She & Natasha coordinated our day so well. I know our wedding wouldn’t have gone as smoothly as it did without her. Thank you so much!

Sara C

Karli was absolutely amazing!! She paid so much attention to detail and was invaluable the day of the wedding. Thank you so much for making our special day perfect <3

Kelsey S

We got to work with Karli at the Wedding Authority for our wedding at the Lightner Museum in St. Augustine. She was an absolute pleasure to work with, and I honestly wish I got to ...

work with her a little longer because she was such a joy to be around. My situation was a little odd because I was in Japan during the first 6 months of the planning process, yet Karli was extremely flexible and helpful despite being in completely opposite time zones. In regards to working with the Lightner staff, she and Genevieve were an unstoppable pair, and they both kept my wedding running smoothly. I cannot praise or recommend Karli and The Wedding Authority enough.

Brittany V

Megan was our planner for our wedding and she knocked it out of the park! Megan was the absolute sweetest, thorough and was ready to take anything on. She was always a couple steps...

ahead of me which was great during a stressful time. She shared her experience from other weddings to help make sure we had a beautiful and fun wedding. Our wedding day was perfect and it wouldn't have been without Megan! We also hired our officiant from TWA, and rented our suits through them as well. Everyone in the office is the sweetest and the fact its a family run business makes it that much better. We can't say thank you enough to Megan and all of the staff at TWA !

Eric J

Karli is an absolute rockstar! Our day could not have been the amazing day it was without her. She is super prepared and really goes above and beyond. She made everything so easy!!...

not hire a wedding planner and Megan would send me "monthly checklists" so that I stayed on track and helped answer any questions I had in the planning process/vendor recommendations. She met with us about a month before to go through the final walk through at the venue and ensured everything ran smoothly on the day of! She made sure all vendors were there and were providing the services listed in our contracts, ensured all decor was properly placed and overall just made the day amazing! MEGAN IS A ROCKSTAR!!!

ul with the way she would make suggestions and always made sure we were happy. Our rehearsal and wedding day were so smooth with her by our side. I would recommend Karli to everyone, with my eyes closed! She was sweet and patient with our family at rehearsal, she was ultra organized with the timeline on wedding day, and she let us enjoy our day completely. Not once did she bother us on wedding day. She made decisions that were in our best interest and was so calm, cool and collected that it gave everyone peace of mind. Karli- we truly can’t thank you enough for the incredible help on our special day. Without you so many of my wedding day dreams wouldn’t have come to reality. Your kindness was so infectious and you really listed to us and made sure our day was special. Thank you soooo much!!! - Sincerely, The Bernals

I cannot recommend The Wedding Authority enough! I got married the weekend that Hurricane Ian hit Florida (October 1st). To say that it was stressful was an understatement as most ...

of our guests were traveling in for the wedding. Karli kept in constant contact with me and make me feel so calm and at ease. She kept in contact with all our vendors and made the day incredibly smooth! Even in the wedding prep stages, she would reach out to vendors for me and offered to meet with the vendors in person since I live about 3 hours away from St. Augustine. Did I mention that we just hired her to be our day of coordinator? She went above and beyond to make our day special and we will never forget it.

Skylar S

Karli was absolutely amazing! I wish I had located her sooner to help with more of my planning as every aspect that she was involved with was with complete ease! Karli, out of al...

l of our vendors, was worth every penny…honestly more! I primarily did day of planning with her as I already had so many of the vendors selected and researched. My only regret is that I should have picked her brain for more things that I likely would miss or choose poorly haha (Would have helped if I hired her for more and sooner for sure!) Karli was amazing, book her early for a more inclusive package and I know she will not disappoint! If I could do it again, Karli would be my first selection from my vendor list hands down!

cation is spot on. From the moment we booked she started sending us monthly checklists to make sure we had all our needed vendors and were on track through the whole planning process. Month of she reached out to our vendors to make sure they new the timeline to make setup/breakdown easy. Day of Karli made sure everything went so smooth, we literally didn't have a single thing go awry our entire wedding. We are so grateful for Karli and The Wedding Authority!

Rose L

I cannot say thank you enough to the wedding authority team for my dream wedding. Karli was the most amazing coordinator to work with. She made every decision stress-free for me wh...

en I had a million things to think about. She even made the most beautiful table assignment board for our guests. On our wedding day it had decided to rain and so we kept having to go back and forth on how we would have the ceremony. Luckily the rain let up just in time but Karli made sure everything ran smoothly and made the adjustments to work around the rain. This continued to our reception where she made sure the entire night went smoothly. If you need a coordinator, she is the best! I also want to say thank you to Coogan who worked with us not only on the guys suits but also stepped in for our rehearsal. He made the setup for the guys to get ready so much fun! Finally, our ceremony would not have been the same without Rev. Bill. He was sent straight from God to us for the wedding and made our ceremony so intimate and emotional. We will forever have those memories. He even went so far as to give us a ride to our reception because of the rain! Words cannot even describe how much we appreciated this entire team of people to make our day so special.

Calyn L

I cannot say enough good things about my wedding planner Karli! She was truly a godsend and helped my husband and I so much throughout the whole process. Each month she would check...

in and remind us of what was needed that month. She would also reach out to our vendors whenever we had unanswered questions. She even went out her way to provide us with her own table numbers! I have no doubt our day would not have ran so smooth without her help. I hope every bride has someone on their side like I did. Her services are simply unmatched.

Emma C

Karli was the absolute best!! She was initially just our Day of Coordinator, as we were not planning on hiring a Wedding Planner. Shortly into the process, we realized we needed an...

extra hand and we upgraded Karli's services. She was so organized - sending us emails several times a week as well as monthly checklists so we knew what we needed to focus on. She brought up questions and topics that we would have never even considered without having a planner, that helped our day come together beautifully. The day of the wedding, she executed every detail we discussed to perfection and the event could not have gone smoother. Highly recommend using Karli and The Wedding Authority for all your wedding planning needs!

I can not say enough good things about the Wedding Authority. Karli was our wedding coordinator and absolutely INCREDIBLE! She is everything you would ever want in a coordinator....

From our first meeting over the phone, she was knowledgeable, friendly, organized, and provided much assurance. She was always on top of every part of the planning including monthly reminders, check ins, and vendor follow ups. She was always available to help work through all the fine details regardless of the day of the week or time of day. She made us feel like we were her number one priority and only couple (despite that being far from the truth) We planned the wedding from across the country and could not have done it without her. She offered her candid advice on every vendor and was very flexible to work well within our budget and limited travels to the venue. Her flexibility was even more apparent on the day of the wedding: she kept things running smooth, on time, all while accommodating lat minute requests. Would 1000x choose the Wedding Authority again and again. Thank you thank you thank you for making this the best day ever!

rocess. Karli helped us out by doing our final walk-through via FaceTime!

Shelly C

We got married at the Treasury on the Plaza and we hired one of their preferred vendors for day of coordinating. Hiring the Wedding Authority was the best decision I could of made....

I do not live in St. Augustine so I really relied on her for vendor recommendations. She gave me plenty of recommendations, checklists, and was able to answer any questions I had along the way. I really do not know what I would have done without Karli. Not only was she helping me along the way, I had to postpone by wedding from May 8, 2020 to January 29, 2021 due to covid and she was so kind and understanding. The Wedding Authority did not give me any problems about rescheduling and really were just overall professional. Karli even had her husband help out and pick up and drop off my dog so she could be in the ceremony and for pictures when my original plan fell through. I did not have to lift a finger on my wedding day. It was so beautiful and everything ran so smoothly. We also had Rev. Bill Young officiate our wedding ceremony and he did such a great job as well. He is so warm hearted and kind. Every experience I had with the Wedding Authority was a positive one. With all the stress of wedding planning during a pandemic, it was really wonderful to have someone confirm and go over timelines with vendors so I could focus on little details and arrangements. I would highly recommend them!

Audrey B

The Wedding Authority was one of the best investments of our wedding. If you select the team to assist in the planning process you will not be disappointed. We had the pleasure of ...

working with Karli and she was EXCEPTIONAL!! She made the planning process seamless. I loved that she gave honest and heartfelt opinions even on very small details. She took a lot of care in following up with every single detail and question that we had and some of them I forgot along the way, but she always remembered to follow-up. She sent checklists and follow-ups at appropriate and helpful times and never ONCE made us feel rushed or uncomfortable during the process. I know she juggles a lot of tasks and we never could tell since she always had 100% focus on us when we were with her during the planning process and wedding day. She was always pleasant and patient, but over all an absolute joy to work with. If you are looking for someone who will make you wedding planning process a joy, you will not be disappointed with the Wedding Authority. This is especially important during the uncertain times that we are in. They are down to earth and genuinely love what they do! You will have selected the best!!

e was on top of all of our to do's, and was so organized, we knew we could trust her. She was quick to respond when we needed something or had a question, always had good references for vendors, and was so professional and sweet. I was never stressed the day of, Karli had it completely under control, I was able to just relax and enjoy our dream wedding. Bill was the perfect officiant! The first time we meet with him we felt like we knew him for years, he worked with us to tailor the ceremony just for us and it was wonderful, and Carla was just the cherry on top. So blessed to have worked with the Wedding Authority!
