Not only did wildly rooted help us on the day, but they helped us months in advance as well and ease our minds during the planning process. We were so grateful to have them there the day of to guide us through everything if you’re questioning whether or not you need a coordinator on the day of just bite the bullet and do it!! We could not recommend this company more!”

“Karla Crespo of Wildly Rooted Weddings was our partial planner and a total dream. She instantly understood our non-traditional vision and didn’t just support it—she amplified it. Smart, hilarious, innovative, and grounding when we needed it most.”

“Working with Karla was an absolute dream.

My partner and I had some unconventional ideas for our wedding — we wanted to walk each other down the aisle, host it at a diner, and make the whole event feel like one big party. Karla completely understood our vision. She never pressured us to conform to traditional wedding norms; instead, she embraced and elevated every idea we had.

She was clear, organized, efficient, and incredibly encouraging — not to mention just fun to talk to. Karla worked seamlessly with our vendors, all of whom had nothing but kind things to say about her. Our venue trusted her completely, which made our lives so much easier. We can’t recommend Karla enough.”

“The best of the best. My wife and I are newly married and, for the early stages of wedding planning, we thought we could do it on our own...until we just got too overwhelmed.

Enter Karla and Wildly Rooted who was literally sent to us from Heaven. From the first day we met Karla all the way through our wedding, she wans't just acting through her profession -- she became a family member. We trusted her with our plans and she more than delivered: she held our hands all the way through and promised us that she would protect our dreams. And because of her, our dream wedding became our perfect reality. Any future newlyweds, please take mine and my wife's words seriously: Karla and Wildly Rooted will prioritize you, and will work with you not just as a business but as a warm, embracing, and understanding human being. 5 stars truly isn't enough of a rating.”

“I got married August 2025 in the Hudson Valley and found Karla randomly on the Bride of the Hudson Valley, and I’m so glad I did!

Right off the bat Karla was personable, to the point and very experienced. Her prices are competitive but not overpriced and you are getting what you pay for 100%. I got the wedding coordination package just for the day or but Karla checked in on me everything few weeks. While I felt organized, Karla was there and readily available by text for any random question or concern I had during my planning process. She filled in the gaps for things I easily missed. My venue was completely bare meaning that I had to bring in everything from linen to catering, a large tent, ect. On the day of she was there, making sure all vendors were on track, everything was set up how I pictured and fielding questions and concerns to allow me to have a stress free day. Karla is amazing and I recommend her without hesitation!!

“We cannot say enough wonderful things about Karla.

From the very start of our planning process, she struck the perfect balance between calm guidance and keeping us on track. She was really great at holding us to our own deadlines, gently nudging us forward whenever we needed it - never stressful and always supportive.

Throughout the planning process, she brought organization, quick communication, and thoughtful problem-solving. At the Friday setup and Saturday's main event, she and her team handled everything from directing car traffic, to guiding the vendors (catering, band, bartending & oyster bar) on where they needed to be and when. We did this at our home with 160+ guests, so it was no easy feat. We truly could not have done it without her.

Because of Karla and her team, we were able to truly experience the day and be in the moment.

If you want a planner who is warm, reliable, and truly gifted at guiding you through the entire journey, hire Karla. She made it all happen for us, and we are so grateful.
