"Your presence in the wedding industry is a breath of fresh air!"

Past couples share exactly how The Vault will transform your wedding planning journey from OVERWHELM to EASE:

“Thank you so much, you made the wedding planning so much easier and not so overwhelming, and also helped me not completely get out of control with my budget. I loved how accessible the short podcasts were, and in the end, it saved me TONS of money!”

Alyx

“I was so excited to hear my question when I listened to this week’s show - thanks so much for featuring it, and THANK YOU for being such a huge part in planning our wedding. I remember how overwhelmed it felt at first and how it didn’t feel fun at all. Total 180 now, I'm finally having fun planning. I’m SO HAPPY I stumbled upon Wedding Planning Podcast!”

Lindsay

“Your presence in the wedding industry is a breath of fresh air! ... I want to extend my thanks for your wealth of practical advice & suggestions for circumventing typical wedding industry standards. I've never desired to have a cookie-cutter wedding, and your podcast has given me so much creative insight, AND has made me feel validated in wanting to have a unique + classy wedding that doesn't entirely follow the status-quo.”

Brittany N.

“I'm doing all my wedding planning myself and I wouldn't have been able to do it without the archive of shows and the extensive content on the Vault. I recommend it to every friend as they get engaged.”

Holly S.

“I was looking for an inclusive wedding planning podcast with a host who supports my wedding as much as any other. And one who is brilliant in all things weddings!! That is my very long thank you, Kara. You make a difference in my life.”

Chris O.

“Thank you so much for these special “support” episodes you are doing during this (COVID-19) pandemic. In such a uncertain situation, knowing we’re all here to support one another is a real comfort. So a BIG THANK YOU!”

Kristina

“Having access to The VAULT is an amazing resource and covers just about everything - I highly recommend it to others!”

Hiring a FULL-SERVICE WEDDING PLANNER to walk you through the lengthy & confusing process of creating your dream wedding celebration carries a price tag in the THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS.

  • In the past, I've personally charged $100 / HOUR for wedding planning services & event consulting.

  • If we do the math using that hourly rate, the precious contents of The VAULT are worth over $7000!

  • So to share this priceless planning resource with you for just $9.99 / MONTH?

  • AND include a TOTALLY FREE, zero obligation 3-day free trial?!

  • TOTAL SCORE!!!

FAQ's

  • I signed up for the free 3-day trial but don't see the bonus shows or where to ask my wedding questions?

    The free 3-day trial is designed to give you a "sneak peek" at the look & feel of The VAULT. Premium benefits - such as the bonus episodes, question submission, mini-workshops, exclusive videos & checklists - are only available to paid subscribers, after the 3-day free trial period expires.

  • What if I have a question about my wedding that's not addressed in the digital materials?

    This is hands-down my favorite benefit of membership - you hold a *VIP PASS* to Wedding Q&A shows! Send in your unique questions any time, and I'll answer them in detail on an upcoming show.

  • How long does my subscription last?

    Membership is renewed MONTHLY, and you're free to CANCEL ANYTIME!

  • What's the difference between the free shows and the shows inside The VAULT?

    Free weekly episodes are released in no special order, contain advertisements from our valued partners, and expire after a set number of months. Shows within The VAULT are carefully organized in sequential order of planning importance, are searchable, and are available to you ON-DEMAND, 100% ad-free.

  • What's covered in the 12 BONUS SHOWS?

    I like to think of the bonus shows as virtual "meetings", where we walk through 12 major wedding planning milestones. We'll start with your engagement, and go step-by-step through your entire wedding planning journey. Taken together, these 12 bonus shows are your master wedding planning roadmap - outlining EXACTLY what to do, and when.

  • Are there any 1-on-1 meetings or calls included?

    Sadly, no. This exceptionally affordable price point allows me to help as many couples as possible, but unfortunately doesn't allow for 1-on-1 calls or meetings. As a wonderful alternative, you're welcome to submit your unique wedding questions and/or concerns anytime for Wedding Q&A shows, where I'm able to provide personalized, detailed advice in a group setting.
