Beige & Sage Wedding Planner NJ

hello there :)

Hi, I'm Karen! I'm the founder and lead planner behind Beige & Sage.

With a background in business operations, event coordination, and organization, I've always had a passion for bringing people, ideas, and details together. I love the creativity that comes with wedding planning just as much as the behind-the-scenes work that makes everything run smoothly.

As a bilingual English and Spanish-speaking planner, I take pride in creating an inclusive, personalized experience for every couple I work with.

I'm detail-oriented, organized, and dedicated to making sure every celebration feels effortless, meaningful, and true to the couple. From managing vendors and timelines to handling the unexpected, my goal is simple: to make sure you can be fully present and enjoy your special day.

I can't wait to be part of your celebration!

Born in Peru, I moved to the United States with my family when I was just ten years old. Growing up between two cultures taught me the importance of hard work, adaptability, and meaningful connections — values that continue to shape both my personal and professional life.

My creative side began at Bergen Tech High School, where I studied Graphic Design, and continued to grow throughout the years. I later graduated from Rutgers University with a Bachelor's degree in Criminal Justice and Spanish, combining my love for learning, communication, and helping others.

Professionally, I've worn many hats! From administrative and executive support to business operations and event planning, my career has given me the opportunity to work with incredible people, navigate challenges, and develop a genuine appreciation for organization, creativity, and attention to detail. Eventually, I found a way to bring all those passions together through Beige & Sage.

Beyond event planning, I'm also a certified English–Spanish translator, notary public, and wedding officiant. Outside of work, you'll usually find me working on a home improvement project, decorating a space, or finding something new to create. I love working with my hands and turning ideas into something beautiful.

Above all, I'm someone who values family, meaningful relationships, and the little moments that make life special. My fiancé, family, friends, and my cat, Iker, are a huge part of my world and the inspiration behind everything I do.

I'm a firm believer that life is about creating memories, celebrating milestones, and making the most of every opportunity. I'm grateful to have built a career that allows me to help others do just that.
