About
Hi friends! I’m Cara, owner of Walnut Studio Events — a boutique Midwest wedding planning studio based in Omaha, Nebraska. I specialize in wedding planning and coordination throughout Nebraska, Colorado, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, and surrounding states. From large-scale weddings to intimate celebrations, I focus on creating events that feel elevated, organized, and completely personal to you. With over 10 years in the service industry, I combine detailed logistics with thoughtful design to ensure your event runs smoothly from start to finish. I handle vendor communication, timeline creation, layout planning, and day-of coordination so you can stay present and actually enjoy your celebration. I work closely with trusted local vendors, from caterers and florists to rental companies and venues, to bring your vision to life. My style is calm, professional, and hospitality-driven. Whether you need full-service planning or seamless day-of coordination, I’m here to make the process stress-free and beautifully executed. Let’s create something intentional and unforgettable! Feel free to reach out with any questions or special requests.

We were hosting a funeral luncheon at Heafy/Hoffman and had no idea if we would have 100 or 200 people— Care showed up ready to work and was delightful. We had self service for Beer and Wine but she was very busy with mixed drinks - we will definitely ise her again!

Absolutely amazing! Not only is Cara professional, but she is kind, responsive, on-time, and everything we needed at our event. I absolutely recommend her for any event you may be holding. Her set up is classy, and she has the personality for the job. Book. Her.
