About
Hi! I’m Cara, owner of Walnut Studio Events — a boutique wedding planning and coordination studio based in Omaha, Nebraska and traveling nationwide. Whether you need full-service planning from the very beginning or expert coordination in the final weeks leading up to your wedding, I help couples navigate the process with confidence and enjoy their wedding day without worrying about timelines, logistics, or vendor management. From venue selection and vendor sourcing to design guidance, timeline creation, layout planning, and day-of execution, I provide as much—or as little—support as you need. My approach is calm, organized, and hospitality-driven, ensuring every detail is thoughtfully managed and every decision feels less overwhelming. With over 10 years of experience in service, operations, and event management, I’m known for creating clear plans, solving problems before they become issues, and keeping events running smoothly behind the scenes. My goal is simple: to make the planning process easier and your wedding day feel intentional, and fully focused on celebrating. If you're looking for a planner who can bring structure, guidance, and peace of mind throughout the planning process, lets connect!

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!

Cara bartended for a 25-30 person party at our home. She did a great job and made the party much more enjoyable for us as hosts! Would certainly hire her again
