Karen: I specialize in custom candy buffets! Whether it's for a wedding, wedding shower, bachelorette party or any other occasion, I work to bring your candy buffet visions to life. Candy buffets are such a nice, sweet touch to any wedding and is super affordable. Everyone can get their own dose of sugar. Also, if you plan on having kids at your event, candy buffets are a nice distraction. I always say that the candy buffet is awesome for a parent bringing a kid to a wedding because after their sugar high, they usually crash when they get home..haha!

HBD: Omg, that is too funny and so accurate! Why are you participating in Her Big Day: A Cultural Wedding Affair? 

Karen: I think it's great to showcase a sweets option for brides. The cool thing about candy is that it reaches across all cultures. All of your guests can enjoy it!

HBD: What do you find clients always say they love about working with you? 

Karen: Most of my clients are in disbelief on what all I offer. They can't believe how hands off they can be. I provide everything from the rental of the jars, scoops/tongs, to the table cloth, table(s), candy, decorative pieces, set up and tear down, and the list goes on. All they have to do is show up! For more reviews, please check them out via Thumbtack!

HBD: Your reviews are great! What are common misconceptions about candy buffets?

Karen: Great question! A lot of people think that they can do their candy buffet on their own. More often than not, they find out how time consuming it is and it usually doesn't turn out quite how they envisioned. Budgeting to have it professionally done is definitely the way to go as it is one less thing to stress about on your big day!
