Welcome!

Ritual & Roots creates custom event plans rooted in your style, traditions, and budget. From curated picnics to full celebration planning, I design experiences that feel thoughtful, effortless, and unforgettable.

Hello! I’m Karen - a lifelong event planner with a deep love for gatherings that feel warm, personal, and beautifully intentional. After years of designing unforgettable events for family, friends, and colleagues, I launched Ritual & Roots to bring that same care and creativity to others.

I believe the best gatherings aren’t just well decorated - they are deeply considered. Ritual & Roots was born from the idea that even the smallest moments can carry weight, and that the people who show up for you want to be seen, welcomed, and honored.

While you may be the host, your event is ultimately about the people you choose to gather. I never lose sight of that. Whether it’s a neighbor who rearranged their schedule, a friend who drove hours, or a grandparent who is showing up in their Sunday best - every guest made a choice to be there. I want to make sure they never forget it.

That is why every event plan I create begins with the guest experience at its core. From the flow of the event to the tiniest details, my goal is to help you create a space where people feel cared for, included, and part of something meaningful.
