Our Team
With over 20 years of experience in high-pressure environments, Carmen brings a level of organization, structure, and calm that ensures every wedding runs seamlessly—no matter what the day brings.
Owner / Lead Coordinator
Carmen Fleischmann
I’m a born and raised Floridian, a mother of three, and a 20-year Army veteran with a background in event planning, photography, videography, and audio/visual production.
​
I founded Carmen’s Wedding Consulting to bring that same level of structure, organization, and calm to weddings and special events. My goal is simple: to take what can feel overwhelming and turn it into a seamless, well-executed experience.
​
From our first conversation, I focus on understanding your vision and helping bring it to life with clarity and confidence. I also take pride in building a team that reflects those same values—matching each client with the right coordinator so they feel supported, comfortable, and fully taken care of throughout the process.
Senior Coordinator
Arnela Steinbach
Originally born in Germany with family roots in Bosnia, I spent most of my life growing up in Jacksonville. My background is rooted in customer service, with extensive experience in the beauty industry, where I worked closely with brides to create looks that made them feel confident and celebrated on their wedding day.
​
Whether helping a bride choose her makeup or being onsite for hair and makeup services, I’ve always been drawn to the energy behind weddings. That experience naturally led me into coordination, where I now support couples by bringing a calm, attentive presence and an eye for detail to every event.
​
My goal is to make your wedding day feel effortless, organized, and truly enjoyable—so you can focus on the moments that matter most.
Lead Planner / Creative Director
Elena Steinbach
I’m a Florida native and have called Tallahassee home since 2018. I graduated from Florida State University with a B.S. in Marketing and currently work full-time as a Marketing Coordinator for a non-profit.
​
As a full-service planner with Carmen’s Weddings, I bring a creative perspective and strong organizational skills to every event. My background in marketing helps me think through the details, while my love for music and live events—especially playing bass in a rock band—fuels my ability to create weddings that feel personal, intentional, and full of energy.
​
I’m passionate about helping couples bring their vision to life in a way that feels seamless, meaningful, and uniquely theirs.
Day-Of Coordinator
Vianca Santana
Born in New York City to proud Dominican parents, I was raised in a culture where celebration is more than an event; it’s a feeling, a legacy, and a way to bring people together. Family is at the heart of everything I do, and I carry that same warmth and care into every wedding I coordinate.
​
With a background in health administration and over 15 years of military service, I bring a calm, solutions-driven approach to even the most complex situations. I’m trained to think quickly, handle challenges, and execute with precision so your day feels seamless and stress-free. To me, it’s not just about timelines, it’s about creating an experience that reflects your love story.
​
My mission is simple: bring your vision to life exactly as you’ve imagined so you can be fully present and celebrate with the people you love most. I pour intention into every detail and treat each wedding like my own, because I know how much this day matters.
Day-Of Coordinator
Danielle Scharfenstine
Originally from North Carolina and having lived in Florida for most of my life, I am a dedicated professional with over 10 years of experience in event and wedding coordinating. As a wife and mother of two, I understand the importance of these milestones and am passionate about helping couples bring their vision to life while eliminating the stress.
I believe no two events are alike because every couple has their own unique story. My goal is to orchestrate your special day so that it feels effortless, magical, and entirely yours. With a keen eye for details, I am committed to managing every aspect of your celebration so that you can focus on the journey and the start of your happily ever after.
