About Me
I am Karen Tsafrir, the owner of Live Productions. Welcome to my website. Born in London, I have lived in the past, in NY & Amsterdam and have been in Israel since 1980. I share my house in Ein Sarid with two very spoilt cats. (Both my daughters live in Israel and my son and his wife live too far away in NY.)
I’m a romantic, a dreamer, a great listener, a compulsive researcher, passionate planner, kindle addict, spinning instructor, foodie, closet poet and world traveller.
I am detail oriented and will ask you loads of questions the first time we talk, so that I can really understand what your dream event is all about. And I will remain personally involved in all aspects of your event from concept to delivery, from the moment we first meet to the moment the last candle is blown out.
I like to think that I curate the days that change your lives.
So now that you know me, let's begin the journey,
Step One: Contact me
Step Two: We video chat or if you are around we meet
Step Three: It's official

About My Business
It all started in 2004, when my brother Jeremy of MUZIKA Show Band asked me to help him plan a wedding at the Tel Aviv Hilton. Jeremy, who is London based, had been asked to organise a small wedding in Tel Aviv and he roped me in to help. “Just need a florist, small band and photographers, I will come for the wedding,” he said. I had some event experience and wasn’t nervous. Two weeks before the wedding Jeremy called and said “by the way I am not coming – you will have to do the wedding by yourself.” The rest, as they say, is history.
For me the journey to your event is as important as the event itself. We have to have fun along the way. With that in mind, I am focused on your experience, on giving the most personal service and the personal touch. For me, it's all about one to one. Part of the creative process is hearing what you want from you. We understand it's the small details and the big picture that make each event unique and memorable.
We are a one stop shop for top end events for our discerning clientele who come to Israel from around the globe. We make the creation of an extraordinary event easy, curating the best vendor team for your wedding and using only Israel’s best
professionals. We coordinate all aspects of the ceremony/party, arranging accommodation, travel, tourism and developing an event that everyone will remember.
Event planning is rarely a one off for me. For years my clients have felt that if they are schlepping their guests from around the world to Israel they need to host them in the fullest way. So we put together original travel itineraries around the ceremonies and parties. This part of my business has grown so much in recent years that many of my clients ask me to organise just a mission, incentive, conferences or tour, no celebration at all. We have turned planning bespoke trips across Israel into an art.
“It's amazing what you do, what your team does and what you inspire people to do. With you nothing is impossible. That's why I wanted you with me. That's why it was the experience it was. You're the lady who makes dreams.”
