About Rose to the Occasions

Meet Rose

founder/owner

Hi, I'm Rose!

I grew up in the heart of Solvang, surrounded by love, lace, and the magic of celebration. My grandparents owned a wedding venue and my aunt was a florist, so weddings have always been my world. From a young age, I watched how gathering people together can create moments that stay with us forever — and I’ve been hooked ever since.

With years of experience bringing dream weddings to life, I approach every celebration with a personalized touch and a calm, confident presence. I blend timeless elegance with fresh, modern ideas, ensuring every detail reflects your story, your style, and your priorities. From our first conversation to your final dance, I’m right by your side — your planner, your guide, and your biggest cheerleader.
Whether you're envisioning an intimate backyard gathering, a romantic vineyard ceremony, a chic destination celebration, or a full wedding weekend, I’ll curate an experience that feels authentic, effortless, and beautifully you. I have a keen eye for design, a passion for logistics, and a commitment to making the most of your budget without sacrificing quality or aesthetic.

When I’m not knee-deep in timelines, swatches, and seating charts, you’ll find me soaking up life at home with my husband — who restores vintage locomotives (yes, it’s just as cool as it sounds) — hosting cozy dinners for friends and family, or curled up with my Frenchies, Gloria and Fiona, who are always underfoot and always keeping things interesting.

Planning weddings is my passion — not just for the beautiful details, but for the joy, connection, and storytelling at the heart of every celebration. I’d be honored to help bring your vision to life and make the planning process one you actually enjoy.

Let’s create something magical together — a celebration full of heart, intention, and unforgettable moments.
