Hi, I'm Rose!

Hi, I’m Rose — your wedding planning pro and passionate advocate for unforgettable celebrations. I grew up in the heart of Solvang, surrounded by love and lace — literally. My grandparents owned a wedding venue, and my aunt was a florist, so weddings have always been a part of my world. From a young age, I learned the magic of gathering people together and creating moments that matter — and I’ve been hooked ever since.Meet me, Rose - your dedicated wedding planning guru! With an unyielding commitment to transforming your dream wedding into reality, I bring an extensive track record of seamlessly executed weddings that have left couples and guests in awe. My personalized approach ensures that every detail reflects your unique love story.

With years of experience bringing dream weddings to life, I approach every event with a personalized touch and a calm, confident presence. From our first conversation to your final dance, I’ll be right by your side — your planner, your guide, and your biggest cheerleader. I blend timeless elegance with fresh ideas, making sure every detail reflects your story, your style, and your priorities.
Whether you're envisioning an intimate backyard gathering, a romantic vineyard ceremony, or a full-blown weekend celebration, 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 getting the most out of your budget — without sacrificing quality.

Whether you envision a romantic garden affair, an opulent ballroom celebration, or a chic destination wedding, I'll curate an event that surpasses your expectations. My keen eye for design, coupled with the ability to bring your vision to life, ensures that every detail, from the floral arrangements to the table settings, contributes to a cohesive and breathtaking atmosphere. Beyond my creative flair and exceptional organizational skills, I understand the significance of budget management.

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

Planning weddings is what I love — 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 you bring your vision to life and make the planning process one you actually enjoy.

Let’s create something magical together — a celebration full of joy, heart, and moments you’ll treasure forever.
