Awarded Best of Zola
Having a day-of coordinator was a must of mine because I get overwhelmed easily. Jazmyn was amazing from the beginning. She has great communication, asks all the right questions ( questions we never even thought of) and offers great suggestions. I probably would’ve given up on the wedding if it wasn’t for her lol. We had our caterer drop out 2 weeks before the wedding and she had a new caterer booked with the same menu and same price range in less than an hour, and the food was great. On wedding day, she was organized and made sure everyone knew where to be at what time, and had everything set up perfectly after the room flip. I don’t think I can talk her up enough.

  • Videographer

  • Starts at $2,500

Hey, my name is Jonathan; I am a Video Producer for The Kansas City Royals and a Wedding Videographer based in KC. As a wedding videographer, I get so excited every time I start shooting a new film because I can't wait to showcase the couple's personalities and make something they'll cherish forever. It's incredible how much the art of wedding films has evolved over the years. Every wedding has its own vibe and style, and I love translating that into an exciting, one-of-a-kind film the couple and their loved ones will adore.

Jonathon did an incredible job from the beginning! We booked him through Kelsey Diane Photography so our photographer and videographer knew each other well which made the day go so much smoother as they worked around each other and helped the other out. We got the video back just over two months after our wedding and loved every detail of it from the style, minimal editing and music choices and scenes he chose to use. He also worked with us very well when we had a Kansas City wedding but lived in Georgia and was always quick to respond to emails. I would highly recommend him to anyone! Amazing person.

Wild Rose Planning & Events 

5.0

  • Planner
  • Offers 4 services
  • Starts at $500
  • Serves Independence, MO

Wild Rose Planning & Events was established in 2021 by two wedding industry experts. Throughout our years in the industry, we felt there was a gap in the planning process, making it feel more like work than fun. We’re here to provide you with the experience you deserve — stress free, organized, and memorable!

Awarded Best of Zola
When my husband and I got engaged in May 2023, Wild Rose was the very first vendor I booked (I sent my inquiry the day after he proposed). As a venue owner with more than 5 years in the industry at the time, I knew that the most important, non-negotiable vendor would be our coordinator. I knew that I wanted the full planning aspect so that I could enjoy the process as a BRIDE, not from an industry or “work” perspective. Brenna and Molly had been so amazing to work with at the venue, I absolutely loved their product and knew I had to have them do my wedding. From day one they made me feel so confident in our choices, our to-do list felt like it was handled and I didn’t have to worry about a thing. They fully designed our day - stationary, florals, decor rentals, it was such a blast to have our check-in meetings on Zoom to SEE our design come together. They handled all of the vendor exchanges, including when we arrived to our venue in Costa Rica and it looked completely different than the pictures online so we ended up moving our ceremony site to our welcome party site with 24 hours to go! I’d be lying if I said I didn’t worry for a second, but I did worry - if only for a second. Truly Brenna and Molly said “we got this” and they handled it so easily. I was worried about packing two wedding dresses for international travel - Molly had me bring them and my suitcase to work and she herself packed them perfectly. When we got to Costa Rica they came to our villa to unpack and hang them safely. On my wedding day Molly steamed my veil and was actually the one to get me in my dress. They were also so incredibly understanding with everything I wanted to do to include my mother who passed away in 2021. I brought a necklace with cremation remains and they so lovingly tied it on my bouquet for me. They carried the portrait I had my now mother-in-law carry down the aisle around with them throughout the day like she was just hanging out with them. They even took the portrait back to their flat so mom was at their “after party.” Our 3 sons are the first to refer our friends and family that are wedding planning to “Miss Brenna and Molly” - they loved hanging out with them for the week we were together. Overall - I love Brenna and Molly enough to spend a year in meetings with them AND fly them to Costa Rica for a week, along with our 30 closest family and friends. Their care, attention to detail, and confidence continue to amaze me and Wild Rose will always and forever be the best thing I ever did for our wedding!

Awarded Best of Zola
If there is one piece of advice I can give to engaged couples, it’s to hire Rach and the Whatever is Lovely team. I have been trying to write this review for months now and have struggled because words can’t describe how amazing Rach is and how grateful we are to have had her plan our wedding. To start, Rach is the nicest, kindest, and most caring person you’ll ever meet. She is truly one of my favorite people. From the moment we met her she had our best interests at heart. Rach didn’t try to sell us on hiring her or on spending more money on a different package - she wanted to make sure we found the right planning fit. Rach made the planning process SO much easier. Rach sent us monthly to do’s which kept us on track. She helped us build the most wonderful team of vendors; we had the most amazing team and that is all thanks to Rach. She got to know our taste for each vendor category and sent us a few options to consider - this made the process of narrowing down vendors in a big city so much easier and less overwhelming. Rach was always so speedy to respond to our many questions and put up with all our many anxieties. I was quite the anxious bride and Rach was always there to calm my anxieties and always knew exactly what to say. She literally picked me up when I was down - literally, she helped me up when I tripped on my dress! Our wedding day was the best day of our lives. It was more than perfect. I honestly can’t take much credit for how perfect it was, because it was all because of Rach. I can’t give Rach and her team enough thanks or enough praise for making our wedding so beautiful and fun. I didn’t have to worry about anything on our wedding day. Rach and her team took care of everything. They told us where to be and when. I barely had to lift a finger because someone was there to do anything for me. We received so many compliments from our wedding party, friends, and family about how wonderful Rach was and how seamless our wedding day was. I cannot say enough good things about Rach. She is wonderful and amazing at her job. If you’re looking for a wedding planner or day of coordinator, look no further than Rach and Whatever is Lovely! I cannot recommend them enough!

The first time I met Bailey was at my engagement shoot on my farm. I’ve had plenty of sessions with family and individual photographers, so I am comfortable in front of the camera, but my future husband is not at all. Bailey gave great instruction and made us both feel relaxed during our session. Can’t wait for the wedding next year!

Welcome! I am a Kansas City Lifestyle, Portrait, and Wedding Photographer. Growing up I always had an eye for anything artistic and loved being able to share my vision of the world. I was first introduced to photography in my senior year of high school and immediately knew that is what I wanted my career to be. I continued the venture through college and graduated from UMKC with a degree in photography. A little about Noire Studios: Where does the name Noire Studios come from? I mixed my first name and last name (maiden) together - NO (from Noelle) and IRE (from Ireland). Creating a business from a few things that capture ME!

Our experience with Noire Studios was wonderful! The communication was prompt and professional from the beginning.

Venue considerations

  • Not for you if you are drawn to more unconventional venues
  • Not for you if you don't want a rustic vibe
  • No all-inclusive dining options
We had such an amazing wedding at The Oliver Building. Having the venue for the whole weekend made our weekend run so smoothly. We had our rehearsal Friday night, and brought everything over so we didn’t need to deal with it Saturday. Then got ready in the amazing upstairs suites Saturday morning. We had a great time, and Caitlin was so easy to work with! The only reason I took a star off is that we had some issues with the bar. We made it clear from the start that we wanted to prioritize the bar, and didn’t want long lines. Because of that, they said we would have 3 bartenders, and would batch some of our signature cocktails. Unfortunately, we only had two bartenders, despite giving tips for 3, and there were no cocktails batched. We did have a pretty long line at our bar most of the night because of this. All in all, it was an amazing venue for our wedding!!

Hey there! We are Butter KC- a boutique catering brand located in Kansas City Mo. We specialize in grazing tables, small bites, and custom menus. Our boutique catering style means every event is unique. We LOVE listening to client ideas and making their food experiences come to life. Whether it’s the wedding of your dreams, a garden bridal shower, or a food festival for 2,000+ we have you covered!

The entire experience with Olive Co was top notch! We contacted Olivia a few months back and were able to snag them up to do our wedding reception. They delivered! I was blown away and so were my guests. It was everything we could of ever hoped for! I also have to say the communication was far beyond anything my other vendors provided. Olivia said she would be available anytime and my 11pm and sometimes 1 am texts always got responded to. She was on it, and I love her for giving me peace of mind. Not only did the food rock BUT I opted to do our own plates (I had a vision) and forgot them at the airbnb 40 minutes away from our venue. Olivia got in her emergency bag and saved the day! She also helped out other vendors on site who were late! I just can't say enough good things and can't wait to use Olive Co at our next event. Thank you Olivia Sherri for making our weddding a dream come true.
