Events by Rose 

5.0

  • Offers 6 services
  • Starts at $300
  • Serves Rising Sun, MD

It is my joy and privilege to serve couples by transforming their dreams into a celebration that will be remembered for a lifetime. With a commitment to intentionality, every detail is carefully curated to reflect your unique love story. Thoughtfulness is at the heart of our approach, ensuring that every element resonates with meaning and significance. It's our promise to prioritize your vision and desires throughout the entire planning process.

Sarah and the rest of the Events by Rose team were the MVPs of our wedding planning process. From the start Sarah took time to get to know us as a couple, to ensure our wedding day reflected who we are. Sarah was always 10 steps ahead, thinking about every little detail of our special day. Her organization was extremely impressive to see first hand. Even the vendors we spoke with face-to-face raved about her organization, professionalism, and how easy it is to work with her. I think it speaks volumes that everyone she interacts with (clients and vendors alike) love to work with her. She is outstanding at balancing all the moving parts of a wedding with ease, and always made sure we felt comfortable with every step of the process. Sarah always took the time to help us finetune even the smallest of details, making sure the day would include everything we wanted. So many of our friends have said the wedding process was one of the most stressful times in their lives, but we did not have that experience at all and this is hugely attributed to Sarah and her team. The experience was enjoyable and exciting, and we never once found ourselves overwhelmed. We would have never been able to make it to our wedding day while still having fun, if we didn’t have Sarah leading our team. On the day of our wedding, Sarah and her team were OUTSTANDING! We felt cared for by each member of the team and our guests felt the entire day flowed perfectly, all thanks to Sarah. Every small detail was planned out and went exactly as planned. Sarah went above and beyond, making sure we had everything we needed, all while managing our vendors and guests. If you are wondering if you should hire Events by Rose for your wedding the answer is absolutely yes! Thanks again Sarah and the Events by Rose team for everything you did, we literally could not have done it without you. You helped make our perfect wedding day a reality!

Maddie did an amazing job for our wedding. She was great to work with and made our day stress free and run smoothly. She is organized and her templates helped simplify the planning process for us. We worked with her in the months leading up to the big day, and she provided great vendor recommendations that set us up for success. I was concerned I was going to be worried and stressed about setting up the venue and the overall timeline for the day but Maddie had it all under control. She also was great at checking in with us throughout the evening to make sure that the bride and groom and our families were doing well and if we didn’t have any questions or concerns.

Brooke and her team were an exceptional addition to a recent wedding I photographed. Their pre-wedding communication and timeline planning was clear and helpful, the day was organized down to the last detail, and it was obvious they were a critical part of executing the bride's vision for her perfect backyard wedding. I saw members of Brooke's team go above and beyond at least once during the day - team member Dana joined us at the Church and assisted with formal portraits just because the bride mentioned she'd feel more comfortable with a planner present. Dana helped keep some tricky portions of the day on track in manner that was warm, positive, and motivating (admittedly a tough balance to strike when dealing with a large and exuberant wedding party.) I would recommend them to anyone looking to pass off their wedding planning headaches to a team of true professionals!

We could not have asked for a better day-of coordination team than Kat and her incredible crew from Evviva Studio. From start to finish, they were an absolute dream to work with! Even before the official three-month coordination package started, they were wonderfully open and responsive over email, welcoming any questions we had. Once our planning calls started, Kat’s dedication to understanding what we wanted really stood out to us; she took the time to learn about our VIP guests and went the extra mile to ensure our families were looked after and comfortable on the day too. She asked many thoughtful questions that helped us through the decision making process. On the day itself, Kat, Katie, and Meg were total pros. Kat kept us on track like a true expert, even sewing a button back onto my dress at the last moment! She also made sure we always had food and drinks, allowing us to stay fully in the moment. Their organization, warmth, and attention to detail were exceptional—no detail was too small, and no request was too big. Evviva Studio went above and beyond in every way.

Sarah was an invaluable resource to us both during our wedding weekend and throughout our planning process. She helped develop our aesthetic and style choices as well as speed up our planning process by recommending vendors within our price range (she helped us find our DJ, who was awesome).

Whether you’re looking for full-service planning or just need assistance with specific aspects, we provide multiple packages and a la carte options to fit your needs. You dream it, we create it.

From start to finish working with Avenue Design Studio was a fantastic experience! I had an initial call with Chad and based on that I knew they were professionals who could bring my vision to life through floral design and day of coordination. Then they continued to provide clear and open communication throughout the planning process and were able to make suggestions as needed to advance my vision. The week of the wedding I was in contact with Morgan who would be our official day of coordinator. Morgan ended up saving the day when our bartender cancelled on us last minute; she stepped in and bartended on top of coordinating. Then she was able to work with me to donate our flowers to a women’s shelter; a cause that hits close to home for me. I cannot recommend Avenue Design Studio enough!!

Awarded Best of Zola
My wife and I had a 5 star experience with Grace & Glory Weddings and Events. And that's because Victoria single handedly made our wedding happen despite all of the challenges that we, and the world, threw at her. We were originally looking for just a day-of coordinator, but it was clear after our first meeting that we needed a wedding planner. Victoria had everything we were looking for - most importantly, being a stern leader and knowing what needs to be done, without adding any extra stress leading up to, and on the day of the wedding. From the get-go, she had great advice about how to pull a wedding together, despite our lack of a vision for the details. Victoria took the lead, providing checklists to help keep us on schedule with all of the minor and major details, and taking the few ideas we had and forming them into a full vision for our wedding. She was fantastic at getting our input to make sure the wedding day reflected us. When the pandemic caused us to delay our wedding and change the venue entirely, Victoria took these massive changes in stride and blew away all of our expectations. She was on top of every detail and took care of all of the vendor coordination. She navigated the unknown caused by the pandemic with ease, and provided a calm voice with concrete steps of how to move forward. She made re-planning our new wedding day a breeze. I can't even fathom what we would have done without her. Our wedding day was better and more beautiful than we ever could have imagined thanks to Victoria’s help. She went above and beyond our expectations, and ensured everything went according to plan. We highly recommend working with Grace & Glory Weddings and Events for the least-stress wedding experience possible!

We found her when she was starting as a day-of wedding planner, and despite initial nerves, we decided to trust her – and we're so glad we did. Alisha was not just professional but went above and beyond with her attention to detail and genuine care. Our wedding plans shifted from Cozumel, Mexico, to San Juan, Puerto Rico, due to COVID-19, but Alisha handled it all seamlessly. She kept us calm and ensured everything ran perfectly on our big day. Alisha's proactive and dedicated approach made a huge difference. She managed everything from scheduling to booking vendors, and her collaboration with other vendors was spot-on. We're incredibly thankful for her role in making our wedding a success.

  • Serves Rising Sun, MD

An experienced and award-winning wedding planner/coordinator in Baltimore, Maryland, RCC Weddings & Events prides itself on transforming visions into realities. Owned by certified wedding planner Renee Coshin Coolbaugh, the company’s organizational skills are perfect for newly engaged couples or couples who have been planning for some time. Crafting memorable celebrations, RCC Weddings & Events strives to exceed your wedding day expectations!

Renee is THE wedding planner - look no further!! From the jump, she took us under her wing and answered any and all questions we had, was extremely attentive, and made us feel comfortable and prepared. Having planned too many weddings to count, she really knows the industry and all the ins and outs of planning a wedding. She met with us multiple times leading up to the wedding, and always came prepared with outlines, itineraries, and details that we would have never thought of! She also is the sweetest and so easy to get along with. Truly felt like we had known her for years. With regards to communication, she was extremely responsive, and always kept us in the loop. As we got closer to the wedding, and things inevitably became more hectic, vendors would email us questions and before I could even think of a response, Renee had already replied and had the situation handled. I can’t tell you the amount of ease and stress relief Renee brought us. The weekend of the wedding, my husband and I didn’t have to worry about a thing. Her team was quick and efficient and got things done. Our ceremony and reception set up was done exactly the way we had described and even exceeded expectations when we told her to use her creative liberties! I am the type to stress about details and worry about things running smoothly, but on our wedding day, I didn’t think twice about anything but enjoying the day. We knew Renee had it handled. If I thought of something last minute to bring up to Renee she would immediately say with ease, “we have it handled, don’t worry about a thing!!” I can’t emphasize how much that meant to us. My biggest advice to anyone planning a wedding would be to book a wedding planner and to get RENEE!!!! We will forever look back on our wedding knowing we, and everyone at our wedding, fully enjoyed every second and were not swept up in day-of tasks and duties. No one was stressed or worried about getting something done. People got to relax, party, and just enjoy themselves, because Renee had it handled.

Carolina Hatton combines her creative gifting with innovative resourcefulness, allowing her to capture a creative vision and turn it into a reality. With over 25 years of design and decorating experience and nearly 15 years of wedding experience, Carolina never fails to exceed her client's expectations. Her warm friendliness and great communication skills make her a pleasure to work with. Carolina and her network of vendors work together to bring innovative event ideas to life.

The absolute best decision I made throughout my entire wedding planning process was hiring Carolina Hatton to help coordinate for our wedding day. I cannot imagine a more organized, thoughtful, and professional planner than Carolina! Carolina and her team went above and beyond from the moment we first spoke through even after our wedding day was over. Not only did she think of every small detail to help our day go smoothly, but her vendor recommendations and connections actually helped us save some money. Carolina worked with all of our vendors to create a foolproof timeline that allowed us to be able to relax, focus on each other, and enjoy our day with friends and family. Wedding planning can be overwhelming sometimes, but Carolina helped us make sure we were asking all the right questions at the right time. I learned later that there actually was an issue with a different vendor the day-of, however, Carolina immediately discussed with my mom and took care of business to solve the problem while ensuring I wasn’t worried about anything on my wedding day. Her team is able to execute difficult tasks at the drop of a hat. I ended up needing a quick bio break right before walking down the aisle, and her team was able to quickly and seamlessly block off a route for me to shuffle to the church bathroom in my huge gown without being seen before the ceremony. On top of all of this - Carolina is such a kind person! Her warm presence and professional demeanor made working with her even more delightful. I highly recommend working with Carolina - you will be in the most knowledgeable and capable hands!!

Our experienced team takes the time to understand your essence and energy as a couple, forming meaningful connections that reveal who you are, how you live, and how you love. With this deep understanding, we design stunning wedding experiences that are vivid, personal reflections of your lifestyle, taste, and journey together. The result is a wedding you will cherish for a lifetime, a beautiful celebration that is unmistakably and uniquely yours.

Words cannot define the worth and joy it was to have Kawania and her team be a part of my wedding day. She was a constant advocate for our needs and budget throughout the process, being realistic at every turn. What I know now is that what you get with Kawania is experience and know-how of the industry. She has planned several weddings and events before and knows how to troubleshoot mishaps that may happen on the wedding day in real time. She understands that the day of the event is a special moment for everyone involved and she knows not to bring stress to the wedding party and to allow them to live in the moment. At subsequent weddings, I have felt that my friends needed this approach with their planners on their wedding day/weekend. I, being their guest or in their bridal party felt the disorganization that their planners or self-planning brought. This was not the case with Kawania. We had glowing comments about our wedding day for even a year after and how it was not just a ceremony but a day of entertainment. She is an excellent communicator. We had regular meetings throughout the year, about once a week. I have seen my friends have wedding planners who do not get back to them for several days after they have a question about their wedding. Kawania brought my vendors to me instead of me having to look for vendors on my own and when one did not work she always had another one that could take the place. She set up meetings with me and my vendors one-on-one and reviewed all of our vendor contracts to make sure that we were getting a fair contract and that expectations for the vendor and for us were both reasonable and what we were looking for. Being a very busy working professional I appreciated that Kawania went above and beyond to make sure that I stayed on the schedule and was extremely patient when there were moments when I could not. I value how she brought my vision to life and had such great attention to small details that my day was exceptional. I have seen my guests feature elements of my wedding at their subsequent events and it speaks to how she was able to set the bar high for what a classy and unique event should be. Far beyond a wedding planner, she has become someone that I keep in contact with after the wedding. She even checked in on me when there was a major catastrophic event that took place in the area where I lived months after the wedding. There were even moments when I became uncertain or stressed and focused on the wrong thing when it came to my wedding. Kawania, quite like a mother figure helped me realize what my focus should be and to ignore all other distractions so that when I walked down the aisle, I was in full confidence of how the day was going to be and did not feel a single ounce of stress on my wedding day. I could not be more thrilled to work with Kawania again. Although I do not see myself getting remarried I would certainly work with her for any big event I needed in the future. She has such a positive energy and global about her and brings a light to every interaction even difficult ones that makes her pleasant, respectable, dependable, and all around the absolute reason why my big day went off such success. I cannot state how tirelessly she and her team worked so when I did meet them in person but felt like I was meeting friends who knew exactly what I wanted. You will not regret working with Kawania and Howerton Wooten events!

On.Hae Productions was designed to produce creative and unforgettable events for all of your life's occasions. From small intimate affairs to large-scale parties, we strive to execute events that not only aim to impress you and your guests, but also create unique experiences that last long after the fun is over.

Our venue included a day-of coordinator, which we were skeptical of, but they pretty much insisted. As the months went along, and our planning progressed, our point of contact at the venue changed 3 times. I still had no idea who my day of person would be, but they assured me, someone would be there. With the amount of turnover in the venue's staff, we just didn't feel comfortable trusting that this would be the case. I reached out to a friend who recommended On.Hae.Productions and we spoke with Angie and I just immediately felt better. Angie assured me she would be there for me every step of the way and thank goodness she was. I am not even going to go into the number of things that were missed by the venue, mainly due to the staff changes and notes not passing hands etc, and thankfully, Angie knew our entire vision and was able to swoop in and make sure that the right people were where they needed to be and when. She had to correct the placement of the DJ and the layout of our tent because of course it threatened to rain etc. She just made what could have been problem after problem, turn into a smooth event. We cannot stress how thankful we are to have had Angie and On.Hae.Productions. She really is that insurance package to make sure your day goes right. And, I have to say, she's extremely easy to work with. She listened to what we wanted and made great suggestions based on our ideas, instead of telling us what we wanted and we really appreciated that. We highly recommend a planner and highly recommend On.Hae.Productions.

Some examples that stood out: she was instrumental in efficiently setting up and breaking down the event space and made sure everything was neatly packed away afterwards.
