We can't say enough good things about Rose Event Company! Planning a wedding is never easy, but doing it in just 4 months, from across the country, and in a remote area with limited vendors seemed impossible—until we found Ashley. She took our vision of an intimate elopement with our closest family and friends, and turned it into the weekend of our dreams, managing every detail with perfection and making the entire process stress-free. From the moment we first spoke, I knew that Ashley was everything I was looking for. She is professional, organized, and full of creative ideas. Despite the challenges of our location, she found the perfect vendors to bring our vision to life. She understood our style and preferences right away and worked tirelessly to ensure everything was just as we envisioned. Even with the distance, Ashley was always available, responsive, and kept us updated every step of the way. She organized all the activities for our wedding weekend, including putting together our guest welcome bags. The entire weekend was a like a dream. Every single detail was meticulously executed, and we received so many compliments from our guests about how beautiful and seamless everything was. We truly couldn't have asked for a better experience. If you're looking for someone who is not only incredibly talented but also kind, patient, and genuinely invested in making your day perfect, look no further than Ashley. She made what could have been a stressful and overwhelming process into something fun and memorable. Thank you, Ashley for making our dream wedding a reality!

I am a lifetime Central Coast resident, born and raised in Templeton. I have spent most of my career in the hospitality industry. It wasn't until I started a job in catering management that I realized I had a passion for weddings. I continued doing catering management for 2 years, and then I started assisting all of my favorite wedding planners for 2 years. Most recently I landed job in Venue management and that is when I knew I wanted my own wedding planning business. In my free time I love to go hiking, lift weights and spend time with my family, including our 4 rescue pups. I look forward to meeting you!

Sara is the best! I would hire her again in a heart beat. She is so easy to communicate with and respond quickly and efficiently. She is so well-versed in her vendor knowledge and knows exactly how to make a successful event flow. Plus I just love how positive and friendly and easy she is to work with. She is the whole package!

Michele was our full wedding planner. Our wedding went perfect without a single hitch and it was all thanks to Michele. We had the caterer for our rehearsal dinner drop out one week before the event and Michele found us a replacement within an hour; and the replacement caterer was a slam dunk. Everyone loved the food. On the day of the wedding and rehearsal dinner Michele and Dan did everything. And I mean everything. She set up tables, positioned flowers and welcome signs and seating charts. She ironed over disagreements with vendors and never once did we have to lift a finger. It is a common saying that the bride and groom never enjoy their own wedding but we thoroughly had a blast at ours thanks to Michele. She is forever our go-to recommendation to all our friends getting married. If she has availability to plan your wedding, book her.

Angie, you were absolutely incredible to work with. We had a wonderful time partnering with Angie to create our dream wedding. She was recommended to us by our venue, The Ritz-Carlton Bacara, and we are so happy we chose her! Angie has such a positive personality, always kept everything under control, and never let us feel overwhelmed. It was so smooth at times we wondered what we were forgetting, and Angie always reassured us that we had it all covered. She did it ALL - from getting our vendor rates and availability sorted to showing us all our options and details that made the day come to life. Through our regularly scheduled calls and all the messaging in between, she asked all the right questions to help guide the process, (even for things we hadn't even thought about) and was always available for the one-off questions and to keep us sane, especially during those final two critical months before the big day. Angie also has a wonderful website that organized all our to-do lists, inspo pics, budget info, timelines, vendor details, etc. We didn’t realize how essential something like this was for keeping us on track, and it was little extra details like this that made such a difference. It's because of Angie that we had such wonderful vendors, a significantly less painful planning experience, and a flawlessly executed wedding day!

Everyone who was able to attend our wedding has said it was “one of the best weddings ever” and they loved how everything was setup, and none of that would’ve been done without the Gathering for Goods team.

I’ve always been drawn to the coast. I grew up on Nantucket, a hardworking little island off the coast of cape cod, Massachusetts, and took a leap of faith when I moved across the country to Santa Barbara, California, for school. To say I fell in love with this place is an understatement. It’s here that I found my true calling as an event planner while working in restaurants and as a catering manager. I went on to work as director of events at a large winery, where I managed hundreds of events including weddings, corporate events, wine festivals and concerts. Eventually, I decided to start my own event planning company in 2008.

When I'm not at a wedding, you can find me in the flower shop or doing some *light* retail therapy. I recently graduated from KSU with a B.S. in Hospitality & Event Management. I have had the opportunity to work with some amazing couples & vendors in several states. I even spent time in FL working closely with one of the world's leading entertainment companies bringing hundreds of fairytale weddings & events to life. Now, I'm making magic of my own!

When you think of your wedding, all you can hope for is nothing will go wrong, and if it does, it will be small. When you hire Brooklyn from Brooklyn Rain brides, you can rest assured that your day will be utter perfection. throughout the wedding planning process, Brooklyn was always there for me to reach out to and ask questions and give her professional suggestions. She is beyond wise for her years and knows everything a bride could ask in hand already. Even with me being in the industry Brooklyn would ask me questions leading up to the big day I didn't even know I had, she made sure I knew when and how to get my marriage license and took care of sending it back to the clerk for us. She handled getting the rings to the correct bridal party members and made sure to grab our vow books before the ceremony so we didn't have to remember them. My guests came to me after the ceremony and said it was the best ceremony they had ever seen and I couldnt agree more it had so much emotion, romance and pure magic sprinkled in and brooklyn was incredibly calm collected and well spoken capturing my husband and Is love story perfectly. I cannot recommend her services enough, not only can she officiate the most romantic ceremony ever She is also an incredible wedding coordinator and will make sure your wedding runs smoothly allowing you to have a stress free wedding day! I literally didn't have to handle a single thing on my wedding day because she was there to handle it all. She made all the difference plus she continued to come and check in in me to see how I was doing throughout the getting ready process and has the calmest nature helping me to feel ready before I walked down the aisle. not only did she handle coordination and officiating the wedding she sprinkled in some extra magic by taking some gorgeous photos throughout the day and sent them to me the morning after the wedding so I would have a little something until my professional photos arrived! I am so utterly grateful to Brooklyn for making the best day of my life utterly perfect. She may be based in Ohio, however, my wedding was in Michigan-she has traveled all over the United States to work weddings and is so worth it, so feel free to inquire about out of state travel. Anyone who is engaged, I can't say it enough, you need a Brooklyn to help guide you in your wedding planning!

Juliette was extremely professional throughout our entire wedding process, and we couldn't recommend her enough. From the very beginning when we were selecting which wedding coordinator to hire, Juliette stood out due to her willingness to pretty much do anything to get the job done. In the weeks preceding our wedding, she asked my wife and I all of the right questions which we never would have thought of otherwise to make sure we were ready for our special day. In the days before, she was very direct and organized in dealing with our other vendors. And on the day itself, not only did she execute a ceremony to reception flip flawlessly, she made my wife's table scape vision come true-- all with an upbeat and positive attitude through the whole process.

Glennie and Lauren did so wonderful with our wedding. We had the "month-of" services, and they really helped wrangle all the final details and day-of chaos. Kept us on schedule, & took all our piece-mail decorations and made our wedding beautiful. Plus they were just really wonderful people.

My wedding was incredible thanks to Ray and Brandi. I hired them for the month-of-coordination and for the day of. Highly recommend, Brandi took the time to get to know my vision for my wedding day, before setting me up with Ray as our coordinator. Couldn’t be happier with how our wedding went! Thank you so much!!
