Jazmyn did an AMAZING job. I met with her twice before the wedding to go over any details and my timeline. Jazmyn was always a text or email away to answer any questions I had. She also contacted all my vendors to ensure they were ready to go! She ran the rehearsal, so everyone knew exactly what their part was. She went above & beyond to ensure our day went smoothly.

If Randy from Say Yes to the dress, Carlos from Cake Boss, Jane from 27 Dresses, Mary from The Wedding Planner and Jeremy & John from The Wedding Crashers had a baby....it'd be me! Hi, I'm Alexis your wedding planner bestie with plenty of knowledge and a little sass. I was raised by the best in the business as you read and always looking for fun intuitive ways to support and cherish my clients.

The team at Be My Guest Weddings were the absolute best that my wife and I could have asked for. Leading up to the big day, the check-ins were nice to have as it helped assuage our worries. They took on things that were stressing us out, with our input and such, and delivered in ways that we hadn't even thought about. On the big day itself, there were fires that we didn't even know had popped up that were taken care of so that we could focus on living in the moment. We decided on the team because of the genuinity we felt in the consultation. We're people persons at our core, and it was important for us to find a team that reflected the types of purposeful connections, and not just being another couple on the schedule. We're lucky to have stumbled on this team.

We’re here to provide you with the experience you deserve — stress free, organized, and memorable!

Awarded Best of Zola
I can’t say enough about the incredible experience I had working with Brenna and Molly from Wild Rose Planning Events. Brenna was my primary planner, and we opted for their full-service package, which was hands down the best investment we made for our wedding. From day one, Brenna was on top of everything – even with the small but essential details like parts of our invites, menus, and custom signage. She truly went above and beyond, bringing a personal touch and creative flair that made our wedding so special. Brenna and Molly brought so much creativity to the planning process. They even used their Cricut to add those perfect handcrafted details that made everything feel unique to us. I had a few items I wanted from Pinterest, and Brenna took care of all the ordering, handling all the specifics with the vendors. Every time I reached out, she was quick to respond, making me feel reassured and at ease throughout what could have been a stressful process. Something especially unique about Brenna is that she went above and beyond, working closely with a travel advisor to plan my entire three-week honeymoon abroad. She handled every detail, from flights and accommodations to curated experiences that made our honeymoon an unforgettable extension of our wedding celebration. Her dedication to planning every part of this experience truly blew me away, and I felt completely cared for even after the wedding day was over. Planning an out-of-town wedding could have been a logistical nightmare, but Brenna and Molly made it seamless. Their network of vendors is outstanding, and I felt so comfortable knowing they had connections with everyone from florists to photographers. On the big day, every vendor seemed genuinely excited to work with them, creating a lively, positive atmosphere that elevated our celebration even more. We got married at Top of the Rock at Big Cedar Lodge, a dream venue. Thanks to Wild Rose, I was able to have a hands-off experience for what is normally a hands-on process. Running my own small business, I know how important it is to have reliable partners, and Wild Rose Planning Events delivered every step of the way. They made it possible for me to relax and truly enjoy our wedding day, knowing every detail was flawlessly handled. Wild Rose Planning Events came highly recommended by a friend, and now I see why. Brenna and Molly have such a great reputation, and it’s well-deserved. They went above and beyond, making my dream wedding come to life, and I feel like I gained two friends in the process. If you’re looking for a team that is dedicated, creative, and genuinely invested in making your day special, I wholeheartedly recommend Wild Rose Planning Events. They made our wedding and honeymoon dreams come true, and I am forever grateful!

A Little About Me I’ve spent the past 12 years working in digital photography, film, and television. I’ve traveled across the country contributing to everything from commercial photoshoots and TV shows to full-length feature films. While my primary focus for the past seven years has been in television and film, I’ve never set down my still camera. Throughout that time, I’ve continued to pursue my passion for portrait and automotive photography. Now, I’m excited to return to the medium that first inspired me: wedding photography.

Working with No Limit Grip LLC for our wedding photography was a truly outstanding experience. Chris and his team were incredibly clear and direct in their communication, which put us at ease throughout the entire process. Their work was innovative and of the highest quality, capturing all of the special moments we wanted - and even some we didn't realize we needed. Chris made sure to get photos of the little details, like the kids playing and my bridesmaids' happy tears, that we'll treasure forever. In fact, I loved working with him so much that I tried to book him for every event! No Limit Grip LLC's professionalism, creativity, and long-lasting photo quality made them the perfect choice for our wedding day.

Watching her paint was so exciting—every portrait was delicate, charming, and full of personality. Our guests couldn’t stop talking about how seen and special they felt. People lined up just to get their photos taken so she could paint them, and many told us their painting is now framed in their homes. Angelia didn’t just capture our guests—she captured the joy, warmth, and the spirit of our celebration. We would recommend her again and again!

I pride myself in not only delivering beautiful photos of your day, but also taking care of couples and sharing my knowledge to help with everything from the planning to making sure things go smoothly on the big day. My goal is to capture the organic memories of the day and to blend the photography into those memories rather than pull you away from them. I offer lots of extras to personalize your day too!

Heather Neal did an amazing job capturing my wedding. Ever vision I had she brought to life. She made the day so fun! I am very lucky to call her my Aunt and very thankful I get to look back on our photos and see how perfectly they reflect the day. With her you get great communication leading up to your big day, always working hard capturing details and of course the AMAZING photos.
