If there's anything I recommend to newly engaged couples, it's a wedding coordinator! I don't know what our wedding would've been without Jazmyn. She is so organized and thoughtful throughout the process, making sure that nothing slips through the cracks and our day is exactly what it should be.

She was available to answer our questions and provide guidance throughout the planning process. Her questionnaire before the wedding was really essential in helping us plan group shots and decide on what pictures were essential vs not important for us. On our wedding day, Bailey went above and beyond, not only capturing all of our most important moments with beautiful, high-quality photos, but also acting as a "wedding superhuman" - she communicated with the ceremony venue and helped us with so many little details to ensure our day ran smoothly. The final photos were absolutely stunning and the value was incredibly reasonable!

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!

We had booked Hannah for her previous expertise at our reception venue. Since we had a long engagement, we can an extended period of communication but closer to the day Hannah made sure that we were all on the same page and felt heard. Day of she communicated, was on time, and was honestly a ninja getting all the best shots. Also I think she pulled an extra hair tie out of her purse for my husband so prepared for emergencies, anyone?! Come time for editing, she provided a sneak peek pretty quickly and provided updates on where she was with the whole production. Had we needed any tweaks (we didn’t because she’s amazing) I’m confident that she would have made them ASAP. Booking a videographer is important, so do yourself a favor and book Hannah.

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.

From the moment we first spoke with Chris at No Limit Grip LLC, we knew we were in good hands. His communication style was easy to understand and made us feel comfortable throughout the entire process. The quality of his work is simply unmatched - it truly doesn't get any better than this.

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!!

We started Embrace the Grape in 2009 to help a bride find an affordable solution for her bar. Here we are, all these years and thousands of couples later still having the best time helping people celebrate life.

This vendor was THE most professional, succinct, and polite to deal with during the planning. They respond quickly, are clear and concise in their language, and they delivered great service during our reception as well.
