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. She is incredible! I would highly recommend!

Wild Rose Planning & Events 

5.0

  • Planner
  • Offers 3 services
  • Starts at $6,500
  • 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!

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.

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.

The Embrace the Grape team was AMAZING and so fun to work with! They were attentive, kind, and understanding especially due to the number of times our guest list changed. If you are a couple looking for an amazing team, look no further! Embrace the Grape is the best...and so were those spicy margaritas!!
