Wild Rose Planning & Events 
Rating: 5.0 (19 reviews)
Kansas City, MO
  • Planner
  • Offers 3 services
  • Starts at $6,500

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!

RACH!! MY HERO!! MY FAVORITE PERSON EVER! I don’t even know how to thank you for everything you have done. You made my fairy wonderland Wedding come true. I’ve always dreamed of my wedding ever since I was little. I described to you in my head how I wanted it to be and you made it come to life. You knew exactly what I wanted. From helping with the perfect vendors, to the flowers, helping me find my dress, to the little details like the chair rentals. Everything was so beyond perfect because of you. Wedding day was beyond perfect. My day was stress free, fun, sentimental, and one big party. I didn’t have to worry about anything because you and your team took care of everything. Rachael took care of everything behind the scenes, setting everything up, decorating, and making sure I was ok. And your team was so fun and helpful. They even carried around my Stanley for me all day to make sure I was drinking water. I couldn’t have asked for a better day I will never stop reliving it. Thanks for making my day perfect.

Caitlyn Cloud Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (7 reviews)
Kansas City, MO
  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style

I grew up in a divided home, literally. Splitting time between my parents after their divorce, often being in the middle of their fighting, made me grow into a very empathetic person. It’s become the biggest strength I take with me into wedding days. My documentary style stems from my ability to sense when special moments are about to happen. I am able to sense emotions that aren’t necessarily visible, sense when to come close and when to be a fly-on-the-wall, and sense what/who is important to you therefore important to photograph.

Awarded Best of Zola
Besides saying yes to my husband, Caitlyn was the best decision I made for our wedding. I truly have no complaints - Caitlyn is easy to work with and exudes joy. From the start, communication was prompt and friendly - I clearly had no idea what I was doing, and Caitlyn helped me figure out exactly what I wanted our big day to look like. Her prices were extremely reasonable, especially for the quality of product we got. Our engagement photos, wedding photos, and reception photos are all high-quality, while also capturing real moments of joy / not looking overly "posed", which was a big concern of mine as someone who is very awkward in front of a camera. Our wedding was very small, so part of me was nervous about having a photographer there - however, Caitlyn's personality and kindness put everyone at ease, she fit right in! I cannot recommend Caitlyn enough - she will provide incredible documentation of your event(s)!

From the first meeting to engagement photos, rehearsal and wedding day, all the way to final edits Elizabeth was professional, knowledgeable, and easy to work with. She communicates clearly and promptly and has great insight when we asked her about anything. Kyle was a great videographer and support to Elizabeth and Lindsay was amazing as the second shooter making sure two brides were fully covered. Our photos are absolutely stunning and we will cherish our wedding video forever. Our full gallery was delivered two weeks early and our preview was up before we woke up the day after our wedding! They were able to work within our budget and are by far one of my favorite vendors we used. We will absolutely use them in the future for any photography needs and I will recommend them to everyone.

Hi there! Nice to meet you! I’m a photographer, full-time executive assistant at a non-profit organization, graphic designer, true crime weirdo, and karaoke expert in Kansas City, Missouri.

Stevie was so fun to work with and put us at ease during our engagement and wedding photos. She is super communicative and got our photos to us quickly. Our vision really came to life and everything we described to her as our dream aesthetic was captured in our photos.

I get married in October and my friends and family threw me an absolutely beautiful bridal shower. It was at The Martin Event Space and full disclosure, I won it as an event package at the KC Engaged Bridal Fair. Since I won it, they didn’t have to put forth the effort that they did. However, The Martin and Mia, in particular were friendly, accommodating, and all around incredible. I would 1000% recommend their venue for a wedding, rehearsal, shower, or any other event.

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!!

I also offer post guest or venue paintings to send with your thank yous. With decades of experience as a fine artist, I capture personality, & subtle details in a gentle & charming style your guests will treasure. My painting table becomes a warm, interactive experience that honors every person I paint. I truly love creating something that makes people smile and feel special.

Having Angelique from The Painted Bouquet as our live guest painter was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. We initially booked her for florals, but when she shared her Painted Guest service, it sounded so unique that we couldn’t resist and I’m so grateful we didn’t. Our guests who came from so far away were curious from the moment they walked in so we felt we were giving them a true gift. It became this beautiful, social moment but a keepsake as well The portraits themselves were stunning. Not rushed but sweet and well done! Each guest left with something meaningful. We even framed ours. If you want your guests to feel seen, cherished, and part of your party you need Angelique there. Our wedding felt fun, intimate, and deeply personal because of her. I can’t recommend her enough!!

Kansas City, MO
  • Photographer

  • Starts at $7,000

Taking the photo is only a fraction of my job. I’m the cheerleader, usher, keeper of the timeline, and stealth ninja anticipating what’s coming next. After 10 years and more than 200 weddings, I’ve learned a trick or two about how to navigate the unique challenges of a wedding day. I’ve learned that planning for the inevitable means getting to enjoy the unexpected. I’ve learned when to take center stage and be the conductor to ensure that your must-have shots are checked off that list. But, I’ve also learned when to be still and wait for the relationships surrounding you to show their beautiful touches of joy that long to be captured.

Deanna did a phenomenal job photographing our wedding at Melrose Abbey in October 2025. Photos were very important to us and every time we look back through them, we get to relive the day and the beautiful moments. The engagement photo session was a great time to learn what angles and poses we liked about each other, gave feedback to Deanna of what we liked, and the results from the wedding allowed us to have too many good photos to choose from. I also opted to participate in a bridal portrait session which is very common in the South (I'm from Texas). I had so much fun with Deanna at the bridal portrait session taking all the photos I wanted in my dress ahead of the big day. I was able to coordinate trial hair and make-up, mock-up bouquet, and trial run dress and accessories. The bridal portraits enabled me to relax and enjoy all the bridal party and family portraits on actual wedding day. Deanna has such a beautiful vision for photography with both her regular camera and film, she has such a positive attitude and does a great job of coaching but allowing your personality to shine through. We also opted for a 2nd photographer to capture all the moments and Deanna did a great job selecting Chris who took some amazing photos and was fun to work with too. Deanna helped us plan out the wedding day schedule and shared some of her favorite outside photo spots to take the bridal party. She was super responsive and was even scoping out the spots as the day came closer to let us know that the photo spot we had selected was partitioned off for a concert and we were able to pick a new spot about a week ahead of the wedding. She did a great job communicating with our other vendors and we were incredibly thrilled with all keepsake photos we will treasure for the rest of our lives. Thank you for so beautifully capturing Nick and I on our very special day! We would highly recommend Deanna for any photo occasion!
