Every wedding I plan is approached with the same care, consideration, and attention I would give if it belonged to someone I love. That philosophy shapes every recommendation I make from the biggest decisions to the smallest details. My background is in hospitality, so creating experiences where people feel welcomed and cared for has always been at the heart of what I do. I bring that same mindset to every wedding, helping couples navigate the planning process with guidance they can trust and creating celebrations that feel genuine, meaningful, and entirely their own.

My wife and I worked with Danielle at a venue and she was so fantastic, we followed her from one venue to the other. We were so interested to work with her, we sought her out. The building, the amenities and the food…important? I guess… but not as important as the person who is going to help you keep the event on the rails, be in your corner the whole time and do everything she can to make your day the best it can be. Someone once told me, “a bunch of things are gonna go sideways on your day, you’ll know, but no one else will. Just enjoy the whole thing.” Danielle made sure to make our day as perfect as it really turned out to be. It was 5 years ago and people still comment on the day.

Lauren far exceeded our expectations of a wedding coordinator and we could not be happier with our experience with her. As a fairly organized couple, we were not sure how much help we would need from a day-of coordinator, but working with Lauren for the month leading up to our wedding was the best wedding expense we paid for. Lauren fully took over all of our vendor relationships and communications and helped us organize every last detail leading up to the big day. Lauren was so easy to work with, super responsive, knew exactly which questions to ask, and exuded confidence in a very pleasant way.

My name is Annastacia and I am the owner of Rose Coast Events. I bring my background of luxury hospitality concierge management to every project I coordinate. One of the things I enjoy most in life is a good story and helping my clients to craft a celebration or event worth telling a story about is at the core of my work. I seek to ensure that my clients feel fully supported from the moment we first speak until our final goodbye. You will be able to fully enjoy your own event when you work with our team!

Annastacia at Rose Coast Events is the most professional, kind, thoughtful, economically-savy, detail-oriented and well-connected event planner we ever could have asked for! My now husband & I hired Annastacia in 2024 to plan our medium-sized unique (and untraditional!) island wedding in Maine. We couldn't have found a better fit for the job and feel very lucky that our friend referred her to us. For about 70% of the wedding planning itself, my husband and I lived far away from where our wedding in Maine would actually be, but Annastacia was unfazed by the physical distance. We met remotely and she continued to never miss a beat in our correspondences, leading up to the day itself. We liked her so much during the planning process, that we eventually asked her to help us with our shared bachelorette party AND the after wedding brunch as well, because she was so capable and efficient! She took the stress right out of our hands, and took on more than we ever imagined. She is ideal; calm, cool & collected no matter what the circumstance, thoughtful with all the finishing touches and great at personalizing the event itself to make it feel organic and original. Annastacia and her team have an amazing sense of style and were able to articulate the vision my husband and I dreamed up with flying colors. She made/created/found the majority of the amazing decor herself and didn't charge us an arm and a leg for this extra effort. I can't say enough about how awesome she is and we wouldn't have chosen anyone else for the job. She deserves all the praise and will make your event SHINE like no other!

I'm obsessed with Charlene! She was a dream to work with. She brought such professionalism to our hectic event. We were planning a wedding at a personal property, meaning we had to supply every single vendor and she handled everything amazingly.

There were times I felt a little underwater in terms of managing an event I had no experience with, and her demeanor was so calming and she handled any last minute things.

Working with Sarah was an absolute dream. Planning a beach wedding in Maine while living in Florida felt overwhelming at first, but Sarah made the entire process smooth and stress-free.

Cassie and her team were absolutely incredible throughout our entire wedding planning process and on our wedding day on July 18th! From the start of working with Cassie about 3 months before our wedding, she was such a valuable resource. She joined vendor calls, answered countless questions, provided thoughtful guidance, and helped us navigate so many decisions along the way. Cassie always made us feel supported, informed, and confident that everything was coming together exactly as it should. When our wedding day arrived, I truly don’t know how we would have gotten through it without her. From the moment the day began, she was on top of every detail—keeping us on schedule, coordinating with vendors, and making sure everyone was exactly where they needed to be, exactly when they needed to be there. Cassie and her team also did an amazing job setting up all of the décor we brought. When I walked into the reception space for the first time, everything looked perfect. It was exactly how I would have envisioned and arranged it myself. The greatest part of working with Cassie, was that she allowed us to fully relax and be present on our wedding day. I never once had to worry about the logistics happening behind the scenes because I knew she had everything under control. That peace of mind allowed us to truly enjoy every moment with our family and friends. Now that my husband and I have had some time to reflect on our wedding, we keep finding ourselves talking about how amazing Cassie and her team were. We feel so grateful that we found Ros&Co. Without a doubt, they played one of the biggest roles in making our wedding day such a success and ensuring everything ran seamlessly. If you’re looking for a wedding planner who is thoughtful, organized, professional, sincere, and genuinely invested in making your day perfect, I cannot recommend Ros&Co highly enough. Hiring Cassie was one of the best decisions we made during the entire wedding planning process, and we are so grateful for everything she did to make our wedding day even better than we imagined.

Where do I even begin? Some people plan weddings. Abibi Bridal created an experience I will treasure for the rest of my life. From the very beginning, they poured their hearts into making sure every detail was perfect. The months leading up to my wedding were filled with organized vendor meetings, detailed planning, personal check-ins, and countless phone calls. Through it all, Abiola became so much more than my wedding planner: she became family. She embraced me like her little sister, celebrated every milestone with me, calmed every anxious moment, and carried my heart as if it were her own. That kind of love cannot be taught; it comes from someone who is truly passionate about what they do. In the days leading up to the wedding, while I was trying to soak in every moment, Abiola and Gloria were already working tirelessly behind the scenes. They contacted every vendor, confirmed timelines, ensured paperwork was completed, and handled every detail before I even had to think about it. Because of them, I had the greatest gift a bride could ask for - peace of mind. Then came July 12. I have never felt so loved, so cared for, and so celebrated. From the moment I woke up, I wasn’t just another bride, I was treated like a queen. Something as simple as having an iced matcha bought for me to calm my nerves spoke volumes. It reminded me that they weren’t just checking off tasks; they were taking care of me. The energy that Abiola, Vanessa, Comfort, Dorcas, and Silvia brought into the room was absolutely contagious. They were full of joy, encouragement, laughter, professionalism, and excellence. They anticipated needs before anyone asked, handled every behind-the-scenes detail with grace, and made sure everything flowed effortlessly. Most importantly, they didn’t just care for me, they made every one of my bridesmaids feel seen, valued, and treated like queens as well. People often say your wedding day flies by because of all the moving parts. Mine didn’t feel stressful because Abibi Bridal carried the weight so my husband and I could simply be present. We laughed, we cried, we worshipped, we celebrated, and we created memories that will last a lifetime because they made sure everything else was taken care of. Their professionalism is unmatched. Their attention to detail is extraordinary. Their kindness is genuine. Their teamwork is beautiful. And the love they have for their couples is something you can feel in every interaction. To Abiola and the entire Abibi Bridal team: thank you for loving us so intentionally. Thank you for serving with excellence. Thank you for making me feel like family. Thank you for giving my husband and me the wedding day we prayed for and dreamed about. If it’s not Abibi Bridal, I don’t want it. July 12 will forever be one of the most beautiful days of my life, not only because I married the love of my life, but because of the incredible women who worked tirelessly behind the scenes to make every single moment unforgettable. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you. We love you, and we will never stop singing your praises.

Katelynn made the planning of our wedding a pleasure. She was organized, always upbeat, has a great network, excellent ideas, yet not afraid to push back when needed. She kept the process moving along which allowed us to mostly enjoy the whole thing. She set us up for an amazing wedding, more beautiful than we could have even imagined. We loved working with her and recommend her wholeheartedly.

Working with Marissa and her team at MB Events, was by far the best decision my husband and I could have made during our wedding planning process. Marissa truly goes above and beyond for her clients, and her passion for her work is apparent from start to finish. My husband and I chose a venue where every aspect of our wedding needed to be coordinated with third-party vendors (string quartet, DJ, catering (incl. table, chairs, linens), set up, breakdown, etc). When we realized how much we underestimated the time and coordination needed to plan such an important event, we knew we needed help. Enter: MB Events. From the start, Marissa kept my husband and I organized throughout the entire wedding planning process, ensuring our vision for the day came to fruition, and truly made our wedding day better than we had ever expected. We planned an outdoor wedding, and inevitably it was supposed to pour (thunder, lightning, flood, tornado warnings), and Marissa and her team worked from sunup to sundown to ensure that our day was exactly as we had imagined, rain or shine. Marissa was an advocate for my husband and I when difficult day-of -decisions needed to be made in relation to the rain, which allowed us to just “focus and take in the moment” which we are extremely grateful for. With some last minute timeline adjustments by Marissa, we were able to have the outdoor ceremony of our dreams. This would not have happened without the expertise and dedication of Marissa and her team. Multiple times throughout the wedding planning process I told my husband that Marissa seems to be the only vendor we chose that is actually “on our side.” We struggled with the organization and responses of other vendors, especially as the wedding season was in full swing, but Marissa never missed a moment. She was professional, quick to respond, and extremely reliable. I know that there are many options when choosing a wedding planner, but I can honestly say, I believe Marissa and her team to be the best there is. Personally, the only downside I’ve found about working with Marissa has been the end of it all… because it feels kind of like I don’t have my best friend around anymore!

I can’t say enough good things about Ayden! I hired her later in the planning process, and my only regret is not hiring her sooner. She truly kept me sane on my wedding day. From quickly bustling my dress so I could get back to the party, to even helping my dad fix the hem of his pants—she went above and beyond in every way. My venue went through three different coordinators in the span of a year (something I never thought would happen, especially at such a nice hotel in Maine). The communication was a nightmare, and I honestly don’t know what I would have done without Ayden. She was relentless in trying to get in contact with someone when I simply didn’t have the time—I work a full-time, demanding job—and I didn’t even hear from the venue until about three weeks before my wedding. We still had timeline issues that needed immediate attention, and Ayden took charge. She finally got me in touch with the general manager, and things smoothed out from there. By the time the wedding arrived, I was so burnt out that I gave Ayden very little direction on how to set up some of my decorative pieces—and she absolutely nailed it. Everything looked wonderful and exactly how I had envisioned it (if not better). She kept me on schedule, executed every detail perfectly, and made the day feel effortless. I know wedding planning is expensive, but the stress and anxiety are just not worth the hassle. Having Ayden there was truly priceless. She is calm, collected, and incredibly detail-oriented—exactly the person you want by your side on your wedding day. If you’re on the fence about hiring a day-of coordinator, let this be your sign—Ayden is absolutely incredible!
