Rose Event Company

  • Serves Santa Ynez, CA

I’m Ashley, the owner of Rose Event Co. I love being able to share in the love of two individuals and feel lucky to get to work with such wonderful people each day! I’ve been planning weddings and events for over eight years now, and I couldn’t be more thankful with where I am now in my business. I primarily serve the OR | WA | CA markets, but will travel anywhere!

Awarded Best of Zola
Hiring Ashley at Rose Event Co as our Day of Wedding Coordinator was definitely one of the best decisions we made in planning our wedding. I thought I was going to be able to manage planning our entire wedding myself, but as the day crept closer and closer, I realized that I was definitely going to need a hand. We spoke with a dozen different coordinators, and Ashley just stood out SO strongly amongst the rest. To put it as simply as possible, she saw our vision, she understood it, she stood in and shared in it with us. She knew exactly how to support us in making it happen, and she was easily able to make us feel that. We initially had concerns about her being located so far away from us (we're in Oakland, CA), but she put those concerns to rest so quickly! Throughout my months of planning after hiring Ashley, she was always there to answer my questions, and provide support and reassurance in all of the little things that I just wasn't sure how to handle myself, and she did so with such grace, patience, and an air of calm that was so extremely helpful and reassuring. When the month of our wedding arrived, Ashley quickly got to work on communicating with and organizing all of our vendors and laying out the structure for the day. She traveled to Monte Rio to be with us the day before our big day, walked us through the ceremony, went over all of the details, and left us so confident and comfortable in her extremely capable hands. The day of the wedding, Ashley handled EVERYTHING and EVERYONE with such care and tranquility. All of our wedding vendors absolutely loved her, and we never stopped hearing about how great she was to work with! Ashley is an absolute BOSS in all of the best ways that you can imagine! She is supportive, encouraging, communicative, active, helpful, caring, the list just goes on and on. She wants you to succeed, and you can FEEL it. She remembered and double checked on all of the little details, before, during, and after our wedding, and words simply cannot express our gratitude. She did so many things automatically, that I hadn't even thought to discuss with her, but was so grateful that we had her there to do. Thank you Ashley!! She did so many little things that I didn't even realize until I started looking through all of our photos, and noticed that they had all been done. On top of all of that, she basically packed up the entirety of our decor with the assistance of her extremely helpful husband, which was such a huge relief for us and for our wedding party who had put so much into the day. We were all able to completely disconnect and just enjoy the evening, which was so unbelievably priceless. There are so many things that make Ashley stand out from other coordinators. So many coordinators that we had talked to before Ashley had a big list of things that they would NOT do, but not Ashley. She was willing to do whatever needed to be done to ensure that our wedding day went perfectly, and it did, thanks to her!! HUGE bonus, she brought along her Super 8 camera, and we CANNOT WAIT to see the footage!! If you're looking for someone who has your back, and can handle ALL of the things with a level of calm that oozes into everyone around her, HIRE ASHLEY! You absolutely will not regret it. Thank you so much Ashley, for EVERYTHING that you did, and for ALL of your help in making our wedding day so unbelievably perfect!!

Desiree from Serenity Weddings made our entire wedding experience feel effortless and truly enjoyable. From our very first call, she made us feel comfortable and supported. Her communication was quick, clear, and reassuring. I could tell right away that she genuinely cared about making our day everything we hoped for. She was incredibly organized and kept all of our vendors perfectly in sync, making sure every detail was handled and nothing fell through the cracks. Thanks to her, the entire planning process felt smooth and stress-free. On our wedding day, she went above and beyond, driving all the way from Los Angeles to Winters just to be there for us. She stayed calm, kept us calm, and somehow thought of every little thing (including having cough drops in her pocket right when I needed them!). We’re endlessly grateful for her dedication, kindness, and professionalism. Our wedding day was absolutely perfect, and we truly couldn’t have done it without Desiree and Serenity Weddings.

Michele was our full wedding planner. Our wedding went perfect without a single hitch and it was all thanks to Michele. We had the caterer for our rehearsal dinner drop out one week before the event and Michele found us a replacement within an hour; and the replacement caterer was a slam dunk. Everyone loved the food. On the day of the wedding and rehearsal dinner Michele and Dan did everything. And I mean everything. She set up tables, positioned flowers and welcome signs and seating charts. She ironed over disagreements with vendors and never once did we have to lift a finger. It is a common saying that the bride and groom never enjoy their own wedding but we thoroughly had a blast at ours thanks to Michele. She is forever our go-to recommendation to all our friends getting married. If she has availability to plan your wedding, book her.

Hiring Brenda / Gatherings for Good was the smartest thing we did in our wedding planning process. At the beginning we were thinking we were going to plan everything ourselves, but as the wedding became bigger we decided to look for a planner and we're so glad we got Brenda's help as we couldn't have done it without her. We already had a venue and some vendors picked out, but Brenda was able to recommend a lot of great vendors through her extensive network and keep us on track with the milestones we needed to hit to make sure the wedding went off without a hitch. She also brought things to our attention to think about/take care of that we would have never considered on our own, so it was invaluable to have her experience at the helm. She was very communicative and she is very dedicated and detail oriented and made many revisions to our timeline to make sure everything was well planned. On the day of our wedding Brenda and her team made sure everything ran smoothly.

With extensive knowledge about the wedding and event industry and established relationships with top vendors, KB Events assembles the perfect team, expertly curated to compliment your personality and story. From writing clean and organized agendas to communication and design, every event is meticulously managed to produce unforgettable moments.

Working with KB Events was hands down one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. We did the partial planning package, and it ended up being so much more service than we expected. From day one, we felt taken care of every step of the way. Hannah was an absolute superstar. She's organized, direct, and incredibly knowledgeable about Santa Barbara weddings. Every interaction, calls, emails, meetings, rehearsal, wedding day - was professional, kind, and efficient. She has this calm, confident energy that immediately puts you at ease, and it made what could have been a stressful process feel smooth and enjoyable. She had amazing vendor recommendations (and clearly great relationships with them), but what we really appreciated was her flexibility. When we wanted to bring in a few of our own vendors, she was completely supportive and made everything feel seamless. Nothing was ever awkward or forced, it was a true collaboration from start to finish. The wedding day itself was flawless. Every detail ran on time, the communication was clear, and we were able to fully relax and enjoy the celebration knowing we were in the best hands. The end result was more beautiful and meaningful than we could have dreamed of. It was clear throughout that Hannah truly cared about us - not just as clients, but as people, and that personal touch meant the world. If you're getting married in Santa Barbara, I can't recommend KB Events enough. They're worth every penny for the amount of value they provide, and the level of professionalism, care, and heart they bring to the process is unmatched. We honestly can't imagine doing it without them.

We are so grateful for brandi! Because our contract said we had to have a wedding planner for the day.We thought we could just get one just to show.But after interviewing the first one, We knew we needed someone who would definitely care about our special day and all it's details. We interviewed for four others and we just didn't find what we were looking for: professionalism, attention to details, demeanor that showed they would have a quick command of our large bridal party- until we met Brandi!!! What a God sent! Upon meeting her, her genuine care for our wedding was felt immediately. My now husband and I were very organized and already had all the details we wanted.We just need someone excellent to execute them and Brandi did that and so much more. Right away, She contacted all of our vendors, grabbed all of our contracts and organized them. She had an awesome timeline made capturing every detail we explained to her. She was always available to talk or text when we had random questions and always gave thoughtful answers. During the rehearsal, she was in charge and fun! Her loving heart showed when I showed her my bridal bouquet that was full of sad white roses. She made it her mission to find me a new bouquet the day of the wedding! Went to four florists! Just for me! On the wedding day, Brandi and her assistants were excellently dressed in black and with walkies. They set-up my ballroom, beautifully drapped my arch, and aisle chairs just as I dreamed. She and her team were with us until the end. One of the best things we did for this wedding was getting Brandi on board. She's the epitome of small sacrifice BIG, BIG reward. She shows amd makes you feel that coordinating your wedding is her true passion and service. We loved her so much, we referred her to another friend and now her team will be at that wedding! Thank you so much Brandi and your team.

My name is Samantha Grande. I have always had a passion for helping couples making their wedding dreams/visions come true on their big day. I have an eye for detail and I am a very hard worker. I understand all the wedding stress and I am here for you.

We were thrilled with Grande Events as our wedding planner. Their communication throughout the entire planning process was thorough, concise, courteous, and always prompt. They responded to emails within 24 hours and made sure all our vendors were looped in on important details. The quality of their work was fantastic - every document, timeline, layout, etc. was neat, detailed, and beautiful. On our big day, they went above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly, coordinating seamlessly with all our vendors and wedding party. The ceremony flowed perfectly in the order we desired thanks to their attention to detail. We truly appreciated their dedication to understanding our vision and bringing it to life. If you're looking for a planner who will listen and turn your dream wedding into a reality, we highly recommend Grande Events.

Things for us, certainly came with more than a few bumps along the road. But when Abibi Bridal stepped in, it felt like someone finally saw us, heard us, and held space for both our dream and our chaos. Abiola became a calm presence when we were stressed, a creative light when we felt stuck, and a true advocate when we needed our voices heard. She was able to support us from out of state yet, it always felt like she was right there beside us present, organized, thoughtful, and incredibly kind. Her ability to listen and lead at the same time is something we’ll never forget. Every vendor and guest who interacted with her had nothing but glowing feedback. She didn’t just coordinate, she connected. When things didn’t go as planned, She worked with what she was given and she carried it all with grace, protecting the peace and joy of our day. Abiola softened every misstep, elevated every moment, and somehow her and her team made the entire experience more beautiful than we could have imagined. That’s not something you can find on a checklist. After the wedding, my husband who rarely says much—turned to me and said: "If we had to do this all over again, I’d want her from DAY ONE." That one sentence said everything we both felt in our hearts. She embodies everything a couple hopes for in a wedding coordinator. We honestly can’t believe the wedding is over. What’s even harder to believe is that we don’t get to keep her because Abiola energy, her presence, her passion it’s nothing short of magical. truly became like family. Abiola is not just a vendor; she’s like family. With all our love, The Saint-Stanton's Married 5.25.2025 @ 5:25 PM

Natalie is the sweetest, most detail oriented wedding planner I’ve ever met!!! Her and her husband Daniel make such a great team. Along with Lead Production Designer Brendan, Assistant Luke, Production Assistant Caterina, and her whole Production team, they all contributed significantly to my big wedding day! From the moment we started working with Natalie at our first initial call, we felt an instant sigh of relief that we were able to work with someone who understood our vision. Natalie was able to build mood boards and decks of beautiful inspiration photos after describing to her how we wanted our wedding to look and feel. She worked with us as a partial wedding planner, although we truly wished we found her from the start to book her as a full wedding planner! With every decision that needed to be made along the process (whether it was deciding to spend more on an item or cut back on other items) she always made sure to lay out ALL the options, which helped us make an informed decision. Natalie even took a day out of her time to go shopping with me for welcome table decor the week of my wedding to ensure that we had something ready and set up for the big day! We are so impressed with her kindness, patience, and professionalism in the wedding planning industry! I truly recommend her to any couple that is looking for someone who is responsive, extremely detail oriented, and knows how to work within your budget! Our dream wedding was not possible with you!!!!

Working with Michelle has been an absolute pleasure. We selected Michelle because of her long successful track record and also because we have close friends who admitted that Michelle was to be trusted. Selecting a planner can be difficult but thankfully we were blessed with the best one! My wife expects nothing but perfection so the communication between her and Michelle was constant. Everytime my wife had a question or some reassurance; Michelle was there to assist immediately. As a husband, what I appreciated the most was her attention to detail and her calmness. She would always jot down all of our wishes and requests in her notebook in which I respected because there were a lot of asks on our end. Such a professional, responsible, trustworthy person. Thank you Michelle and to the team for allowing my wife and I to enjoy our special day. I would trust your work with my family and friends.

We can’t thank Kari Ann enough for the incredible job they did as our wedding planner and coordinator! From the very first consultation, we knew we were in good hands. Kari took the time to truly understand our vision and helped bring it to life with precision and style. On the day of our wedding, everything went seamlessly. Kari and her team managed every detail – from coordinating with vendors to ensuring that our guests were taken care of. They were always one step ahead, anticipating any potential issues and handling them effortlessly. What really stood out to us was how calm and collected Kari remained throughout the day, which helped keep us calm as well. They were not just a coordinator but a true partner throughout the entire planning process. We received so many compliments on how smoothly everything went, and it’s all thanks to Kari. If you’re looking for someone who is professional, organized, and truly passionate about making your day perfect, we highly recommend Kari Ann. Thank you for making my day magical.
