We were absolutely thrilled with the level of service and attention to detail provided by Blue Magnolia Weddings! Communication was very thorough, and Deidra went over the top in terms of quality of work. She made sure we were hydrated while taking pictures after the ceremony since it was hot outside. Secondly, we made a last minute change of giving Jenny's bouquet to her mother which Deidra promptly arranged and made sure it went smoothly. I'd highly recommend hiring them for your wedding, our special day was stress-free and everyone had a great experience.

Jazmyn was absolutely incredible to work with!! She was extremely thorough, detail-oriented, proactive, communicative, professional, and positive. She truly went above and beyond to bring our vision to life. During the day of the wedding, we were completely stress-free and were able to just enjoy the day.

Wild Rose Planning & Events 

5.0

  • Offers 4 services
  • Starts at $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!

With over 5 years of event coordination experience, I have honed my skills in orchestrating seamless and memorable events.

Every event is an opportunity to transform visions into reality. My goal is always to exceed expectations and create experiences that are both unique and unforgettable.

We worked with Marissa Sartory for our Napa Valley wedding in July 2024. She truly went above and beyond with the planning and coordinating of our wedding! We had multiple walkthroughs of the venue with different vendors and lots of outside requests for the day of and she was so open to different ideas and was always super helpful in getting answers back to us quickly! On the day, she executed a truly beautiful wedding! We had a small hiccup with our DJ *right before the reception* and Marissa had my back completely, making sure we stuck to our planned timeline and executed the vision we had. Everything went according to plan and we were right on time the whole day. Marissa was so attentive to making sure all the details were taken care of and constantly checked in with us to keep up with any changes we wanted to implement.

We booked Teyanna in 2022 for our August 2024 wedding and did not regret it one bit. It was an absolute pleasure from start to finish. Teyanna was beyond accommodating and informative throughout the entire process. Her precise, creative, and professional "client-first" mentality shone through. From countless Zoom calls to meeting up in person to select flowers, it was more than we could have asked for and were expecting. Her professionalism and creativity showed through when we had to improvise our outdoor ceremony to an indoor one thanks to a horrific tropical storm. She called us on the morning of our wedding to ensure we were doing okay and went over every detail with both my husband and me to make sure she and her team didn't miss anything. We cannot wait to work with Teyanna again in the future.

100/100 - would hire again. I knew that hiring a wedding planner wasn’t just a want, but an absolute NEED for us (for me, really). And once that decision was made, I went to all my trusty wedding vendor friends and read all of their vendor recommendations and found Sofi. The moment we had our first call to the day of, Sofi was a gem! On our initial call she asked what my budget was and details/vision of our day and recommended what service we should go with - there was NO pressure at all. Working with Sofi, I felt like I had someone in my corner. She was there if/when I needed her. I also appreciated the reminder emails she would send out to help keep us on track! Our day would not have been as perfect as it was without her. From start to finish, utter perfection. Even with the little snaffoo with the caterer, Sofi made sure I got something to eat (lactose intolerance brides IYKYK).

Wedding Day Bliss with Lyss

I'm Alyssa, and I'm so glad you found your way here. My love for the wedding industry began in 2021 when I had the privilege of planning my own wedding. From that experience, I discovered my passion for all the details—big and small—that make a wedding day truly special. Whether it's helping you choose the perfect venue, picking the best caterer, or working with a florist to bring your vision to life, I’m here for it all.

When I first started to plan our wedding I was not sure I needed a wedding coordinator but boy was I wrong! Having Lyss for our big day was a game changer. She handled so much- from helping keeping every timeline on track, to setting up decor, to steaming dresses and providing Bobby pins to bridesmaids, my niece ripped her dress and she pulls out a sewing kit and helps fix it, she even saved me with deodorant at one point throughout the day. Another thing I loved is that she took pictures behind the scenes so the next morning when I woke up I had pictures to look back on instead of waiting weeks for my photographers photos. She helped my family with clean up at the end of the night too. She never missed a beat and made it where myself and my family members weren’t running around completing tasks and could actually enjoy the day. She is professional, communicative, kind, and someone you can trust on one of the biggest days of your life. Would recommend her a million times!

At Events by Marissa, I am dedicated to making social gatherings unforgettable. With a personal touch and meticulous attention to detail, I ensure events are seamless, stylish, and absolutely delightful. My services include Month-of Coordination, Partial Planning, and Design, tailored to meet the unique needs of each client. Beyond my professional life, I share my days with my amazing fiancé, Joey, and our delightful fur family. When I'm not orchestrating events, you'll find me enjoying life's adventures: hiking scenic trails, traveling to new destinations, roller skating, and indulging in good food with friends and family.

We had the absolute pleasure of working with Marissa as our wedding coordinator for our big day at Paradise Ridge Winery on May 18, 2024. From the very beginning, we knew Marissa would be a great fit for us. She was incredibly responsive, understood our budget, and anticipated our needs, which made the entire planning process smooth and stress-free. Her kind and caring nature made it easy for us to build rapport with her, and she quickly gained our trust by offering thoughtful suggestions to help us stay within our budget while still making our wedding everything we hoped for. Marissa did a fantastic job explaining the planning timeline, which allowed us to see what was coming months in advance. This helped us stay on track and be well-prepared for upcoming deadlines. She worked closely with a variety of vendors and gave us with insights and recommendations that aligned with our preferences and our wedding theme/vibe. When we faced a small issue with a vendor, Marissa was there to advocate for us, finding quick solutions that relieved us of unnecessary stress. One aspect of working with Marissa that we loved most was her openness to our ideas, especially when we wanted incorporate cultural elements into our wedding. Whether it was the late-night ramen bar, hand-folded origami flowers, or engraved chopsticks as gift favors, Marissa ensured these touches were integrated tastefully and seamlessly. She respected our vision and made sure everything looked elegant and fun. On the day of our wedding, Marissa went out of her way to show up for us and make the experience unforgettable. We are incredibly grateful for everything Marissa did for us, and we will undoubtedly recommend her to all our friends and family.
