Hi, I’m Hannah! With 6 years in the wedding industry and experience owning three companies. My passion for detail, love of planning, and ability to make quick decisions under pressure inspired me to start my second coordination company. Today, I lead a talented team of coordinators dedicated to helping couples celebrate their big day with ease, ensuring every moment is seamless and unforgettable.

From the moment we booked Vibrant Events Company, we knew we were in good hands. Hannah and her team provided easy, fast and efficient communication throughout the planning process. Their seamless work behind the scenes ensured our wedding day went off without a hitch - they made sure all our vendors were taken care of and kept us right on schedule. The value of their services was better than expected, as Hannah's cool, calm demeanor and wealth of ideas and advice really helped us plan the perfect timeline and reception setup.

Hi! I'm Amber! I am a Creative Project Manager and Wedding Pro. I'm from St. Louis, MO and I have been working with couples across the state of Iowa for 3 years. I believe that every bride deserves to enjoy the wedding planning journey without stress or worry. If you are considering hiring a Wedding Planner, I would love to meet you and work with you. You can trust the "A" Team!

Amber was spectacular, hands down. We hired her for her planning services as well as day of coordination. Our wedding was DIY in many regards. We met frequently throughout the year leading up to our wedding and she made sure nothing was forgotten. She introduced us to our bartender and the person who we rented sound equipment as well as her assistant Allison, all of whom were excellent. She worked well with our family members who were also involved in planning. Our rehearsal the night before the wedding itself went off without a single hitch. She truly seemed to care about us and our day. I’d recommend her a hundred times over to anyone!

Team Yellow Rose truly brought our vision to life. From our initial consultation, I knew that Isabel and I were on the same page. Isabel was creative with different ways to maintain our budget. She went above and beyond by MAKING CANDLES in the exact shade I wanted when we could not find any.

Whether you're envisioning an intimate gathering or a grand celebration, we work closely with you to bring your dream wedding to life, ensuring that every moment is seamless and memorable.

My partner and I were married late summer 2024 and we (and our guests) couldn’t stop raving about Ariel and her team. Ariel went above and beyond to make our day run so smoothly. From set up, to greeting and paying vendors, to tear down, we were able to be so present in a day that could have been so stressful because we knew we were in great hands. We debated whether or not we would hire a day of coordinator and Xtraordinary Coordinations turned out to be the most important vendor of our special day! In the lead up to our day, Ariel met with us several times (including a venue walkthrough) and is so personable and charismatic, the meetings that could have been really stressful were actually really fun! I wish I was having another wedding so I could hire Xtraordinary Coordinations again!

I have been coordinating events for 5+ years and fell in love with the methodical creation that comes from planning each different event. Each event is different and has it's own challenges which makes the entire process that much more exciting.

Audrei was so attentive to what we wanted our big day to look like. She was the coordinator the day of our wedding and I don’t know that I could have found anyone better to ensure my vision was kept and everything ran smoothly.

Awarded Best of Zola
Brianna and Karin were absolute rockstars! They took on a super difficult task due to the nature of the venue -- an DIY outdoor center with no cell phone reception, and key sites separated by a 0.3 mile gravel path, plus literally 7 different locations for all the different events (rehearsal, his and hers getting ready, ceremony, reception, cocktail hour, and food storage cabin). Oh, also the venue team has never hosted a wedding before!!! B&K handled it perfectly. I truly don't know what we would have done without them. Thank you for helping make it such a truly unique and special day.

I got married on a llama farm, so you could say I’m no stranger to quirky, out-of-the-box celebrations. From that unforgettable day, I realized I have a real knack for bringing dream weddings to life, no matter how unique the vision. Now, I’m here to help couples create their perfect day, whether it’s under fairy lights, in a barn, or even at a llama farm! When I’m not busy planning, I’m at home with my amazing husband, two snuggly cats, and one very fluffy rabbit. Let’s create something magical together!

Many years ago, I was lucky enough to have Michaela help with some last-minute details for my sister's wedding, and she was an absolute lifesaver! Her attention to detail and ability to bring calm to the chaos were exactly what we needed. Now, seeing her officially launch her wedding planning business after planning her own wedding, I'm thrilled for future couples who get to work with her. Michaela is meticulous, dedicated, and truly has a talent for making everything run seamlessly. She’s exactly who any couple needs on their big day!

From beginning to end, our team approaches every moment with you in mind. We stand by the belief that no occasion is too big or too small to be handled the utmost level of care and professionalism. Memories and love last a lifetime.

Jacki and her team are simply fabulous! There is so much more to hair and makeup services than simply making you look and feel your best, though they will do that too! Just as important is Jacki's understanding of wedding days and special events, their timelines, working with other vendors as a team, and how best to be able to touch up your makeup throughout the day (esp those lips!) and making sure you look fresh! She takes care to listen to her clients' needs rather than choosing what style to use. Jacki is just one of the kindest, most lighthearted and fun wedding professionals out there. She would be a great addition to your wedding team and be an amazing way to start your day!

We are a premium hostess supply and event planning company out of St. Joseph, Missouri. As a former event planner in Phoenix, Arizona, I have the skills and expertise to provide unique luxury experiences, both big and small.

Liz was a crucial piece to our wedding day! She created a unique and custom seating chart that we still use as a beautiful piece in our home today. Liz was able to assist and coordinate with our florist to cultivate beautiful pieces throughout our venue. Her final touches on the little details throughout the venue, tied everything together to make the wedding we always pictured. Liz is the ultimate choice when searching for your next event. She really, REALLY can do it all!
