About this vendor

A Rose Upon is an El Cerrito, CA-based wedding officiant offering heartfelt ceremonies for celebrating couples. Amanda Rosenborg is a friendly, personable, and joyous professional who creates heartfelt, eloquent ceremonies infused with authenticity, emotion, and joy. I love co-creating the most meaningful ceremony for you. I am sought after for my way of asking questions to learn before bringing suggestions and structure in, as well as my attention to the finishing details. No two ceremonies I've done have been alike. I started officiating weddings because I was asked to -- to my sheer surprise. I thought, "Why me?" And now, nearly a decade later, I can't imagine my life without officiating weddings. It's an honor I take seriously as a designer who cares about rituals, meaning, and love. You can reach out to A Rose Upon today to find out more about adding Amanda's talents to your all-important big day.

Working with Amanda and having her officiate our wedding ceremony was the best decision we made in our entire wedding planning journey. From the first moment Amanda found out she w...
ould be facilitating our ceremony, she kicked into gear. She has the most amazing balance of clear and intentional tactics with welcoming yet space-giving energy. She gave us some homework to think about what we wanted in our ceremony and our vows. We felt guided and cared for at every step, yet she was drawing out of us unspoken hopes and visions we had for our big day. It was really important to me to have both my brother and brother-in-law-to-be involved and Amanda swept in and helped align the brothers on what they would bring to the table and how to organize. She listened to every whim, she helped bring to the surface the most important things, and she made our day in front of our closest family and friends the most special and memorable experience we could have ever imagined. I am so grateful for her skills. The way she lights up when she gets you talking about what matters to you is one of the best things ever. If you feel a kindred spirit when you meet Amanda, know that you have met perfect person to officiate your wedding.

o our day. Amanda guided us through the entire process - getting us organized, having us complete a thoughtful questionnaire and even helping us write our vows (especially for my husband who waited until the day-of to start…). Amanda made everything feel easy and personal. During the ceremony, she struck the perfect balance between funny stories and meaningful moments that truly reflected who we are as a couple. On the day of, Amanda stepped in wherever needed, kept everything moving smoothly and made sure we were calm, prepared and present. Our ceremony was very “us”, because she took the time to understand our relationship and what we wanted for the big day. We are endlessly grateful to Amanda for the love and care she put into our wedding. She made it unforgettable.
