Coastal Rose Events

I trusted her and the team completely to make day of decisions for me and if anything went wrong I had no idea and did not notice! The timeline was so smooth and nothing felt rushed, which was a huge relief and made the day that much better! I highly recommend trusting Emily with your wedding! It truly was the most magical day and Emily played a huge part in making it so special!

which was exactly what I was looking for! I really wanted our wedding day to feel relaxed (not chaotic or stressful) and they 100% contributed to creating that feeling for the day. From the first time meeting with them they made me feel good about my vision for our wedding and they never made me feel like what I wanted wasn't good enough or "wedding-y" enough (which I had felt with some other planners I had initially talked with.) Our wedding was very small (40ish people, backyard reception, close friends & family only) and we kept it very true to us. At every step they really focused on bringing my vision to life and taking care of all of the logistics that were stressing me out so I could just enjoy it. They took care of every detail, were very responsive along the way, and answered every question I had (even if it was something small.) Plus at the actual ceremony and reception, it felt more like having extra friends or family there, not just a vendor that we had hired. I truly can't say enough good things about them! I'm so grateful that we chose to hire them, and for everything they did. They made the day run smoothly with literally not a single hiccup. And put everything together so beautifully. My husband and I can't stop talking about how perfect our day was!! If you are on the fence about hiring a coordinator, it was definitely one of the best decisions we made. More specifically hiring Emily & Tara :) We wholeheartedly recommend them!

ing process—no question ever went unanswered, and her positive energy made the entire experience so enjoyable. She brought clarity and direction when we needed it most and helped us make confident decisions every step of the way. Emily and Tara handled every detail with such calm professionalism, and because of them, our wedding day was completely stress-free. We truly didn’t have to worry about a thing. Everything ran seamlessly, and we were able to be fully present and enjoy every moment with our loved ones. Coastal Rose Events went above and beyond to bring our vision to life. If you’re looking for a team who genuinely cares, Emily and Tara are the dream team!

rofessional but also incredibly thoughtful and genuinely invested in making our day perfect. She was endlessly patient with our indecisiveness, always offering gentle guidance and support without ever making us feel pressured. Emily brought a calm, reassuring presence to the process and consistently thought ahead—even anticipating small details that hadn’t even crossed my mind, but made such a difference in how smoothly everything ran. Her vendor recommendations were fantastic and truly helped us build a team we could trust. And on the wedding day itself, Emily and her associate made everything seamless. We didn’t have to worry about a single thing—she had it all under control, and we were able to just enjoy every moment. Her behind-the-scenes work added so much value and peace of mind. We are beyond grateful for Emily and Coastal Rose Events. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your wedding with the same care and attention as if it were her own, Emily is that person.

d on how much they enjoy working with Emily. She gave us recommendations and suggestions whenever we had questions, handled logistics with care, and was nothing but kind and helpful on our wedding day. We loved working with Emily and highly recommend Coastal Rose Events for anyone looking for a wedding planner!

was a trusted advisor throughout. She gave me friggin awesome vendor referrals and is a very cool cat under pressure. She's an all around wonderful person and can put on a stunning once in a lifetime event!

ding in California while we were at home in Chicago. She thought of everything before we even knew it was an option. She is incredibly talented, easy to work with and organized. She handled all tough conversations and let us feel at peace on our big day. I overslept by hours on the morning of, and she made it seem like everyone else was just early and we had plenty of time :) I can't thank her enough for the kindness that she showed our families. I could not imagine our day without her!

, and genuine empathy that made me feel completely at ease. Her communication was impeccable—she kept us informed and checked in regularly, making sure every detail was perfectly in place. When it came to the design process, she embraced my vision with such enthusiasm, giving thoughtful input and seamlessly incorporating her own expertise. On the day of, her hands-on approach allowed me to be fully present, free from any stress or worry. Knowing she was behind the scenes handling every detail meant so much—I could simply enjoy each moment, which was a gift I’ll forever be grateful for. Emily is a true gem, and I can’t recommend Coastal Rose Events enough to anyone looking for a coordinator who’s not only talented but also truly cares. Thank you, Emily, for making our day so incredibly smooth, beautiful, and unforgettable!

ould be. She was always super responsive and available whenever I needed any help! She really gets to know you as a couple and listens to how you envision your day all while providing invaluable suggestions and guidance. She is very knowledgeable about all things Santa Barbara and always had amazing recommendations for us I fully trusted. She is very organized and always helped me stay on track without feeling overwhelmed. She made our vision come to life better than I could have ever imagined and truly goes above and beyond to make sure everything is perfect on wedding day. I have never felt more special and loved, and I owe a big part of that to Emily and her team 🤍 I could never be able to thank Emily enough for everything she did for us!

ns when it comes to standards of service. I can say with 100% certainty this was the best money we spent of all of our vendors. Emily is punctual and kind and overall just a wonderful person. She is a savant on all things Santa Barbara and can provide insight that you really can't get anywhere else. She is detailed where needed and allowed us to express ourselves creatively too. She is just what you need on your wedding day and I could not have done my day without her. If you are even slightly interested in having a seamless, worry free day give Emily a call. She will change your life!

de us towards the special day we wanted. We genuinely couldn't have hoped for a better partner in making our wedding as great as it was. If you are in Santa Barbara (or the area), I can absolutely promise you'll love working with Coastal Rose too.

rdinating the nuances that a small wedding brought, and Emily was the person to help guide us. We are not from Santa Barbara, and having Emily by our side as not only the resident SB expert, but also an all around positive advocate for us was one of the best decisions we made. Her deep knowledge of the area and its vendors was invaluable. We trusted every vendor she sent our way, and helped to make those tough decisions no brainers. She provided us with insights and suggestions that we would have never been able to find on our own and was the utmost professional the entire time. Communication with Emily was easy and seamless. She is extremely organized and keeps everything logged. She knew exactly what questions to ask, took the time to understand what was important to us, and listened – all of this helped us clarify our own vision for the day. She encouraged us to prioritize our desires and preferences, even if they strayed from tradition. Emily was a rock star on the day of – we talked through the way we wanted certain items to look and feel but she really brought everything to life in a way I couldn’t have imagined. I had zero stress that day, never once did I worry about a thing. She had taken care of it all! Our wedding was everything we hoped for and more, and we have Emily to thank for that. She went above and beyond to make our day not just successful, but truly special. We cannot recommend her highly enough.

verything was perfect - including a last minute stop at Trader Joe’s to grab roses for our recessional petal toss. She’s organized, detailed, supportive, and has great energy. Communication with her throughout the process was easy and pleasant and I’m so happy we decided to hire her as our day of coordinator. It gave us so much peace of mind. Thanks Emily + Coastal Rose! :)

everything turned out, saying it couldn’t have been any better had I been planning for 2 years. She is extremely organized, has great planning tools, communicates well, and above all has great taste. She directed me to a wonderful set of vendors, who all beamed about how great Emily is to work with, which speaks volumes about her professionalism and demeanor. I felt comfortable, calm, and confident throughout the entire process and especially on my wedding day. Cannot more highly recommend. Thank you, Emily!

on her face. She kept us on track and communicated with all of our vendors. Her timeline was perfect and shared with everyone so that everyone was on track. Emily has such

off and she immediately had a solution and had everything prepared and ready to go for our guests and made me feel SO at ease throughout the whole process. She’s truly a gem to work with! Couldn’t recommend her more.

experience seamless; she far exceeded our expectations, while always exhibiting professionalism and cheerfulness. Emily worked closely with the vendors so we, literally, had nothing to worry about – to just enjoy the day. Emily is very detail-oriented, focusing on even the most minute detail. I can’t thank Emily enough for making my daughter’s “big day” absolutely perfect – Emily – you really did. Thank you!

whole planning process. Recommending amazing vendors that were exceptional on my big day. She is very professional, sweet, and is great at making fast decisions. We planned on the majority of my reception to be outdoors but it was too cold, and Emily was able to move everyone swiftly inside without any guests noticing. She even spent at least 10 minutes trying to get my stuck veil out of my head! Lastly and very importantly, she made sure my husband and I were fed and had a drink in our hand the entire evening. She is just amazing, can't recommend her enough :)

, Emily made us feel comfortable, heard, and calm. My husband and I wanted a smaller and more intimate wedding (60 people) but to still have many of the aspects we always see at a larger wedding. Emily never judged what we wanted and only welcomed and encouraged our vision for our day. She is patient, detailed, responsive, positive, smart, knows Santa Barbara and the surrounding areas like the back of her hand, and is a genuine joy to be around. She helped provide ideas, encouragement, and support throughout all of the planning. She was always on top of everything when we met with just her and with vendors, and helped us ask the questions needed during those meetings. We walked out of every call/meeting with her feeling less stressed and more excited! I can't even tell you how perfectly the day of our wedding went. From start to finish, the Coastal Rose Team made sure everything went smoothly, was organized, communicated with our vendors to make everything look perfect, stayed on track with the timeline she created, and communicated to us and our families throughout the day (even just to make sure we were doing great and if we needed anything). Our day turned out better than we could have imagined in every way, and it is because we had Coastal Rose Events on our team! We feel truly lucky to have had Emily on our team for our wedding day - it could not have been as amazing as it was without her help with planning and coordinating! I highly recommend Coastal Rose Events for your special day, big or small!

itive, takes on challenge with poise, and is always willing to offer her insight and help. Emily helped us navigate some complex details and challenging dynamics and was professional, warm and just amazing throughout the whole process. Emily is a talented event planner and wonderful person and the Coastal Rose Events team will make your event planning process a million times easier. Hire her now! You won't regret it. :)
