Megan Rose Events were our wedding planner and did an absolutely fantastic job. Initially I didn't want to spend the money on a planner, and by the time we had our wedding I though...
t it was the best money we spent on the entire budget! She took so much off our plate that it made the whole experience relatively low stress, and we were able to actually stay present in the moment and truly enjoy our wedding experience.
It is clearly not her first rodeo. She is so great at planning, communicating and setting expectations, and knowing what to focus on at what times, and stayed sensitive to our needs the entire time.
Take it from someone who usually does everything themselves and didnt think we needed help, she saved us so much time and frustration, plus she knows what you dont from experience, that if you can afford it I would highly recommend.
We got a better end product and made the entire experience enjoyable!
Megan and Nelson were absolutely incredible. We had our wedding as a destination wedding in Santa Barbara, and gave Megan essentially complete creative control for our vendors and ...
potential venues. Her recommendations were fantastic and her meticulous planning helped us feel at ease planning a wedding across the country. Megan and Nelson created the best wedding weekend we could have imagined, and we absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for a wedding planner.
I couldn’t recommend Megan more for a wedding planner, especially for destination weddings. She helped bring my vision to life and was so easy to work with. We put together my drea...
m of a wedding from Texas to take place in Southern California and her communication and precise execution is what makes her stand out from the rest. She is thorough with each and very detail and very calm, something I admire about her. We had to move all wedding activities inside the week of the wedding due to rain and she calmed my nerves and made sure our wedding gorgeous as the original plan. I’m so grateful to have had her as my wedding planner and can genuinely say she will be your wedding guardian angel throughout your entire wedding planning process!
Megan did an incredible job planning, designing, and coordinating our wedding. She made the entire process so easy, and our wedding day was truly stress-free. Megan is incredibly p...
rofessional and on top of things. I would recommend her to anyone having a wedding on the central coast!

y took the time to understand our vision. We didn't have to worry about a thing on our wedding day and felt confident going into it knowing we had thought of every detail beforehand. I highly recommend them for your wedding planning needs!
Nelson and Megan are more thank just wedding planners; I called them wedding fairies. They poured their heart and souls in making sure our wedding day was perfect.
Their absolute ...
professionalism, attention to detail, seamless planning process and systems (yes, they have the most amazing dashboard and tool EVER) proved us that we made the right decision by choosing them.
From day one, they understood our vision and brought it to life orchestrating a magical wedding weekend that impressed all our families and friends.
Words can’t express how thankful we are for the love and dedication their team put in to make our wedding the best day of our lives.
If you want to have a luxurious wedding without the stress of wedding planning, enjoy the day and make sure EVERY single detail is taken care of, Megan Rose Events is THE planner to work with. I can assure you won’t regret it!
We worked with Megan (partial planning package) for our recent wedding in Santa Barbara and had a fantastic experience!
Megan is friendly and easy to work with, super knowledgeabl...
e and not afraid to offer opinions/feedback, detail-oriented and organized, reliable and responsive, and commanding in an approachable yet take-charge way.
As a Type A person who is extremely organized and detail-oriented, it's rare for me to trust someone enough with so many details/logistics, but I felt very confident with Megan! We were able to enjoy and not stress so much on our wedding day because of Megan and her team.
We especially love how Megan strikes just the right balance of listening and incorporating our ideas, as well as offering her own suggestions based on her extensive experience. She has a great intuition for what will work best but stays true to your vision/wishes.
Thank you Megan! Our wedding was so amazing and a huge part of that is because of you!
"Megan Rose Events was the best decision we could have made for our wedding. We had a very tight timeline for our wedding planning for our wedding at the Rosewood Miramar, we could...
not have chosen a more perfect partner. Megan personally handled all the planning for our wedding, and as she was already scheduled for another wedding, she and passed the execution of our wedding rehearsal and actual wedding to KB Events, which occurred perfectly and flawlessly. As we interacted with the rest of our vendors, it quickly became known that Megan has an incredible reputation in the wedding industry which we witnessed first hand. Megan Rose Events far exceeded our expectations and know she will do the same for you. Megan is extremely polite, organized, professional and does many of the behind the scene tasks herself in order to not inundate you with details. Megan has a lot of heart and we look forward to remaining in touch with her as a friend for years to come.
I highly recommend her for your next event, and know it will be absolutely perfect as ours was!"
Megan is OUTSTANDING. We took a while to decide if we wanted to move forward with a destination wedding, and Megan patiently waited, took our phone calls, and gave us everything we...
needed to decide if it was the right move for us. Because of her help, booking a Santa Barbara wedding became the clear choice.
Throughout the planning process, Megan struck the perfect balance--she listened to our vision, proposed vendor options, then coordinated with those vendors once they were picked. She has a great eye for design, and she knows all of the perfect touches to elevate the wedding while being budget-conscious.
Our favorite thing that Megan brought to the table was organization. Her spreadsheets, timelines, design deck, and online portal kept us afloat through a stressful year of planning. On the wedding weekend, everything went off without a hitch because of her meticulous minute-by-minute planning. Every single detail was fine-tuned beforehand, and all we had to do was show up and let everything happen around us.
Megan wears so many hats--organizer, designer, counselor, cheerleader, juggler, enforcer, and emergency tailor! We can't imagine our wedding without her and we will be forever grateful!
From beginning to end, Megan was absolutely fantastic! While wedding planning, Megan connected us with a great selection of vendors, even when some of our requests were super speci...
fic. Megan was very organized and always prepared to handle all of our questions. She guided us seamlessly throughout the planning process and we didn’t feel stressed!
We had a particularly difficult week leading up to our wedding (extremely terrible weather for the area), and Megan was plugged in throughout it all, helping us to navigate some last minute changes to accommodate the weather. On our wedding day, the weather continued to be terrible (surprise!) and Megan stayed calm, dealt with even more changes to the plan, and managed our vendors.
Our wedding was spectacular, our guests were raving, and we couldn’t have done it without her! Highly recommend Megan!
I know I can only give 5/5 but Megan deserves 100/100 stars. Where do I even begin? Megan made the wedding of our dreams come to life, point blank. From our initial phone call with...
her, my husband and I knew she would be the perfect person to help us plan and bring everything to fruition. As all brides know, planning a wedding can be very overwhelming, especially when you're also handling a full time job, family, friends, LIFE, etc. Thankfully, Megan's experience, efficiency, and overall positive energy took the stress out of the whole process. She provided us with several options for each vendor, gave us advice and guidance when needed, and made sure that everything down to the last detail was organized and fool-proof. Our wedding day was perfect. Like, actually perfect. And it was all because Megan was by our side the entire time. I cannot recommend her enough to anyone planning their dream wedding. THANK YOU, MEGAN! WE LOVE YOU!!!
Megan was our planner for our wedding in Santa Barbara. She's been working in the industry locally for years and knows every location, band, vendor, and detail inside and out. Havi...
ng heard so many wedding panic stories, partnering with Megan as our planner was such a calming influence - she has amazing taste, is a helpful guide to every aspect of the wedding; she's decisive when necessary, but is also very easygoing. While any wedding is stressful leading up to the day, I can honestly say that we felt almost no planning-related anxiety, especially the day-of, when it felt like everything progressed with zero required bride/groom input. It truly made the day itself extremely special, memorable, and fun - the best day of our lives - the way it's supposed to be.
Thank you Megan for shepherding us through such a wonderful experience!
Megan was absolutely amazing. Her attention to detail and ability to handle a complex venue with over 15 different vendors blew my expectations out of the water. I would hire her a...
gain in a heartbeat and highly recommend her to anyone.
Absolutely amazing wedding planner. 5/5 stars.

ided options, timelines, and necessary context.
Our wedding was a big success thanks in large part to Megan's guidance and planning.
Megan was absolutely incredible! I truly cannot say enough great things about her but I will try to explain how awesome she is!
We are from Kansas City and were planning a destina...
tion wedding in Santa Barbara, so we decided a wedding planner would be helpful as we didn't know the area well. I totally underestimated how much work planning a destination wedding is, but Megan made it SO much easier.
She has a previous background in engineering and it shows! She thinks of issues and resolves them before they even become issues. Megan is so experienced in her field and has great recommendations for vendors that would best fit your wedding and budget.
Megan was always on top of setting up meetings with us to plan our wedding, responded to emails promptly, and was always pleasant and easy to get along with. She is detail oriented but never made us feel overwhelmed during the wedding planning process. If we didn't know something, she gave us the tools to help us make an informed decision.
The Aisle Planner software that she and the client use breaks up the work into manageable sections and is easy to use. It also helps to keep you and the planner on the same page with what is getting done and whose responsibility it is.
After one phone call with Megan we were totally sold on booking her. And it was by far the best money we spent on our wedding! We got so many compliments from our parents, wedding guests, other vendors, etc. on our choice of wedding planner. Everyone could tell just from observing Megan work that she is organized and had everything under control!
She helped us plan our dream wedding and we could not have done it without her! I would 1000% recommend Megan Rose Events to anyone looking for a wedding planner!
Working with Megan and her team was one of the best decisions we made when it came to our wedding. We selected a venue in Santa Barbara that allowed us to source all our vendors wh...
ich sounded perfect, until we realized how many vendors are needed in order to make a wedding happen. I am usually a very organized and detail oriented person but when it came to our wedding I had no idea where to begin and knew that we could not plan this on our own. Megan guided us through the entire process and provided suggestions for each of our vendors. One of the things I loved about Megan was that she was actually based in Santa Barbara. The other planners we had reached out to were all located in Los Angeles county and lacked the knowledge that Megan had of the area. Megan helped make our dream wedding a reality. She helped us create a mood board for what we wanted out of our day and brought it to life. We felt like Megan really understood our vision and did not force us to add anything we did not want. I cannot recommend Megan and her team enough. Our day would not have been possible without her.
Megan was SO incredible to work with. My original wedding date was for Sept 2020 and we postponed to Sept 2021. Megan was so helpful in navigating a truly unprecedented situation. ...
She did so much heavy lifting to make that process smooth for us, and helped out when we didn't know the right avenue. She was incredibly organized, professional, and helpful. There were many times I said here's what I want and she said ok, you can do that - here are your considerations. Many times I changed my mind based on her feedback of what the consequences would be. That's the type of planner you need - you have no clue what you don't know, but she does. She's so thorough and things don't fall through the cracks because she makes sure you follow through with whatever. I had the best time working with her, and I cannot recommend her enough.
When it got nearly to the finish line, she took over all communication with my vendor team. She made it so easy to just show up. I also had a large bridal party - 11 on each side, plus a jr bridesmaid, 2 flower girls and a ring bearer. To manage a semi rowdy group like that all day is a lot, and she did a fantastic job. There weren't any hiccups on the wedding day, or if there were, I wasn't aware. It was perfect.
Megan is so responsive, professional, thorough, and detail-oriented. She's a great person and was so pleasant to work with. I highly recommend her - do yourself a favor and look no further.
Megan and her team are the BEST and if you are considering having your wedding in the Santa Barbara, Megan Rose Events is a MUST. Megan is thoughtful, thorough and organized and wi...
th her help, the overwhelming process of planning a wedding out of state during COVID became “easy” and even fun. With Megan’s help, we were able to create a truly magical and perfect day. Thank you again Megan!
Megan!
Thank you so much for everything you did for our wedding weekend and everything you did along the way to make our special day turn out the way it did.
Megan took our ide...
as, refined them, and made them reality. She pushed us to look deep into what we wanted and assembled the perfect team of vendors while being mindful of our budget. We were a very indecisive couple, but she helped us along the whole way from planning our wedding day timeline to creating a cohesive theme.
She was patient with us, our families, and our friends while at the same time keeping everything on schedule. We appreciate the thought and care that she showed every step of the way. It truly was a dream wedding for the two of us.
Megan and her team are so organized, sweet, and seemed to always be on top of things! She helped us navigate our way through COVID and we honestly would have been so lost without her and her vast knowledge of all the updates during that time. Megan is brilliant at what she does and you won't regret bringing her on to your wedding vendor team!
Megan is incredible. And that is an understatement. I was nearing two months until the wedding day when I hired Megan (I received her information from a friend who also raved about...
her as the wedding planner for her wedding) and she really delivered and got things done. She is so organized and professional, not to mention kind and personable. If there were any hiccups leading up to the wedding/day of the wedding, we never knew as everything went without a hitch and turned out above and beyond what we imagined. Thank you so much!
I unfortunately didn’t get a chance to use Megan as my planner because the date I ultimately picked was one she had already booked, but she was so incredible I needed to leave her...
a review anyways. Even though I had not booked her, Megan went out of her way to be helpful and insightful. I was really struggling to pick a venue, and Megan spent so much time with me on the phone and email giving me things to consider, useful information and invaluable insight. She was never hesitant to answer any questions I had, was super organized, knowledgeable, kind and beyond helpful. I am sad not to have the chance to use her for my wedding, but if you have the chance to book her, do it ASAP. Don’t make the same mistake I did. She really is incredible.
When we initially hired Megan to help plan our wedding it was the beginning of Covid-19. Our goal was to have someone help with the contracts and interpret what we said we wanted ...
into reality. As the pandemic stretched on longer than we expected I became more grateful to have Megan in our corner as we came up with alternative plans. She listened to our concerns and questions, gave her input and expertise, but let us make the final decisions without feeling pressured. Any time I had a little stress creeping up she quickly eased my concerns. She always responded in a prompt timeline and was amazing at keeping us in the loop with all of the vendors. We had gone from a 100 person wedding in March 2021 to a 10 person minimony with a reception for the original guest list planned for our first anniversary March 2022. Our minimony was so amazing and beautiful!!! She definitely brought our vision to life!
As the bride I was able to relax and enjoy the entire day! Megan and her team seamlessly took care of everything! My husband and I felt so taken care of that day! I highly recommend Megan for anyone looking for a full service wedding planner in the Santa Barbara area! Compared to other brides that I know I feel like I had minimal stress, and was able to enjoy the wedding planning process (even during the pandemic!) thanks to Megan and her team!
Megan was extremely helpful as our planner as we navigated how to execute a special, fun, yet safe "covid" wedding. She came to the table with great advice and kept us on track. Be...
ing from out of state, she acted as our boots on the ground and made sure our weekend was seamless!
There are no words to simply explain how incredible Megan is. From the beginning of planning our original May wedding and then having to change the entire thing around; she has bee...
n nothing short of patient, understanding, trustworthy, and handled it all with a calm and positive demeanor. Megan was always available when we needed her; she is prompt, pays attention to details both large and small, and is beyond creative. Any thought was turned into an idea and she made it our reality. Her kind heart, professionalism, and honesty allowed us to bond from the very beginning. We had two separate venues for ceremony and reception, and Megan was able to literally ease me through the process and ensure everything was set up perfectly; and it exceeded any expectation. She is well connected in the industry, knows who to hire for what, and assisted in creating a dream team of vendors. She caught multiple mistakes other vendors made, and if it weren’t for her half of my guests wouldn’t have a place to sit!!!!! She listened to what we asked, what our ideas were, and executed the plan better than we could have ever imagined or wished. If we had to do this all over again, we wouldn’t change a thing! Megan planned the most memorable, special, and truly a dream day for us and we can’t send enough gratitude her way.
Megan is the ultimate professional. She's highly organized, and thorough. She never misses a detail, and if she does you wouldn't know it. Megan is a dream to work with and I would...
never hesitate to recommend her to couples. If you're looking for a seamless, stress free experience then Megan is your girl.
I highly recommend working with Megan for your wedding or event. She is proactive, professional, and so amazing at what she does. Planner extraordinaire!
Megan made all our wedding day dreams come true! Like most of us, my husband and I had a Pinterest board full of ideas but no sure way to bring them all to life. We found Megan an...
d she was an absolute lifesaver! Megan was always prepared for our meetings and kept us informed, on track with timelines, and honestly, she made the dreaded wedding planning process fun! She was always focused on our priorities for the day and supported us in bringing to life the wedding projects we felt strongly about. I was able to relax and get ready for the events of our wedding weekend knowing that everything was taken care of. Megan's fun, easygoing spirit made her easy to work with and I looked forward to our meetings each time. We could not recommend her heartily enough. Our vision for our perfect wedding was fully realized thanks to Megan. If we did everything over again, choosing to work with her would still be our first big decision! We could not be more grateful to the tremendous care and commitment with which she approaches her events.
