Rob is an INCREDIBLE wedding planner! We gave Rob 6 months and a number of non-traditional wedding requests (e.g., we wanted a Michelin-star quality vegan tasting menu for the reception) and he knocked it out of the park! Rob was so fun to work with and had a plan for everything. He provided a ton of guidance and had multiple back up options any time something fell through. He gave us excellent advice on what to skip, where to save money, and which vendors would meet our particular requirements. The wedding was perfect - everything was beautiful, executed flawlessly, and most important, really fun! Planning a wedding is a ton of work, especially when you're new in town. Rob did such an incredible job, we wouldn't have been able to do it without him!

We hired Rob for our daughter's wedding. He was WONDERFUL! Throughout the planning we really appreciated his guidance with vendor recommendations & selection, contract reviews, helpful checklists, and his responsiveness to all of our questions. He also scheduled timely check-ins along the way. When the wedding weekend arrived, he ran everything so seamlessly! He did everything from directing the rehearsal, maintaining vendor communication & coordination, setting up decor, keeping us on the pre-determined timeline for the day, all the way to packing up at the end of the night. He took so much stress out of the weekend for us and delivered a perfect day for our families. Everything looked stunning. This is the easiest 5 star review. I HIGHLY recommend Rob to anyone planning a wedding!

I am truly so grateful for Rob of Oso In Love’s support and expertise with coordinating our wedding this year! It was such a gift to work with such a kind and professional company. As my now husband and I started planning our wedding with my mom over a year ago, we quickly realized there was no way we could be in multiple places at once and still enjoy this once in a lifetime special day. And we were graciously guided to having a zoom call with Rob who happily gave us all the support we needed. We wanted a small family wedding, about 50 people, and we planned to hire all local companies. Rob effortlessly created schedules and contacts for these companies to coordinate the day so we could just be in the pre-wedding feels and personal prep! As we approached this big day, everything moved with ease as my husband and I enjoyed our final days as fiancés. Any questions we had (and there were a lot) were kindly supported by Oso In Love as the final countdown was here.
On our actual wedding day, Rob went above and beyond helping us with everything from making sure the location was unlocked to greeting caterer, cake baker, photographer, florist, welcoming guests with my husband as I got ready, setting up the space, and making sure we had everything we needed. He helped direct the wedding party (which was sooo helpful because we chose not to have a rehearsal dinner as many people came from out of town just our wedding weekend). Rob even helped be our MC and we created our own wedding playlist and first dance which he helped orchestrate and supported us until the very end of the night with a special sparkler send off we wanted and helped with clean up and key return. It was truly the best day of our life. And it would not have gone the way we dreamed without Rob’s support! Thank you Oso In Love for going above and beyond!

Rob was amazing to work with! He kept in touch with is frequently throughout the planning process and really helped us pull the day together, which wound up to be a perfect day and evening. Sarah worked the event the day of and was absolutely amazing, she kept everything flowing throughout the day and did a wonderful job with setting up/decorating and tear down. I highly recommend Oso in Love if you want to take that "day of stress" off your shoulders. I didn't have to worry about a thing.

We cannot recommend Rob enough! We knew from our first call we had found the right person to guide us through the new, and often overwhelming, wedding journey. Rob was extremely helpful and always met us where we were at. He was wonderful communicator and always had an answer to our question or took it upon himself to figure it out. He was an excellent thought partner and was instrumental in helping us find our vendors. We were able to tell him our priorities, what wasn’t important to us, and budget, and he was able to connect us with amazing people.
He also helped us with some rentals and additional day of support. Everyone within his community he brought along for the ride amazing and made the day even more special. He has a very calming energy and having Rob there on the big day put everyone at ease. Cannot recommend him highly enough to anyone lucky bough to be able to work with him!

I want to start out by saying I cannot remember the last time I have written a review for something but Rob from OSO in Love is someone I must brag about. Because of Rob's experience, he was able to guide us along the entire process and give us suggestions on how to make the day go by seamlessly. I mean TRULY our wedding day would not have been the magical day it was without Rob and his attention to detail, thoughtfulness, and immaculate coordination. He's not simply a wedding coordinator, but someone I fully trusted to execute our vision and has a way of taking a tremendous amount of worry and stress off my husband and I's plates. Thank you so much Rob! <3

We worked with Rob and Jenny for day-of coordination and they truly made our lives so much easier! We had a few meeting with them leading up to our wedding day, and then Jenny was on-site with us for the whole event. She was so easy to work with and so helpful, handling all of the tasks and taking care of details that I'm sure I would have forgotten had it not been for her.
Oso In Love is the best!

We hired Rob to help curate our wedding in September 2023. From the outset, we had a fairly strict budget and timeline (6 months from hiring to wedding day) we wanted to try to stick to, and Rob was happy to work with us to get everything we wanted to have within that budget and timeline. In advance of the wedding, he helped us with choosing a venue, getting hotel blocks set up for the day, and generally coordinating and tracking all the tasks that needed to get done. Closer to the wedding date, some specifics he helped us with were ideating and procuring color-coordinated decorations, dinnerware, and coming up with a day-of timeline of events for our mixed-Indian-American wedding. Throughout the lead up, he and Jenny were proactive and communicative with us and helped us ensure that we were in good shape.
On the day of, Rob and Jenny worked extremely hard, mostly behind the scenes, to get everything set up and torn down on schedule. Despite having our ceremony in one location and reception in another, everything went perfectly. Rob even helped with some of the cues during our ceremony without us giving much notice, and everything went without a hitch. Thank you so much for helping to create such an amazing unforgettable day for us!

Hiring Rob made our wedding planning process so smooth and we felt so supported throughout the whole thing. He completed every single aspect of his contract w/ skill and competence. He’s a fun person to work w/ and he contributed a lot of excellent ideas that were formative for shaping the feel of our event and making sure all of our guests had an excellent time.

We took a very DIY-approach to the details of our wedding, knowing that we wanted to keep things simple and allow the beauty of our venue to stand out. With that in mind, my husband and I had no intention to hire a wedding planner of any kind. That said, something like 6 months before we realized that the event coordination our venue offered might not completely cover the needs we had (mainly to set out the simplistic decor on the tables), and in a panic we decided to hire a day-of coordinator. We had such a great call with Rob amidst that slight panic, who reassured us and told us that his associate Jenny was available to work our wedding. Leading up to the wedding, Jenny and Rob went above and beyond in helping us with our timeline, following up with our vendors, and giving us seasoned advice. Day of, Jenny was reassuring, fun, and helped make sure everyone was where they needed to be at all times and that the smallest details were attended to. We wish we could work with Jenny and Rob again! And for any couples on the fence about hiring at least day of coordination services... if you can at all afford it, it is money well spent. The relief and peace I felt on our wedding day knowing that I didn't need to check on anything myself was worth the money and then some. Thanks Jenny and Rob!!!

I thought I could plan my wedding myself, and then as we were approaching the wedding with only 6 months to go I was in complete panic and needed help. I reached out to Rob and he jumped on board to help immediately. Rob helped me bring my many intricate ideas together to look like the most fabulous decor. One situation in particular, we were struggling with our cater. Our venue let us know they too were having issues with our cater. Rob reached out on my behalf and essentially cleaned up a really giant mess that another company made. I can’t tell you how helpful and relieving this was. The amount of work and stress he took off my shoulders was insane. We loved working with Rob and hope we get to work with him again in the future.

We hired Rob to serve as our wedding officiant and he was the perfect match for us. He listened to our requests and made suggestions as appropriate, but at the end of the day he perfectly encapsulated everything we wanted and more. From keeping our wedding party wrangled during our rehearsal to making sure we stayed smiling during the ceremony, to being a fellow pop-punk fan, Rob delivered and then some. Rob is down to earth and wrote our ceremony from the heart— there wasn’t a dry eye in the room! We recommend OSO in Love for any and all of your wedding needs - thank you again, Papa Bear!

OSO In Love did a fantastic job serving as the day-of coordinator for our wedding in July, 2023. Rob Anderson and his company epitomized friendliness and accommodation for our needs as the couple, and with consideration for the needs of our families and wedding party.
OSO In Love worked tirelessly on the day of our wedding to get everything just right, and coordinating with our vendors. The set up was fabulous with high attention to detail, we were able to focus on our big day instead of performing any hands-on set up. Tear-down was accomplished efficiently, ensuring that our families were able to leave at a reasonable time with confidence that everything was taken care of while we enjoyed the afterparty with our guests.
OSO In Love’s graphic design was very well done, and helped save us the stress of finding another vendor to produce that element.
Everything met or exceeded our expectations, and we could not be more pleased. We will be recommending OSO In Love Wedding & Event Curators to friends and family in the future. Do yourself and your family a favor and hire OSO in Love!

We were really pleased to have Rob as both the officiant and DJ at our wedding. We didn't have any strong traditions to base our ceremony on, but Rob gave us plenty of options to choose from and delivered a great, modern ceremony that spoke to our values. Some of our guests even commented we must have known each other for a while. He also offered a song planner that made it easy for us to choose music for every occasion throughout the evening, from the processional to dancing, and his sound and light setup was great. He's been involved in all aspects of wedding planning, so he knows exactly what he's doing. I've run into Rob around town since our wedding and he's simply a nice guy.

We hired Rob as our Day of Coordinator. His package was reasonably priced, and he provided some resources to help us organize our wedding materials. We also love his consistent bear/oso theme!
He was very prompt in his arrival to our venue, and he needed very minimal direction. Once he was told where things were for set up and where the Bride & Groom were, he was on his way. As the Bride, I barely heard from him on the day of the wedding (good thing!) aside from making sure we got through the essentials such as signing our documents. He really took initiative when it came to cleaning the space even if it was a task the venue was going to handle themselves. He kept himself busy even if it was outside his usual task scope. He even allowed my florists' team to leave before the room swap as he took over moving some of our florals.
Whenever we did speak to him, he was very professional, patient, but fun. The day went smoothly without my husband and I having to step in which really made it so we did not have to stress about the logistics of the wedding.
We definitely recommend Rob for anyone who is looking for a coordinator!

We feel truly lucky to have had the opportunity to work with Rob on our "Starry Winter Wonderland" wedding. Everything went absolutely perfectly thanks to Rob's expertise. One of the most important things to us was that our wedding feel personal and uniquely ours. Rob did such a good job listening to us and not only bringing our vision to life, but elevating it. He immediately understood what we were going for, and was our partner at every step of the way. He offered expert guidance and had connections to other vendors, services, and supplies that helped us save a ton of money. That left more than enough room in the budget for some charming little touches he dreamed up - like a "Warm Welcome" hot cocoa bar when guests arrived or a "starry night" backdrop with hanging Edison bulbs. Rob also designed and printed all of our paper materials, and they all looked phenomenal. His creativity and eye for design were so valuable and appreciated.
He also, of course, helped make sure we got all our vendor contracts in place by the right time, and made sure nothing got missed or fell through the cracks. Wedding planning is overwhelming (more than we realized at the outset), but we felt confident knowing Rob was there to advise and direct.
Day of, Rob handled setup and teardown in addition to all the day-of coordination. The space looked perfect and everything went off without a hitch! Our parents could not stop talking about how amazing Rob was - he handled everything behind the scenes and we simply had the time of our lives, without any worries. We even heard a few stories from guests after the fact about Rob going above and beyond to help with any minor inconvenience - and we didn't even know.
We can not say enough good things about Rob - you will not regret choosing to work with him!

connection with you both the first time we met back at the WedPlan Madison Ultimate Wedding Show in 2022. I am glad that you accepted your prize of a free wedding package and allowed me to come on this journey with you.
I truly enjoyed working with you both on creating a starry Winter Wonderland themed celebration at the beautiful Tinsmith. The design turned out lovely due to the personal touches and little details that we worked on together.
My goal when working with my couples is to deliver an experience rooted in empathy. Part of that is delivering above and beyond what others might expect by taking care of all guests as if they were members of my own family. I am happy to know that my actions were impactful in a positive manner.
I wish you both all the best. I cannot thank you enough for the opportunity to work with you!

Rob Anderson with OSO IN LOVE worked a miracle and put together an amazing, fun, very gay wedding for us in just three months. He helped us find a venue that was spectacular, one that we had no idea was in our budget range. He was very attentive and made sure we were aware of everything we needed to do and that we had the information to do it--not that there was much for us to do because he handled the vast majority of things. His fees are very competitive and he brought a great value because just about everything we needed done he could do, from managing subcontractors for rentals and catering to decorating and providing DJ services. I can't say for certain but I believe the savings he found for us covered his fee. Don't choose him based on cost alone: Rob is very good at what he does, he has a team that did a great job taking care of us and our 75 guests on our wedding day, and he's a lot of fun. I would recommend him to our friends with absolutely no reservations.

easy by being open to ideas and being responsive. I had a great time getting to know your friends and family throughout the wedding day and loved being able to also provide the soundtrack for the event and get the crowd partying on the dance floor! Thank you both so much - Rob | OSO IN LOVE

We were initially drawn to Rob at a wedding show because we wanted a wedding planner with similar values to us. My wife and I presented a major challenge to him - planning a completely outdoor wedding on a hilltop with no electricity or running water. Rob was willing to work with us through these challenges to plan a beautiful wedding.
We appreciated that he contacted vendors and presented us with various options to choose from during the planning process. The day of the wedding, he and his team helped navigate issues that arose and made sure to check in with guests. He also stepped in as our DJ and kept people dancing all evening long! Overall, we were very happy working with Rob to make our wedding such a special experience for family, friends, and ourselves.

Thank you so much Mitchell for sharing your experience and story about working with me on ...
your wedding. I had an incredible time working with you and Maddie and getting to know you both over the months that we spent together planning your wedding. It was a challenge to pull off without water, restrooms, or a structure to hold the event in, but it turned out beautifully. It was one of my most special events of the season and I am grateful to have been a part of it. Thank you so much!!! Rob | owner of OSO IN LOVE

Rob did an amazing job as the day of coordinator for our wedding. We hired him a couple of weeks before our wedding which is pretty last minute. We were lucky that he was available. Rob was very meticulous in everything he did.
He met with us online and told us exactly what to expect. He understood the vision of how we wanted our wedding to be. He made a detailed timeline of wedding, and communicated it with every vendor we had hired so everyone was on the same page. We had a lot of vendors including a strings quartet and a magician! He visited the wedding venue with us prior to the wedding to learn what to expect.
On the wedding day, Rob arrived at the venue before the first vendor arrived, met the venue staff, and coordinated everything. He was very professional. Everything (really everything!) went to plan due to his meticulous planning. All our guests and family were very impressed by how smoothly everything went, and how kind and professional Rob was. Rob was the last person to leave the wedding venue. He organized the clean up and consolidation of materials to be returned so that we had very easy pick up the next day.
Overall Rob was simply amazing. If we had to redo the wedding, we would rehire him without any hesitation!

We had a great experience working with Rob on our wedding in May 2022. We were interested in working with OSO IN LOVE because it was a LGBTQ+ owned business. Rob was helpful in finding us local vendors that could help us bring our vision to life, as we lived in New York City at the time.
He listened to us, offered insight and helped create a very memorable experience for our guests from across the globe by incorporating personal elements that celebrated our American and German heritages.
We would highly recommend working with Rob!

Rob was fantastic. He handled correspondence with vendors well, but my main appreciation was everything that he handled the day of the wedding. Between setting up table decor, putting together our last-minute wedding arch purchase, and actually handing the payments to other vendors, we had nothing to worry about that day. We had an all-vaccinated wedding and were checking proof of vaccinations at the door, and Rob and his assistant Jenny handled that checking and were so helpful (even if a few of our guests gave them some trouble at the door). Rob also handled the arrival of our late night bites, facilitated the fix of a silly napkin error on the part of our caterers, and was just generally super helpful and kept us in the loop without constantly bothering us with minor things. Fantastic experience, would highly recommend.

Thank you Rob for going above and beyond to make our wedding successful in 3 weeks. It was wonderful to work with Rob from the beginning to the end, Rob planned our wedding, coordinated it on the day of, and provided sound system. Rob found us the vendors that provide exactly what we need in timely manner. And he is especially thoughtful about decorating the venue, he knows the key questions to ask and created a beautiful space that is just like what we envisioned. During the wedding, Rob is such a wonderful coordinator. He made sure the wedding happen on-time even though there was an unexpected incident. The wedding went smoothly and elegantly because of his coordination.

Rob came in at the perfect time. My husband and I hired a wedding planner a year and a half in advance to our wedding. We got to within 5 months of our wedding date and were having issues getting any response out of our original wedding planner. That's when we learned that Rob was in the same business and I had reached out to him to ask him for advice on what to do. He immediately responded with what should have happened up until that point and advised us to go a new a route. Rob told us he was available that Saturday of our wedding and he would love to jump on board. We did and never looked back. We had lots of ideas in our head that were having trouble bringing to life. We told Rob what we were thinking and he immediately sprang into action. We had a demo board within 2 weeks of hitting go! He was bringing our visions to life and we were getting even more excited! For us, design, decor, and day of planning is what we needed most. Rob knocked it out of the park! We know for a fact that our day wouldn't have gone so smooth if it wasn't for Rob. If there was a problem we had no idea about it! We trusted Rob to make the decisions that needed to be made and we are truly honored that he was able to be there for us during this process! Give Rob and OSO in Love a huge thought when thinking about your wedding. You WILL NOT be disappointed!

I cannot say enough good things about Rob Anderson (“Papa Bear”) of OSO IN LOVE. Rob was our DJ and day-of wedding coordinator, and we absolutely loved working with him. Rob is organized, so kind and helpful - exactly the kind of person you’d want helpful you with your special day. Everything was seamless, and he did an excellent job keeping the party going on the dance floor. My only regret was not having Rob plan my entire wedding because he was that amazing (and he really has an eye for details). Thank you so much, OSO IN LOVE!

Rob was great to work with and helped a lot with both the design and execution of our wedding. He and his team did a great job executing a complete flip of our ceremony space to make it ready for our reception in a timely manner. He also has great connections within the industry that really saved us some money. Thanks Rob!

My husband and I had the privilege to have Rob be our work with us on our wedding. He was amazing!!
He served as our officiant and he made the ceremony very personal to us and our story of love!! We even had tons of our guests tell us that is was one of the best ceremonies they have been to.
Not only did he serve as our officiant, but he also coordinated all the decor for our ceremony. I let Rob know what colors and flowers that were part of the wedding and just let him take control. I was blown away with how beautiful it was.
I can't say enough how amazing it was to have Rob a part of our special day and would highly recommend him to everyone I know!!
