sam was such a blessing on our wedding day. she made me feel completely comfortable, cared for, and genuinely heard every step of the way. her warmth, positivity, and calm presence...
meant more to me than she’ll ever know. one moment I’ll always remember is her handing me my iced matcha right after we walked back up the aisle — such a tiny gesture, but it showed how deeply she paid attention to what I would say and how much she cared. she met every need with so much heart, and went above and beyond for us, and I’m so grateful for her. highly highly recommend her to anyone.🤎

had the perfect wedding without her. She helped us with the venue, the cake tasting, the decorating, you name it - she can do it. The best part is she always has a smile on her face and keeps calm even if something doesn’t go as planned. I highly recommend her services for any/all wedding needs. Thank you so much Sam! The real MVP!

The Last Rose Weddings – Samantha is the Real Deal!
Where do I even begin?! Samantha and her team at The Last Rose Weddings are an absolute dream. I’m an epic DIY bride — the typ...
e who built signs, designed favors, and had a million tiny details that all needed to come together seamlessly. Samantha didn’t just meet me where I was — she matched my energy and helped bring my vision to life in the most spectacular way possible.
From our very first call, her time management, hands-on approach, and laser-focused attention to detail immediately stood out. She’s not just a coordinator — she’s a calm, confident powerhouse who keeps every moving part flowing like clockwork. She went above and beyond to make sure our day felt effortless and beautiful.
And here’s the full-circle moment: Samantha was actually the coordinator at one of our friends’ weddings last year — my fiancé caught the garter that night — and little did we know she’d be the one to orchestrate our wedding a year later. Talk about fate!
If you’re wondering whether you need a coordinator, take it from me — the right one will make or break your wedding. Samantha was the perfect match for us. Don’t walk… RUN to The Last Rose Weddings. She will literally save your day (and your sanity) while making your wedding unforgettable.
Thank you, Samantha — you made our dream day happen, and we’ll never stop singing your praises. After how magical it was… I just want to get married every day!

d be part of such a meaningful, joy-filled celebration. Your creativity and energy made the entire process so fun and inspiring, and seeing everything come together so beautifully was truly special. I’m so grateful our paths crossed (again), it really did feel like fate! Wishing you both endless love and happiness in this next chapter.

. She was always responsive and prompt in getting tasks done. On our wedding day, Samantha kept us on track with our timeline. She and her team went above and beyond to keep us hydrated and stress-free, allowing us to fully enjoy our day.

I cannot rave enough about Sam from The Last Rose Weddings! We originally hired her as a day-of coordinator, but she went so far above and beyond that title. From the moment we sta...
rted working together, Sam was a total rockstar! She was super organized, endlessly helpful, and always upbeat. I did a full DIY wedding (which, let’s be honest, made her job way harder), but you would’ve never known it with how effortlessly she handled everything. She took over all communication with vendors, finalized timelines, tracked every detail, and made sure nothing slipped through the cracks, all with the most positive, can-do attitude. I had such a clear vision for my day, and Sam brought it to life perfectly! She truly made the entire thing feel magical. The day of, she ran the show flawlessly so I could actually enjoy the moment and not worry about a single thing.
If you’re even thinking about hiring Sam, do yourself a favor and just say yes! She was hands-down one of the best decisions we made for our wedding!

Sam is truly incredible! I’ve known her for years, so I already knew she was wonderful, but she absolutely blew me away helping my fiancé capture our engagement. She took both stun...
ning candids and guided us through poses when we weren’t sure what to do—everything felt natural and fun.
Our proposal was in Laguna Beach at a beautiful overlook, and Sam made the entire experience so calm and easy. My fiancé had such a great time working with her, and even my family kept saying how helpful and kind she was.
One of the best surprises was receiving all of our photos and videos the same evening—we were able to relive the moment right away and share everything with our friends and family the next day. She checked in with me after the proposal, which meant so much and helped us hold on to that just-engaged excitement.
I truly couldn’t recommend Sam more for any special moment you want to remember forever. She’s talented, organized, professional, and just the sweetest human. Thank you, Sam, for capturing one of the best days of our lives so beautifully!

another planner, she stepped right in and worked wonderful with our planner and our photographers, as Sam came along for all photos and moments to ensure we were all set. She helped my bridesmaids as well and they absolutely adored her. I had Sam use my phone for photos so I had immediate memories to look at the days following the wedding and she surprised us with taking videos of our guests wishing us well! It was such a sweet and thoughtful touch. We cannot recommend Sam!!
