Coastal Rose Events -

I am not even sure how to begin to write a review that does Emily and her team justice. They honored every detail and thought from the beginning. Emily helped us plan our dream wedding 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!

Emily and her team turned our vision into a reality for our dream wedding weekend!! She was very professional and thoughtful throughout the entire process.

She is an outstanding wedding planner and can deliver under pressure. It was very evident of her detail-oriented nature, coordination capabilities, and ability to navigate many vendors and personalities. All our guests loved Emily and her team! Our wedding party size was 174 people.

Our Mission SB (catholic wedding) followed by Belmond Encanto cocktail hour & dinner reception/dancing turned out to be a perfect day and evening we will never forget

We LOVED working with Emily and her team. She was so attentive and helpful that even our guests were telling us how great she was.

Emily was always calm, helpful, and ready to guide 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.

We cannot say enough good things about Emily and Coastal Rose Events! From our initial meeting, all the in between and planning meetings and meet ups, and all the way to the day of, 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!

Emily at Coastal Rose Events was the reason my wedding was perfect. She seamlessly orchestrated everything from start to finish in 60 days; my guests were in disbelief at how well 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!

My husband Matt and I had our DREAM wedding because of all of the help from Emily. Emily is so incredibly detail oriented and relieved us of all the stress with wedding planning. We communicated over text, email, and zoom meetings and it was so great how quick and responsive Emily was during the entire process. She constructed a well thought out time line, made sure all of our contracts and vendors were taken care of, and most importantly that we enjoyed our day without any stress! Her organizational skills are truly impecable and I don’t know how she does it. She recommended the best vendors and we constantly were complimented about how great our florists, musician, and photobooth were. Her team is incredible and I’m so lucky to have gotten the pleasure of working with her for our wedding day. Emily wasn’t just my coodinator, she felt like my friend that was there beside me all day. I highly recommend Emily and her team!

We had the honor of working with Emily from Coastal Rose Events for our Santa Barbara wedding. Emily is a one-of-a-kind rockstar. She is extremely organized, diligent, and, most importantly, she is also calm, cool, and collected. She is also full of good ideas and she set us up for success on the weeks leading up to our wedding and on our actual wedding day. To be completely frank, we didn't have an ounce of stress on the day of our wedding because she and her team were 10000% on top of everything. We feel extremely fortunate for the opportunity of working with Emily and we highly recommend her team.

We were so unbelievably happy with the service that Emily and her team provided. I have a hospitality background and crazy high expectations 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!
