About this vendor

Hey, y'all — I'm Cara Largent, owner and lead coordinator at Cara Rose Events, a wedding coordination business based in South Bend, Indiana, serving couples throughout Northern Indiana and Southern Michigan.

I specialize in mid-range weddings, offering full-service planning, month-of planning, and day-of wedding coordination for couples who have a vision and need an experienced hand to help bring it to life. Packages include three in-person planning meetings, rehearsal direction, full wedding-day setup, vendor coordination, and complete teardown — so you can be fully present for every minute of your day instead of managing logistics.

Before launching Cara Rose Events, I spent seven seasons as lead wedding coordinator at The Morris Estate in Niles, Michigan, coordinating more than 150 weddings. That hands-on experience taught me how to spot a problem before it happens and handle it before anyone even knows it was one.

I work closely with trusted vendors across the region — florists, photographers, bakers, and venue teams — so your wedding day runs on real relationships, not guesswork. Whether it's a stressed vendor or a nervous parent of the bride, I bring the same calm, steady kindness to every part of the day.

It's an honor to be a small part of your big day. If you're looking for a wedding coordinator who works like a pro and feels like a friend, I'd love to hear from you

Cara literally saved our wedding!!

Cara made all our dreams come true! Our wedding was PERFECT thanks to who she is, what she does, and she's a blast to be around to boot!

10/10! Don't look any further. She's got it all!

The Story:
My wife and I spend hours searching and searching for the ideal wedding planner. We met with multiple people, finally settled on one, paid her our money, and she turned out to be more of a headache than a help! We found ourselves managing the things she was supposed to be helping with... on top of everything else! UGH!

Insert Cara:
She absolutely saved the day! She helped us from beginning to end, managing everything our (paid for weeding planner) didn't complete as well as staying 5 steps ahead of all potential roadblocks the day of! She stayed on top of us (in the nicest way possible) standing by our side as we made choices about our special day. Her expertise, fun and free personality, and lovely way of being is second to none!

Literally the best coordinator to ever do it

I cannot recommend Cara enough! This woman makes your special day her #1 priority and makes you feel like you are the only bride she's ever worked with, despite her endless experience. She makes you feel special, heard, and has the most calming presence that every bride needs on her wedding day. She's personal, detail-oriented, and you can tell she holds herself to the highest standards. I wish I had asked for a picture with her because is THAT WOMAN. I literally called her my "emotional support coordinator" because you can lean on her and trust that she will make sure everything goes smoothly and is exactly to your liking. I can't imagine my wedding day without Cara. If you want a coordinator who gives 110%, is solely focused on you and your happiness, and will execute your dream seamlessly, book her now, you do not need to look any further.

She works the day with such ease and grace as well. She is warm, kind and so friendly. And when there is a hiccup on the day of the wedding she acts quickly and adjusts accordingly, and no one would even know that anything happened. Without a doubt, hiring Cara is one of the best decisions you can make on your wedding day!
