Having Coastal Rose behind our wedding day was truly the best investment we could have made - it was worth EVERY penny. We could not recommend them more and cannot imagine our wedding without them leading the charge. Tara led our month-of coordination, but we often interacted with both her and Emily. They rose above and beyond all expectations, swooping in when you need it most, thinking of reminding us of details we hadn't even thought of and planning out every second to perfection. We often found ourselves saying things like "that was worth every penny" and "I'm not worried Tara has it handled." Beyond that, both Tara and Emily were people we looked forward to chatting with throughout the process, as they truly radiate with positive energy and peace. Genuine, warm and never judgmental or pretentious. Even when there were bumps in the road with vendors given a venue that presented some big logistical challenges, Tara had it immediately handled with creativity and professionalism. You wouldn't have even known at the time of the event. They are truly the best of the best!

Working with Coastal Rose Events was incredible. I was initially worried that our small wedding wouldn’t feel like a “real” wedding, but Emily and Tara made it so special. They coordinated everything flawlessly and guided us through the entire day, helping create a truly memorable celebration. We are so thankful for all of their hard work. If you’re getting married in Santa Barbara, they should be your absolute go-to for wedding planning!

Emily at Coastal Rose Events is simply the best. So easy and professional to work with, I trusted her with every last detail of my wedding day. She provided so much helpful information and direction to find the best vendors and was there from beginning to end to make sure everything went perfectly. I highly recommend her and her team!

Working with the ladies at Coastal Rose Events was so easy and seamless. Their team is so professional and thinks through every single little detail. I hired their team for a wedding coordinator because I wanted to plan my wedding but needed logistical support because I had never planned an event this large. I ended up working with Tara on their team and she was seriously so insanely good at her job. She was so great during the planning process and when I passed over all logistics to her leading up to the wedding, she took over beautifully. On wedding day she was everywhere and no where at the same time, which was exactly what I wanted in a wedding coordinator/planner. So many of my family members came up to me after the wedding and said Tara was so good and handled every little thing with such ease. I seriously can't say enough positive things about Tara and Emily and the entire CRE team.

Emily and Tara are amazing!! So professional, organized, and attentive to every detail, they made our big day completely stress free. Our wedding went so smoothly all the guests commented on how perfectly everything flowed. We’re beyond grateful for their expert coordination and couldn’t have asked for better support, thank you both for making our dream wedding a reality!

Emily and her team were GREAT during our wedding planning process and day of. Emily always answered every question I had and made sure the wedding day ran as smoothly as possible. I trusted her and the team completely to make day of decisions for me and if anything went wrong I had no idea and did not notice! The timeline was so smooth and nothing felt rushed, which was a huge relief and made the day that much better! I highly recommend trusting Emily with your wedding! It truly was the most magical day and Emily played a huge part in making it so special!

We cannot say enough wonderful things about Coastal Rose Events! From start to finish, Emily and Tara were absolute lifesavers. Emily was incredibly responsive throughout the planning process—no question ever went unanswered, and her positive energy made the entire experience so enjoyable. She brought clarity and direction when we needed it most and helped us make confident decisions every step of the way.

Emily and Tara handled every detail with such calm professionalism, and because of them, our wedding day was completely stress-free. We truly didn’t have to worry about a thing. Everything ran seamlessly, and we were able to be fully present and enjoy every moment with our loved ones.

Coastal Rose Events went above and beyond to bring our vision to life. If you’re looking for a team who genuinely cares, Emily and Tara are the dream team!

We can't say enough great things about Coastal Rose Events! On what was supposed to be a sunny day, unexpected rain (along with cold weather) threw a wrench into our outdoor reception plans. But thanks to their calm, quick thinking, and tireless effort, everything still turned out absolutely beautiful. They went completely out of their way to help us pivot and move the reception indoors seamlessly—handling logistics, coordinating with vendors, and making sure the indoor space looked just as magical as we’d imagined. What could have been a stressful moment turned into a special memory thanks to their dedication and heart. We’re so grateful to have had them by our side on our big day!

Emily, you and your team have been absolutely incredible! From the very beginning of the planning process to the final moments of our big day, your support, creativity, and dedication meant the world to us. We truly can’t thank you enough for everything you've done!

We can't thank Emily enough for making wedding planning a fun and exciting experience! We knew that we were in good hands from our first meeting, and every vendor we booked remarked on how much they enjoy working with Emily. She gave us recommendations and suggestions whenever we had questions, handled logistics with care, and was nothing but kind and helpful on our wedding day. We loved working with Emily and highly recommend Coastal Rose Events for anyone looking for a wedding planner!

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!
