The best!!

We hired Sam to help out at rehearsal and all day wedding day! She was amazing. She knew what we needed before we even knew. She was so thoughtful and was great to have around, all my bridesmaids loved her. While she was with us all day, she ensured to capture all the little moments on my phone so I had pictures to see immediately the next day. She even surprised us with taking videos of our guests wishing us well. Truly cannot recommend her more!

Amazing wedding day

If I could give Sam and The Last Rose Weddings more than 5 stars, I absolutely would!

From the very beginning, Sam was incredible. She guided my daughter through the entire wedding planning process, offering thoughtful suggestions, creative options, and expert advice that helped bring her vision to life. She truly listened to what my daughter wanted and worked tirelessly to make every detail come together perfectly.

What impressed us most was how much Sam genuinely cared. She was always responsive, organized, and willing to help, even with things that weren't technically part of her responsibilities. She went above and beyond, even allowing my daughter to borrow décor items she had available, which was such a generous and thoughtful gesture.

On the wedding day, Sam made everything feel effortless. As the moms, we were able to fully enjoy every moment instead of worrying about timelines, vendors, or last-minute details. She handled everything with professionalism, efficiency, and grace, relieving us of all stress and allowing us to focus on celebrating with our family and friends.

My daughter had the wedding of her dreams, and Sam played a huge role in making that happen. She is organized, efficient, talented, caring, and simply amazing at what she does. We are so grateful for everything she did and would highly recommend The Last Rose Weddings to anyone looking for a wedding coordinator who truly goes above and beyond.
Thank you, Sam, for helping create such beautiful memories that our family will cherish forever!

The Planner EVERY bride needs!

I truly cannot thank Sam enough for all the hard work, time, care, and love she poured into making my wedding day so seamless and stress free. I met with her about 10 months before my wedding, and at that point I was starting to feel overwhelmed because I had barely planned anything. From the very beginning, Sam immediately made me feel at ease.

She came fully prepared with everything I could possibly need including wedding budget templates, welcome guides, decor lists, photoshoot lists, timelines, and so many thoughtful details all organized in an easy to access shared Google Drive. She thought of the smallest things that I never would have considered until the last minute, and that alone took such a huge weight off my shoulders.

One of my favorite things about Sam is that she was ALWAYS genuinely excited for me. She brought such positive energy to every meeting and made the entire planning process feel exciting instead of stressful. I also appreciated how honest and experienced she was when giving feedback on decor, ideas, and what works best for weddings. You can truly tell how passionate and knowledgeable she is about what she does.

She consistently communicated with all my vendors and the venue, which made such a difference not only for me, but for my entire family and bridal party. Wedding planning should be a joyful season of life, and Sam made sure it stayed that way. She attended meetings with me, sent inspiration ideas constantly, kept everything organized, and always made me feel supported.

And then came the wedding day itself, and wow. Sam was absolutely incredible. She guided the bridal party, kept everything running on schedule, communicated with vendors and the venue, made sure I stayed hydrated and ate, and most importantly made me feel calm, supported, and fully present. My family and I were able to genuinely enjoy the day without being pulled in a million directions, which was exactly what I hoped for.

As a full time working mom, having Sam by my side throughout this process meant more than I can explain. She took so much stress and responsibility off my hands and turned my vision into something even more beautiful than I imagined. I truly do not know how I would have done it without her.

If you are debating hiring a coordinator or planner, do it. Having someone like Sam is absolutely priceless when planning such an important and memorable day.

if you can't, Sam CAN!

If you are reading this because you are looking to hire a wedding planner. STOP LOOKING AND HIRE SAM. I had her as my day-of coordinator and have ZERO regrets. She picked up all the planning about a month and a half before my wedding and she could not have stepped in at a better time. That last couple of months before your wedding is a tornado of payment deadlines and vendor meetings. No matter how organized you are, it is A LOT to keep track of. Sam helped make sure all my deadlines were met and picked up all the last-minute things that I hadn’t even thought of. She was able to provide great vendor recommendations for a couple of things I hadn’t checked off my list. I am the type of person that finds things easier if I do it myself and it’s difficult for me to ask for help. However, I quickly realized that I could ask Sam anything and trust that she would get it done. She was always available and responsive via text, call or email.
Not only did I find her easy to work with, but my family and guests all made a point to compliment her work ethic and warm personality. Sam means business and does it was the brightest smile on her face! My wedding didn’t feel stressful or rushed at all. Everyone had a great time at my wedding and it wouldn’t have been that way if we didn’t have Sam and her amazing team.

Sam is the best!

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.🤎

Best wedding ever

Sam was truly a lifesaver from start to finish. As someone that never makes decisions, she was soooo helpful in making sure everything got done in a timely manner. We couldn’t have 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! 10 STARS!!

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 type 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!

5 Stars!!!

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 stunning 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!

Beautiful Bridal Shower

We had the absolute best experience with Sam for my daughter’s bridal shower! From the moment we started planning, she was organized, creative, and so attentive to every detail. The décor was beautiful and matched our vision and style perfectly, the flow of the day was seamless, and she handled all the small details so we could just relax and enjoy the day. The games were fun but not cheesy, the timeline was smooth, and every guest felt welcomed and cared for. I couldn’t have asked for a more beautiful, stress-free shower. Thank you for making this special day so memorable!
