  • Serves Dakota City, IA

Hi! I'm Brooklyn - the owner! I'm 22 years old & happily married to my best friend, Michael. Traveling is a huge part of our lives, WDW is our happy place, & our next adventure is never far away. When I'm not at a wedding, you can find me in the flower shop or doing some *light* retail therapy. I recently graduated from KSU with a B.S. in Hospitality & Event Management. I have had the opportunity to work with some amazing couples & vendors in several states. I even spent time in FL working closely with one of the world's leading entertainment companies bringing hundreds of fairytale weddings & events to life. Now, I'm making magic of my own!

I recently had the pleasure of having Brooklyn as the officiant of my wedding and I am so glad I went with her! She made the process as simple as possible, was super easy to work with, was always open to communication and returned correspondence in a more than timely manner. Simply put, everything I needed!

LoveLee Occasions is a wedding and event planning business that has grown from the love + passion for all celebrations; big or small.

There is just something about the chaos of behind-the-scenes that we love and being able to do that for all humans, makes our days go by fast and end our nights with smiles + appreciation.

Christina was extremely organized, efficient, and communicative. We started communicating about a year prior to my wedding, and we had instant chemistry. She is so genuine, so caring, and has such a calming presence. As we got closer to the wedding, we had a few planning sessions, and wow, she is THOROUGH! I'm so thankful for that. She made sure we had everything in order, and connected with the other vendors so they knew to go to her for questions (instead of coming to me!!). The day before the wedding, she helped us run through the rehearsal. She even created an itinerary and a booklet that helped us and our families stay organized the day of the wedding. The day of the wedding is when she really shined! She was the point of contact for everyone (vendors, family members, etc.), she kept us on time, she finished decorating, and she gave us peace of mind. Her team went above and beyond! We are truly so thankful for Christina and her team! Because of them, we were able to be fully present on our wedding day, and not worry about a thing! On top of all of that, she is so fun to talk to, down to earth, and a fantastic person!!!

Espinosa Events & Weddings

  • Serves Dakota City, IA

I got married on a llama farm, so you could say I’m no stranger to quirky, out-of-the-box celebrations. From that unforgettable day, I realized I have a real knack for bringing dream weddings to life, no matter how unique the vision. Now, I’m here to help couples create their perfect day, whether it’s under fairy lights, in a barn, or even at a llama farm! When I’m not busy planning, I’m at home with my amazing husband, two snuggly cats, and one very fluffy rabbit. Let’s create something magical together!

Many years ago, I was lucky enough to have Michaela help with some last-minute details for my sister's wedding, and she was an absolute lifesaver! Her attention to detail and ability to bring calm to the chaos were exactly what we needed. Now, seeing her officially launch her wedding planning business after planning her own wedding, I'm thrilled for future couples who get to work with her. Michaela is meticulous, dedicated, and truly has a talent for making everything run seamlessly. She’s exactly who any couple needs on their big day!

Hi! I'm Amber! I am a Creative Project Manager and Wedding Pro. I'm from St. Louis, MO and I have been working with couples across the state of Iowa for 3 years. I believe that every bride deserves to enjoy the wedding planning journey without stress or worry. If you are considering hiring a Wedding Planner, I would love to meet you and work with you. You can trust the "A" Team!

Amber was spectacular, hands down. We hired her for her planning services as well as day of coordination. Our wedding was DIY in many regards. We met frequently throughout the year leading up to our wedding and she made sure nothing was forgotten. She introduced us to our bartender and the person who we rented sound equipment as well as her assistant Allison, all of whom were excellent. She worked well with our family members who were also involved in planning. Our rehearsal the night before the wedding itself went off without a single hitch. She truly seemed to care about us and our day. I’d recommend her a hundred times over to anyone!

Team Yellow Rose truly brought our vision to life. From our initial consultation, I knew that Isabel and I were on the same page. Isabel was creative with different ways to maintain our budget. She went above and beyond by MAKING CANDLES in the exact shade I wanted when we could not find any. Though we did not meet in person often, she was always a quick text or call away which we really valued. I can't thank this team enough for making our dream wedding a reality.

I was truly in awe of how my event turned out. Donna of DBC Eventz INC. did an amazing job bringing the vision to life. Donna went above and beyond finding intricate items that went with the theme and thought outside the box with the decorations. The entire space was decorated beautifully from top to bottom. Donna understood the assignment and took it to the next level. Donna included me and kept me up to date on where she was with the status of my party. Donna even assisted me with finding the right person to make a cake, DJ the event and take pictures and videos at the event. I was able to have an entrance area, seat all my guest comfortably, have a dance floor, a bar and a separate food area. I will definitely be using DBC Eventz Inc. for my future events.

If you’re debating hiring a coordinator, just do it and make sure its Sydney. Where to start! Sydney was (and is) absolutely incredible. I cannot imagine what our day would have been without her. Leading up to our wedding day, we met with Sydney to review the details of the day, what we were envisioning for the look and feel of our day, she helped develop our timeline (her timeline tool is AMAZING), and she brought up questions/thoughts on things that we hadn’t thought of or things that she suggests we do to help the day run better and the experience be more enjoyable for guests. The number of guest/family members, or even outside vendors at our wedding that took notice of all she did to make the day perfect, was mind boggling. Not only did she attend our rehearsal the day prior, she completely stepped up and helped our church with coordinating the rehearsal as well. This greatly improved the smoothness of the ceremony for not only the Bride and Groom, but for the church and the entire wedding party! Multiple vendors made it a point to compliment Sydney to me. With Sydney in charge there was no doubt in my mind that everything would go how it was supposed to, and that it did! We had the best wedding day we could have imagined. The reception space was setup perfectly, she took care of all the communication with the staff at our venue and outside vendors, and she did this all with a small on her face and in a calm manner. If she was stressed or worried about something, I never would’ve known. Everything was setup perfectly, she took special care for not only the bride and groom, but the entire wedding party and families. The day went just as we dreamed, all thanks to Sydney. Sydney is the absolute best. I would hire her over and over again. The BEST decision we made was to hire Sydney – I will forever be thankful for all that Sydney did for us leading up to our wedding and the day of.

From beginning to end, our team approaches every moment with you in mind. We stand by the belief that no occasion is too big or too small to be handled the utmost level of care and professionalism. Memories and love last a lifetime.

Jacki and her team are simply fabulous! There is so much more to hair and makeup services than simply making you look and feel your best, though they will do that too! Just as important is Jacki's understanding of wedding days and special events, their timelines, working with other vendors as a team, and how best to be able to touch up your makeup throughout the day (esp those lips!) and making sure you look fresh! She takes care to listen to her clients' needs rather than choosing what style to use. Jacki is just one of the kindest, most lighthearted and fun wedding professionals out there. She would be a great addition to your wedding team and be an amazing way to start your day!
