From the moment we started planning, Patricia at The Rose was an absolute lifesaver. Her responsiveness was unparalleled, always available to answer our questions and offer guidance. She truly went above and beyond to make us feel special throughout the entire process. Patricia provided an abundance of helpful resources, including links and tips that proved invaluable in our wedding planning journey. The rehearsal the day before the wedding was incredibly calming. Patricia's warmth and enthusiasm created a relaxed atmosphere, allowing us to just be excited about the weekend to come and significantly reducing the stress of the big day. When we walked into the venue on our wedding day, we were absolutely blown away. It looked more spectacular than we could have ever imagined. The Rose provided the perfect backdrop for our dream wedding, and we are eternally grateful to Patricia, and the entire Rose team, for making it all possible. Thank you! Staci and Lauren 10.26.24
