Wild Rose Planning & Events 
Rating: 5.0 (19 reviews)
Kansas City, MO
  • Offers 3 services
  • Starts at $6,500

Wild Rose Planning & Events was established in 2021 by two wedding industry experts. Throughout our years in the industry, we felt there was a gap in the planning process, making it feel more like work than fun. We’re here to provide you with the experience you deserve — stress free, organized, and memorable!

Awarded Best of Zola
When my husband and I got engaged in May 2023, Wild Rose was the very first vendor I booked (I sent my inquiry the day after he proposed). As a venue owner with more than 5 years in the industry at the time, I knew that the most important, non-negotiable vendor would be our coordinator. I knew that I wanted the full planning aspect so that I could enjoy the process as a BRIDE, not from an industry or “work” perspective. Brenna and Molly had been so amazing to work with at the venue, I absolutely loved their product and knew I had to have them do my wedding. From day one they made me feel so confident in our choices, our to-do list felt like it was handled and I didn’t have to worry about a thing. They fully designed our day - stationary, florals, decor rentals, it was such a blast to have our check-in meetings on Zoom to SEE our design come together. They handled all of the vendor exchanges, including when we arrived to our venue in Costa Rica and it looked completely different than the pictures online so we ended up moving our ceremony site to our welcome party site with 24 hours to go! I’d be lying if I said I didn’t worry for a second, but I did worry - if only for a second. Truly Brenna and Molly said “we got this” and they handled it so easily. I was worried about packing two wedding dresses for international travel - Molly had me bring them and my suitcase to work and she herself packed them perfectly. When we got to Costa Rica they came to our villa to unpack and hang them safely. On my wedding day Molly steamed my veil and was actually the one to get me in my dress. They were also so incredibly understanding with everything I wanted to do to include my mother who passed away in 2021. I brought a necklace with cremation remains and they so lovingly tied it on my bouquet for me. They carried the portrait I had my now mother-in-law carry down the aisle around with them throughout the day like she was just hanging out with them. They even took the portrait back to their flat so mom was at their “after party.” Our 3 sons are the first to refer our friends and family that are wedding planning to “Miss Brenna and Molly” - they loved hanging out with them for the week we were together. Overall - I love Brenna and Molly enough to spend a year in meetings with them AND fly them to Costa Rica for a week, along with our 30 closest family and friends. Their care, attention to detail, and confidence continue to amaze me and Wild Rose will always and forever be the best thing I ever did for our wedding!

Awarded Best of Zola
It's been two months since our wedding day, and I still cannot get over how incredibly amazing and wonderful the team at Whatever is Lovely was for my husband and I throughout our entire experience. If you are in the Kansas City area or beyond (we were planning from Denver, Colorado) I cannot recommend this team enough. I would give them ten stars if I could. My coordinator Meranda was like a trusted friend, helpful sister, and wise-beyond-expectations consultant for everything. I had no worries or stresses on my big day thanks to she and Rachel being on site to do anything that was needed - even reading my mind and my mother's mind several times throughout the day. Because of this team our wedding day was prepared, organized, stress-free, and ENJOYABLE. I love being able to say that. Thank you, Meranda!

Great experience with Union. First off, they have a beautiful space that really encompasses the vibe of downtown KC. But their service was also great to match. We wish we had gone with the full planning package instead of just the month-of-package, because once they started getting involved in our plan about 60 days out, things really got a lot easier, so I would highly suggest using them for your planning. They worked great with all of our vendors and all of our guests were impressed with their team!

With over 5 years of event coordination experience, I have honed my skills in orchestrating seamless and memorable events. My journey began with high-end events in Beverly Hills and celebrity gatherings, where I learned the intricacies of creating sophisticated and high-energy occasions. This foundation allowed me to develop a keen eye for detail and a passion for crafting magical moments that leave a lasting impression. Every event is an opportunity to transform visions into reality. My goal is always to exceed expectations and create experiences that are both unique and unforgettable.

We worked with Marissa Sartory for our Napa Valley wedding in July 2024. She truly went above and beyond with the planning and coordinating of our wedding! We had multiple walkthroughs of the venue with different vendors and lots of outside requests for the day of and she was so open to different ideas and was always super helpful in getting answers back to us quickly! On the day, she executed a truly beautiful wedding! We had a small hiccup with our DJ *right before the reception* and Marissa had my back completely, making sure we stuck to our planned timeline and executed the vision we had. Everything went according to plan and we were right on time the whole day. Marissa was so attentive to making sure all the details were taken care of and constantly checked in with us to keep up with any changes we wanted to implement. She was an indispensable part of our wedding who made the day absolutely beautiful!

Hi there! I’m an event designer and partial wedding planner, and I absolutely love what I do. There’s something so special about helping couples bring their wedding vision to life in a way that feels fun and personal but at the same time organized and put together. I get excited about all the little details, the colors, textures, layouts, and moments that make a wedding truly memorable. My favorite part is seeing a couple’s personal styles come together beautifully and knowing I helped make their day feel effortless and joyful.

Mariel was awesome at helping me finish planning my wedding. She did more than we asked and was incredibly supportive. I had some of my wedding planning done but felt really lost in others. She gave me recommendations and quickly adapted to our style. She definitely felt more like a friend rather than a person I was working with.

Shortly after booking with her, we had our first of three meetings before the wedding, where she was instrumental in building the foundation of our special day. She was extremely helpful throughout the whole process, and was always available and very responsive. With this being my first wedding, I had no idea where to start, but Ally was very knowledgeable and efficient. She always had a plan and paid attention to all of the small details. For example, the timeline she provided was excellent and very thorough. It was so detailed that my DJ told me it was the best timeline she had seen, making her job much easier as well. Ally even provided printed versions for the bridal party the night of rehearsal. If there is any problem that arises, you can trust Ally to find the solution with ease. She was a calming presence the day of and I could not recommend more, she was amazing.
