From the very beginning, Jenny went above and beyond to make us feel reassured and confident that everything was in the best hands.

We would give Melaina and Showrunner Events the highest recommendation possible. Having Melaina as our planner and day-of coordinator was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding! When we started our wedding planning, we were quite stressed about all the pieces that needed to be done within nine months. In working with Melaina, we hit it off immediately and that interaction made it a no-brainer to partner with Showrunner Events. Melaina is a wonderful professional, but she is also a super fun person to work with, and most importantly, she always had everything under control and gave off a chill vibe that was really calming. She gave great suggestions on selecting vendors and coordinated amongst them to create a seamless schedule for the wedding day that gave us the peace of mind to really enjoy the day rather than worry about logistics. The wedding day proceeded flawlessly, and our guests could not have been more complimentary of how on-point the overall coordination was. We fully recommend Melaina and Showrunner Events to anyone looking for planners or coordinators for weddings or other events - they are truly phenomenal.

My approach is rooted in discovering your love story & using your love story to deepen the experience of your wedding. I am a poet, designer & chef, which gives me a unique understanding of what goes on behind the scenes, especially in regards to catering. This experience gives me a special ability to help guide you when it comes to hiring vendors and deciding on a wedding theme, menu or design choices. I love unique design that reflects the couple's love story, or gives the guests a unique and deeply moving experience. I think forming a bond is important in order to establish trust, so that I may handle with grace your most important day.

My husband and I were married on September 20th, 2024 in Sonoma, California. I cannot imagine our wedding planning era & wedding without Amiee. As a native Sonoma/Glen Ellen girl, Amiee and I have a shared history of growing up in Sonoma, which lent her an advantage in planning and scoping out possible locations for rehearsal dinners, etc. Amiee also has a great eye and an appreciation for the finer things, so you can trust anything she recommends will be tasteful and beautiful. While I made most decisions with regards to color palettes, design, and aesthetic, I trusted Amiee to oversee the final setup and arrangements the day of, which was initially difficult for me to release control of, and she did NOT disappoint. Our reception was beautiful - my husband's boss told him it was the nicest wedding he had ever been to. My husband and I did things a bit unconventionally, with our vows in a backyard ceremony and our reception at the Jack London Lodge. Amiee helped us navigate the logistics of having 2 locations, and had a wealth of knowledge with regard to the smallest details, such as how many passed appetizers, do you really need a shuttle, etc. In addition to the overall wedding planning, Amiee's husband & his team were the caterers, which we still get compliments on 3 months after the wedding. The catering, overall smooth flow, the last minute touches Amiee added at the end - I am so grateful we worked with her and our wedding would not have been what it was without Amiee & their team.

I’m not even sure where to begin to describe how amazing Events by McKenna is at what they do!! McKenna is the most kind, helpful, and enthusiastic person to assist you during such an important time in your life. She made sure everything went perfectly on our wedding day and every day leading up to it! When we first started our wedding planning journey, we only knew where we wanted to have it, and due to the venue location not regularly being used for weddings, we needed to outsource vendors for everything. That's where McKenna came in and helped us out by hand-picking every vendor that she knew would provide the exact things we were looking for. From catering, florals, furniture rentals, DJ, and all the little details, she knew who would be perfect for the job and she was right about every single one! Every time we had a question or a crazy idea, she had an answer right away and she would do everything she could to make it happen. One thing that we were really hoping for was getting a disco ball above our dance floor, but since we were outdoors, it wasn’t looking promising. McKenna was the one who made sure that we got our disco ball, and it was absolutely perfect! That’s just one example of the many ways McKenna ensured our dream wedding would become a reality. On the day of, McKenna and her team were so efficient and handled everything so that my husband and I could relax and focus on ourselves. We got to our venue and everything was already done and ready to start the day! McKenna was amazing at time management throughout the day, and she was so helpful to not only us, but our families, wedding party and guests as well. Everything went perfectly on schedule and all the crazy ideas that we had came to life with no issues! It was truly the best day of our lives and it wouldn’t have been possible without McKenna’s help! I could write so much more on how incredible Events by McKenna is, but to sum it all up, they are the best choice for your wedding planning and coordinating needs and you will not regret choosing them for your big day!!

When my husband and I started our journey to plan our wedding, I knew we were going to need some help. We are non traditional, with very eclectic tastes, and we were going to need someone special to help us pull off all of our insane ideas. I extensively researched over 20 coordinators, had a phones calls with 5 different companies, but ultimately I knew Ashley from Rose Event Co. was going to be the one. From the start she personable, intelligent, and made me feel understood in what our vision was for our special day. Throughout the process she was punctual with all of our appointments, gave helpful suggestions, and made me feel confident leaving my type A personality and needs in her hands. The weekend of the wedding came, and a lot of creative problem solving as well. We rented a private mansion for our event and did the rehearsal the day before. Ashley was there early, having already communicated with my other vendors and the venue to make sure we would be prepared for our big day. What we didn't expect was the kitchen under construction, furniture and decor that had not been moved at our previous requests(but promised), rooms that we had planned for, but could no longer use, and the Venue staff not "remembering" months worth of text and phone call conversations about our needs and expectations, as well as their promises and what they were supposed to deliver. There were other issues, but I digress. Ashley immediately stepped in with ideas and to be the go between with the Venue, and to help troubleshoot the long list of problems that had now come up. The night before was stressful for my Husband and I, not knowing if we were going pull this off, but I knew with Ashley, we were in good hands. The day of she brought her A game, a stunning red dress, and handled business. She was not afraid to get involved and make sure everything we wanted happened. She listened to our needs, knew when to step up or step down, was super flexible in our timeline and made sure to handle any issues that arose during the wedding. Her ability to read a situation and adapt to the issues at hand made her the perfect fit to our crazy ideas. She has incredible creative problem solving and is kind hearted and hard working. If it wasn't for Ashley, we could not have pulled off our day. I would recommend her 10x's over, to any bride that wants an absolute badass by their side. She handles business, and gives confidence to her clients. Thank you Ashley and Rose Event Co. for turning what could have been a disaster into a day dream!

I can honestly say that Ali was our wedding-planning superhero! When we first started planning our wedding, I wasn’t even considering hiring a wedding planner since our venue came with a coordinator. However, looking back now, I truly have no idea how we would have pulled off our wedding without Ali. She was absolutely indispensable! I did most of the vendor research and design planning on my own, and while that was manageable, Ali’s services took the entire experience to the next level. She was a lifesaver when it came to the logistics. She kept me organized, helped me stay on track, and made sure I was realistic about what could be done within my vision and budget. Even when the process got overwhelming, Ali was there, ensuring I didn’t get lost in the details or stray too far from my goals. On the wedding day itself, Ali truly shined. From what I was told, there were a few hiccups throughout the day (which is inevitable with any event of this scale), but I never had to worry about a thing. Ali quietly and efficiently handled everything behind the scenes, ensuring that I wasn’t aware of any issues and always had a solution in place before I even knew there was a problem. Thanks to her, I was able to relax and enjoy every moment of our special day without stress. If you’re on the fence about hiring a wedding planner, I can wholeheartedly recommend Ali. She made all the difference for us, and I’ll forever be grateful for her dedication, expertise, and calm presence. She is an absolute gem!
