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!”

Serves Santa Clara, NM

Having a background in hospitality and design for all of my adult life (plus some!) has allowed me to come on this journey of wedding and event planning. I am passionate about helping couples bring their dream wedding to life while telling the story of their love. I know that wedding planning can be overwhelming and daunting, so let me be your advocate, friend, and confidant in this season of your life.

“Do yourself a favor and get in touch with Lauren of Luna Designs LLC, ASAP! I know when I started planning my wedding, I thought I could do it all on my own, however there are so many details I hadn't considered, and with the date getting closer and closer, I began to panic. Thankfully, after contacting and meeting with Lauren, we determined the coordinating services that would be the most beneficial for my wedding...and my sanity! Once Lauren took the lead, all questions were asked and answered with other vendors and everything began to fall into place. I do not know what I would have done without her, a complete professional that took the stress from my hands to her own, and providing all the possible options, recommendations and resources she could offer to let my wedding be the best time ever! The day was just perfect, and during my wedding (and continuing after) I received so many compliments on how wonderfully everything was planned, with the coordinating being amazing! Thank you Lauren, for everything you did to make our day so special, with every memory being treasured, I am forever grateful!!!”

She executed my vision and beyond with her beautiful touch! My wedding day was everything I could have ever hoped for and far exceeded my vision.

Our team provides wedding day coordination, custom + bespoke signage and florals, styling and design services, and rentals! We are currently available for bookings for 2024-2025. Get in touch with us to find out more!

“We had never heard of a “day of coordinator” before our wedding. Initially we wondered if we needed one because we were planning a small and short, backyard wedding with less than 25 family members. Luna y Sol delivered that and more! They made our vision an absolute reality. In the weeks leading up to our big day, they got to know every last detail of our dream wedding, our vendors, decor, schedule, details, design, hopes, and dreams. They studied our timeline and helped us re-work it so that we could maximize our time spent with our guests. They helped set up and run our rehearsal dinner for us which was a big load off of us the day before our wedding! On the day of the wedding every detail was accounted for. We’ll never forget walking down the aisle and seeing our backyard for the first time with everything set up! We loved walking around and seeing all of the sweet touches Luna y Sol curated with our decorations and some of their own. Chris did the most beautiful calligraphy for our place cards and favors sign. Our parents and families were able to help us get ready without the stress and burden of setting up and running the show, too. We look back on our wedding with the happiest and sweetest of memories because everything was coordinated so well. We absolutely needed and valued our day of coordination even for a small backyard wedding. We strongly recommend collaborating with Luna y Sol to make sure all of the hard work you have put into planning your wedding pays off with the most perfect day.”

I’m Ashley, the owner of Rose Event Co. I love being able to share in the love of two individuals and feel lucky to get to work with such wonderful people each day! I’ve been planning weddings and events for over eight years now, and I couldn’t be more thankful with where I am now in my business. I primarily serve the OR | WA | CA markets, but will travel anywhere!

“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!”

Hello my name is Kourtney ( Founder and owner of Firefly events) I am from Colorado. I am very hard working and dedicated to everything I do with passion and care. I have always been the party planner and organizer in my life. I decided to take on event planning professionally two years ago and have done over 100 events in this time. I have recently decided to branch off and open my own company to help my clients with dreams through my professional view and experience. Overall the care and compassion I believe my clients deserve.

“Firefly Events Colorado was absolutely amazing to work with for our wedding. From the very beginning, they were incredibly attentive to our needs and made sure every detail was taken care of. Their communication style was exceptional - they were always responsive and went above and beyond to ensure our vision was brought to life. The quality of their work and the value they provided was more beautiful than we ever could have imagined. They did so much more than what was required, like replacing our lost top layer of cake, and our reception was absolutely stunning as a result. We couldn't have asked for better wedding planners, and we are so grateful to Firefly Events Colorado for making our special day truly unforgettable. My one piece of advice is to unravel the curtain lights and other lights in an orderly fashion so that other brides don’t have to have this in the end. Picture provided.”
