If Randy from Say Yes to the dress, Carlos from Cake Boss, Jane from 27 Dresses, Mary from The Wedding Planner and Jeremy & John from The Wedding Crashers had a baby....it'd be me! Hi, I'm Alexis your wedding planner bestie with plenty of knowledge and a little sass. I was raised by the best in the business as you read and always looking for fun intuitive ways to support and cherish my clients.

The team at Be My Guest Weddings were the absolute best that my wife and I could have asked for. Leading up to the big day, the check-ins were nice to have as it helped assuage our worries. They took on things that were stressing us out, with our input and such, and delivered in ways that we hadn't even thought about. On the big day itself, there were fires that we didn't even know had popped up that were taken care of so that we could focus on living in the moment. We decided on the team because of the genuinity we felt in the consultation. We're people persons at our core, and it was important for us to find a team that reflected the types of purposeful connections, and not just being another couple on the schedule. We're lucky to have stumbled on this team.

We loved them. They did exactly what we asked of them which we appreciated. Not every DJ will listen and they end up doing their own thing. We didn’t want a DJ that was too obnoxious so he was perfect. We talked about 2 weeks prior and felt good, went over everything and they have forms you fill out. One comment we got from different guests was they liked the music and played stuff for everyone…a nice variety! It was a great night!

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

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!

B&B Photography LLC was an incredible choice for our wedding photography. From the start, the communication with Bailey was fast, easy, and incredibly helpful. She was available to answer our questions and provide guidance throughout the planning process. Her questionnaire before the wedding was really essential in helping us plan group shots and decide on what pictures were essential vs not important for us. On our wedding day, Bailey went above and beyond, not only capturing all of our most important moments with beautiful, high-quality photos, but also acting as a "wedding superhuman" - she communicated with the ceremony venue and helped us with so many little details to ensure our day ran smoothly. The final photos were absolutely stunning and the value was incredibly reasonable! We are thrilled with the work of B&B Photography and would highly recommend to any couple looking for an exceptional photography experience. We loved her so much that my sister booked her for her fall wedding as well!

We had booked Hannah for her previous expertise at our reception venue. Since we had a long engagement, we can an extended period of communication but closer to the day Hannah made sure that we were all on the same page and felt heard. Day of she communicated, was on time, and was honestly a ninja getting all the best shots. Also I think she pulled an extra hair tie out of her purse for my husband so prepared for emergencies, anyone?! Come time for editing, she provided a sneak peek pretty quickly and provided updates on where she was with the whole production. Had we needed any tweaks (we didn’t because she’s amazing) I’m confident that she would have made them ASAP. Booking a videographer is important, so do yourself a favor and book Hannah.
