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.

Wild Rose Planning & Events 
Rating: 5.0 (19 reviews)
  • 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!

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!

Wild Arrow Events

We believe wedding planning should feel exciting, organized, and truly enjoyable. Our approach is rooted in thoughtful details, clear communication, and genuine care for our couples. Whether you need full-service planning, partial support, or day-of coordination, we’re here to guide you every step of the way. Our goal is to create a seamless experience that allows you to stay present, confident, and stress-free while celebrating one of the most meaningful days of your life.

For our wedding, we utilized very few additional services as my career requires me to plan and host events/dinners for 900 guests. So I went into the wedding preparation pretty confident with my capabilities to pull it off on my own. I soon discovered that I needed some additional oversight. Paige and Wild Arrow Events to the rescue! Paige was on it. She assisted with our website, program, calendar of events and gift tags for content, verbiage and layout. It is so easy to overlook misspellings, alignment, punctuation, etc. when you look at your creations for too long. She caught things that were very blatant and would have been embarrassing if they went out to my guests. She made wonderful suggestions that I never would have thought of ask guest to be seated by a certain time, menu details, parking details, etc. While I have experience in events, not so much on weddings. Paige knows the ins and outs. We had our wedding at the Elms hotel in Excelsior Springs a historic and beautiful hotel, but there are some different things to consider at this type of venue. Plus, we also did a brunch wedding, while wonderful, is not as common. So the communication and flow really needed to be clearPaige was a step ahead of at all times. Paige also assisted with coordinating our decor and those little touches of welcome bags, cake boxes and guest gifts. I am so pleased with her services and her attention to the tiniest of details as that what made the difference to us and our guests. She will tackle the largest aspects of your wedding but also the smallest. It was a comfort to have her professionalism leading up to the wedding and the day of. Best wishes in your wedding and marriage journey to all those who may be reading this. The ceremony and celebration goes by fast! Soak it all in! LAP

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.

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.

Where do I begin? I knew Sofi was the right wedding coordinator for our August 2024 wedding within the first 5 minutes of our initial call. She's warm, confident and so patient - not to mention it felt like talking to someone I'd been friends with for years, not someone I was hiring. The two most valuable pieces of working with her was she starts weeks before the wedding, communicating to all our wedding vendors and perfecting the timeline. Not ONE SINGLE vendor or guest asked me a question on my wedding day!! What a dream. The second is that she is confident in taking charge of all the little micro decisions and issues that come up on wedding day. She just took care of it all so I could be present and enjoy the day. I was so relaxed during wedding day that I was ANXIOUS about how relaxed I was. All thanks to Sofi. Bonus points for the software you get access to when you work with her - it was incredibly helpful in the planning process. Hiring Sofi was the best wedding decision we made. I wish I had hired her to be our full or partial wedding planner. You are in the very best of hands with her and her team!
