An incredible planner!

I am not sure where to begin. What I know for sure is writing a review for Andrea will never come close to expressing how much we appreciated her and how phenomenal she was to work with. As soon as we got off of our initial phone call we knew Andrea would be the perfect planner for us. She completely understood our vision, asked all the right questions and was able to communicate perfectly with us. Andrea and the incredible A. Rose team found us the perfect venue, gave us amazing vendor recommendations, was on top of all the moving pieces and was incredibly responsive. She went above and beyond anything we could have ever imagined!

Working with us through a pandemic - we had changing variables up until a week before our wedding. Andrea was prepared and ready with any information we needed and the best course of action to proceed. Leading up to the big day, Andrea was so hands on and helped us navigate some hiccups with our “non-negotiables” (in a much more professional way than I could ever have communicated with the venue!)

During the day of the wedding Andrea had her superhero cape in tact - my husband and I were able to be 100% present on the day of the wedding. Andrea worked incredibly hard and everything went off without a hitch. It is cheesy - but it was a dream come true!

As someone who is very…hands on and type A myself I wasn’t sure I initially needed a wedding planner when we started planning. HOWEVER I would not have succeeded without Andrea, she is worth EVERY single penny and more. Our whole family has so much love and appreciation for her and our guests flooded us with compliments! ANDREA IS THE BEST RUN DON’T WALK. We love you so much - thank you

Hire Andrea for an absolute dream of a wedding day!

I literally cannot imagine how my wedding would have gone without Andrea.

My husband and I weren’t completely sure that we needed a wedding planner for our relatively simple vision, but after meeting with Andrea we knew we absolutely had to have her on our wedding team. She ended up being an indisputably crucial part of the day, and she and her mom worked tirelessly to make the day of our dreams unfold before our eyes without us having to do a thing the day of! She spent hours with us in person and on the phone, talking through difficult things, checking over contracts, and helping us make our vision come to reality.

If you are even considering hiring a wedding planner, look no further. I guarantee Andrea will make your special day an absolute dream!

The best planner anyone could ask for

Andrea is undoubtably the best wedding planner out there. I have no experience with any others but I am entirely confident in this! Over the course of our two and a half year engagement, Andrea was there every step of the day with quarterly check ins, organizing regular calls, and being a wonderful support with any questions that rose up through the planning process, despite only being our month of planner. She assisted us with florals and decor planning as well, which was such a help as I was totally blind to the process. She created mood boards, brainstormed with us, and created a LOTR dreamland that looked straight out of a Pinterest board.

Best of all, Andrea was a friend throughout everything. I felt so comfortable working with her, and everytime my partner and I spoke with her, we couldn't help but discuss how wonderful she is and how we couldn't have done this without her. I encourage and implore anyone in the area looking for a planner to turn to Andrea - you will not regret it.

So grateful for A. Rose Inspirations!

A. Rose Inspirations was a true joy to work with! We are both so grateful to Andrea and her team for ensuring our wedding day was a stress free dream. From the challenges of wedding planning during covid, to day-of nerves, Andrea was reliable, personable and reassuring. She was so in tune with the unique details of our day that everything came together beautifully. Not only is she incredibly organized and prepared, but she was a fantastic advocate for us as a couple with our other vendors as we planned our big day. She was truly on our side and was the best investment we made during wedding planning. Thank you so so much! We would not have been able to make such joyous memories without A. Rose Inspirations.

Amazing, Incredible, Exceptional!!

These are just a few words to describe Andrea and her team. Andrea was with us from day one, and went through all the ups and downs of planning a pandemic wedding with us. She was always there for me when I had questions about changing the plans, or needed advice once we decided to move our wedding to our backyard. Her attention to detail was incredible leading up to our day.

On our day, words can't even express how grateful my husband and I are for Andrea and her team. They truly made all our wedding dreams come true, she executed every single one of my visions perfectly and went above and beyond in so many ways. We are forever grateful to Andrea for making our wedding day run so smoothly and look so beautiful!! We went looking for a wedding coordinator and found a friend for life!

All our love and gratitude,
Kendra & Aaron

absolutely AMAZING!

Andrea is AMAZING! My wedding day wouldn’t have been what it was without her expertise, professionalism, creativity, and organization! She helped me with all the planing, set up, and tear down. She took care of everything on my wedding day so I didn’t have to worry about a thing. Seriously, one of the best wedding decisions I made!

Our favourite human

Hands down, the best investment we made to our wedding. Andrea made the day just so beautiful and run so smooth! She executed our vision and then some!!! Particularly during covid, it was so hard to navigate all the restrictions and policies to make a wedding happen, but Andrea everything look easy. She is professional, skilled and also so friendly and lovely! We highly recommend!
