What is the starting price for partial wedding planning?
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
A Rose Inspirations's reply:
Tori and Matt…
I too don’t know where to begin with the two of you. The amount of love and honour I have in being your wedding planner in unmeasurable. Not only did we overcome some crazy COVID obstacles together but we had some really real moments that created some great memories and laughs along the way. I loved all of our late night calls, always with the first 30 minutes being us gabbing away about everything any anything. I am so happy that our professional relationship was founded on a friendship from the get go.
Thank you so much for your trust, kind words and wishing you both so much mushy love… & BRUNCH.

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.
A Rose Inspirations's reply:
Jenna and Andrew - I cannot thank you enough for your kind words, and even more... your trust in me. You two are incredible and I could not be more honoured to have been chosen to help you bring your dream wedding to life. It was picture perfect and reflective of the beautiful couple that you are. All the best!

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!
A Rose Inspirations's reply:

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!
A Rose Inspirations's reply:
I have no words! Thank you so much for this & for letting me be a part of your day. It’s not easy being a covid couple let alone trusting someone else to take the reins. So much love for you & Alec!

Such a positive experience!
I had the pleasure to work along side Andrea in her styled wedding shoot as the model bride. It was my first time doing something like this, and from all the coordination prior to the day, to the actual 7 hr shoot itself, she worked tirelessly and flawlessly to pull off an exceptional day. Her energy was so warm and welcoming, she thoughtfully planned out the whole day, right down to the tiny details to ensure it was a good experience. I will definitely hire her for when it's time for the real wedding!! 😊😊
A Rose Inspirations's reply:
Aww Sarah! Thank you so much!
It was a pleasure having you be our beautiful bride :)
Can’t wait for the real one one day ;)

Made my day special
If you are on the fence on hiring a wedding coordinator for your big day, do it! Our wedding would not have been the same without Andrea and her team. Leading up to our day, Andrea was always available to answer questions and offer advice. She is so wonderful to work with. She is professional, creative and an expert. She is empathetic to how you are feeling and will completely put your mind at ease. If you have a problem, she will solve it. Trust me! My entire wedding party was blown away by how amazing she was. Honestly, my wedding was weeks ago and they're still raving about her.
A Rose Inspirations's reply:
Kim! Thank you so much for these kind words. You & Jeremy were a pleasure to work with, not to mention your amazing bridal party & families. We are so honoured to have worked with you & wish you both so much happiness in your new marriage xo

A Rose Inspiration - Best decision we made about planning my daughter's wedding!
I am the Mother of the Bride (MOB) and cannot rave enough about Andrea and her services. We used Andrea for full planning of my daughter's Wedding. Andrea was sensitive to my daughter's needs and wishes while keeping in mind our budget and was able to deliver a beautiful, fun and romantic event capturing the mood that my daughter envisioned. The wedding party, family and guests all enjoyed the Wedding thoroughly. Andrea was key in negotiating contracts with the venue and vendors, sourcing wish list items like Marquee Letters, and managed the many details involved in putting together the Wedding which entails many moving parts. Andrea's people skills came in very handy and we left it to her to deal with some difficult issues and negotiate compromises that needed to be dealt with. She did all this with grace and calm, taking the stress out of the planning. Our guests couldn't compliment us enough on how lovely the Wedding was and how it fit so well with the personalities of the bride and groom. Thank you Andrea for making the Wedding a huge hit!

We couldn't have done it without you!
Working with Andrea was the best decision I made for my wedding. Without a doubt, our big day would not have been possible without the help of Andrea and her team. We hired A. Rose for Day-Of coordination services and she executed our vision perfectly. As the wedding day drew near, I was in contact with Andrea over phone and email quite a bit. Every time I thought of even the smallest detail that I didn't want to forget, I would shoot her a text and I knew she would take care of it. It was such a sense of relief to know that our wedding planner put just as much care, effort and energy as she would her own big day. The part I enjoyed most of Andrea's planning process was the shared Master Timeline file that I was able to access online at any time. She created a timeline for the wedding day based on our vision and we were able to access the up-to-date file right up until the night before the wedding to make sure that no detail was overlooked. I was a ball of nerves before the ceremony and when I walked into our venue, everything was exactly where it needed to be -- my stress was (mostly) eased for the rest of the day. Thank You SO MUCH Andrea and Rose for making our day unforgettable, I'll say it again for the millionth time, we couldn't have done it without you :) xo
