Who I am

Hi, I’m Samantha — founder of The Last Rose Weddings and the calm in the middle of your wedding day whirlwind.

My couples often tell me the same thing:

“You made it feel easy.”

“You handled everything.”

“I didn’t have to think once.”

That’s the goal.

I don’t just coordinate timelines and logistics. I create structure so you can be fully present. I anticipate what you don’t see coming. I protect your experience, your vendors, your family dynamics, and the flow of your day — all while making it look seamless.

From the moment you book, I step in as your strategic partner. I’ll guide you when decisions feel overwhelming, keep momentum when planning stalls, and step up with confidence when it’s time to lead. When the wedding day arrives, you won’t find me guessing — you’ll find me directing, refining, adjusting, and making sure every detail unfolds exactly as it should.

Whether it’s a 250-guest celebration or an intimate, intentional gathering, I approach every wedding with the same mindset: thoughtful planning, clear communication, and zero chaos.

The Last Rose Weddings isn’t about checking boxes. It’s about creating a day that feels elevated, effortless, and unmistakably you.

And when the night ends? You’ll remember how it felt — not how hard it was to get there.

Past clients have said…

  • Sam is different than other wedding planners because she radiates this positive joy and energy that is infectious to everyone around her, which in return allows everyone to relax and truly enjoy themselves because you know Sam is two steps ahead of the game & has everything taken care of.

    Maya

  • We hired Sam to help out at rehearsal and all day wedding day! She was amazing. She knew what we needed before we even knew. She was so thoughtful and was great to have around, all my bridesmaids loved her. While she was with us all day, she ensured to capture all the little moments on my phone so I had pictures to see immediately the next day. She even surprised us with taking videos of our guests wishing us well. Truly cannot recommend her more!

    Hannah

  • I cannot recommend Sam enough! She was the day-of coordinator at my wedding, and she made everything run smoothly and effortlessly. From managing the timeline to coordinating with vendors, she took all the stress off my shoulders, allowing me to truly enjoy my day.

When I am not wedding planning…

  • I am probably playing with my pup, Rosie!

    She loves all the belly rubs, running in the sand at the beach, and taking lots of naps.

  • You can catch me taking a pilates class!

    My favorite studio is Carries Pilates- Saddleback

  • I might be enjoying a glass of wine with friends!

    Or some chips with salsa and a margarita!

  • I like to play indoor and beach volleyball

    but just for fun- we left the competitive scene in college!

  • The odds of me planning my next vacation is very high!

    Self-care is important, what can I say?

  • I am probably listening to country music!

    Just know when you have country music in your playlist I do a little happy dance inside!

  • I am thinking about how to add all the personal touches to your special day!

    I am always looking for ways to make your wedding or event that much more special!
