I'm Dylan, and I'm the face behind Wild Rose Weddings and Events.
As a mom of two tiny humans and two large dogs and the spouse of a first responder, surviving and THRIVING in chaos is essentially what makes me, me.
I'm so glad you're here.
Get to Know Me
Everywhere I've ever been, I've always found myself amidst chaotic situations, fixing and turning what others might find overwhelming, into a perfectly normal situation.
This has spanned across many different industries and experiences. While I will always call Alaska "home", I have lived in both Italy and Washington, D.C., doing various different jobs in the military sector- I was even involved in the logistics of the 2016 Nuclear Security Summit in the D.C. Area (if that isn't chaos, then I don't know what is).
My heart was calling me home to these mountains that I was raised in, so I left that life behind to pursue a life back home.

In 2018, I graduated college with a Bachelor's Degree in Hospitality Management with a focus in Meeting & Event Planning. I focussed my studies on weddings and completed my college internship in beautiful, Northern Virginia Wine Country.
In 2022, I earned my certification as a Certified Wedding Planner. My love for weddings stems from connecting with my couples and knowing that not only am I planning the logistics of their day, but I'm also creating and designing an event that was born from the two people who love each other enough to want to spend forever together.
THAT is special. It's more than just the logistics, the timeline, the production and coordination. It's about creating something that tells a story.
As your wedding planner, I am the last person you see as you take the arm of someone special and walk down the aisle to see your partner. I am the last person to say, "take a deep breath, this is YOUR day" before I send you down the aisle to marry the love of your life.
Being a part of these small moments fills my heart with joy, and reminds me just how HONORED I am to serve my couples.
So, are you ready to plan the best day ever? I AM!
I'm probably chasing my kids around, exploring outside, riding my Peloton, visiting my friends (the Highland Cows, let's be honest here) at the Williams Reindeer Farm (no seriously, we can usually be found there at least once a week in the summer), or shamelessly scrolling TikTok to giggle at ridiculous dance trends *that I will never do*.
My husband and I love to get pizza from our favorite Brewery (Bear Paw River Brewing), go to Costco because- adulting, and get projects done around our house when we have free time... which is rare, but it's worth noting purely for the good pizza recommendation.
When I'm not planning weddings...
