While I will always take your wedding vision seriously, I’m also always ready with a well-timed joke to lighten the mood if things ever get a bit stressful (though my husband claims I’m a maker of bad jokes—but hey, the first rule of marriage is she's always right, right? Kidding!).
That’s why organization and logistics are where I find my joy, and I'm the kind of person who likes to have a plan for everything I do. Flying by the seat of my pants? Not my style.
As a mom of two tiny humans and two large dogs, and spouse of a first responder, thriving amidst chaos is second nature to me. Wherever life has taken me, I've always found myself right in the heart of chaotic situations, transforming what others might find overwhelming into perfectly manageable moments.
I’m a go-with-the-flow person while being meticulous about your wedding planning and execution.

I'm probably chasing my kids around, exploring outside, at the gym, 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 indulding in the latest fantasy romance literature (faeries, bat boys, magic, badass female main characters anyone?). Chips and Salsa with my girls are the solution to all life's problems so you'll often me there, too.
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.

Crafting love stories, one wedding at a time, with a touch of chaos-turned-magic.
I’m not here to just follow a generic checklist to check off task after task and call it ‘good.’ No freaking way.
I'm here to genuinely connect with you and get to know you, both as individuals and as a couple. My absolute favorite part of what I do is building meaningful relationships with the people I work with, whether it's vendors or couples like you.
I want to hear about your love story, from the first moment you met to the day of your proposal and everything in between. Your wedding should be a true reflection of your story together, and getting to know you is how I’m able to help guide you and weave those personal touches into every aspect of your special day.
I've been told I’m 'not a surface-level friend,' and that mirrors exactly how I approach my work.

Booking Dylan as a full service planner for our wedding made the whole planning experience amazing. I would 100% recommend anyone considering a wedding planner to DO IT and anyone considering booking Wild Rose Weddings and Events to DO IT.
During the planning process Dylan handled all the big logistical stuff so my fiance and I could do the fun stuff like making pinterest boards for design inspo, picking outfits, and tasting cake. We never had a specific vision for our day or specific vendors in mind so Dylan brought great recommendations. The team of vendors she pulled together was amazing and made the day great!

“You definitely won't regret hiring her for your wedding or elopement. She's one of the best in the business!”
Dylan was absolutely PHENOMENAL!! Honestly, I don't what we would have done without her. She helped make sure all the details of our wedding came together seamlessly despite some unanticipated bumps in the road in the days leading up to the wedding. She was professional, prepared, and extremely good at her job. She far exceeded our expectations and went well above and beyond what we asked of her.

I knew right away from the consultation that Dylan was the wedding coordinator for me. I reserved her Day-of Coordination package and she did not disappoint. Even though I reserved her services for the day of my wedding, she was in communication with me months prior to the date - helping me to choose colors and providing vendor recommendations I didn’t even know existed. She instantly understood the vibes I was trying to achieve and her attention to detail made the whole day come together perfectly. I seriously could not have done this day without her!!
