Serving couples across Santa Barbara and along the idyllic California Central Coast

wedding planning and design

Like you, we believe “the best of both worlds” is where the magic lies. Imagine a wedding-planning journey as intentional as it is intuitive—one that keeps you involved but never inundated. Envision working with wedding planners who pour their hearts into the big picture—and then pore over every last fine detail. And your wedding day? Imagine walking into an environment that’s defined by luxe design and custom touches—but brought to life by revelry, love, and fun. The flow is effortless. The aesthetic is pure artistry. Every guest touch-point is entirely you. But the energy? Well, the energy is everything.

GIVE YOUR GUESTS

EXTRAORDINARY WEDDINGS DEFINED BY UNFETTERED FUN

Before you can be celebrated, you have to be seen and heard. Each event we produce is rooted in a deep understanding of your priorities. We anticipate your needs, advocate for your best interests, connect you with the most coveted area experts, and get out front and guide you throughout the entire process. When the day arrives—we’re there to ensure everything flows like a dream and that you and your guests are attended to at every turn. Because it’s what we love to do. Because it’s what this moment demands. Because it’s what makes your wedding one they won’t just remember—but one they’ll rave about.

Needs, met. Glasses, raised. Dance floor, packed.

THE CELEBRATIONS

Hi, there. We’re Megan and Nelson—the married team behind Megan Rose Events. We’re as passionate about the pretty parts of wedding planning (bring on the watercolor invitation suite) as we are the production piece (our systems have systems). Together, we keep the planning process incredibly organized, the fresh ideas coming in hot, and you and yours at-peace and ready to party.

Creativity and logistics. Ideas and expertise. Husband and wife.

HIGH PRAISE FROM KIND CLIENTS

Megan made the wedding of our dreams come to life, point blank. Megan's experience, efficiency, and overall positive energy took the stress out of the whole process. Our wedding day was perfect. Like, actually perfect. And it was all because Megan was by our side the entire time.

“THE WEDDING OF OUR DREAMS”

– Katherine & Ryan, Fess Parker Winery

She is detail oriented but never made us feel overwhelmed during the wedding planning process. If we didn't know something, she gave us the tools to help us make an informed decision. It was by far the best money we spent on our wedding! We got so many compliments from our parents, wedding guests, and other vendors on our choice of wedding planner.

“BY FAR THE BEST MONEY WE SPENT”

– Gabriella & Jonathan, Private Estate

As we interacted with the rest of our vendors, it quickly became known that Megan has an incredible reputation in the wedding industry, which we witnessed first hand.

“AN INCREDIBLE REPUTATION”

– Angie & Dave, Rosewood Miramar Beach

She's been working in the industry locally for years and knows every location, band, vendor, and detail inside and out. Partnering with Megan as our wedding planner was such a calming influence—she has amazing taste, is a helpful guide to every aspect of the wedding; she's decisive when necessary, but is also very easygoing. It truly made the day itself the best day of our lives—the way it's supposed to be.

“THE BEST DAY OF OUR LIVES”

– John & Rachael, Whispering Rose Ranch
