From grand gestures to the smallest expressions of hospitality, every detail is orchestrated to create a meaningful and refined experience that is entirely yours.

The Story Behind Kimberly Rose

The name Kimberly Rose is deeply personal. It honors my mother, Kim, and my sister, Carolyn Rose - two women whose unwavering support and encouragement have shaped both my life and career. Their strength and grace continue to inspire the work I do each day.

By carrying their names forward, Kimberly Rose Events is rooted not only in artistry and excellence, but also in legacy and gratitude. Each wedding we create is a reflection of that foundation: timeless, intentional, and touched with meaning.

“Melanie is the best of the best, she is a true consummate professional who made our entire wedding planning process such a breeze. Melanie used her decades long experience to match us with the best vendors for our vision and to help us execute our dream day. She is responsive, professional, communicative, and extremely well connected (seriously, everyone in the industry knows her and loves her). I cannot emphasize enough how easy Melanie made the entire process. She kept us on track and eased any worries we had throughout the wedding process and on our big day. I’m so glad to be married but sad to do it only once because it means we can’t use Melanie again!.”
