Intimate Wedding at Rosewood Miramar Beach

I had the pleasure of working with Rebecca from Imagine Wedding Planning for my special day, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. From the initial planning stages to the day of the wedding, Rebecca was incredibly attentive and supportive. She was always available whenever I needed to talk to her, and her presence throughout the entire process was invaluable.
Rebecca's attention to detail was outstanding. She took the time to listen to all of my wants and needs, ensuring that every aspect of my intimate wedding at Rosewood Miramar Beach was exactly as I had dreamed. I felt completely at ease knowing that Rebecca had everything under control, and she didn't miss a single thing.
Walking into my wedding for the first time before walking down the aisle was a moment I will never forget. I was in awe of how everything had come together so perfectly, and it was all thanks to Rebecca's hard work and dedication. She truly went above and beyond to make sure that my special day exceeded my expectations.
I can wholeheartedly recommend Rebecca and Imagine Wedding Planning to anyone in search of a wedding planner. Her professionalism, attentiveness, and ability to bring dreams to life are truly unmatched. Working with Rebecca was an absolute pleasure, and I will forever be grateful for her role in making my wedding day truly unforgettable.

Magical Fairytale Wedding at SYR

Rebecca was absolutely amazing!! Our wedding day at the San Ysidro Ranch was by far the most magical, amazing day of our lives. All our guests are still raving about how our wedding was the best wedding they have ever attended. From start to finish, not one detail was missing. I happen to be a very detailed, meticulous individual and wanted the day to be perfect. It was perfect! Rebecca took my vision and made my dream wedding a reality. All the vendors she works with were not only the best in the business, they were wonderful to work with. Everything she suggested was spot on. I felt the entire weekend went so smooth due to having Rebecca overseeing it all. We leaned on Rebecca for a lot because we live in Park City and we didn't know Santa Barbara very well. She took all the stress out of planning this wedding. The accommodations, transportation, photographer, videographer, floral designer, invitations, live painter, entertainment, rentals and all her suggestions along the way made such an impact on the final outcome. I highly recommend Imagine Weddings & Special Events.
