    We can never thank Jen enough for bringing our dream wedding to life! We absolutely LOVED working with her. Our venue, Malibu West Beach Club, recommended Burlap and Rose/Jen to us and we couldn't have asked for a better partner in planning our big day. On our very first phone call with Jen, we could tell she truly cared. She is extremely responsive with email/phone calls and made us feel supported every step of the way. ...

    Jen and her team are amazing. Let me just start by saying that less than 2 months before the wedding we had to change venues! Jen somehow magically managed to find us a bunch of beautiful venues, in our budget (!), made looking for a new spot fun, and we ended up with a totally gorgeous venue. I had a few other hiccups leading up to the wedding day (hello dress disaster), and she made sure it all worked out perfectly, and held my hand through my meltdowns. ...

    My husband and I worked with Burlap and Rose for our wedding this past August 2016. We worked with Jennifer, Tracy, Waverly, and Emily to do our day of coordination (it’s more like month of) and we could not be happier with our decision. These ladies took such good care of us and really made us feel completely relaxed on our big day. The team was so responsive throughout the whole process and answered all of our questions/gave great advice and helped keep us on track. ...

    Burlap & Rose is the best!!! I had such a delightful experience working with Jennifer and her team for both coordination and florals, and I cannot recommend them more highly.

    I'll start off by saying that, in the early days of planning, I questioned whether or not I needed a coordinator at all (I'm a very organized person and assumed I'd be totally fine to do everything myself). Now that the wedding is all said and done, I can confidently say I would NOT have survived the day if I didn't have a coordinator by my side. (For all those planning out there: seriously, it's the best use of money--get yourself a coordinator!!!!) ...
