As 2025 comes to a close, I truly can’t be more thankful than I am now for all of the love and support from our couples, vendors, and my team this year.

I want to say a huge thank you - every year making this recap video makes me emotional, but this year especially. This was the year I rebranded Firmly Rooted Events to showcase more of our team, and the year that I finally became full-time in my business! I can’t believe how quickly we were able to grow so I could fully focus on the job I love. There are so many other things that happened that were SO good too. We had an absolute blast with our 54 couples this year and hitting over 100 weddings this year, and are so grateful for all the trust in us.

This was also the year of extreme loss for me. Last year was tough through my dad’s brain cancer diagnosis, and losing him this year was no match. I really leaned on my friends, family, and the love I got to witness every weekend. I just have to say I am so thankful for the grace, kindness, and happiness I got to be a part of and share even through such rough times.

I really appreciate all of the support all around. I’m really feeling the love on so many levels and I am looking forward to what is to come in 2026. We have 41 couples already working with us and 3 for 2027 already! Thank you again and I hope your year is filled with love, growth, and happiness.

- Rachel

It’s a big decision, we get it and to top it off, you’re not sure what happens if your coordinator has an emergency the “day of”. Give this FAQ answer a review to ease your mind, we’ve got you covered.

Q: What happens if our coordinator has an emergency on our wedding day?

A: Firmly Rooted Events has a team of backup coordinators who we work with if there’s an emergency involving your coordinators, such as: a car accident, illness, family emergency, etc.. This is one of the many benefits of working with us, we are a team, not a one woman show. Additionally, having 2 coordinators included in our package, means you will always have someone there to guide you and your guests on your wedding day.

Ali and Jay’s baby blue and white August wedding at Galleria Marchetti was one of those weddings that felt effortlessly elevated from beginning to end. Modern, joyful, and full of meaningful details that reflected the newlyweds themselves.

From their glimmering heart ruffle wedding cake (yes… the viral one), to a late-night gelato bar that had guests lined up and smiling, every moment was designed with intention. Add in dynamic florals from Flowers for Dreams, romantic portraits, and a dance floor that stayed full all night, and you’ve got a celebration that was truly unforgettable.

We were honored to stand behind the scenes coordinating the flow of their day so Ali & Jay could stay present, relaxed, and surrounded by the people they love most.Browse more wedding photos and details on the Firmly Rooted Events’ blog post and congratulations again to these newlyweds!
