Rose Rocc Weddings & Events are event planners for the DIY couple. “What is a DIY couple,” you may ask? A DIY couple is excited to plan their own wedding and confident in booking their own vendors, but they are looking for some guidance in the planning process and on the day of their wedding. We offer three planning packages: month of coordination, partial planning, and full planning (for our not so DIY loves!).
Serving The Triangle and The Triad
It’s so important to choose vendors you vibe with. If you are Type A, you feel you can do it all. And while you can, your wedding day should be a day that you actually enjoy every moment without worrying about all the details. That’s where we come in. I am a Type A person just like you and look to provide the support to couples that I would expect from myself. My style is casual yet professional with a calm, get-it-done attitude. When we work together, you will have peace of mind that I have your back!
Event planning like you are talking to a friend with the guidance of a professional. That is our motto.
We specialize in assisting DIY couples in planning their special day. A DIY couple is excited for the experience of planning their wedding. They’re confident they can organize, find, and decide on vendors that meet their own personal style. DIY does not necessarily mean you are crafting, although it can!
We help couples identify what means the most to them and determine a budget that they are comfortable with then find vendors that match their budget as well as their personal style. Our packages are customized to meet the needs of each couple.
We offer three packages including The Planning Guardian (our full planning option),The Virtual Planning Assistant (partial planning option), and Month of Coordination (wedding management). Our most popular package is our partial planning package, The Virtual Planning Assistant, because its like having a friend you can trust while also having the guidance of a professional in planning your big day.
While weddings allow me to be creative, my real creative outlet is baking. French macarons are my favorite because even when you think you’ve mastered it, you either find a new way to improve it or really mess it up! (If you bake these, you know lol). I am a huge fan of audio books and enjoy listening to them in the car and when I go on walks. I just finished The Silent Patient and The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo, and am about half way through Mad Honey. I also enjoy powerlifting and dancing – I know, totally opposite activities, but life is too short to not try new things!
A: Sam Roccapriore – Owner and Lead Planner
Q: What’s a fun fact about yourself?
A: I love to bake french macarons.
Q: What is an elopement?
A: An elopement, to me, is having the most important people with you on your wedding day.
Q: Is there a wedding detail on your bucket list?
A: I’d love to inspire a couple to do a disco ball installation – they are such a fun trend right now!
Q: Tell us about your favorite elopement!
A: One of my favorite elopement ceremonies had something special for all the important people in the couple’s lives. Most notably, they had each of their mothers hold the rings and their grandmothers were the flower girls.
“The best decision I made on my wedding day was marrying my wife, but the second best decision was hiring Sam. I sincerely mean it when I say Sam made.the.night.happen. She is both personable and professional, with a crystal clear understanding of the small and big logistical details that go on behind the scenes to make a night magical. She had such a sound understanding of the timing of different events that our wedding party were beginning to wonder if she had secretly placed trackers on everyone – Sam has a sixth sense to know when people need to be where and how to get them there! My wife and I are quite frugal, and originally were not planning on having a day of coordinator. Now after the fact, we cannot envision the night having gone off as perfectly as it did without Sam – she is an integral fixture in our memory of the night, and allowed us to really enjoy the moment. We HIGHLY recommend Sam for any of your event needs – she is absolute dynamite! Thank you, Sam, for everything.”
