Samantha Rose
Owner & Co-Founder
Samantha has a passion for love, and she loves weddings. Her background is in large scale event planning and didn't waste any time getting into weddings right after college.
Through a lot of hard work, dedication and 15 years of event experience, she built The Bridal Bar.
With the help of her mentors, and alongside a wedding vendor community of strong uplifting individuals, Samantha had found her calling. Her success in the industry has been a testament to her ingenuity, her integrity and especially her passion.
"I want my clients to know that I will always prioritise what they deem is important for their wedding. For some it means have an unforgettable band, for others it can be combining cultural traditions from two ends of the World. Whatever it may be - I do my best to make sure we form a strong connection and build the trust that is so vital to making their most important day a special one".
Although creating long lasting memories for the couple, the guests and the family is so important. Samantha knows a lot of what contributes to these memories are things actually happening behind the scenes. From the guest that has the fussy baby in the ceremony in need of bubbles, to the bride texting she urgently needs sewing scissors in her hotel room, every little piece of the day matters. Those touches are what can truly make the difference.
