Weddings that are unapologetically awesome
You want an incredible wedding.
But right now, you’re drowning in inspiration and opinions. Between Pinterest, TikTok, Reddit, family, and friends, you’re overflowing with ideas - but terrified of making the wrong decision. You’re busy and don’t want to spend your few free hours planning a wedding. You know what you like, but turning that into a cohesive, original, authentic celebration feels nearly impossible.
Let us show you what’s possible.
With Rocket Science Events
Your planning feels streamlined and fun - no wasted time or money.
Your wedding isn’t just “pretty” - it’s original, immersive, and alive, the kind of night your guests can’t stop raving about.
Your ideas you shared with us? We've pushed them further, turning them into something more magical than you imagined on your own.
You spot details that feel like you: your story, your humor, your style threaded through every moment.
You’re fully present. Laughing with your friends, holding your partner’s hand, and yes, tasting the food you picked.
You’ll experience a one-of-a-kind celebration where you are both the inspiration and the honored guest.
Our weddings are engineered with a focus on connection and creativity, utilizing our years of experience and love of hospitality.
Rocket Science Events is your partner for a wedding that transcends the ordinary. We handle the planning, design, logistics, and guest experience from start to finish. With more than 20 years of producing standout weddings around the world, we bring both big-picture vision and serious know‑how to your day.
We tap into our global network of vendors - artists, chefs, musicians, production teams - curated and managed for you. Our trusted industry relationships means you get access to top talent you won’t find by searching Google or Instagram. Think of us as your short cut to an incredible wedding: we know what works, what doesn’t, and where your budget will make the biggest impact.
From our first conversation to the final farewell, we offer concierge‑level service and stay in the details so you don’t have to. Most importantly, we take the time to truly get to know you - your story, your values, your quirks - so your wedding feels like an authentic reflection of who you are.

Meet Gretchen
Gretchen Culver is the creative mind behind Rocket Science Events. Named one of the “30 Under 40 to Watch” by Special Events magazine and one of the BizBash 500 “Most Influential Event Pros,” her award-winning work has been featured in The Knot, BRIDES, The New York Times, Martha Stewart Weddings, and WedLuxe.
Every wedding I produce is different, but my approach remains the same: consider everything, overlook nothing. I believe in blending innovative design with intentional planning, melding right brain and left brain, balancing creativity and logic. I continuously push myself and evolve my design aesthetic to provide clients with a transformative experience. I’m not just innovating for innovation’s sake; our weddings are grounded in our client’s “why.”
