Creativity in Bloom at The Rosebriar Mansion

Celebrating the Talents of Oregon Coast Event Professionals  

After moving to the Oregon Coast two years ago and starting an event business, I often found myself clicking my ruby red slippers and longing for the comforts of my former hometown (you are not in Cleveland anymore). Understanding that successful events come together with the help of a trusted team of industry professionals, I had quite a bit of homework to do in this unique corner of the earth.

While navigating through these growing pains, I’ve been delighted to connect with a group of Oregon Coast event professionals who also share a love of creating fun and memorable occasions.

Welcome to The Rosebriar
As an event planner in the Pacific Northwest, I enjoy working at historic venues as they lend a story to tell. Located in Astoria, Oregon, The Rosebriar Mansion is a charming and artfully designed event space and vacation rental.

The Rosebriar is a lovely venue for small weddings, elopements, private dinners, milestones, and business gatherings. The rental offers access to six guestrooms and a private Carriage House suite.

Throughout the home you will find lush textures, vibrant jewel tones, and a blend of modern and antique accents with décor direction by Vintage Hardware of Astoria…a hint of beauty at every turn.

Owners of The Rosebriar, Trudy and Djordje Citovic recently shared their home with J. Rickey Events and a team of Oregon Coast event professionals for a day of creative collaboration and a garden party open to the community.


Rose Colored Daydreams

To bring our garden party daydreams to life, the creative team enlisted Mia Norlander, owner of Bloomin Crazy Floral. Mia designed the dreamiest florals for the vibrant, garden rose-inspired party. Upon last-minute request, the Bloomin Crazy team also created a climbing garden wall that doubled as a privacy fence with greens sourced from The Flower Stand, Walluski Loop, Astoria.

Bloomin Crazy Floral offers fresh-cut local flowers, plants, gifts, and dazzling arrangements for weddings and milestones.

Food, But Make It Fashion!
When it comes to offering exceptional food with complimentary style rely on the culinary talents of Lavonne Cimbak of Sage Bleu Catering. Lavonne arranged a food wall set with savory bites that almost flirted with guests from the shelves.

Sage Bleu offers an elegant and custom event experience for Oregon Coast weddings, corporate events, and in-home chef dinners.

To round off the sweeter side of the menu, McKenzie Hammon of Miss Red’s Catering Co shared custom confectionary creations with guests. Based in Tillamook, Oregon Miss Red’s Catering Co adds fun and handcrafted detail to desserts.

A Cup of Cheer

One part professional beverage service and one part charming duo, Sara Kate and Katie Heater of King Tide Mobile Beverage Co. shared an enticing lineup of cocktails and fresh non-alcoholic options for The Rosebriar garden party. King Tide Mobile Beverage offers a hospitality-focused team with a mobile bar and custom drink menus.

A Rare Rose
Guests at the garden party were greeted by the art of Mari and Abigail Nab of Pine & Seed. They are a mother-and-daughter team of artists who offer handmade designs and greeting cards.

Pine & Seed designed a signature watercolor rose for The Rosebriar. The custom rose was featured on the garden party invitation suite, welcome signage, and the menus for a tablescape designed by J. Rickey Events.

Beyond Essentials
The team at Cannon Beach Party Rentals arranged a champagne wall and hoop arch to add a layer of whimsy to the Rosebriar garden party.

CBPR offers an expanding collection of event rentals including beach setups and custom builds from an in-house craftsman. CBPR provided décor installation and lighting for The Rosebriar garden party. The positive energy of the Cannon Beach Party Rental team always radiates!
