“Rocket Science Events is hands down the best.”
“Dwayne and I are both busy professionals living in two different states, so we knew we needed someone we could trust to understand what mattered most to us for our day, to translate that into a beautiful design and to execute it to perfection, and that is what we got with Gretchen!
The only thing better than seeing how well she captured our vibe in the design meeting, was seeing the finished product come to life. We really truly handed her and her talented team of vendors the "keys" to our day, trusting her totally.
While it has been more than six months since our big day, rarely does a day go by that” I don't watch the video or look at the photos of the day. And when I do, I can't help but smile. It was a day full of flawless memories to last a lifetime.”

“Gretchen went above and beyond for the Be Sage Conference design in 2020. She transformed the space at VUKA Austin into a creative and whimsical environment that offered an incredible experience for our conference attendees. Gretchen has an artistic vision and it’s amazing to watch her team put those dreams into reality.”

“Gretchen’s dedication to our wedding and making us feel like we were her only clients resulted in such a beautiful wedding for not only us but our guests, too. ”
“We had such a fantastic experience working with Gretchen and her team. Every planning and design meeting was a blast, and we felt like we were chatting with one of our best friends instead of making huge decisions that would significantly impact our wedding. The design Gretchen meticulously put together was unimaginably gorgeous and perfectly captured the aesthetic we both dreamt of for a winter wedding. We had specific desires, especially regarding arguably minute details. We ended up with exactly what we wanted every single time. Gretchen didn’t miss a single detail along the way; everything was thought of, communicated, planned for, handled, and executed perfectly. Gretchen brought so much knowledge of the wedding landscape in the Twin Cities and expertly guided us through every decision, from venue to caterer down to glassware and flatware. It was important that our wedding be well-executed and that the event wow our guests. Having Gretchen there on the day of our wedding was priceless. Everything was just where it needed to be, exactly when it needed to be there.”

"Through a very lucky series of clicks, I found the Rocket Science Events website. Gretchen Culver and her team were amazing from start to finish. First, Gretchen listened and helped us clarify our priorities, then referred us to trusted and equally cool and talented vendors. Every pick was perfect! Gretchen’s help and guidance gave me the space to spend time with my fiancée, think about music and vows – and most importantly, be present on my wedding day to experience the miracle of finding my love and the fun of celebrating our marriage with our closest family and friends."

“I can't begin to say what Gretchen and the Rocket Science team gave to us by planning our wedding! We felt at ease, understood, and excited by all of Gretchen's creativity at every step of planning. Being out of state and trying to plan the most important event of our lives felt nearly impossible, but we had a partner the whole way through that brought our vision (and more) to life and took away all of the extra baggage of stress.”

“Gretchen went above and beyond in every way. She genuinely listened to our ideas and vision, and was fantastically innovative.”
"Gretchen turned a difficult year into a perfectly wonderful one. My groom was diagnosed with cancer three months before the wedding. We didn’t think we could keep going with the wedding, but not moving forward felt like giving up. Gretchen was amazing. She did not bat an eye when I asked if we could put the whole thing off a year, even cajoled our vendors into adapting to our decision, and then was completely supportive when we decided to go ahead as originally planned. I will always remember how very beautiful my wedding was. Gretchen is an unflappable, witty, and resourceful jewel."

"Working with Gretchen was an amazing experience, and we can’t imagine putting on our wedding without her! At our first meeting, we had lofty ideas, including inviting all our guests to join us in a bicycle procession from the ceremony to the reception site. Gretchen’s reaction reflected nothing other than positivity, reassurance, and excitement… even though I’m sure in her head she knew it was a logistical nightmare! For every idea we had, Gretchen fully embraced and helped us to achieve our most personalized and wonderful wedding day. She spent hours attending to every last detail while putting our minds at ease so we could fully enjoy our day. Words can’t express our gratitude for everything that Gretchen did, and we formed a wonderful friendship along the way. "

"We planned our Minneapolis wedding from New York City, and Gretchen managed the year-long extravaganza with great generosity and ease. Her wild creativity, combined with her wealth of experience producing events in Minneapolis, made making decisions about every minute detail a delight. We had an abundance of time to imagine and re-imagine every detail of our wedding weekend, and Gretchen never lost her patience with us — armed with a healthy sense of humor and mad skills, she was always committed to finding a solution that we loved. "
