Rosemary Hattenbach
founder & creative director
Early in her professional life, top wedding planner Rosemary Hattenbach embarked on an intriguing journey with her camera in the desert north of Los Angeles. Tasked with her first assignment for a well-known film director, she studied and captured light patterns as they cast over a vintage gas station. The assignment was one of many on the path to (what she thought) was her dream job as a film industry line producer. Life in the film industry, however, turned out to just be a stop on the journey to her true calling.
Fast forward to today, and she's still chasing the magic of light as a world-class event producer.
Whether Tuscany's San Galgano, the pink sand beaches of the Bahamas, or a private estate in Santa Barbara, she ensures her extraordinary events bask in the perfect glow. Yet, the sun's position is just one of the countless details gleaned from the film industry that she carefully considers when planning thoughtful celebrations.
While Rosemary still draws on the skills, work ethic, and collaborative spirit from her previous role, the context of her work has evolved. These days, she assembles dream teams of culinary artists, designers, and entertainers who share her unwavering belief in the power of collective creativity. Together, they curate events that hit all the right notes. Each moment is intentionally choreographed, with sight, sound, and emotion harmonizing to unfold with effortless grace.
Rosemary herself is the epitome of warmth and down-to-earth charm.
An extrovert at heart, when she's not orchestrating world-class events, she's savoring life with her husband and two sons. She splits her time between her hometown of Los Angeles and her home in Marin County, just north of San Francisco. True to her California roots, she is happiest soaking up the sun with her toes in the sand or sharing an al fresco meal with friends.
