I’m Jana — the founder and lead planner behind Rose & Ring Events.
With over a decade of experience in the wedding and events industry, I’ve had the honor of planning and executing more than 500 celebrations throughout East Tennessee and beyond.

My background is a blend of artistry and precision. As a classically trained violinist and a culinary arts graduate, I approach weddings with both creative intuition and a deep appreciation for thoughtful design, seamless logistics, and guest experience. What began in 2014 while catering an intimate wedding reception quickly grew into a lifelong passion for event planning — and eventually, a specialty in destination weddings.

Originally from Charlotte, North Carolina, I’ve always been drawn to the beauty and serenity of the Great Smoky Mountains. Helping couples bring their vision to life in this remarkable setting is at the heart of what I do. From the first planning call to the final send-off, my team and I are dedicated to creating weddings that feel deeply personal, impeccably executed, and entirely stress-free.

My story

you are what you love.

My favorite part of the wedding day is giving couples a few quiet moments after the “I do’s” — time to breathe, soak it all in, and simply be together. Watching them step into the reception for the first time, glowing from that just-married feeling, never gets old.
