MEET RACHEL
Maggie & Ross
"Her team went out of her way to be places when I couldn't and to take care of issues with vendors. I also enjoyed working with them on a personal level. They are wonderfully positive and always made me feel supported."
From the very first call with Rachel, I knew I was in good hands.
LOVE NOTES
Chris & David
"Rachel and her team covered every detail, large and small (including making sure our toast-givers had a drink in hand for their speeches). They did not miss a beat and were also incredibly upbeat. Their presence was noted in a very positive way, not in a way that detracted from our day or created any stress."
The best coordinator ever for a 200 guests queer wedding!
LOVE NOTES
Lucy & Alex
"You don't realize how comforting it is to have someone in your corner who is unbiased and is solely there to make sure you (as the bride) are ok on your big day. She handled family dynamics ease and felt more like a friend by the end of the night then a vendor."
YOU NEED RACHEL IN YOUR CORNER!
LOVE NOTES
Lisa (Mother of the Bride)
"She is amazing and brought to life the vision that each of my girls had for their special day. Her patience, attention to all details and knowledge from the beginning to the day of the wedding are so impressive."
Rachel was our wedding planner for 2 of our daughter's weddings!
LOVE NOTES
Elisabeth & Shelton
"Rachel was truly the best decision we made for our wedding. It honestly felt like she was inside the bride’s brain. Every time we mentioned an idea, she already had a thoughtful, strategic plan to bring it to life. She is creative, has an incredible aesthetic eye, and balances vision with flawless execution."
If You Book Anyone, Book Rachel- Worth Every Penny and Then Some.
LOVE NOTES
Sarah & Ted
"From beginning to end, Rachel thought of literally everything. Our wedding was actually perfect and nothing went wrong, or at least I don’t if anything did because Rachel took care of it. She is the kindest and brought such a calm and professional energy to the day."
She completely understood our vision and immediately had great ideas.
LOVE NOTES
Sarah & Caleb
"Throughout the process, we had several calls to make sure we were hitting our milestones on time and she guided us through every big decision we needed to make. You can tell she loves this work, and she is obsessed with every detail (which is EXACTLY what you want from a plan team)."
Rachel ensured that our wedding was planned, designed, and executed exactly how we wanted.
LOVE NOTES
Chloe & Danny
"And that's in large part because of Rachel. She's the perfect wedding planner. She's an expert, she's thoughtful, she's incredibly organized, and she kept us moving forward and checking things off the list (many of which we would've never thought of ourselves without her)."
Our wedding was exactly what we hoped it would be.
LOVE NOTES
Taylor & Sean
"My mom hates public speaking with a passion and her first words during our welcome speech we’re a tribute to Rachel and her team being so amazing. If you want your entire wedding experience to be as stress free with someone supporting you and being a major boss all around handling things you never even thought of, Rachel is your gal."
If you’re looking for a sign that you’ve found the right planner, this is it.
LOVE NOTES
Cassie & Xavier
"Rachel thought of everything, including when the forecast looked stormy a week in advance and she coordinated a rain plan alternative with all our vendors. She also provided excellent vendor recommendations that we ended up booking. Her and her team on the day of the wedding was fantastic and made us feel so comfortable."
The Perfect wedding planner.
