Bad Boss Bride

5 stars is not nearly enough for Bad Boss Bride. When we decided to plan an elopement, we knew we still wanted it to be something very singular and special and in another state from our home. Because we were planning this in a place that we weren't really connected in, we wanted to find a planner who might work with us to create a singular day for ourselves. Bad Boss Bride was exactly what we were looking for: her expertise in the region helped us cut through the many potential vendors to find the exact fits for us, and she even worked up a special contract to allow us our own tweaks and adjustments, and any nugget of an idea we might bring up was almost instantly realized in some way that we might not have been able to even consider. Rachael just knows how to get it done. She was communicative, encouraging, open to all our ideas, and on the day the entire team was swift and sweet, and their warmth and kindness went miles to make us feel at ease (especially since we didn't have any friends or family with us). Her assistant was a treasure, helping iron out the small details that even in an elopement tend to pile up, and her husband was also there to help with a number of other background tasks. Because of BBB we were able to fully enjoy our day knowing that the little (but vital!) things were in the right hands, and beyond that, the generous and celebratory spirit of the entire BBB team went that much further in making the day magical.

Rachael was a life saver! She found us the perfect venue for our wedding, helped navigate finding vendors, and made the day of the wedding run so smoothly! She and her team also decorated for the ceremony and reception, and they looked beautiful!

Rachael took our whole vision and put it into real life. My husband was apprehensive about using a planner in the first place, thinking we could “save and do things ourselves since it’s a small wedding “. That statement was so wrong and my husband thankfully even admits it after our amazing day! :) if you have a small wedding, it’s even more important that you get the chance to celebrate the day with your loved ones, and a planner like Rachael will really help you create that experience. We keep talking about how happy we are Rachael was there to make our microwedding day so special. I don’t think we ever imagined having such a beautiful wedding day, and it was really all thanks to Rachael’s carefully thought out recommendations and creations. From the table pieces she made and then the photographer, venue, and even the truly talented guitar player/singer she recommended. It was the most beautiful day of our lives. And it was our wedding! We were able to spend more time with family and the ones we love because Rachael kept things running smoothly on our day. There is so much value to using a planner, especially Rachael, on your day. A lot of people ask me if we spent more than we actually did on our the day. But it was thanks to Rachael’s special touches and care that we can look back on this day and think about it in the happy, joyful way that we do.

Because of the pandemic, we had to cancel our destination wedding plans and shifted to a local intimate ceremony and dinner instead. I had 4 months to book a whole new team of vendors to keep our original date, and I'm so glad Rachael was the first one I hired. She has a background as a producer so understands event design and run of show. We just clicked. She absolutely crushed the day-of coordination and floral design -- insane that she does BOTH and offers reasonable package pricing. At no point in the entire process did my husband and I feel stressed or worried about any of the details. She took our direction well but offered her own creative opinion on everything -- it was a nice balance. She recommended a great photographer and rentals vendor that we're so glad we added to our dream team. She handled the setup and breakdown of our event with ease within a tight timeline. My family and friends had nothing but positive things to say about her and her team's professionalism. It was truly a memorable day in that we were able to just enjoy ourselves. Highly recommend -- BBB is a gem.

We contacted BadBossBride after our wedding was cancelled due to covid-19. Rachael and her team put together our wedding in under THREE WEEKS. Every time I asked if I needed to do something, Rachael already had it done. She is quick to respond and she has an eye for design. Our wedding was a dream and it was better than we could have ever imagined. The BBB team is professional, punctual, and personable. You will not regret using Bad Boss Bride. Rachael and her team will truly make your wedding perfect and will eliminate all the stressors that are associated with weddings! We are so happy and feel so fulfilled with our small wedding that we are choosing to cancel any future big event—that’s how amazing Bad Boss Bride is. Not only is Rachael amazing with design and concept—her contacts within the industry are amazing. We found all of our vendors through her and were impressed with ALL of them. We will be using BBB and the vendors we found through them for every party we have in the future! Thank you Bad Boss Bride for giving us the pinterest wedding of our dreams!

Rachael far exceeded my expectations from day one. Immediately after my fiance and I cancelled our original wedding due to covid restrictions, I found Rachael through a facebook post. I called her instantly. She picked up my phone call and helped immediately start crafting my dream wedding. She was always reliable and super flexible. Rachael answered my texts and calls at all hours of the day/night, which made planning a new wedding in a month's time much easier. Her creativity, energy, and love for weddings made planning during a pandemic fun. She made the experience super personal (sending flowers after my fiance lost his grandfather), and I truly felt as though I was working with a type-A best friend the entire time. The day of, Rachael and her husband set up an INCREDIBLE ceremony and reception.. bringing creativity and special touches to the design. Our day ran super smooth, even with only 35 people. I'd highly recommend Rachael even if you have a tight timeline.

Me and my husband decided to cancel our larger wedding in November due to COVID and elope instead in the end on July. Our photographer has connected us with Rachael to plan our elopement. Since our decision to elope was somewhat spontaneous, we had less than a month to plan our celebration and had no idea what we wanted (or even could want) for our special day. From the first contact, Rachael was patient, professional and supportive. She was ALWAYS on top of everything from contacting vendors to thinking through little details. Multiple times during the planning process she was there to calm my nerves and reassure that, despite everything, we will have the BEST day ever. As a bride, I did not have a set Pinterest board or a clear idea of what I want my wedding to look like (especially since I believed that I still had a lot of time to figure everything out before November). Despite that, Rachael was able to feel our style and create a true fairytale. On the day of the celebration, Rachael and her partner Michael were there for us from setting up and breaking down their amazing decorations to fixing the dress, taking behind-the-scenes picture and videos, looking after our rebellious pups and calming my bridal anxiety. They even brought a steamer, Tide pens and other things that we didn't even thing we might need. They are both amazing and authentic people who made us feel extra special on our wedding day, when all our family and friends were not present. They played our selected songs in the right time (special thanks to Michael for following us around with Bluetooth speaker as we took pictures), live-streamed our entire ceremony for friends and family to see, created our signature drinks and made everything look and feel special. Rachael has an amazing taste such that my mom (who is an interior designer and is extremely hard to satisfy aesthetically) couldn't stop giving her compliments on how beautiful everything looked. I cannot imagine anyone else being in charge of our elopement. If me and my husband (YAYA!) could do it all over again, we would definitely call Bad Boss Bride to plan and style our special day!

Coming from the event industry myself, I was convinced that I could do it all myself. Once the reality set in, I knew I had taken on an impossible task. That’s when I decided to call Bad Boss Bride to the rescue. Rachael has been amazing throughout the entire process! She has eased my stress and calmed my nerves in so many ways. She is incredibly detailed and thorough. She has made wedding planning a breeze and I would recommend Bad Boss Bride to anyone having doubts about hiring assistance.

I would recommend Rachael and bad boss bride to any bride that wants to have an amazing wedding and wedding planning experience. She a fantastic designer, extremely organized, fun and easy to work with! She made the entire experience so much from and stress free! My wedding came out better than I could have imagined!
