Creative Eventology

we hire a wedding planner so that we could fully enjoy our day this time around. We had our sequel wedding at the zoo and knew that we wanted a team that could handle a quirky venue and multiple events in the day. Rachel was super responsive, calling me soon after I sent in a request for more information. We told her that we wanted a church ceremony, a tea-ceremony at a hotel, and a reception at the zoo - all in one day! Rachel said she and her team would have no problem executing it all. Our plans ended up changing a bit (we cut out the church ceremony, added a ceremony to the zoo venue, and incorporated two dress-changes), but Rachel never faltered on her commitment and organization. Rachel communicated with all of our vendors so we didn't have to, and gave them all necessary paperwork. We decided to hire CE for design services, too, because I was feeling overwhelmed. My husband likes simplicity (think: almost no design at all), and I like lots of color, flowers, and things. CE presented us with an incredible design experience, from giving us options of look + feel, to a step-by-step guide of how our wedding would look, always keeping in mind our wants and blending them together. Rachel even designed a custom seating chart, card box, and guest book. She also HAND SCULPTED our cake stand and a topper to make it look like a giraffe. Somehow, our wedding looked EVEN MORE STUNNING than the ideas when it was all said and done. Rachel even did the sweetest thing and put a bleached sunflower in my bouquet to match my other flowers, a nod to my original bouquet. The CE team made sure that we were fed, had time alone, on-time, and relaxed during our day. Abby and Janna stayed with my husband or I all day, and I never had any need that they couldn't (and didn't) address. Abby even fixed my hair and mended my reception dress at one point! I highly recommend Rachel, Abby, and Janna for future parties, and I just wish we could get married a third time to hire them again!

s an outdoor wedding is!! Rachel was the only event planner I talked to on the phone- after our initial call I felt so comfortable with her I immediately booked her and I am so happy I did. I loved the fact I was able to add more of their 'a la carte' planning options to my wedding package. As our date got closer I realized I needed more help in certain areas, so I added a few more options. The day of the wedding we had Abby on site and she was phenomenal! She was there all day helping set up, and was there until the end of the night. She touched base with me throughout the day, and she put all the decorations away for us which was a huge help. I have had guests and my family comment on how great she was! I was told I was 'too chill' of a bride leading up to the wedding and the day off - I have Rachel and Abby to thank for that! :)

allowed my fiancé and I and my family to enjoy our time and the whole weekend instead of stressing about the details. From the first call to the last, they constantly showed us we were in great hands and were so detail oriented. They kept us organized on the day of the wedding but also allowed the day to feel carefree and laid back. From the minute we got there they made sure we had a drink in our hand and everything we needed to have the best night! We are so grateful for the team and would hire them again in a heartbeat!

easy and Rachel was always available when needed. She guided with her thoughts and suggestions but let us make our decisions ourselves. Day of, through all of the chaos and craziness, she was truly the MVP, keeping us on schedule, helping with whatever we needed, and let us just focus on us. I was at such peace during the wedding knowing that Rachel was in control and I could just enjoy my day!

rmed us of the process and the range of support her team could provide right out of the gate. She was always clear and concise, but never short or dismissive of our questions or thoughts. She was extremely prepared for every single call and meeting we had, and her spreadsheet for planning was stuff of excel dreams. My (now) husband and I had chosen a venue that required us to provide EVERYTHING, which at first didn't seem too overwhelming since we were engaged for a year and a half, but life got hectic and we realized we were in over our heads. I knew early on that I wanted some extra help leading up to the wedding and for the weekend of so we chose Rachel's Weekend Of package. If we were to do it again we would hire her from DAY1 and used her expertise much earlier. Even with the 8 weeks she had leading up to the event, she blew it out of the park. She quickly contacted every single vendor, helped us confirm various orders, and shared with us much of her experience so that we could make better decisions regarding things like tent sizes, layouts, timelines etc. She also was able to help me last minute with items I had originally planned on sourcing myself but was unable to. Our experience working with her was absolutely incredible. On top of that, our day was AMAZING, and I say this despite the fact that it was 100% outside on a farm in May with 47F weather, rain, and wind, and 230 guests. Rachel's team worked so hard to make every piece of the day work despite all of the obstacles, and it truly did. We would repeat that exact day over and over again, weather and all. My family also RAVED about Rachel and her team. They each said they were made to feel so special that day and were taken care of the whole night. My mom and dad have given Creative Eventology's name out to everyone they meet, and have even said they want her involved when my sisters get married! I can't recommend this incredible crew enough!!! Good luck finding the perfect coordinator for you, you can't go wrong with Rachel and her team ;)

inator for their wedding, party, or whatever, celebration they are having.

ng to be our planner. She is down to earth and easy to talk to, while also possessing crisp attention to detail and keeping everything on track. Prior to our day-of coordination package kicking in, Rachel did a wonderful job in vetting vendors for us, and presenting the information she gathered for us in an organized and straight-forward manner. She took care of necessary communications any time it was needed. Once our day-of services began (two months before the wedding), she really kicked things into overdrive. As an overly-stressed bride and groom, nothing feels more relieving than hearing the words "You don't have to talk to any of your vendors again if you don't want to, that's what I'm here for." She was not kidding! We know for a fact there were probably several behind the scenes vendor communications that took place where Rachel had to advocate for us to make our day perfect. When we were stressed, she had the perfect maneuvers to validate and empathize with us, while also keeping the show on the road (and this is coming from the opinion of a therapist!) Working with Rachel, you know that she has your best interest at heart. Our wedding was unique in the sense that we were planning on representing various aspects of our cultures (Korean, Jewish, Greek, etc.) throughout the event, and in our first call with Rachel when we shared this with her, she seemed excited to take on the challenge. She and her team executed it all so smoothly. There were so many details that even the most organized bride would have missed without having the knowledge and expertise that Rachel and her team bring. I can't tell you how many times she brought a detail to our attention and we thought to ourselves "Wow, I wouldn't have even thought of that!" Even on the day of, when there were small fires to put out, two of the most anxious people who could be getting married did not have to worry, as we knew Rachel and her team would handle it. Stain on the tux? Taken care of with items in their emergency kit. Need to change an entrance song 5 minutes before entrances? Done. Another stain on the tux? Gone. Need to find us family members to have discussions with regarding the evening? Found in two minutes and brought to us. Throughout the chaos of a wedding day, and with any changes or obstacles, she and her team didn't even seem to sweat it. They tackled every single bump gracefully. We would hire Rachel and her team for any event in the future without question. Rachel, Abby & Elena, you were all integral parts of the most important day in our lives. Thank you for keeping us calm, relaxed, and worry-free. We love you guys!

without her. She did not miss one single detail about this wedding from coordination with the vendors to showing up the day of the wedding with emergency supplies that actually were needed last minute! I did not have to even think about anything for my wedding when it came time for her to take over. I feel like i had the best experience as a bride and felt so happy and stress free because Rachel had everything covered. I owe Rachel and Abby more than a huge thank you and wish that I could use their services again just because she is so amazing!

lan for us which included centerpieces, ceremony setup, signage, and a million other beautiful details. Thanks to Rachel's creativity we were able to incorporate little details of our lives into every area of our wedding (Books as place card holders and photos of our cat on signs). She provided so many options and choices throughout the process and helped us save money! On the day of the wedding, everything was organized and the timeline ran smoothly. The CE team went above and beyond to make sure we had the absolute best wedding possible. Working with CE was truly a dream come true and I highly recommend them. Months later friends and family are still raving about how incredible our wedding was and we all of that to Rachel and CE.

hem come to life in the most amazing way! Almost a month later and our guests can't stop talking about it!

ult, had many plans and RSVPs changing every day. Rachel always accommodated any changes we needed, regularly communicated to our vendors, and made recommendations when we were unsure what we wanted to do. On the day of our wedding, Rachel and her team took care of every last detail to make sure we could fully enjoy our big day. Decorations, table settings, timeline, and all coordination of our vendors were executed to perfection - we honestly don't know how she pulled it off. We are incredibly thankful for all Rachel and her team did to make our day special. I highly recommend Creative Eventology for any of your event planning needs.

requests. She found the perfect florist, photographer and the best videographer. She knew we love our dogs and they wouldn't be there, she surprised us with a table with their photos on it. She also brought other small details for photos, and decorated our room when we got back from dinner with dessert, champagne and other drinks for us to enjoy. She helped with things we never even thought of. She went totally above and beyond with every detail, coordination and recommendation. She really did make our day stress free and extra special. After talking to make other planners before her and being disappointed in their reaction to wanting a smaller wedding. We found Rachel's beautiful photos on Instagram and called. We knew after our first conversation she understood our vision for our day and was excited to make that vision come to life. If you're looking for someone who is as excited as you are on your big day, but also has everything and everyone else under control to go smooth, she is your girl!

s worth every cent!! They help you save money in the long run by providing many design services and will be as hands-on or hands-off as you would like when it comes to putting together things like save the dates, invitations, welcome bags, party favors, etc. Their creativity and design abilities are second to none, true artistry goes into the design elements of every wedding. There is nothing I would have changed from my wedding if I had to do it over again and I would definitely use their services in the future for other events!

On my wedding day, while I was getting dressed, my friend asked why I wasn't stressed or nervous and I responded that my planner had it all figured out! Rachel helped us save money, she coordinated all the vendors and did all the running around, bargained on our behalf, made suggestions that tuned out all beautiful and I can't believe how emotional I feel just typing this long review. Literally, everyone said I had the best planner there is. Thank you, Rachel!!! You blessed us with so much light and I hope other couples see the light in you.

ver a year) was a 10/10. Rachel's communication and design expertise throughout the entire process were fantastic and on the wedding day Rachel and her assistant Meghan made everything flow perfectly. Thanks to them I feel as though I did not stress at all. My husband and I would HIGHLY recommend!!! Couldn't ask for a better wedding planning team!

thank you so much Rachel ,you have a brilliant future in this business,, Thanks again Dayami and Larry

and calmness as we planned a wedding during a pandemic. The day of execution was flawless- with my bridal party more than prepped to be where they needed to be at the exact time they needed to be there. My every imagine of design was beautifully displayed with finishing touches Janna's team was able to add that magically tied it all together. I am forever grateful for Creative Eventology and will suggest them to all future brides in the Philly area!!

e worked with her for the entire year of our engagement and we definitely consider her a friend after all this time spent discussing and planning. She even managed to handle some difficult vendors very well and I could not be more pleased with the outcome of our entire wedding!

mmend!

d and that your wedding day and reception are just what you want. Rachel and her team make all of your dreams come true on your wedding day … beautiful, carefree, and memorable. Choose Creative Eventology as a part of your "Wedding Team". You will be so happy that you did.

l with the marriage license because Rachel had it all done. I would highly recommend her to anyone who is having a wedding or even just a regular event. She made everything easy and even had fun with my entire wedding party which made everyone have a great time.

g from beginning to end (tuxes, limos, flowers, honeymoon and all!) it all went off without a hitch. The thoroughness and attention to detail was impeccable. We were further blown away by the fact she threw in some extra added special touches that we were not even aware of! She also helped my husband plan a re-proposal on bended knee at Caesar's Palace unbeknownst to me! It was perfect and to say she went above and beyond what was expected would truly be an understatement. Thank you again Rachel for giving us the best day EVER!

e things we agreed upon. She arrived late (after other vendors arrived) and literally stood around for most of the wedding. She breached many of the agreements we had, both verbal and written and left the groom and his brothers to do her job of setting up some of the decor at the wedding (we have pictures to prove this). She told everyone in our families at the wedding "I don't really know what's going on"...like really? Isn't that her job to find out? Also why would she say that out loud to our family after we wrote out a detailed timeline for her? If you can't figure out what's going on, don't sign on with the client. We also wrote out a detailed description of the order of events that she decided not to read or follow. She said she would bring 2 assistants and 2 cars and brought one of each. The assistant did more than Rachel did for us. My sister mentioned seeing her sitting in the venue on her phone relaxing while my sister was running around finding items for the wedding (part of Rachel's job). Everytime we saw her during the wedding she was standing around and looking blankly at us not even trying to figure out what was going on. At one point she told me my brother was gathering people for photos ( so I guess she thought she didn't need to help him?) when I asked why she wasn't helping the photographers. Then at the ceremony she told the groom that setting up some of the decor we previously agreed she would set up would be too time consuming and difficult for her. Wow, I'm just blown away by how unprofessional she was. I (the bride) had to tell her to go do her job twice on the wedding day ( I gave up after that because she didn't seem to care). I still can not believe her excuse was that we hired her last minute. First of all, as a day of coordinator you shouldnt sign on to something you can not handle. Second of all we detailed the information she should have followed in writing. If she was confused or couldn't handle something she should have communicated this. If you can't do your job well...don't agree to do it. Also she was the most unresponsive vendor we had. Other vendors were saying she never got in touch with them even though she was supposed to be managing them. We had to track her down and re explain things several times and she did not even do what we agreed upon during our meetings. The incredible part is that we only needed her to do minimal coordinating since we most of the reception completely taken care of and a lot of the set up for the ceremony also taken care of. She charged us a large sum to arrive late ( the florist was left waiting since Rachel told him an incorrect time to arrive - doesn't day of cover the whole day??) and stood around while the groom and our family scrambled to get everything in order. The groom was the one greeting the other vendors. She also had a bad attitude with us on our wedding day! Rachel is a terrible coordinator in our opinion and that family and guests. If I could give her negative stars, I would. Please contact me with any questions because I don't want you to waste your money. My email is jvngwedding@gmail.com

pted the challenge of transforming our venue into the “Wonderland” that we envisioned and faithfully implemented the complicated decorating plan we had developed. Additionally, Rachel organized and flawlessly ran our rehearsal which was a huge relief to us as many of the wedding party had no experience in this regard. We were confident on the Big Day that our months of planning and the coordination of all of our vendors would be overseen by a professional and any problems would be competently handled. Rachel exceeded our expectations! The venue was transformed, the vendors were able to perform their tasks seamlessly, the wedding party knew what they needed to do, the parents were able to enjoy the ceremony and reception and most importantly the bride and groom smiled all day and night. Thank you Rachel, for your professionalism, your organizational savvy and most of all for your humor.
