Rachel and her company Heart Pine Planning did an absolutely fantastic job planning me and my spouse's wedding in June 2022. We began planning in approximately September 2021 while living in Chattanooga, but then had to move away for work in January 2022 so finished all the planning virtually from then on. Rachel was amazing to work with. She was always punctual to our appointments and attended everything with all of the vendors. But where Rachel truly shined was the execution on the day of. She and her staff, along with the venue, absolutely crushed the setup. Everything was seamless and if there was ever an issue, I never noticed or knew about it--just the way I like it.
I would fully recommend Rachel and Heart Pine Planning if you are looking for a full service wedding planner in the Chattanooga area.
Heart Pine Planning was an amazing and essential addition to the wedding planning process! Rachel and Maddie were so easy to work with and made the rehearsal and wedding day go so smoothly!
We loved Rachel & Heart Pine Planning so much that we used them for not just one of my daughter’s weddings, but both of my daughter’s weddings. Rachel & her staff are so knowledgeable & helpful. They helped us with the seating chart, venue layout, rehearsal & wedding day timeline. All vendors were contacted prior to the wedding & she verified their arrival time & added it to timeline as well. To be honest, my daughters wedding day went flawlessly & I have no doubt it was because of Rachel & her team. They worked tirelessly ensuring that each detail my daughter(s) wanted, was completed. It also helped me as the mother of the bride, keep my sanity & enjoy the day without worrying about all the small details. They helped us clean up & stayed until the very end. By the end of the night, I felt like I was saying goodbye to close friends. Truly the best group of women. So thankful our paths crossed & we were able to share these special days with them.
Rachel Bourdon is the real deal! My wife and I recently hired Rachel and her team for day-of coordination and it was easily one of the best decisions that we made regarding our wedding day. First, she made two brides feel so comfortable in their own skin throughout the entire process. This was so important to us!
To say that Rachel went above and beyond for us feels like an understatement- she was available to us every step of the way and was invaluable on our wedding day. Rachel helped us navigate moving our ceremony inside when it rained on our wedding day- fielding and making MANY phone calls. She drove to our house to pick up/drop off our dogs and even made a trip to the store to find me contact solution. Our day was so magical and we know a lot of the credit for helping us have a wonderful and stress free day goes to Rachel and her team. I can’t say enough wonderful things about her! If you’re considering Heart Pine- BOOK HER and don’t look back!

Rachel with Heart Pine Planning was the most incredible planner for our February wedding in Malibu, California. We feel so fortunate to have signed up with Rachel for the “month of” wedding planning package. She had come to us highly recommended and we heard such great things about her quality of services that even though it was out of state for her, she expressed such enthusiasm for our big day during our initial zoom consultation. Noting she is also the owner, me and my now wife are forever grateful for having her there to make sure everything went as smoothly as it should and making our day feel extra special.
The time zone difference and distance was never an issue as she always made herself available when we needed her, especially closer to our wedding date when we would panic over the smallest things. She was always there to comfort us and made sure everything went as planned.
Rachel is so sweet and lovely and goes the extra mile to make sure your special day goes as perfect and dreamy as you’d imagined. She listens to your concerns and thinks everything through so you don’t have to. She pays attention to every little detail and somehow manages to make a note of the smallest things. Rachel contacted all of our vendors, joined all of our vendor calls, set up separate calls with them, compiled and coordinated a very detailed timeline with everyone. It is because of her exceptional communication skills and diligence, that our venue and vendors honored what was originally listed in our contracts and discussed previously. Rachel taught us so much about wedding etiquettes and managed to help us plan a modern, rustic, romantic wedding with a touch of all traditional details that we cared for.
All of our vendors enjoyed working with Rachel and trusted her to run the show. Her interpersonal and communication skills really shined through while dealing with every vendor under the sun including the venue. Rachel was there to put out every fire and not a single guest noticed anything, but instead would praise our wedding being one of the best they’ve ever been to.
Rachel arrived in Malibu a few days early where we had our wedding, and joined us in-person for the meetings, and rehearsal with the venue and bridal party. Rachel thought about every extra table and furniture we needed for our and other vendors’ setups and coordinated all of that with the venue ahead of time.
On the big day, besides managing all vendors and making sure the timeline was met, Rachel coordinated all shuttles for the bridal party, and set up all the displays, tables with place cards and favors, desserts, photo booth and coordinated every vendor we had to work together in the most timely manner. I would love to also note she has such incredible patience to manage every concern we brought up, every detailed issue that arises and never had a sweat. She had such a wonderfully positive attitude from start to finish. We are still amazed how she single-handedly handled the logistics of our 125 Guest Count out-of-state Wedding.
Knowing we got lucky for her time as she is the owner of Heart Pine Planning, we would absolutely trust any one of her planners as she clearly has very trustworthy judgment. If you’re reading this and considering her services, please trust us that Hear Pine Planning will be the best vendor in your arsenal for your big day, whether local or out of state.
Rachel is absolutely amazing. HIGHLY recommend hiring her. I was one of those brides who insisted that I could do everything myself. Spoiler alert: I couldn't. Rachel thought of everything that would never have even crossed my mind. Everything I was stressing about? She handled it and eased my mind. Our wedding would not have run as smoothly as it did without her. I'd recommend her to anyone and everyone in a heartbeat. She's seriously the best, and super sweet! Thank you, Rachel!
Rachel was the best thing to happen to our wedding. Well, minus the wedding part, I guess. Then again, she made sure that part actually happened! From last minute freak out meetings from us to planned and coordinated meetings with us and vendors, she did it all and made sure to do it professionally and with punctuality. Also, she's a lot of fun. So, if you're looking for a planner, Heart Pine Planning is the only way to go!
Thank you Rachel and Heart Pine Planning, we'll be sure to use you again for our next wedding... :)
We used Rachel as our day of coordinator and we are so glad we did. She was so organized and helpful before, during and after the ceremony. She kept things on track running smoothly and was thoughtful in making sure we were happy on the day. Definitely recommend!
Rachel was professional from start to finish. She handled everything, and we couldn't be happier. If you need a wedding planner, don't hesitate to reach out to her.
The best decision I made for our wedding was hiring Heart Pine Planning! Rachel is an absolute dream and so is her team! She made the day run so smoothly and stress free! There’s no way I could of done it without them. Hire them, you won’t regret it!!
Rachel was an absolute gem from the start! She made planning an out of state wedding almost effortless while we got to focus on the “fun” parts. She was a huuuuge help with finding vendors in the Chattanooga area that were perfect fits for us. Rachel and the Heart Pine team were easily one of the best decisions we made during our wedding planning process, I’d choose them over and over again. We were met with inclusion and respect which was of big importance as an LGBT couple. Rachel, thank you again for ALL that you do in creating such memorable experiences ❤️
Where do I start to talk about how amazing Rachel and Meredith are? Rachel, Meredith, and Emmie are wonder women. I hired Rachel in 2019 a year before our big day not knowing just how much I was going to need her. She was a true blessing to this stressed, Covid, October 10,2020 bride! The week of the wedding I called her freaking out because it was going to rain. Not just rain but Hurricane/Tropical Storm rain. She calmed me down and jumped in helping me with plans. We had only hired her for day of planning and she really went above and beyond. Rachel and her team showed up morning of the wedding ready to tackle the day. Honestly, she saved my sanity and I could not have made it through without them. If you are on the fence looking for a coordinator....HIRE HER!
Rachel and her team are the absolute best! Rachel was our day of coordinator for our wedding at Howe Farms in October 2020 and KILLED IT. They did such a wonderful job making sure our big day was everything we dreamed it would be... and it was!! Rachel was available for any and all questions and made sure everything went smooth so we didn’t have to stress about it! If you want to have the most perfect day, hire Rachel and her team. You will NOT regret it 🤍
The biggest compliment I can give Rachel is that I hardly saw her on my wedding day...because she was off executing all the details of my day! And when I did see her, it was to offer a helping hand (literally) or to make sure my husband & I had dinner (!!) I had a hard time finding someone who offered true day-of coordination. She took the burden off of me, my mom, and my family to manage and implement the day-of details, and I am so grateful!
Rachel and her team did an amazing job on our wedding day as well as the weeks leading up to the big day! She thought of every detail and was such a huge help to myself and all of the other vendors involved in the wedding. Rachel stays so calm throughout the entire process and knows how to handle any problems that arise so that you won't even know about them. I highly recommend her for all of your wedding coordination needs!
We absolutely loved having Rachel help us out on our wedding day! She was very sweet and professional. It was nice to have her around to take some added stress off of our shoulders!
