Just Say Yes NY

r wedding planning process, we made it our goal for us to be fully present during our events and for the process to not overwhelm us. Raquel was the single biggest factor in making those wishes come true. Weeks before the wedding we were feeling relaxed and ready-to-go. We were so prepared that we working regular work days right up to the start of our wedding weekend. Raquel is an excellent communicator. She responds quickly via email and text and ensured that our vendors were on-point and ready-to-deliver every step of the way. She is organized and comes well-prepared - she consistently showed-up to all of our meetings a few minutes early. Lastly, without a doubt, Raquel helped us stretch the value of our dollar by optimizing the use of the venue spaces and by helping us avoid unnecessary expenses on many occasions. We highly, highly, highly recommend working with Raquel!

ur vision and made sure our day was beautiful, flawless, and just SO damn fun. It was no easy task with the mix of vendors and DIY/friend supported aspects of our wedding, not to mention making our multilingual and ESL guests feel welcome, but Raquel killed it. She was super attentive during our walk through and subsequent timeline planning, asking us questions and giving us expert advice on the flow of the day. When the day came, we felt completely supported and taken care of. She adapted the flow of events to our mood, like giving us a moment alone from our guests when we needed it, corralling family for some last minute adds to our photo shot list, and letting us stay with our guests and forego some of the formalities we no longer felt like doing. We could go on and on. Just Say Yes was among the best decisions we made for our wedding and we cannot recommend Raquel enough!

tation and lots of quirky decor in a beautiful way. Do yourself a favor and hire these babes!!!!

ask for!

oop in and pull it all together. Her communication was always quick, clear and helpful, wiping away any stress we had leading up to the big day. We got married at Dobbin St where couples are bringing in their vendors, decor, etc., so we were looking for someone who 1) knew the space and venue extremely well, and 2) understood our vision, which included bringing multiple favorite Brooklyn restaurants to cater (vs. one catering company who does it all). Raquel helped us work through the final details and supported each decision we made with her intimate knowledge of Dobbin and our vendors who she's worked with many times before. On the day of, we didn't have to worry about a thing. It all came together thanks to Raquel and JSY. It was truly magical to see our vision come together on the day-of, and we're so grateful that Raquel made that happen. 10/10, highly recommend Raquel & Just Say Yes!!!

that everything went smoothly! Our day wouldn't have been the same without her!!

nd communicative. They made a HUGE difference in our workflow throughout the day by offering to help at any point, and checking in to make sure we were ok. They treated us as a part of their own team. I felt incredibly comfortable coming up to them to ask for help or to ask any questions. To all the potential clients out there - HIRE THEM AS YOUR WEDDING PLANNER/COORDINATOR. They are very well connected in the industry, are excellent communicators, and will give you the greatest client experience. They care about their couples and vendors.

Say Yes!

thing that I wanted to do as far as being creative. She was open to all ideas. Through the course of the day you could see that she was always behind the bride and groom within viewing distance but at the same time not imposing her will. She was constantly calling all the vendors and the bride and groom to make sure that they still maintain and follow the timeline accordingly. Even though we were like 10 minutes late she still was gracious with the entire staff. I honestly cannot recommend someone that does not work like Raquel. It made a 10 hour day felt like five hours

From keeping us both calm and sane, to keeping track of every little detail, to staying on top of our vendors; she delivered and then some on being "the" go-to-person not only on our wedding day but in the weeks leading up. She was super accessible and talked us through all of our concerns and questions (multiple times). Last and not least, she helped to foster a bright and positive environment for us and our guests and we are so grateful to have had the opportunity to work with her.

her enough! The party was amazing. Despite some pre-party hiccups (beyond any of our control), all went smoothly.

ngs, someone who took charge. We also wanted someone who understood how important it was to incorporate our cultures together, who will get how to blend tradition with modern and keep our integrity.   What we got was this and so much more: Raquel met every single thing and more!! After a month of searching and several failed interviews I was recommended Raquel. I had no background info on her or her company but I was willing to give it try. Within hours of emailing her we set a time for a call and we hit it off! Raquel was straight forward, she explained that she has been in the wedding business for many many years but 2021 she was going to start out on her own. She provided me with info of her employer knowing well that I could have gone to them instead, but she was extremely transparent and we really appreciate that. She then led with her background in management and event planning. We spoke about being BIPOC and how important that is to her and the clients she serves. We hit it off within 5 minutes on the phone, I gave her my vision of mixing Mexican/Ecuadorian cultures with a modern twist and she was on it. She was coming with ideas that I also had and I knew then that she was the one to make our wedding a reality. We started planning in Nov 2020 and married in Oct 2021. Raquel was always communicating with us, searched vendors for us, handled the contracts and communication, had deadlines set up, kept us in budget. We were on a shared google drive that had every detail of our wedding. She was readily available leading to the month before, she was a text, call away. She kept it real, she knew when to say "hey maybe we can try something else out" I loved it, she had a back up plan for everything! She also kept in mind our families and how important it was to show our families how a 1st generation couple can still keep our roots but also embrace our cultural backgrounds. She also knew how important a timeline was especially with my friends and family who run late to everything haha. Raquel was a true blessing. On the big day she and her team were amazing, always made sure I was happy and taken cared of. Things probably went wrong but I had no idea, that's how smooth the day went for us.  We spent many months planning this wedding Raquel has become much more than our planner but a true friend, she had our backs and we wish her all the best in her company. We are truly honored to have had Just Say Yes conduct our wedding!!!!

Say Yes NY was one of the best decisions we could have made regarding our wedding day. Raquel’s extensive experience, get-it-done attitude, and connections in the NYC area truly make her a powerhouse resource. Raquel also provided us recommendations for a florist within our budget, who also did phenomenal work. She had also previously worked with our caterer, which made things even more smooth than we could have imagined. Raquel went above and beyond any expectations we could have had. We had no idea what all wedding planning entailed. We used the partial planning and day of coordination services and we would have done full planning had we known better! These services are absolutely essential for a stress-free wedding day! Raquel is extremely knowledgeable and organized with shared Google documents, making keeping up with the never-ending wedding tasks a breeze. She was there for whatever questions we had during the process; hosting a wedding can be very daunting and it was a relief to have Raquel there to walk us through. Where Raquel really shined was during the creation of the wedding day timeline, it really is the single most important thing on a day that seemingly flies by! Raquel and her assistant were by our sides throughout our day, while simultaneously taking care of absolutely everything, including managing the various vendors and wedding guests, behind the scenes. The day of execution did not disappoint and we have Raquel and her team at Just Say Yes NY to thank for the best day of our lives!

to make everything happen.

d happily work with her again!

work with, pleasant to the guest and kept the bride and groom on a tight schedule. With the space given in the venue not to mention the timeline to pull that off, my hat goes off to her and her entire staff. I strongly recommend their services and look forward to working with them in the near future. Now if you’ve read this review up to this point you’ve already made your decision who your planner should…. Just Say Yes!!
