We were so fortunate to have Jessie Craig as our wedding coordinator. Although she did not technically start until 60 days from our wedding date, she was so helpful in the weeks before, answering any all all questions that I had, making suggestions, and then hitting the ground running 60 days out. She was truly a lifesaver, keeping me on task, attending all meetings and asking questions I had not thought of, and keeping everyone on schedule (despite having an extremely large wedding party with lots of moving components). We had a last minute fashion emergency, and she handled it with such grace, I as the bride had no need to panic knowing she was taking care of everything. We have gotten so many compliments on our wedding, and it would not have been possible without the hard work of Jessie and the Lovely Event Co Team!

Dana and her team were instrumental in making our wedding day perfect! From our very first conversation, Dana was knowledgeable, kind, and so ready to answer all of my questions! In the months and weeks leading up to the wedding, she provided us with a level of organization for tasks that we would otherwise never have been thinking about, and because of that, the week and day of the wedding were so incredibly stress free, because everything had already been handled! Cannot recommend Dana and her team enough, they were amazing!!!

If you are on the fence about hiring a planner for your wedding do it and hire Lovely Event Co, then ask for Monique to help plan your day. Monique went above and beyond for me. I can be a lot to handle because I am.... well...neurotic. I worry and/or stress about everything. Monique handled all my worries and fears with ease. She even empowered me when I felt bad about decisions I was making. She worked with my busy schedule when I started a new job during wedding prep (do not recommend doing that). The list goes on and on. I am so sad that the planning process is over and that I don't get to talk to her every week. When prep was all said and done Monique made our wedding day perfect. I really could not asked for a better day. Everything I did worry about did not matter. I wish I had listened to her when she told me that. At the end of the day people are going to people and you cannot control everything... so let your planner! Just kidding. Listen to Monique when she says something is not going to matter. She knows what she is doing. Anyways, Christopher and I will be forever grateful for Monique and highly recommend her & Lovely Event Co to anyone who is getting married.

We hired Dana and her team for day of coordinating. Her team did an amazing job bringing all of the details together. I had a very complicated number of decor needs and they killed every single one. Our timeline ran perfect and Dana made sure we were fed and well hydrated all night. Dana is also not afraid to tell you when you are wrong which is 100% what you need when you are in the bridal clouds going crazy planning. One factor you do not think about is boxing up all the decor after. My decor had to travel from Dallas back to KC and her team packed everything so perfect, nothing broke or shifted in transit. That is unreal! Best decision was hiring Dana!

Dana and her team helped us have the wedding day of our dreams. From the second we hired Lovely Event Co, we were so relieved to have someone we trusted completely. Dana always took the time to listen to our concerns and came up with creative solutions for us many times. She took so much stress off of us and clearly communicated with our vendors and venue while keeping us in the loop, but not overwhelming us with many of the behind the scenes details. If anything went wrong during the wedding day, we had no idea because Dana and her team addressed it. Thank you Dana for giving us the perfect wedding day!

Dana and her team were absolutely amazing and made the whole day so special! I cannot express how much stress it took off of me and my family to have them coordinate the day and the lead-up to the wedding! I was a very busy law student and sometimes did not have time to handle planning until later in the night. Dana was always courteous to my schedule and would often go out of her way to schedule around my fiance and me! Our wedding was absolutely beautiful and went off without any hitches! Everyone who spoke to us afterward described the day with one word: "magical".

I had the opportunity to work with Dana from Lovely Event Co. and she truly was the best thing that could have happened to our wedding. Her communication, kindness, and her eye for detail and knowing what you want as the bride did not go unnoticed through the whole process. The planning of months up to the actual wedding day, her and her team did a phenomenal job. I could not recommend Dana and Lovely Event Co. more!

We used Lovely Events Co to help us plan our daughters out of state wedding. The partial planning option was just what we needed. Elizabeth had the perfect temperament to work with for both the bride to be and Mother of the bride, calming our fears, encouraging, educating, assisting, directing, supporting, and providing resources to us that we greatly appreciated and really needed. Their presence and expertise assisting us in the decision making was so helpful. The professionalism was top notch. The day of the wedding was fun and low stress knowing that Elizabeth and her assistants had everything under control so we could fully enjoy ourselves. Thank you Lovely Events Co.

There aren’t enough good things to say about Dana and Lovely Event Co. From the day we met Dana, it was evident that not only would she be a perfect fit, but that she would take care of every detail of every part of the process. Dana exhibited extreme professionalism and incredible communication. She made sure to have regular zoom meetings to discuss details and next steps, provided extremely detailed checklists, and consistently made sure we knew exactly what was needed or what she was working on for us. Dana made sure that our wedding day was exactly what we wanted and that it was catered perfectly to us as a couple. She spent time with us on trips to the venue and tastings, and even went out of her way to find and create personalized decor for us. On the wedding day itself, Dana and her team were impeccable with timing, coordination, and making sure everything was perfect. There wasn’t a worry in my mind the entire process or wedding day, which is a priceless feeling itself. Dana was more than just our planner, but became a friend as well that we will miss working with dearly. Without hesitation, I recommend her and Lovely Event Co to anyone who needs a wedding planner that can be trusted to bring your entire vision to life!

When my daughter became engaged, it filled by heart with joy and I’ve truly taken to her fiancé, a wonderful man. My daughter started the process of planning the wedding and I quickly witnessed the torment she was going through but further, without the aid of a Wedding Planner / Coordinator, she would also not enjoy her grand day, worrying about all the going’s on, of the day itself. Therefore, as a gift to my daughter and her fiancé, I began the process of interviewing planning professionals. I actually spoke with several and didn’t want to compromise on my personal expectations nor compromise on the experience of the Planner. I finally connected with Dana. One of the strongest attributes of any professional is the ability to listen without overriding the perspective client’s speech. Dana is outstanding at listening. Is a meticulous record keeper. I was very impressed with her ability to receive direction or requests and for it never to come up again, until a resolution was presented. Impressive ability! She was also able to provide the balance of what my daughter wanted without pushing an uncomfortable engagement. She was extremely respectful of the budget and stayed within it. Not once did she present a proposal that exceeded the budget or expectations. Its also a valuable asset to have a professional that has a string of vender professionals that know where their bread is buttered. Specifically, Dana’s list of venders are excellent and performed very well. If you are considering a Planner, you’re not just hiring the professional’s experience as a Planner but you’re also getting the management of the vender’s and insurance that they will perform, as the consequences for they’re poor performance will cost them jobs in the future (with the Planner’s firm). The venue was spread out on a large piece of property and her assistants were as hard working as Dana was. The day of the event, there were a lot of moving parts, not once was I concerned about anything happening incorrectly or out of balance from the expectations.
Thorough and Detailed: Along with Dana’s meticulous record keeping and planning, she employs software where the client (my daughter) is able to track the progress of the event’s planning. From budgeting, payments, due dates etc. All-encompassing tracking system. This can’t be undervalued. As the one writing the checks, I found it immensely beneficial and helpful to have this available. While I gather this may be the norm, her platform was easy to read, use and deploy, in short, the user-interface (UI) was outstanding. Personality: Dana and a strong, well balanced pro, simply put. She listens well, issues recommendations in a way that’s not intrusive and quite complimentary. She knows where the planning holes are and has a way of delivering in a confident way. Also, impressive. That said, one should not underestimate her kindness for a weakness. I witnessed her confident direction giving to the venders, the day of the event and its clear they respect her.
In closing, you can go on and plan an event, (not just a wedding) on your own. I don’t recommend it. Dana and her team is worth every penny and our gratuity spoke to our satisfaction. There is no doubt that we’ll be using Dana again. She’s able to plan / coordinate destination events, well beyond local events. Her experience is an asset that yields amazing results.
Thank you Dana for everything, you’re terrific!

Thank you so much for this heartfelt and thoughtful review. It truly means the world to me...
that I was able to help make your daughter’s special day everything she dreamed it would be. I am deeply touched by your kind words and the trust you placed in me throughout the planning process.
Listening and understanding the vision of each couple and their families is at the heart of what I do, and I'm so glad to hear that you felt heard and respected every step of the way. It was a pleasure working with your daughter and her fiancé, and I’m thrilled that our collaborative efforts resulted in a memorable and joyful wedding day.
Thank you again for your kind words and for choosing me to be part of such a significant event in your family’s life. I look forward to the opportunity to work with you again in the future.

Lovely Event Co. and Dana were the biggest BLESSING throughout wedding season. When my now-husband and I got engaged, I knew I wanted to hire a day of coordinator to help alleviate some of the stress of the big day. Then I found Lovely Event Co. and my life and the wedding planning changed for the better! Throughout the entire process, Dana kept us on track, helped me stay organized, and kept me sane. I could not say enough good things about Dana, and several of our guests came up to personally compliment how amazing our Dana and her team were. She made the day run so smooth and without a hitch! Our wedding day was truly the happiest day of our lives and we owe that to Lovely Event Co. <3

We chose Lovely Event Co and worked with Elizabeth! She worked closely with me and my now husband to create the most beautiful day! She is kind and very organized. She was always conscious of our budget while ensuring we had quality vendors. She kept us on track through the planning process and gave good guidance and instruction. She was great during the planning and kept our stress levels low, the big day went off without a hitch! She and her team were very professional and kind to everyone. They got everything done in a timely manner and really helped make it a memorable experience. They could not have been a more perfect fit for our day.

Dana was the biggest help as our wedding coordinator! When she hopped on board it really helped things fall into place. She was knowledgeable about everything, took control of reaching out to vendors and getting a timeline in place. Not only did she get a bug out of my veil before I walked down the aisle, but she also made sure a dog who wandered up while we were taking photos didn't step on my dress, but she also made the day run smoothly and I didn't have to worry about anything with her there. Working with her took a lot of stress out of wedding planning and I couldn't recommend her more!

Dana with Lovely Event Co is the absolutely amazing - I cannot express how grateful I am for having her by our side during the entire wedding process! Her professionalism and attention to detail is unparalleled. She took the time to understand our vision for both our rehearsal dinner and wedding day and then worked tirelessly to bring it to life.
Her communication was top-notch throughout the entire wedding planning process. Dana was always available to answer our questions, provide updates and offer valuable advice. Her expertise in the industry is evident - her ability to juggle all the moving pieces with ease made the entire process stress-free.
My favorite part in working with Dana was the warmth and enthusiasm she brings. She was genuinely invested in making our wedding weekend memorable and special. Dana’s commitment to excellence, creativity and unwavering support transformed our vision into the most magical reality that will be cherished for the rest of our lives.
Thank you Dana for making our wedding weekend the most joyous and incredible weekend imaginable!

It was great working with Monique and very grateful for her help. She kept on top of everything and kept the planning moving. Any question we had or information on vendors we needed, she had the information timely. The day of the wedding went seamlessly. It was a perfect day. She followed up throughout the evening to make sure that we didn’t have any issues. She is amazing and I would highly recommend Lovely Event Co. and Monique Provance.

Dana was the best wedding coordinator we could have asked for! From beginning to end, her professionalism, communication and attention to detail were impeccable. She sent weekly checklists, scheduled regular Zoom meetings and even sent texts to both me and my husband to ensure that we were always on track with things. She kept consistent communication with us and our vendors (even when they were difficult). The day of the wedding, Dana was amazing!! From fixing the moms' corsages, helping me bustle my dress, and ensuring that all of our bags were in the getaway car, we couldn't have imagined the day without Dana. Even our guests raved about how amazing she was! Without hesitation, we wholeheartedly recommend Dana & Lovely Event Co. to anyone in need of a wedding coordinator who will go above and beyond to make their special day worry-free & truly unforgettable!

Shannon Lepard was our lead planner that we hired while under RK Events, and she was great to work with. We had weekly calls to check in on progress and status, making sure we stayed on track of due dates. She was a wealth of information and logistical help. We chose a partial planning service, as I am in the design field, and it was SO much help to have her recommend vendors for our budget and my vision. RK Events/ Lovely Event Co. uses Aisle Planner, which was one of my favorite tools! It houses a checklist to keep you on track, as well as everything you need to stay organized; down to layout out our assigned seating (if you have a seated dinner). We got married at the Dallas Arboretum, which poses a lot of logistical issues on load in and strike, and Shannon was great to execute it all in our small timeframe allotted. We are so happy with how everything turned out! Thank you Shannon!!

Dana stepped in to help assist my wedding two days before I walked down the aisle. Our original wedding planner dropped the ball and could not help the weekend of. Dana kept calm and listened to everything we needed done with a positive attitude. Dana even texted my husband and I days after the event to make sure we were happy. She absolutely crushed it, I wish we had her as our wedding planner from the start. Thank you for everything you did for us! I would highly recommending using Dana!

Look no further than Lovely Event Co. if you want a stress free, perfect wedding day! This team is top notch. Being a wedding industry vendor myself, I was extremely intentional when choosing who to coordinate my best day ever. Rachael Kissel & Lovely Event Co. made it easy to hand the reigns over! Rachael quickly became like family and my fiance, my mom, and I looked forward to our meetings with her every week. We laughed and cried together! She asked all the right questions and made sure we were thinking about even the tiniest details to ensure everything was perfect. Our wedding day was incredible. Because we had Rachael & Lovely Event Co. to handle all of the logistics, I was able to enjoy every moment with my husband and our friends and family. Hiring Lovely Event Co. is the best decision you can make for yourself during this special time in your life! You won't regret it!

I never thought I needed a planner, oh boy was I wrong. For someone who has a very busy work schedule. Having Dana there to help with securing vendors and answering their questions, making preparations, was an absolute must. If you want less stress, doing one of the most stressful milestones in your life, hire a planner. And if you want a fantastic, kind and professional one, then I would recommend Dana to everyone, hands down.

Monique at RK Weddings & Events is the absolute BEST! I could not have done the entire process without her. We chose to do full planning and Monique was with us every step of the way during our year of engagement/planning. Monique is so incredibly knowledgeable of everything you could ever think of when it comes to weddings. My now husband and I work full time, as well as my parents and we were initially overwhelmed of having to plan a wedding in Dallas where neither us or family lives. As soon as we met with Monique and started working together I knew I would feel no stress! Monique was always quick to respond or quick to get questions answered from herself or vendors. She gave amazing vendor suggestions in Dallas, as we had zero experience with weddings before and live out of town. She helped us pick the perfect vendors which made the actual day so perfect!
Never during the planning process did I feel overly stressed or anxious, even the week before and week of! I attribute that 100% to Monique! People would ask me if I was stressed for last minute planning and I would always say, “Nope, my amazing planner Monique has got it!”
The day of the wedding was an actual dream. Monique took care of EVERYTHING so the only thing I had to do was show up. She did so incredible and went above and beyond. Our ceremony and reception space were absolutely incredible—Monique and the vendors made it more beautiful than I could have thought possible. It was just the perfect day.
Monique is the BEST! Thank you RK for sharing the amazing talent of Monique! You will not be disappointed! Monique, we love you and thank you! ❤️

We had the best time working with Monique at RK Weddings. She went above and beyond to ensure that everything ran smoothly the day of, and she helped us navigate the complex planning process. We decided to use a wedding planner since we were not originally from Dallas, and were lost in the sea of wedding vendors. Monique gave us recommendations, and advice when it came to the little things that many people forget to include at a wedding. Monique made our wedding smooth, and my Husband and I were able to relax to really take in the excitement of the day. Thank you Monique for everything!

HIRE THESE PLANNERS. Rachael was my planner and she was absolutely unreal. She knew the answer to all of my questions, suggested countless incredible vendors, and basically held my hand throughout the whole wedding process - I needed it. She is the queen of weddings and will handle any bumps in the road with knowledge and grace. She is a calming presence and has years of experience. She even pulled off a last minute (day before) venue change and literally saved our wedding. If you are looking for a wedding planner, look no further than Rachael and her team. Family and friends are still talking about our wedding, saying it was the best they have ever been to! That is all because of Rachael and her team. I am better for knowing her!

Every person I was in contact with was great. Meeting with Rachel first was a great intro to the company. I felt confident that we had found the right people. Once I met Shannon, we instantly clicked and I feel her personality complimented mine perfectly! She was able to keep me grounded when I would get too carried away with ideas. But she also was so encouraging and supportive with all my ideas.
We had booked the partial planning package pretty early on in our planning. But she would check in at least every month and see how everything was. Once we got a lot closer, she would check in multiple times via email and was always available via text. We had most of our vendors, but our favorite ones were actually the ones she had found for us! She was a vital part of our wedding as there were multiple problems that came up. She handled them swiftly and let my husband and I truly enjoy our special night. We loved working with Shannon and feel we couldn’t have done it without her.
We also used their hotel blocking service. Monique was great and very communicative! There was an issue with the liaison for the hotels we used, but she was so helpful in resolving that problem. Overall, it was a very helpful service. The hotels we chose were 30 minutes away from our venue.
Overall, we’re so happy and externally grateful to the whole RK weddings team. There’s no replacement for their expertise and guidance!

I cannot express my gratitude enough for Dana. She hands down was the most amazing and organized wedding planner ever. From day one she was so great to work with ensuring she had a checklist for me to work through months before the big day. On the big day, everything went so smoothly and she stayed so calm (and kept me calm all throughout the day which is crucial!). She truly is so kind and wonderful and I just cannot rave about her enough. Hire her if you want the perfect wedding day!

Jessie at RK Events was absolutely incredible. Being an extremely 'type A' bride who's known for overthinking and stressing over every single detail, Jessie truly was a godsend the entire year of planning and the day of the wedding. She was so calm, responsive, and on top of everything from day one. She helped confirm vendors, negotiate contracts, re-confirm timelines and details, and made sure everything ran as smoothly as possible (and everything honestly couldn't have gone smoother thanks to her help). My husband and I are so appreciative of Jessie and everything she did for us this year. She made our wedding day as close to perfect as possible and our entire experience truly wouldn't have been the same without her. We love you Jessie!!! Thank you for all that you do.

I cannot say enough good things about our experience with RK Weddings and Rachel in particular. Our wedding was across the country, so we needed to rely heavily on Rachel for her vendor connections, knowledge of the area, years of experience, etc. She kept us on track with all of our to-do's from start to finish, I truly don't know what we would have done without her. On our wedding day she ensured everything was stress-free for my husband and I, there were issues that arose that we were both completely unaware of - she graciously handled on her own allowing us to enjoy the day w/o worrying or stress. Now that it's all over I'm going to miss seeing her and our regular zoom calls! Seriously, book her if you need a planner!!

Jessie from RK Weddings & Events was the best planner any bride could ask for! Her professionalism, organization, and upbeat personality was unparalleled. She maintained constant communication with our vendors, bridal party, and us (the couple) both before and during the event. To say she went above and beyond would be an understatement. I had a vision for the napkins on our tables and she brought them to life. She also sat with the groom & groomsmen to put on their bow ties and make sure they looked presentable. She managed any issues we had with the venue itself seamlessly, letting me fully take in the day. She kept the event on time, ensured everyone was in the right place at the right time, having the most fun, and allowed us to enjoy the most magical day. Jessie - thank you for being a rockstar! For anyone looking for a planner, we highly recommend RK Weddings and Jessie!!

Jessie was professional, organized, and helped keep us on track. We started off working with a different planning company and were pleased at how much better RK Weddings and Events was than our first planner. Reliable with communications and followed through on everything promptly. I would definitely work with them again.

Dear AB, Thank you so much for the nice words about Jessie and our company. I am slightly...
confused as we didn't have a wedding on 9/13/22 and I'm unfortunately not sure which client you are, and I wish I could thank you in person! Please reach out to our team via email and please do let us know how we could have made it a 5* review. We are always striving to improve our services. Thank you!

We worked with Jessie and she was THE BEST!! She worked with us from the beginning to understand what we wanted and our budget. She was able to find vendors in our budget and we got everything we wanted on our big day. She is very thorough, smart, and kind and I cannot imagine doing it without her!

I could never say enough positive things about our experience with Rachael at RK Weddings and Events! She came highly recommended and we saw why from the start! Beginning with the very first meeting she was on board and completely understood the vision we were seeking! We completely admired Her professionalism and loved her warm and approachable style!
She was always there if we needed her throughout the entire process!
She truly made our daughters wedding so special and enjoyable especially the day of which seemed like I was a guest and got to take it all in which speaks volumes! I didn’t have to worry about a thing!!! I knew she had it covered!
We heard so many compliments from the wedding party, guest and vendors that were equally impressed by the energizer bunny that doesn’t stop! We will forever be grateful and highly recommend ! She is the best!!! We love you Rachael!❤️

We want to thank Monique for all she did throughout the planning process and the actual wedding day to make it a wonderful weekend for the bride, groom, family and friends!
Monique was kind and encouraging from the beginning of the process until the end. She was always willing to help research options and problem solve when we needed additional choices. She also established a good relationship with each vendor as she met them, so that all the necessary communication and timing could run smoothly.
As the mother of the bride, her help allowed me to relax and enjoy the weekend knowing she could handle any issues that would come along on the wedding day. Thank you again!

I have to give so much credit to RKWE for how perfect our wedding day was! From the initial meeting to the final selfie with my planner on my wedding day, every interaction with the team was top notch! They helped us bring our vision to life by helping with vendor selection, negotiating vendor contracts, keeping a budget tracker, and wedding day coordination. Jessie was a dream to work with and she made the wedding day run so smoothly. My wedding guests made several wonderful comments about her and Reilly after the wedding day that made us so happy with our choice to work with RKWE! DFW Brides - I highly recommend using RK as your wedding planner!

Our wedding was absolutely perfect thanks to Jessie and her team! Jessie was easy to communicate with through the planning process and extremely helpful with all of our questions. She is patient, kind, organized, and gets things done! Prior to the wedding she took care of all of our vendors and last minute tasks. She was on top of every detail and made the day run smoothly, so we were able to have fun and not worry about a thing. We HIGHLY recommend Jessie!

This team y’all….amazing! We worked with Jessie starting several months before our wedding. She helped with the design process, organizing my scrambled plans, contacting vendors close to the wedding date, dealing with our massive wedding party, and was just flat out incredible! She was so responsive to every text I sent her and made the planning process so much easier.
The rehearsal & day of the wedding was flawless, Jessie and her team absolutely killed it (I seriously don’t know how she managed all the people in our wedding party, there were over 30 of them haha).
Our day would not have been possible without her, oh and she’s the sweetest person ever! We truly could not have done it without you Jessie!
Highly recommend this incredible team!

We had the absolute pleasure of working with Monique at our wedding in Aubrey. From the very beginning, she was extremely helpful providing vendor recommendations, assisting with questions and coordinating with our vendors. She was very thorough when planning our wedding and helped me feel at ease. On the wedding day, she took care of everything and the day went by so smoothly. I had the pleasure of seeing her in action at two different weddings before mine, and both brides said nothing but praises for Monique and her team! We really couldn't have asked for a better planner to work with, and I highly recommend her to any future bride I meet!

Monique was absolutely amazing helping us to coordinate our wedding in Dallas. We live in NYC so we were dealing with getting everything done either virtually or with limited trips out to Dallas, and she was fantastic in both sourcing appropriate vendors for our vision (which wasn't very traditional, so we had to make sure we got vendors who were willing/able to handle it) and coordinating all the virtual and in-person meetings.
She made sure all our tiny little last-minute details were taken care of - which was something we desperately needed as we would have for sure forgotten something important otherwise.
She was also so amazing to have on-site during the wedding itself; she made sure everything moved along smoothly and my husband and I got food/drinks/time to ourselves.
I highly, highly recommend RK and Monique for wedding planning!

As mother of the bride, I was very happy for my daughter's choice of her wedding planner Monique. My daughter's wedding was March 19th, 2022. We had her full time a year ago, and she helped every step of the way, responded to any questions or concerns quickly. We met with her a few times before the wedding, and is on top of being very professional.. the sweetest person! Our wedding had several details to tie together, I do not know how Monique did it, but the wedding day was absolutely magical and just what we had envisioned.
Thank you so much Monique, we will miss you!

Our wedding day and the planning up to it couldn’t have been more pleasant. Our planner was (or should I say “is”, bc I will always have her as a planner for anything huge going forward) on top of everything and made the entire process so much less stressful than it would have been on its own. She pays attention to detail and directs things but also gives you freedom to figure out what you want and how you want it! I could go on and on about her and how well she does her job but the main thing is that she became a friend and fully invests into her clients and that was the very best part.

Rachael and her team made my wedding day the party of my dreams! No details were left out. I didn't feel an ounce of anxiety the day of because I was so confident in the RKW&E team. Rachael is so helpful, kind, and realistic. She is so good at bringing a vision to life and will do all she can to give you the wedding you've always imagined (within budget of course ;)) I can't recommend RKW&E enough!

Jessie was our 60 day planner from RK and she did such a wonderful job! I am a very organized person that loves to plan, so I debated on even hiring a planner. I am so glad that I did!! She ensured that everything ran smoothly and she handled all hiccups professionally as well as quickly and efficiently. She made sure that my needs and wants were met and was able to execute all plans and details. Her team was more than willing to help with the small amount of decor set up that was required (guest book table, seating chart, dance floor fun items, signs, candle lighting) with no problem or hesitations. She answered all questions in a timely manner and attended all of our vendor meetings that occurred 60 days out. Their online planning portal is super user friendly and helps ensure that no detail is missed. Definitely recommend RK Weddings and Events, and more specifically, recommend Jessie!

My daughter and I worked with Rachael Kissel and RK Wedding and Events for her wedding. We couldn't have asked for a better experience! Rachael's planning experience and guidance for venue and vendor selection made for a perfect Wedding Day. She is a joy to work with, full of great ideas and advice to make your event custom, special and perfect!

I’m super late doing our review but wanted to give Dana the recognition she deserves. Dana was incredible and made the planning process so easy and enjoyable! We knew from the beginning that we wanted to be involved as a couple in the planning process but needed some guidance along the way. We chose the partial planning package and would do it again in a heartbeat. Dana made it feel like you were chatting with a friend. She gave honest opinions when asked but kept in mind our style as well. She was always available and so patient with us as we were in graduate school and moving across the state all while planning a wedding. When we first hired RK weddings & events we lived in another city but we were able to schedule meetings through zoom so we could still keep the planning process moving. Dana has great vendor recommendations and helps you stay on budget as well. On our wedding day she was calm and made sure everything ran smoothly. There were some minor hiccups but she found solutions before I even knew about the issue. We were sad that our time together ended but are so grateful we had Dana for our wedding planning journey. If you are even considering hiring a planner talk to RK weddings and events, everyone there is so kind and talented. They really want to help your vision come to life.

Our wedding was truly a dreamy night thanks to Rachael and her team at RK Weddings & Events! If anything didn't go as planned, we wouldn't have even known about it because Rachael made everything seamless and perfect! Rachael was a joy to work with, kept us on our planning schedule and was there to make sure everything went smoothly our whole wedding weekend. Rachael worked with our vendors to make sure our guests made it to the Church ceremony and back to the Adolphus (Reception), even after our transportation vendor changed the plans last minute. She handled it like the professional that she is! If you want a wedding planner that will help you with design, coordination, extended family, narrowing down the perfect vendors, and always with a smile and kind word, Rachael and her team are the perfect planners.

Dreams do come true. Coming from a girl who has had their wedding planner since the age of 5… I couldn’t have imagined a more perfect day. Deb truly “got me” and made sure not one detail was missed. From the design to the catering to the vendor team- Deb handled it all. On the day of the wedding RK had a team with my every step of the way and I truly felt like royalty. Our winter wonderland wedding was better than a dream and I owe it to sweet Deb! We wish we could relive the day over and over again. We love you!!!

RK Wedding & Events was amazing. I can not express and convey this fact enough.
Jessie Craig and her team made my daughters wedding weekend a DREAM COME TRUE. The entire team lead by Jessie's management were professional, personable, kind, efficient and on point the entire time. In the months leading up to the wedding, Jessie went through every detail to make sure every vendor, every bridal party member, every arrangement was one hundred percent accurate.
The Rehearsal:
Jessie professionally dealt with everyone in the bridal party. She clearly articulated the plans and procedures until every personal felt confident in their role and the timing of their role. Her experience even knew to have a back up plan to deal small things such as if "the two year old ring bearer couldn't make it down the aisle".
The Wedding Day:
From the second Jessie arrived I relaxed. By this point, RK Weddings & Events and Jessie had instilled so much confidence in me that I knew her team could and would handle everything. If any small issues came up, Jessie would quietly take me aside to communicate to me. The most amazing part was that she had already solved the issue and was just informing me.
RK Weddings & Events made my husband and my day so enjoyable - a gift parents of the bride don't often receive. Thanks to Jessie's hard work ahead of the actual wedding day, our guests said "this was the best wedding they had ever attended". That is a true testimony to RK Wedding & Events and Jessie Craig.
The wedding planning team made my daughter and her husbands dream wedding come to light. The BEST part of the wedding weekend was thanks to their professional and efficient guidance and planning, the RK Wedding Team made my husband and my dream come true too.

Need a wedding planner? Stop your search here — trust me! Monique hung with me for over a year of wedding planning — and was just as excited about our big day as we were! She is super knowledgeable and managed to pull two locations and quite a few different elements together to make one very memorable party. This team wants you to have an extra special day — they handle every last detail — and their expertise, time and service was worth every time Penny!

If you want your wedding to run smoothly, you need to book RK Weddings & Events! From the first meeting with Rachael, I knew this was the team we needed to work with. We booked the day-of coordinator and worked with Jessie and it was the best thing we did. I felt absolutely confident that Jessie was going to make our day run smoothly and she did just that. Jessie was absolutely incredible! I didn't have to worry about a thing and she made my vision come to life! She took care of everything the day of and kept our rowdy wedding party in line and truly made the day special for us. Thank you so much for everything, Jessie--you are a rockstar!!! Even if you are a planner, book a day-of coordinator so you can really enjoy the day and be the bride. Ask for Jessie and you won't be disappointed!! Thank you so much RK Weddings & Events!

Our experience with Reilly and the RK team was absolutely Fantastic from start to finish! Planning a wedding out of state can be stressful! Reilly was enthusiastic, professional and very organized, planning all the details and follow-up with vendors. Her communication was stellar through out the process!
The day of the wedding, Reilly ensured the venue went on without a hitch. Honestly, I don't know what we would have done with out her. Her presence and calm demeanor made the wedding day a complete success!

The best decision we made was hiring a wedding planner and we were so blessed Monqiue was chosen for us :)
Monique went above and beyond - she is so professional and just a joy to spend time with! Making decisions was so much easier with her guidance and knowledge. The day of the wedding everything went so smoothly, we were even ahead of schedule! I didn't have to worry about a single thing. We were so impressed with how well the day went! Request Monique, she'll make sure your day is absolutely perfect!
