Rachael's Custom Events

Rachael and Tim helped us with the planning and day-of-coordination for our destination wedding at Siena Golf Club. My husband and I had never been to Vegas, so we were clueless! They provided us with venue choices that fit both our budget and the vibe we were hoping for. They even took a tour to scout a venue of my request that they had never been to before. We ultimately went with one of their suggestions (Siena) and we could not have been happier. Their recommendations for florist, photographer, videographer, officiant and bus company for guest transportation were a perfect match for us as well. They helped ease the day-of stress despite the downpour of rain that started half way through our outdoor cocktail hour! The quick transition to “Plan B” mid-cocktail hour went so smoothly, as if that was the original plan. Rachael, Tim, Siena’s event planner and her amazing staff could not have done a better job dealing with Mother Nature. Other things to mention about Rachael and Tim : they were attentive to certain things that were very important to us like organizing to have their daughter available to FaceTime the ceremony for my grandparents in New York, allowing me to ship boxes of favors and welcome bag items to their home and providing me with an awesome canvas “emergency bag” filled with important goodies that would have definitely been forgotten otherwise! They also added little decor touches to our sweetheart table and fairy lights and tea light candles to the centerpieces. The list goes on and on and we were just so pleased with the services they provided!

I feel like our lasting memory of our wedding experience would have been completely different if not for Rachel and Tim. Thanks to them, not only was our planning experience SO MUCH easier and stress free, when it came to the day of they let us focus on the most important part, each other. We weren't worried about vendors, our guests getting fed, or our decorations being the way we wanted them. All of it was taken care of without us having to even think about it. We will always just remember how much fun we had, both during planning and during our day. It wouldn't have been the same without them.

We highly recommend Rachael and Tim for your event. They became like family to us and our wedding wouldn't have been as perfect as it was without them. Everything ran smoothly because of them and we will be forever grateful for their help!

Rachael and Tim were absolutely amazing. From being so organized, to always calming me down throughout the entire wedding planning process, I am so thankful to have had their help. Their calm demeanor and positive attitudes are exactly what every bride needs when planning their dream wedding. Because of Rachael and Tim, our wedding was the best day ever and we would do it all over again if we could!

From the very beginning, Rachael and Tim made us feel like we were the only wedding that they were working. They treated us like family. Their attention to detail is what made my daughter’s wedding come together so perfectly. From late night texts (that would often get a call back immediately), to our conversation two days before the wedding ( because Rachael wanted to make sure nothing was causing us any stress), to running the rehearsal and decorating the venue, Rachael made sure that everything we had planned got done. All of their special touches made the day run so smoothly (including lighting literally hundreds of candles in the evening). Rachael even set up a “kids table” with gift bags for each child. Each bag had the child’s name on it and had age appropriate snacks and toys inside. The kids loved their bags and the parents were amazed at the thought put into it. Rachael and Tim took the worry out of what is often a hectic day for a Mother of The Bride. They truly are the best at what they do!

Rachael and Tim made what we expected to be a stressful destination wedding planning experience relatively stress free. The wedding and reception were perfect and we wouldn't have changed a bit of it. Thank you Rachael and Tim for helping to make our most important day perfect. -Justin and Kristal

Rachael & her team were such a joy to work with. My daughter is from out of town and wanted her wedding here in Las Vegas. I remember my wedding as such a hectic and stressful time but this team was so calming for us - I hate to think of not having had them! They are truly dependable and I would recommend them to anyone needing expertise in hosting an event. Kudos to you-- Rachael & Team!!

Rachael and Tim were amazing and sooo helpful at my wedding in October. I didn't always follow the traditional wedding concepts and they were great at going with the flow, but also giving me advice when something didn't seem to be quite right. They were always there when I needed them and always answered the phone. They helped me find some microphone supplies I desperately needed and had a low budget for. I didn't want to pick out music for the ceremony or during dinner and they hand music ready to go for me. I did a lot of planning myself, but when it came to the Day-Of I didn't have to worry about anything but getting ready and practicing my vows. They handle it all and helped me create the wedding of our dreams. Thank you Rachael and Tim for all that you did!

We had found Rachael online, we got married in Vegas and live in the Chicago area. We were so pleased over the professionalism of Rachael and her husband Tim. My husband and I are were kinda clueless and where to start to plan a destination wedding. Rachael was really good on giving us great advice and guidance. Although we had struggled with a venue cancellation, our wedding ended you being a hit. Rachael and Tim were very attentive and made sure our reception space was set up quickly and correctly (the venue only gave them 30mins to do so). They even helped in moving a lagging wedding party along when they had over stayed their time in the ceremony space. They were great on being able to do all the things we couldn't because we live in Illinois. I can't thank Rachael and Tim enough for helping and giving us piece of mind for wedding.

Being remote, Rachael has always been available and very helpful in this wonderful journey. I came to her with no reference, and never has it been a problem. From the beginning she took charge of everything, securing all aspects of our ceremony. She is surrounded by very competent people, the officiant, photographer, florist etc. Together with her husband, she made it a memorable event. Thank you!!!

Rachel and Tim were so helpful and professional. We planned our wedding last minute and it was the day after Thanksgiving! She gave me suggestion on where to get my dress steamed and where the groom could rent his tux. She was on top of responding to any question I or (my mother) had! She coordinated day of event and it went swimmingly! ;) Hands down the best team in Las Vegas! I am so grateful that they were available and honesty they made my day the best day ever. It was so stress free, magical and fun!

Rachael and Tim Johnson were incredible!!! Aside from thoughtful and specific recommendations, they provided much needed encouragement throughout the planning process when we felt overwhelmed. You can FEEL how much they truly care about helping you to create the wedding day that reflects what's important to you as a couple. Their organization, attention to detail, and commitment to excellence and executing our vision was a tremendous stress reliever, which enabled us to be fully present and savor our rehearsal dinner and wedding: our day could not have been more perfect <3 We are eternally grateful that we were able to work with them on the most special day of our lives, and we believe you will be too :)

My husband and I were planning our wedding from another state and we needed help. I am a bit of a control freak so handing off so much of the biggest day of our lives was hard. As we began to look into planners we found some planners very narrowminded about working with a couple who had non-traditional ideas and spiritual beliefs. None seemed to get our vision or make us feel as relaxed as Rachael and Tim, from the first call with them, I knew we were in good hands. Through the year of planning, there were times of high stress and a hug from Rachael or a text message letting me know it was going to be ok was just the ticket. Our venue had a short set up window and everything came out looking wonderful and if any problems came up I was blissfully unaware. Rachael was fantastic about listening to my ideas and blending her decor, ideas etc in with my decor and DIY's. No idea we came up with was too strange and she really helped achieve the look and atmosphere I was going for. She coordinated with our other vendors and everyone was ready to go on time. She even got the DJ to add in a song at the last minute because we didn't realize we needed one for the bridal party to walk in with. I highly recommend Rachael and Tim especially if you are a non-traditional couple. They are so accepting and easy going and they will make your day even better than you imagine.

I cannot recommend Rachael and her husband Tim enough! They are simply the BEST!! It is hard when you are planning a wedding to find someone who you can trust to turn your vision into reality or care about your special day as much as you do but I promise you that Rachael's Custom Events will do just that. To me Rachael and Tim felt like my other parents at our wedding. They listened, ask all the right questions and helped create the most perfect day for my new husband and I. If you are in the market for a wedding coordinator who will help you feel relaxed and take some stress away look no further; these are the people you want helping you on YOUR DAY!

Rachael's Custom Events was top notch. Rachael and her husband Tim work as a team to help create the wedding of your dreams. From our first meeting with the two of them, we knew that our wedding planning was in great hands. They have great energy! I was a very hands on bride and definitely had a vision. Rachael was very thorough in checking in to see what I needed and where she could help out. They visited with us on multiple occasions, met with our venue coordinator at our venue and even came to our house one weekend to preview all our decor and go through line item details. Rachael and Tim were instrumental in leading our wedding rehearsal the day before our wedding. On the actual day of the wedding, everything went smoothly because of them. They set up everything!!! The day and night went by fast (just like everyone says) and they worked hard to make sure our vision came to reality. They were very professional and I loved that even had a radio system set up where they could communicate with one another. They kept us on schedule and yet kept our wedding flowing organically. It was seamless! We met with them a month after the wedding and they shared some funny stories with us about our special day (kind of like a behind the scenes of things we never knew happened). They truly made our wedding day a dream come true. Thank you Rachael and Tim for making our wedding so amazing!!! It seriously was something out of a magazine! I highly recommend Rachael's Custom Events!!!

At first, we were on the fence on hiring wedding planners because of the extra cost. However, we can confidently say that hiring Rachael and her husband Tim was one of the best decisions we have ever made! They were amazing and very professional wedding planners. They were timely on their responses to any questions we have and punctual whenever we would meet! Also, they pitched in some great ideas for our wedding and gave us some helpful advice on how to stay on our budget. On our special day, Rachael and Tim worked together to make sure everything was on time and the event is running smoothly. They really went above and beyond what we asked them to do and they will make sure you too are well taken care of and would not have to worry about anything!

AMAZING!!! We had an absolutely phenomenal experience with Rachael & Tim. We worked with them for 6 months, planning our Vegas wedding remotely (we're from MN), and it was a blast! We're about the worst planners (and best procrastinators) and they made sure everything went off without a hitch! They made everything so easy on us. We even had our original venue (and caterer) cancel on us SEVENTEEN DAYS before our wedding, and Rachael had it figured out in less than 24 hours! Everything was beautiful and we did zero set-up or take-down. Tim was our DJ and the music was spot on! All we had to do was enjoy our day. We had the best day of our lives, and it's all thanks to Rachael and Tim. Seriously, can't recommend Rachael's Custom Events highly enough! Thank you both for going above and beyond for us. We'll never be able to thank you enough! #cheeseburgers ;)

Rachael & Tim are beyond wonderful, and we really enjoyed working with them! Through our many phone conversations before the wedding, we could tell that Rachael & Tim are very passionate about wedding planning. Chase and I thought we were well organized and thought through the details and logistics, but Rachael & Tim helped us think through and plan for so much more! We realized how much we did not consider and we were so happy that Rachael & Tim were helping us! They were just overall fantastic and helped the wedding day go smoothly even with everything Mother Nature threw at us and unforeseen schedule changes. Our ceremony start time got pushed back, and Rachael & Tim handled it wonderfully; they kept us calm, planned ahead for the remaining day-of schedule, and got our schedule back on track without feeling rushed. We would highly recommend Rachael & Tim to anyone planning a wedding! They are fantastic wedding planners and even better people!

Rachael and Tim were our wedding planners and they did an amazing job. We held a 4 day event in Eden, Utah. It was Thursday evening thru Sunday morning with 110 guests in attendance. The entire weekend went amazingly smooth and we owe so much of that to Tim & Rachael. They brought a ton of decorations with them, they set up each venue throughout the weekend, took down each venue, organized all of the decorations and decor. They came out and walked the venue with us prior to the event. They helped design the whole theme, the reception, center pieces, table set ups... They helped us find vendors. They clearly have a ton of experience with weddings and thought of things we would have completely missed. I would recommend them to anyone planning a wedding who needs someone in their corner. Thank you so much Rachael and Tim. It was the wedding of our dreams and we never could have done it without you. You're the best!

Rachael is amazing! She created a mesmerizing woodland fairy themed Sweet 16 party. She went above and beyond what we expected with her attention to details. She transformed our venue into a fairy wonderland that included 10 differnt fairy themed tables, a fairy candy bar, fairy garden outside and a woodland back drop perfect for photos. My daughter and her friends danced throughout the night.

As being an “out of state” (Oregon-Nevada), Mother of the Bride, you can imagine my anxious feelings as my daughter’s wedding day approached. At my insistence, my daughter looked for a wedding day of coordinator. She was excited to find Rachael and said, “Mom, you’ll love her!” I too found Rachael to be reassuring, professional, detail oriented and an excellent communicator. She made sure Jessica and Tim’s wedding day was everything they had envisioned and more. Since the wedding day, I’ve received numerous compliments from family and friends remarking how beautiful, heartfelt and fun they had at the wedding and reception. One of the many perks of having Rachael as our day of coordinator; was that I was able to relax and enjoy my daughter’s wedding day. Rachael was a pleasure to work with and I highly recommend “Rachael’s Custom Events!”

Rachael and Tim were absolutely amazing. They understood completely what we really needed out of the simple wedding we had hoped for. WE had many calls leading up to the event to make sure everything was taken care exactly the way we wanted it. They made the day an absolute breeze and helped with decor to keep costs down. They sacrificed some of their personal time to make our day easier and made the trip to attend our ceremony. We could not be happier and would recommend them to anybody regardless of wedding size or location.

Tim and Rachael are kind, generous and supportive. I was working with another wedding planner from outside Vegas when my venue cancelled less than 90 days out. I had looked low and high for another venue, found one, and wasn't sure if it was the only thing out there. I contacted Rachel and Tim, and they said "Yes, that is the best of what you are looking for." So it gave me great peace of mind knowing that I had the best option and had not overlooked anything.

I can’t say enough good things about Rachael and Tim and the magic they worked on my wedding! First of all, I loved working with a married couple! They’re so sweet and I think it’s very inspiring to see such a great couple running a business together. They both really brought their strengths to the table! The entire process was fantastic. Rachael was always quick to respond to my questions and I could just tell she was really on the ball. On the wedding day, she really went to bat for me! My fiancé and I had a custom neon sign made for our wedding and the venue didn’t want to hang it but Rachael wasn’t going to let that happen! She made sure they got it done and it was perfect. The best part was, I didn’t even know this issue had arisen until well after the wedding! My wedding day was so relaxed because I knew Rachael and Tim had everything under control. At the reception, Tim was basically our DJ and he did such a great job! I made playlists and he made sure all the songs we wanted to hear were played. He also made announcements and did a great job! I’m so beyond grateful for this because they saved us literally thousands of dollars by not having to hire a DJ. In addition, they provided tons of decor and containers for all the candy on our candy table. Their prices are also so, so reasonable! This is by far the best money we spent on our wedding. It was truly a magical, perfect day and I know it was in very large part due to Rachael and Tim!! I seriously can’t say enough good things about them. If you want your wedding to run perfectly and be beautiful, hire them!! You won’t have to worry about a thing on your wedding day and that is seriously priceless.

I found Rachael online called her and spoke for hours she asked what our wants and needs were for our perfect day and she made everything come true when I say our day was perfect I mean it there was not one hiccup the place that she picked that we picked for our day was perfect it truly was our room the chapel or Minister my flowers they make up hair everything was perfect how many people can say that their wedding day was perfect without a hiccup I can thanks to Rachel and her staff I couldn't have picked a better person to plan our day thank you so much it was truly a blessing to meet you and plan the Horton wedding

I am from Texas and was trying to plan a Vegas bachelorette party for my best friend. After saving a million pins (on Pinterest) of how I wanted the suite decorated I realized there was NO WAY id be able to get all the balloons and decor onto the plane so I decided to hire Rachael. Thank GOODNESS I did! she is absolutely amazing! I highly recommend her. She went way-way above and beyond my expectations. She should have charged me more!! She thought of everything and more. We had balloon letters saying "From Miss to Mrs", champagne, orange juice, 150 balloons in rose gold, blush, white, and pink. They covered the entire suite!! There were even cupcakes and snacks! Not to mention surprise games and party favors. Everything was adorable. I also must speak of how much she truly cares. I am not the easiest client to deal with, I admit it, and she was more than patient with me. She also really paid attention to my notes. I was fairly specific about what i wanted and she nailed EVERYTHING perfectly! The bride said "I wish she were in Texas so she could do the wedding" hahaha. I can not say enough good things. Hire her. You wont be let down.

Rachael was amazing! My wedding was more beautiful and organized than I had imagined all because of Rachael. I did a destination wedding to Las Vegas planning from another state and decided to hire Rachael who went above and beyond to bring my vision to reality. I wanted a romantic setting with candles and flowers, she did that plus additional personalized romantic touches. For the brides out there thinking you can do this on your own, you can, but Rachael can do it 10 times better. Sit back and enjoy your day and let Rachael do her magic, you will not be disappointed. Her fees are reasonable for the level of service provided as I contacted several planners prior to selecting Rachael and they didn't even compare. More importantly Rachael is friendly, personable, and professional. Best decision I made when planming my wedding, everything looked elegant and gorgeous. If I could post pictures I would but feel free to message me so that you can see her work.

I am SO glad I hired Rachael to help plan our wedding! She relieved so much stress and did an amazing job. She had great decor ideas and was with us every step of the way. Thank you!!

Being the mother of the bride and having no notice, I had no idea how to make my daughter’s wedding day special. All I could think of was no time, limited funds and where do I start. I met with a few event planners but when I met Rachael I knew it was a perfect fit! If you’re looking for someone to remove the event stress, who has imagination and delivers everything from the largest to the smallest detail, look no further than Rachael’s Custom Events. Not only was my daughter’s wedding day everything I hoped it would be; but we were able to enjoy ourselves knowing we had you handling everything. To say Rachael is amazing is an understatement. She’s a professional that treats you like family. We’re putting the word out that if anyone has a wedding, anniversary, graduation or any event that they want made memorable; don’t look any further than Rachael’s Custom Events. Thank you Rachael’s Custom Events

Where to begin? To start... my husband and I live in Colorado, the wedding was to be be in an estate in California. Rachael customized our event from Las Vegas, states away. The estate had an issue with the floor because of a previous rain, and 2 days early she had someone out there drying the floors and putting in a dance floor. The decorations were a beach theme. So neat to have seashells hanging from the lit up canopy. She ordered the cake just how tradition in our family went. And with an added touch, the topper had us and 4 dogs on it just like we own. Rachael was in constant contact with us either via email or phone conversation. She sent pictures if the bouquet just to be sure it was going to be as I described. She picked an excellent caterer, food was delicious. The whole place was beautiful, the best day of my life!

I had the most memorable weeding, everything was perfect, I was surrounded by good friends great music and wonderful food. It was stress free because Rachael made sure it would be.

My wedding wish came true! I wished for a beautiful day filled with beautiful decor, a warm atmosphere, and wonderful surprises! My wish was granted by Rachel . . . . I really could not have asked for a better wedding planner/decorator. From the initial meeting, great communication, creative and inventive ideas, and a beautifully delivered wedding reception - I had a positive and great experience working with Rachel. I had a lot of ideas and she really helped me fine-tune what I wanted and needed. She has so much creativity that combined fun, fresh ideas with traditional concepts to create a lovely, warm reception atmosphere. She surprised me with extra add-ons that made the day even more special. She was professional and truly cared about making our wedding day everything that we wanted and more. I would highly recommend Rachel for weddings and any other party planning event!!!

Rachael was such a pleasure to work with from the very beginning as a vendor and client. She inquired about our services and we instantly connected: professional, prompt in response, and very organized. Guests at the event we hosted complimented what such a wonderful job Rachael and her team did for this celebration. I would highly recommend Rachael to plan and coordinate your next small or large event. She is very much into the details and it's obvious she puts a lot of care and attention for her clients and is always on your side and will look out in your best interest financially and aesthetically on how your event will look. Her enthusiasm and professionalism makes for such an easy process for clients as well as vendors. Rachael, it was a pleasure working with you and we look forward to fostering this business relationship in the near and long future. All the best! Cheers!

Rachael has been amazing! There are so many details to a wedding that are easily forgotten - but she does not forget any. It is more valuable than we ever thought to have someone to guide us through the process. She has great ideas, is excellent with a budget, and with every issue that presents itself finds a solution. Whatever we have thrown at her, she handled no problem. Rachael treats us like family - it is obvious the success of my daughter's wedding is important to her. I think anyone looking for a wedding or event planner should have the opportunity to work with Rachael.

Rachael has coordinated several events for me in the past, and is currently planning my upcoming milestone birthday event. I found her at a wedding she planned, and have worked with her ever since. Her attention to detail, organization, and budgeting skills are all second to none. I want to get the word out about how wonderful she is to work with and what a great job she does.
