Rachel Behar Events

ons (and trust me, with me being a type A personality, there were MANY, MANY questions). The wedding came together absolutely perfectly and we could not have asked for a more amazing group of vendors (all of whom Rachel helped us find). When I got stressed out throughout the course of the wedding day, Rachel was always there to calm my nerves and remind me she had everything under control. She had the most detailed timeline of the day of events and made sure everything went exactly as planned. From the design of the wedding to the food to the party, dancing, organization. None of it would have been possible without Rachel and her team. Thank you, Rachel. Anyone who is looking to plan an event, please consider working with Rachel. Trust me, you will be happy you did!

happen on the day of so I could enjoy without worry. I could not recommend Rachel more!

ing and was so helpful throughout the day from just chatting like it was a normal day (which I needed) to helping us remember to eat, hydrate, and reapply lipstick! We couldn't have done it without her!! Throughout the day and leading up to the day, we knew everything was taken care of because we had Rachel on our team. Our parents felt as calm as possible because they knew Rachel was there. Rachel worked with our venue and all of our vendors effortlessly to create a beautiful and intimate wedding. From day 1 of planning to day 365, Rachel recommended amazing vendors and coordinated so many details behind the scenes that EVERYTHING was thought and taken care of. My husband, who's a strong introvert and homebody, said so many wonderful things about the day, planning, Rachel, Brette, RBE, and our vendors! We both felt comfortable and confident in Rachel so that we could be present and enjoy the day. Everyone helped make what can be so overwhelming and stressful, comfortable and incredible!! Rachel's attention to detail, caring nature, style, and energy was exactly what we needed and were so grateful. On high emotion days like a wedding, having someone fully dedicated to the success of your event is necessary and Rachel/RBE are perfect for that! Regardless of your budget, hiring RBE in some capacity to support/plan your wedding/event will be 100% worth it!

ocess. Our wedding was full of complexities given the 200+ headcount, our desire to blend religious traditions, and an unconventional venue with multiple different spaces, but Rachel approached everything with an open mind and helped us work through countless details to ensure it would be the perfect day. From the beginning, she was highly responsive and incredibly organized - it was hard to believe she was planning multiple other weddings at the same time! On the morning of our wedding, we had to completely change the layout of the wedding due to rain, and Rachel and her team coordinated with all of our vendors to make sure that every detail was taken care of. Despite the stress of having to switch to our rain plan, Rachel was such a calming presence throughout the whole day. Once the wedding started, it was clear that she had everything under control, which allowed us to really live in the moment and know that we were in the best hands. We would wholeheartedly recommend Rachel and the entire RBE team to anyone looking for a wedding planner.

d with her and her team!! Rachel is extremely organized and kind; and especially in New York, it was a pleasure to work so closely with someone who you can tell truly enjoys their work and has so much integrity- it showed throughout our entire day and the process of planning. I don’t think we could have even imagined how perfect of a day it could be, all thanks to RBE!

s, and professionalism. People cannot stop raving about how special our wedding was and the first thing we say is, “Thanks, we had the BEST planner, Rachel.” We had a very atypical wedding that required a lot of thought, sensitivity, logistics, and creativity. Plus, as a Type-A, creative person, I had a lot of ideas that Rachel totally embraced and made happen. Two different bands playing harmoniously together? Not only was it not a problem, Rachel knew the most talented team to make it a seamless musical experience that had the dance floor(s) going all night. My amateur sketch of wild flowers hanging from the ceiling turned into the most enchanting wedding decor? She knew the best people to execute it (and beyond!) that literally had us and our guests feel like we were living in a dream. A USPS mailbox brought in for our guestbook activation? She not only sourced it, she literally went and picked it up herself. It is also worth mentioning that Rachel is probably one of the nicest, loveliest people you will ever meet. She is so responsive and so on top of things I often told her I couldn’t believe she was also planning other weddings at the same time—that is how attentive and cared for she makes you feel. And it isn’t just “feel”—she genuinely cares about the couples she works with, creating a bespoke wedding for them, and making sure their days go perfectly. Throughout the wedding planning process and day of, we felt so at ease because Rachel was always one step ahead of us and on top of every last detail. Rachel is the best of the best of the BEST and we are immensely grateful for all her expertise, support, creativity, compassion, talent, and hard work. We would 1000000% recommend hiring Rachel, a gem of a human and the ultimate wedding planning pro!!!

ually the best. Because of Rachel and her team, we felt so incredibly prepared and at ease when our wedding week came rolling around. People kept asking us if we were stressed about the wedding and we honestly had to say no because Rachel had literally everything under control and organized down to the last detail. She made us so at ease and relaxed that we felt we were able to enjoy and absorb every single moment of our day—it was absolutely priceless. Rachel, thank you for all you do… you are so special and talented, we are so grateful and appreciative to have had you!!!!

same) without Rachel. From the first time Rachel and I spoke, I got such a good feeling from her, and also a clear sense for just how much care and effort RBE puts into each and every one their events. We knew the planning of our wedding was going to be a bit more involved and complex than most - we wanted to put on an 150-person, multi-tented wedding in the backyard of my childhood home. Rachel never once shied away from the many steps and hurdles that had to happen between the initial ideation and final execution. If it's not already obvious from, well, every other review: Rachel is the ULTIMATE event planner. Smart, thoughtful, caring, detail-oriented, organized (this was key for me), super creative, a much-needed calming presence when things got crazy... all of it applies! And her team members who were with us day-of - Brette and Anabel - were so lovely and helpful in their own right. Rachel's industry connections are a huge asset, made even better by her ability to really get at and understand precisely what we were looking for. We felt like all of the vendors she sourced for us were both the best at what they do AND the right people/companies to help realize our vision cohesively and expertly. The only negative is that we don't get to keep working with her!! Rachel, from both of us and our families who now also adore you: thank you for everything you sweet event planner angel!

sulted in the most extraordinary night of our families’ lives. Rachel has amazing relationships with outstanding vendors, and she helped us assemble a team that delivered an exceptional experience from start to finish. From the creative menu (Marcey Brownstein Caterer) to the magnificent florals (Ivie Joy), to site visits and venue suggestions for the entire weekend of events and right down to the Mr. Softee ice cream truck that showed up at the end of the wedding, Rachel always knew what to do and who to call and when. Throughout the planning process, and even more importantly, on the day of the actual wedding , Rachel anticipated every need and instantly filled any need (which were few) that we did not expect to have. The entire weekend and week before went smoothly and was stress-free. Her warmth, efficiency and expert skill in making our wedding vision a reality truly allowed us all to experience every magical moment to the fullest, and we will always be grateful to Rachel for this. Working with Rachel Behar was truly a gift 💝 !

with her feel like you're working with a friend. This also means that she has amazing relationships with vendors in the industry that she can tap into to meet your every need (and the vendors adore her!). Rachel is detail oriented and and is able to meet you on your level, whether you want to get into the weeds or focus on the big picture. She will support and enrich whatever ideas you have for your big day and will work tirelessly on the execution. She took the stress out of wedding planning with her calm demeanor and breadth of experience. On a more personal level, Rachel is kind hearted and genuinely cares about making your wedding one of the most special days in your life and will plan it with as much care as she would her own. We could not recommend anyone better for your big day!

time. Rachel consistently struck the perfect balance in letting us drive the vision of our wedding for areas where we had one, and providing ideas and direction when we did not. Rachel responded to even our craziest ideas with interest and dedication to find a way to make them work, and throughout the process we felt that Rachel was hands-on and personally invested in the success of our wedding. Rachel has personal relationships with excellent vendors in the NYC area who are affordable and easy to work with, which is in part thanks to Rachel’s prior experience working across different parts of the industry that gives her a unique “end-to-end” understanding of what it takes to put on an event. Planning a wedding is stressful, but Rachel mitigated that stress as much as possible, including stepping up and making sure everything was in place on the day of. One highlight that shows Rachel’s dedication: part of our vision was to have an ice cream truck arrive at our rehearsal dinner venue in a busy part of Brooklyn, but there was no dedicated parking lot or space for the truck to park. Early in the process, Rachel proactively researched the rules and logistics for our desired plan, and then she went in-person to city hall herself to pickup a permit for the ice cream truck. On the day of the event, Rachel stationed herself in the intended spot and fended off cars, sweet talked the local cops, and made sure our ice cream truck could show up without any issues. You won’t go wrong if you choose RBE!

s. Before we hired Rachel, we were stressed, disorganized and unsure if we’d be able to pull off *any* wedding at all. With Rachel’s help, we had the wedding weekend of our dreams (we heard from several guests that it was the best wedding they had been to!), and the planning process was organized, calm and fun (which I honestly hadn’t thought would be possible before!). Rachel asks couples to brainstorm what their perfect wedding day would look like - I just looked back at my response, and Rachel helped us incorporate every *single* aspect of our dream day. Rachel has fabulous vendor relationships - through her connections, we landed amazing caterers, florists, bands, hair and makeup, photography, lighting and day of stationery, all on short notice, in 2022 of all years - yet she was always an advocate for us above all, landing us an amazing deal on an absolutely jaw dropping hotel suite, negotiating savvily on our behalf, and advising where made sense to spend vs save. Our wedding guests raved about the food, florals, band and stationary at our wedding and honestly - we would never have been able to find or book them without Rachel’s help. She’s a true professional and knows the best vendors in the business. Furthermore, Rachel is extremely organized and responsive. We had literally countless emails and texts between us and Rachel on about every wedding-related topic you can imagine, and she responded to each promptly, calmly and helpfully. She’s also an absolute joy to work with - friendly, funny and positive - and relieved all of our wedding related stresses and concerns with her insightful and thoughtful advice, checklists and check-ins. I’m completely Type A, and it’s a true testament to her skill and talent that on the day of my wedding, I handed Rachel my phone and let her and her team handle all of the logistics - and the day went flawlessly. We can’t wait to work with Rachel again - my husband and I are already trying to brainstorm an excuse to throw another party with Rachel Behar Events!! TLDR - HIRE RACHEL BEHAR EVENTS - TRULY THE BEST OF THE BEST!!!!

y checklists and update emails, she always kept us on schedule and ensured that we never felt overwhelmed. Rachel's calm, cool and collected demeanor and can do attitude combined with her vendor relationships resulted in a stress-free year of wedding planning. Rachel is an awesome advocate for her couples and such a thoughtful communicator - she tackled each of our concerns as if they were her own. Her passion for event planning shines through in everything she does. Because of RBE, we were able to go into our wedding month feeling relaxed and confident that everything was being handled. On the wedding day, Rachel and her team were the first ones there and the last ones to leave - the venue looked better than I could have ever imagined, and while I'm sure that there were things that didn't go as planned - because of RBE, we had absolutely no clue. Our day was beyond perfect and we owe it all to RBE!

ateful for you and your team and I absolutely loved working with you. Even from a distance, you made planning the event so easy and seamless. Thank you again so much. You are incredible and I hope I get to work with you again!!

ended all of the best vendors that fit us and our style exactly, and handled all the planning and communication seamlessly. The day of the wedding went perfectly and she allowed us to really be present with our family and friends without worrying about the details WE COULD NOT RECOMMEND RACHEL AND HER TEAM ENOUGH TO ANYONE PLANNING A WEDDING!

f and handled every little detail prior. She made a lot of effort and moving parts and details seem effortless. From day 1, Rachel was proactive, responsive, communicative, creative, and willing to jump in whenever, wherever. I truly never felt stressed in the wedding planning process because of Rachel's demeanor, quick-on-her-feet-ness, communication skills, organization skills, and vendor knowledge and connections. We can't recommend her enough.

ing process and throughout the party. Her team was incredibly competent and left me worry free the night of the party. Her talent truly knows no limits- a week later I am still being complimented on the event. Her professionalism with all the vendors was second to none and her organizational skills are top notch. She advocates for her client and their wishes. She reviews invoices and has solutions for any roadblock. She kept on a manageable timeline, on budget, and enabled my family to enjoy a flawless event. Rachel has a talent so many in this industry are missing. She is able to execute on her client’s unique visions, or, in my case, bring the creativity and ideas when the client needs assistance. So many of us know the feel we want but can’t put the pieces together. Rachel can do it all in her sleep, it seems. We will be using Rachel Behar Events for all of our milestones in the years to come. Thank you, Rachel! We adore you.

t is thanks to Rachel's eye for design and excellent planning skills. We will definitely be recommending her to anyone having any kind of event in the future -- we couldn't have better things to say about her! Thanks again for EVERYTHING, Rachel!!!

s was worth every penny, and was the smartest money we spent all year. You will be so happy to have worked with Rachel you will be toasting her name on your honeymoon!!

really had our back and went above and beyond. She always came with solutions as well as provided suggestions to make our vision come true! Check out her page on instagram for tagged photos of our amazing wedding! This will not be the last tume we work with Rachel! I could not suggest using her support more for any upcoming NYC events.

istening to what we wanted, and our wedding weekend couldn't have been more perfect!

oving pieces extremely easy and painless, and she actively coordinated with the venue and all of our vendors. Most importantly, Rachel helped us take a somewhat vague image of what we wanted for our party and bring it to life. Her input and guidance made our party feel more like us! On the day of, we were blown away by how everything fit into place so seamlessly because of her attentiveness. Several guests asked us during the event for her contact information – it was that smooth! If we ever throw another event we will definitely be hiring RBE.

he understood exactly what we were looking for and is so well-networked that she found us the best vendors even though we were working with some time constraints. She also intuitively understood what pieces we'd want to be really hands on with and what we needed her to take the lead on and that made it all so seamless and fun. She's such a calming, organized presence. We always knew things were being taken care of even when we couldn't give the wedding our full attention. In the end, the day of was perfect. Everything went so smoothly and we are still getting endless compliments (including a bunch on Rachel specifically because she was so helpful to our friends and family throughout the day and evening). We put a bunch of covid precautions in place at the last minute, including adding on site testing and switching our Friday night location to a new fully outdoors venue. She had already spent so much extra time collecting and tracking all of our guests' vaccine proofs for the venue, but she was a true hero when we decided to make so many changes two weeks before the wedding. She handled all the logistics and made the testing process so easy for us and all the guests. We really can't say enough positive things about Rachel! Working with her is a no-brainer.
