Rhiannon Bosse Celebrations

edding florals. Rhi was able to listen to the vision I had for our wedding as a whole and she created florals that so beautifully captured the feelings of love, fun, whimsy, and Michigan summer that I wanted threaded throughout the weekend. I put my full trust in her and let her follow her artistic vision and I’m so glad I did. She is wildly creative, thoughtful, organized, and kind. I went from not being much of a flower person to not being able to imagine our weekend without her beautiful floral vision. She is truly the best of the best!

make our vision become reality. Actually, Rhi's artistry was way better than our vision! Due to weather, we had to abandon the outdoor ceremony plan and head indoors. Rhi and her team turned a temporary disappointment into a stunningly joyful acceptance. The indoor magic she created surpassed our wildest dreams. She delivered the most gorgeous, elegant and romantic setting for Grace and Eric. From the lush floral arch to the greenery in the chandeliers to the varied beautiful tablescapes and plethora of candles, the effect was beyond perfect. Our guests were as enchanted with Rhi's floral and greenery prowess as we were, and they eagerly shared their delight. How lucky were we to have Rhiannon Bosse on our wedding team? I cannot recommend her highly enough on all fronts, from communication to sheer talent. Working with Rhi and her team will take your event to a new level. She's simply the best.

rocess was stress free, fun and super easy with their professionalism, commitment, love and dedication. Communicating with Rhi was super easy and she really made our dreams come true! When I saw the floral and design elements for the first time I couldn’t help but shed tears of excitement because it was everything (and more) that I had wished for. Myself, husband and guests were in complete awe as it was truly a fairy tale wedding and everything looked so stunning. The morning of the wedding I was able to see Rhi and her team here and there while getting ready and their calm demeanor amazed me and not an ounce of my body felt stressed about the floral and design during the entire process. I 110% trusted Rhi and her team and it made for such a relaxing and exciting experience. We will forever be grateful for Rhi and her team and I will never forget the way I felt about our wedding day because of this amazing crew! Hands down the best around and we recommend Rhi and her team to anyone looking for floral and/or design elements for their special occasion! I promise you will NOT regret it.

Rhi to anyone who is having a wedding & could not have imagined working with anyone else for our big day. Thank you again Rhi & team - you truly exceeded all our expectations and we can't thank you all enough.

are beyond thrilled with how everything turned out. Rhi took my vision and made it a gorgeous reality. She and her team are friendly, passionate and responsive, and they're all extremely talented professionals. You'd be lucky to have them be part of your vendor team.

e beginning of wedding planning.

ve had Rhi do work for me before so I knew she was great at what she does. BUT…the things she did for my daughter’s wedding was just mind blowing beautiful. She was on top of everything and she thought of things that we never would have crossed our minds. Rhi is a real professional and I wish I could put it into words just how amazing her work is. I would highly encourage anyone who is considering to hire Rhi and her team, do it! I guarantee you will not be disappointed.C

enced wedding planner and event professional in the industry for almost 10 years, I had the honor to work with Rhiannon Bosse Celebration at my venue in Pennsylvania and was BLOWN AWAY by the incredible and unique designs she created. The RBC team came to the venue days early with box vans full of beautiful blooms, worked SO hard, and gave their all! The florals were, lush, bold, beautiful and SO colorful. She truly creates ART! RBC designs are special and distinctive down to the candles. Not only is she an incredible floral designer, but she is also a top-notch planner. Rhiannon is so organized, and her attention to detail is second to none. From the day I started working with Rhi for her clients' wedding celebration, she was beyond friendly, professional, and worked so hard to make her clients wedding and reception exactly how they envisioned it. The end result was nothing like I had ever seen. She delivered that WOW factor that sets an event apart from the rest. Rhiannon is such an inspiring business leader in this industry, with endlessly positive energy and an excitement to make every event as great as it can be, which you sometimes don’t see very often in the event world these days. Rhi is such an insanely imaginative creative force, and I truly feel so lucky that she designed and planned in my event space! I am even more honored I got to work alongside her for this event. If you are a wedding client searching for a floral designer, I PROMISE you, you will feel the same! If you are even considering working with RBC, just DO IT! I know you will LOVE what she will design for you, and the entire process of working with her and her team will be seamless. She is without a doubt the very best in the industry! Rhiannon Bosse will go above and beyond in every aspect. From unbelievable service and product to just being a genuinely amazing person and professional, there is no one better out there! Thanks, Rhi for working with me, and I hope our paths cross again in the future. You are the absolute best!!!

er worked on, and I spent hours ogling her portfolio. Needless to say, when it came to choosing an event designer and floral designer, Rhiannon was the easiest of all easy choices. Working with Rhiannon is something out of a fairytale. She works SO hard in the background, but never lets you know just how hard she's working. Her long, detailed emails look effortless. Her kind demeanor is the most pleasant, especially when you're stressed out by items on your own to-do list. But most of all, the final product, your wedding, looks like a scene out of a magazine. Rhi works with you to conceptualize your vision, make it feel tangible, and put it into action. She has the absolute best team consisting of others who are just as detail-oriented as she is. Her big-picture, almost-too-big-to-picture, ideas for your wedding become a reality, and she makes it look like a piece of cake. Although I knew I was not her only bride this year, she never made me feel that way. She had office hours that I could rely on, she was quick to get back to important emails and she was thoughtful on emails that were not time-sensitive. During my 12-month process working with Rhiannon, she let me own the pieces of the process that were really important to me, and she had my back on things I wouldn't have even thought about. Most importantly, for me, my wedding was not only a marriage between me and my (now) husband. My wedding was a creative marriage between me and Rhiannon, and we created something so beautiful. I had full trust in her that she would make everything stunning. She had full trust in me that I would get done what I said I would. I loved her style and her approach. She (hopefully) loved my attention to detail and Type-A nature. My creative marriage with Rhiannon will forever go down as one of the greatest pleasures of my life and my professional career. If you're thinking about hiring Rhiannon, please STOP THINKING. JUST DO IT. The cost is WELL worth her expertise and the final product. You will be so thrilled you chose to work with Rhiannon and the whole RBC team.

iled thoughtful responses and she really took the time to understand what I wanted. With her wedding planner background she knew exactly how her flowers would fit into bringing my vision to life. She and her husband were an invaluable part of our vendor team on our wedding day. Our tented wedding got hit with a giant rainstorm a couple hours before the ceremony and they helped literally hold everything together. Her florals are not only beautiful but her attention to detail is meticulous. My bouquet was so stunning and perfectly me that I actually mourned the loss of it for days after all the flowers died. Everything from the bouquets, to the flower arrangements, to the flower pillars she made us was beautifully executed. Rhi wasn’t just a florist to me but an integral part of a team that helped us get married that day.

beyond our expectations. The bridal bouquets were absolutely beautiful and the table centerpieces were perfect. I truly can't put into words how magical our venue looked because of her work. The flowers and details she uses are something I have never seen at a wedding before, it is beyond stunning. Her and her team stayed for our entire wedding to help move the ceremony flowers into the venue so we could repurpose them and even came back at the end of the night to ensure we had flowers to take home! She was sooo professional and always made sure we were happy with every single decision. From someone who is extremely Type A, I was able to trust Rhi and her team wholeheartedly. She helped with all of the logistics from getting the groomsmen their boutonnieres, the parents their flowers, flowers for the cake, etc. She truly helped manage every single detail. As wedding planning always comes along with stresses, she was able to ease all of that for us through her kindness, empathy, and professionalism. Working with her was like working with a best friend! Part of me is sad that my wedding is complete and I won't get to work with Rhi anymore, but I will most definitely be using her for any future events and will be recommending Rhi and her team to anyone and everyone I know who is yet to get married! We are so grateful we found Rhi and her team and will always remember how beautiful our wedding was because of them!

team the absolute best decision you’ll ever make. Firstly, yes, Rhiannon will make your wedding gorgeous. Guaranteed. Your mind will be blown like a million times over when it all comes to life. But Rhi is so much more than a person who makes things pretty. She’s a life coach, couples therapist, and a seriously driven businesswoman who will inspire and motivate you daily. Wedding planning isn’t all flowers and centerpieces- it’s about discovering who you are as a couple. That can be stressful and challenging at times. Rhiannon never judged us, our families, or our needs. We always felt we could be 100% honest with her, and felt safe sharing the most personal of details with her. She helped us discover new ways to communicate and work through problems. We are both forever grateful for Rhiannon and all that she taught us. Alright, onto some logistics: Project Management: My partner and I live in NYC, and decided to have our wedding in Michigan. We both have jobs that require travel and a million meetings a day, so we needed someone to keep us on task and coordinate with vendors. Rhi quickly figured out the best communication plan for us, keeping us informed but not overwhelming us with detail we trusted her to manage. We used project management software to manage our budgets, checklists and guest lists. She’s extremely talented at managing a timeline and enforcing timeliness for everyone involved. Organization: Weddings come with a billion details, all of which come beautifully packaged in documents Rhiannon puts together for every project. It was always very easy to find information or ask Rhiannon about something you forgot. Personalization: Rhi quickly figures out you and your partners’ communication style and taste. It makes conversations and decision-making super efficient. Rhi knew me and my schedule well enough to determine what I could own and what I should outsource. It kept our wedding personal, but manageable. Ultimately we ended up with a celebration that felt like us 100%, without the stress of managing every detail ourselves. Beauty! I can’t think of a better word here- but man everything she touches is just gorgeous. Look at her website! Our ceremony, dinner, and reception were all incredible. I will never ever be able to style a bouquet or a table like she can. Rhi genuinely loves floral design and gets super geeked about all things green. I don’t think any of this feels like work to her. It’s truly her joy and passion to celebrate love and bring it to life in a beautiful, personal way. Budget: Rhi crunched every dollar for every fork and leaf in our wedding plan, and helped us figure out how to get the most for our money. She is transparent about fees and what we are getting for them. She pushed vendors to think outside the box to reduce costs, or provide services to supplement their offerings. If we felt we were getting ripped off by a vendor, she went to bat for us. And she is a boss negotiator. Ultimately, we felt we got everything we hoped for and more with a budget we were comfortable with. Point is- work with Rhi. It’s the best and most important decision you’ll make. I couldn’t recommend her more. I would be happy to connect with anyone who is interested and would like to discuss in further detail. Love you forever Rhi. xo

design and execution process. As a person with high expectations, she managed to surpass mine every time. There really aren’t enough words to describe how satisfied and pleased I was with her work. You couldn’t hire anyone better. She really knows her stuff. Our wedding day was stunning, better than we had imagined.

ng in Michigan. After a lot of research we found Rhi, and from day one she never let us down. She even met us while she was on vacation in NYC before we decided to book her. What we loved about Rhi was during our first meetup, her passion towards our wedding and the vision she had already created in her mind for us blew us away. It was if she knew us for years, and knew exactly what we liked/hated from discussing our relationship for 20 minutes. After booking her, she started to plan right away and had all of our "main" and "important" vendors booked by June 2017 (trust her vendors she suggests - they're awesome). The entire process was effortless because we were booking and taking care of all the details before 2017 ended, to ensure we didn't get too stressed! There was never any issues we had to work out or discuss with Rhi, which is very rare. I think the most stressful part of the entire planning with her was deciding which beautiful table arrangement and flower decor we would pick. I, the bride, told Rhi how picky I am and how I expect perfect on my wedding day. The flowers, the decor, the seamless transition between ceremony to reception was perfect and we wouldn't have changed a thing. Rhi also made it a point to stay in budget and we only went over by a few thousand which was our fault because we decided to spend more on a few items last minute. What I love about Rhi is she treats everyone with respect and is so positive. She went out of her way to make sure Chris and I were good, but also took the time to get to know our families and communicated with them during the entire planning period. I could write a book on how amazing Rhi and her team is, but I'll leave you with this, if you need a planner, pick Rhi, she will give you the most amazing wedding and it will be perfect!

(yay Betsi, Jodi, the rest of the women & Andrew too)! From our first consultation call, I knew there was no way this wedding would happen without Rhi. I felt as though I had known her my entire life, she exudes such a genuine kindness and joy. I am a type A perfectionist, so her attention to detail, well thought out planning & exquisite design were so cherished. Our calendar and to-do list were packed to the brim, there isn't a thing she didn't think of. I will be honest when I say Rhi was dealt a very challenging hand with our wedding...but her grace, sense of urgency, class, professionalism, flexibility, ability to think on her toes, perseverance, empathy, love & joy are incomparable. At my breaking points, Rhi was there with such wisdom and love as well as such a peace about her throughout the most stressful of times, which helped to ease all anxiety as she continuously reminded me that I get to marry my best friend. Rhi is so knowledgable and well known in the industry, which made it so easy to put my full trust in her. Before answering a question I was always sure to first seek her insight, most of the time I let her speak on my behalf. Details are everything and Rhi is always sure to design and execute the most special of details. Creating a unique, beautiful evening. Her florals are to die for and her taste is classic and elegant. Rhi worked side by side with us to find the most PERFECT vendors...a whole village of vendors, who she worked with to create a seamless wedding weekend, all coordinated with her 15 page timeline. When I say this woman is the real deal, SHE IS THE REAL DEAL! I thank God every day for Rhi. She not only created a perfect planning experience & inexplainable wedding weekend, but she also opened her heart up, allowing me to gain such a special friend & mentor!

hi's blog and business for years, and emailed her a week after I got engaged (knowing we weren’t going to be getting married for two and a half years), and it was the best decision Tim and I could have possibly made for our wedding day. Rhi had her hand in every single part of our day- from choosing a venue, to stationery, calligraphy, finding our photographer, my hair and makeup team, and the entire design and execution of the day. To say she gave us the most wonderful day almost feels like an understatement. A month later we're still hearing from friends and family that they had the best time, and for many it was the best wedding they've ever been to. Our day felt so uniquely us. Every suggestion Rhi made was with us and our unique story in mind. And the best part was that working with Rhi freed Tim and I up to actually enjoy our engagement. There was no stress the week of our wedding, no worrying about last minute details, and on our big day we didn't have to do anything but dress up, show up, and enjoy the day with our favorite people. My bridesmaids couldn’t believe how relaxed I was the day before and morning of our wedding. We were having an outdoor ceremony and I didn’t even check the weather all week because I had every confidence that no matter what happened, rain or shine, we were going to have the most beautiful day. What a gift, to be able to be a guest at your own wedding! I could hardly believe that after so many years of seeing gorgeous blooms on Rhi’ Instagram and blog that the flowers in that room were for us! I actually jumped up and down when Rhi gave me my bouquet- peonies in July!? She is pure magic! I can't help but smile whenever I think about our wedding and do a little happy dance anytime it gets brought up because everything about our day jut surpassed my wildest dreams. That wouldn't have been possible without Rhi. She was able to give us such a wonderful day because more than being an incredible planner and designer, she's an incredible person. She was able to give us the best day ever because she so genuinely cared about us and wanted us to be happy. She took the time to get to know us, learn our story, and planned an entire day around that. We're so, so grateful for Rhi, Jess, Betsi and the rest of the Rhiannon Bosse team. Working with her was a privilege, and the best part is not only did we have a perfectly executed and gorgeously designed day, we gained a true friend. If we didn't have Rhi our wedding would have just been another wedding, but it was perfectly us in every way. Being a Rhiannon Bosse bride was an honor, and I would do it all over again in a heartbeat!

y I did without the creativity, professionalism, and heart of the Hey Gorgeous team behind it. After following Rhi’s blog for years and having the pleasure of partnering with her for an event for kate spade new york, becoming a Hey Gorgeous bride was a long-time dream for me. And the experience still exceeded every one of my expectations. Planning a wedding with Rhi was like having a built-in best friend with all the ideas and resources in the world. Although we were states apart during my engagement (Chicago to Grand Rapids), I spent more time talking to Rhi about my wedding than any other person in my life - even my fiancé! More than a wedding planner, Rhi was my partner, my confidant, and my friend. I gave Rhi a challenging venue, a tight budget, and a very opinionated perfectionist bride – and her team made magic happen. From the beautiful hand-sketched design proposal, to the enchanting mockup that made our vision come to life, to the flawless execution of every idea, wedding planning with Rhi was one of the best experiences I’ve ever had. The wedding day Rhi dreamed into life for us was colorful, fun, charming, and truly one-of-a-kind – everything we had asked for. Walking in to my venue and seeing the joy in Rhi, Jess, and Betsi’s eyes is one of my favorite memories from the day. These girls love putting on a wedding as much as you love having it. And even though we had walked step by step through the entire day’s plan so many times, I was still blown away by the final product. The flowers! The lights! The table linens that I had always wanted but didn’t think we were going to be able to get! It was all there and more – an absolute dream come true. More than anything, Rhi gave me the gift of happiness. Being able to relax, be present, and be a guest at my own wedding could only have happened knowing every detail and more was carefully and thoughtfully managed. There was absolutely nothing to worry about. This feeling is irreplaceable - brides, you owe yourself this gift! Over and over, guests have told me that they have never seen such a happy bride on her wedding day. I owe this to the wonderful family and friends that surrounded us, the love that my husband and I share, and the amazing Hey Gorgeous team that gave life to a day that celebrated these things. Thank you, Rhi – I will be forever grateful.

ndors for every aspect of our wedding. Thanks to her, we got to choose from the best vendors who were all kind and exceedingly talented. Rhi captured our vision for our wedding perfectly and carried that vision intentionally into every decision-point. She was accessible, knowledgeable, beyond talented and a joy to work with. The cherry on top was Rhi's exceptional floral talent - I am still in awe of the beautiful florals she arranged for our wedding. I was never stressed during our wedding planning or on the day of - not once - and I credit that to Rhi! She made every aspect of the planning and day-of fun and enjoyable. I never doubted that our wedding was in the most talented, capable hands. We recently received our breathtaking photos and video and it's nothing short of magic to get to re-live and see the beauty and wonderful day that Rhi made possible. She is perfection!

ess free event full of creative ideas. The day was gorgeous!

e and reachable but she makes the whole process so easy and fun. It's like planning a wedding with a great friend.

fulness, and effort Rhi put into creating not only the day of our dreams, but in making the entire planning process so relaxed, fun, and truly memorable. Rhi and I formed an immediate friendship, which I truly don't think is hard to do with a person like Rhi. She understood my vision and personality immediately, and I feel like we've been friends for years now. (My dad asks how she's doing all the time-3 months after our wedding) Rhi doesn't just roll out a standard wedding package for every client, she takes the time to truly get to know and care for each client and event she designs, making each experience so unique. One of the things I hear most often from people about our wedding, besides how much fun and how GORGEOUS it was, is "It was so you guys". And it truly was. If you have the chance to work with Rhi for any celebration, do not hesitate! She is truly the best in the biz!

Seattle and was a little worried about how all of the details would fall into place with Rhi living not only across the country, but also in a different time zone. There are a handful of excellent planners in the Seattle area, but they all pale in comparison to Hey Gorgeous Events - we knew it was worth it to choose Rhi over someone local. From our very first phone call to discuss what she offers and how she approaches the whole planning process, we knew that she was exactly who we wanted to help us plan the most important day in our lives. She put my fiance and I at ease from the very beginning and our 15 month long engagement was actually an enjoyable time for us since we knew that every single detail was being thought of and taken care of by Rhi and her team. Rhi really went above and beyond - our wedding experience was something that we will never forget and we are so grateful for Rhi's gentle nudge to bring in truly unique items like custom monogrammed wood medallions to secure our invitation suite together, or cocoa sequined table linens with mustard hued napkins (not to mention the 200+ hand stained {by Rhi, of course} wood napkin rings!) to dress up the rustic wood room. We cannot say enough about how grateful we are to Rhi and the entire Hey Gorgeous Events team for their generosity and love. My mom even not so jokingly said that she wants to have a 35 year vow renewal with my dad and have Rhi plan the whole thing ;) If you choose Hey Gorgeous Events to plan your special celebration, it will be the most memorable and meaningful experience of your life!

hower needed to be planned, I turned to Rhi. Her creativity is original and unique to every event, with her heart poured into every detail. This girl doesn’t miss a beat! So the blooms, Amazing! I couldn’t believe the beauty that each arrangement held. Whatever event you are planning, blooms make it better and Rhi is the one to call.

dible/wonderful to describe how I feel about Rhi and Hey Gorgeous Events. I wanted Rhi to plan our wedding before I was even engaged. I emailed her over a year before Austin “popped the question” to tell her that one day I would be calling to hire her. And finally, about a year later, Austin proposed! I called my parents and then I called Rhi! I was so excited to start working with her. And boy did we work together for a LONG time. Over the course of our 1-year, 9-month, 27-day engagement, Rhi always remained enthusiastic and focused on making our day perfect. Every aspect of our wedding was dealt with in a professional, creative, and hands-on manner. Rhi has a unique way of making her clients feel so loved and so taken care of. Her sense of style and keen awareness of the overall aesthetic of an event is without compare. She is a master of design, a floral goddess, and she runs a tight ship on wedding day! Her attention to detail throughout the entire planning process was impeccable. Another thing I loved about working with Hey Gorgeous Events is that Rhi does the florals. This is great for two reasons—the more obvious reason: it’s one less vendor to try and nail down; and secondly, having the same person, with the same sense of style and vision, design your flowers as well as your décor, allows for a more cohesive and impactful design. I was absolutely floored by the blooms at our wedding!!! I had so many people {even some guys} say that they were the most beautiful flowers they had ever seen at a wedding. Go Rhi!!! On the day-of, I was blown away by her ability to pickup the slack of other vendors and adapt to minor issues so seamlessly and with such grace. She made our day so fun, amazingly beautiful, and totally stress-free. I knew that everything would be handled because I had Rhi. As a bride, that feeling was priceless. Rhi is willing to go about and beyond for her clients. Although she is based in Michigan and we live in Texas, she was there for me for every decision I had to make—whether it was on the phone, via FaceTime, and even flying out to surprise us and style our engagement shoot!!! I was absolutely shocked that someone would fly all the way down to Texas just to be at our engagement session. Just incredible! Rhi gave me the wedding of my dreams and I can’t thank her enough for being an amazing wedding planner, a kind and generous human being—and now a dear dear friend!

hout this entire process, Rhi was not only an exceptional wedding planner, but she became a friend and a part of our family. I don’t think I have ever met someone who puts so much love into everything she does and every person she meets. She is truly special and a one of a kind! She was there to help with every decision, from venue to dj, to cake, to décor, to first dances, to florals, etc. She did it all! We talked at least once a week and sometimes more. If I wanted to text her a quick question, she was there. If I sent her an email, she responded immediately. I even had an emergency question for her on a Saturday, and she responded right away! Despite the fact that she has a personal life, and most likely a million other things going on, she made us feel like we were her number one priority. For every decision that needed to be made, she presented us with different options for everything like flowers, photographers, bakers, dress shops, you name it! She knew our style and our budget, and even made sure to check over contracts beforehand, which was super helpful. She was extremely organized and because of this, nothing felt rushed. Everything was done according to a specific timeline and had plenty of time to think about all the different options. When it came time to talk about things like décor and flowers, she made sure to schedule a Skype date with my mom and I to hear all of our ideas! Being a bride that had absolutely no idea about any of these things, having her opinion and expertise was such a big help! For our wedding, Rhi arrived three days beforehand with an entire team of people and more flowers than I had ever seen in my life! She assembled every single flower by hand with her incredible team that weekend. She handled all logistics and created a timeline to keep all of our vendors and family members organized. She also made sure every detail about the ceremony and the reception were 100% perfect. All of our family and friends were in awe of her talent and hard work. She literally executed the wedding of our dreams. It was so amazing and perfect in every way, all because of her. Not only did she do an amazing job on all of the incredible details like flowers and décor that day, but there were also so many special touches and surprises. I initially thought my dream of hanging bistro lights wouldn’t be able to happen. But on the night of our wedding I was so surprised to see that she had found a way to string them over the dance floor! Also, we didn’t think it was necessary to have a guest book, but Rhi thought we might regret this choice. So, she went out on her own and purchased a large frame to take around to all of our guests. She had each guest sign it without us even knowing! Now that I have this gift, I am so happy she did it! At one point in the night, my dress starting ripping, and like superwoman, Rhi appeared on the dance floor with a needle and thread to sew me back in. I’m telling you, she is that amazing! Like I said above, if I could write a novel for Rhi’s review, I would! If you’re thinking about hiring her, stop thinking and do it. She will dazzle you, excite you, amaze you, surprise you, impress you, etc., etc.! She truly is THE BEST!

d. As a bride who lost her mother I was very worried and anxious about my wedding day. I truly feel that Rhi understood exactly what I was going through and exactly how to make our day perfect. She stayed true to our taste and even threw in a few heartwarming surprises. Not to mention she was able to do the impossible and plan our wedding in 3 months. Rhi also respected our budget and created the most beautiful space for both our ceremony and reception. We feel so blessed to have Hey Gorgeous Events plan our wedding and would recommend her without a doubt. You will not meet a more driven, organized and professional wedding planner and you can be reassured that all of your doubt and worries leading up to your big day will be nonexistent. Even 5 months later our guests are still raving about our unique wedding. Rhi and her team and the best in the business and words cannot describe how blessed and happy we are to have had the honor of working with her. A simple example of how wonderful Rhi is can be seen via the link below (much to our surprise our wedding was featured on Snippet and Ink): http://snippetandink.com/modern-michigan-wedding-at-grand-rapids-downtown-market-ellen-patrick/

everything was done to the point of perfection and beyond. The flowers she used were extremely beautiful and unique, unlike anything I've ever seen before. They were phenomenal! Her ability to communicate with my daughter, her fiancé at the time, and myself was wonderful. She has a great rapport with people, and always makes you feel comfortable. She also makes you feel like you're a part of the process and that you are not imposing on her at all. She will go above and beyond to make sure that you are comfortable with the process of planning. I especially enjoyed her there the before of the ceremony and during the wedding itself. She made us feel so comfortable and at peace that day! When you do put on a wedding it can get very emotional and very difficult, and I have to say there was not one difficult moment during this process. I highly, highly recommend Rhi if you are considering doing a wedding with this exceptional wedding planner because her expertise, creativity, and wonderful personality are above and beyond. She was perfect!-Renee' and John Nannini

to be a nightmare if I attempted to do it alone, and Rhi was the answer to my prayers. On top of her impeccable taste and ability to customize absolutely anything to my style, she was so easy to work with throughout the process and always kept me on schedule so that I never got overly stressed. Even though we planned my wedding long distance (Cincinnati and Grand Rapids), I always felt like she was there for me every step of the way. The wedding was exactly as I envisioned it and that's all because of Rhi. I honestly couldn't recommend her more! If you're looking for someone who's going to take all your crazy wedding dreams that are rolling around in your head (and on your Pinterest boards) and turn it into a real life dream-come-true, Rhi is your girl!

made them a reality My daughter wanted a very unique ceremony and reception, Rhi was able to capture her vision and bring it to life perfectly. On my daughters wedding day, when Rhi showed us the transformed reception hall, we wanted to cry tears of joy. It was beyond beautiful! Rhiannon's extreme creativity brought beauty into every single detail. And did I mention flowers? Oh my, the flowers were exquisite!!! My daughter and I love flowers and had requested many flower arrangements. Each and every centerpiece was perfection with gorgeous varieties of flowers. We had many vases of flowers scattered throughout the reception and cocktail areas and each vase of flowers was uniquely different and stunningly beautiful. Attached to an arch Rhi created for the ceremony was the most breathtaking cluster of vibrant lush greens, succulents, and delicate blooms of stunning flowers cascading around a corner of the arch. Rhiannon has a wonderful gift. She is a visionary and will help you create a magical day to celebrate the most important day of your life.....the day you marry the love of your life. Much love to you Rhi!!!! Brianne Huizenga & Rose Oswald

Style Me Pretty maybe a month before getting engaged. I tucked Rhi's name away in a favorites list that I assumed would grow and that I would later skim through and select a planner from… Except, I never favorited another vendor. I think this highlights the truth - there is no one else out there like Rhi! Hiring her was a no-brainer after a quick phone chat. Over the year and a half of our engagement, planning the wedding was certainly a source of stress, but having Rhi by my side to chew over every detail and decision with was a dream come true. Her patience and creativity blew my mind. Most of my favorite pieces of the wedding were ideas of her's, and I know she had to tire of my 'newbie' questions but she was always encouraging me to ask more. Rhi does a great job of using social media, and my friends (especially bridesmaids) loved it anytime she posted some little tidbit involving our wedding. They were so excited to meet her and see the wedding come together by the time it arrived. I think that, along with the surprises she had hidden for us throughout the day and planning experience, was a super fun part of the HGE experience. And I know the girls and all the rest of our guests were not disappointed when the day came! Even though there were a few 'issues' on the day of, I didn't find out about them until all was said and done (I'm not sure she ever actually told me everything that went wrong ;) The gals who did our make-up/hair said I was the calmest bride they had ever dealt with, and I attribute that 100% to Rhi. I knew all would be taken care of, so I just enjoyed being the bride. That's worth every dime, right there! I see Rhi doing her own floral design as a huge plus, and something that makes her unique. It was so nice being able to trust that my florist and my wedding planner both completely understood my vision and were on the same page (cause they were the same person, ha!) She knocked it out of the park, as I knew she would. Finally, I was really impressed with how well she worked with other vendors, whether they were ones she had suggested or not. She was also absolutely amazing with our 3 year old flower girl, making her feel comfortable enough to walk the aisle like a little lady. I think the worst part about hiring Rhi is the time after the wedding when you say goodbye!

o detail, so when the time came for our baby shower we knew who to call. My mom was hosting and she was so grateful to have Rhi taking care of everything. We both appreciated her input and all her ideas were exactly what we were thinking. The day of the shower came and I was so touched with her added details. Things like, cute straws, baby wishes, initial banners, etc- they made the shower and those are the things our guests noticed the most that my mom and I wouldn't have thought of. If you're looking for someone to plan your special event, Hey Gorg is who to call. She worked with our budget and made the day the most special day.

y got engaged, I contacted her right away. Unfortunately for me, at the time, she was unable to accommodate my wedding in Canada. I was so disappointed. Fast forward 5 months later. I contacted her again, on a whim, because the planning process was becoming so stressful for us. Between my being in school, my husband starting a new job, and other family obligations it was all to much. To my delight, Rhiannon was now available to help me with our Canadian Wedding! From the get go, Rhiannon was professional, enthusiastic, and extremely kind. She provided us with beautiful ideas that perfectly matched our personalities after spending the time to get to know us personally via online conversations and Skype Dates (since we are over 5 hours away from where she lives). After we made the commitment to work with her, we were so so happy with her. Her vision was like no other, and she is so talented in so many ways. She made trips to Canada to visit with us and our venue and church, so that she could get a feel for what we were working with in person, and spent countless hours going over our plans, revising them down to every detail, and making sure that our wedding was going to be exactly how we had envisioned it. On top of all of that, she was so kind, warm hearted, and just an absolute doll. She made herself available whenever we needed her and gave us the peace of mind we needed. We hired her for partial planning and full design and florals, and her work was absolutely beautiful. The day of the wedding went off without a hitch, and it is because she worked tirelessly behind the scene to make it a seamless, gorgeous, and memorable occasion. Not only did she deliver way more than we dreamed, she even had a special surprise for us the day of our wedding that made it even MORE beautiful. She made sure all 250 of our guests were taken care of, and that we had everything we needed during the day - from food and drink to her special bridal emergency kit should we require anything last minute. Her enthusiasm and excitement the day of was also so awesome to see and made us feel so comfortable that everything was going off perfectly. Another really important thing for us was that our parents were happy - and they were absolutely THRILLED with her work. We recently watched back our wedding feature film and the videographers captured her doing her thing the morning of - meticulously arranging the flowers, setting up everything perfectly, and we were reminded again what a gem she was to have. Our guests were in awe at our wedding, from the florals and decor, to the linens and guest books, and said that they had never seen this venue look so beautiful (it is a very popular venue for our area and many many weddings take place there every year). We heard so much feedback from our other vendors (photographers and videographers) that she was a pleasure to work with as well, and she made sure to get all the details of everything that was required from the venue itself. She is a team player in every way and it showed with the end product of our beautiful wedding day. If you have any hesitations about Rhiannon or Hey Gorgeous - this review is my testimony to throw your reservations away and hire her. You will be thrilled, dazzled, and inspired!

tion on every wedding in her portfolio hooked me right away! No two weddings were the same and her ideas were inspiring. After contacting her she quickly got back to me & we started to plan what would be my dream wedding. From Skype dates to talk details, to encouraging notes in the mail along the way Rhi quickly became more than my wedding planner, but a great friend. She calmed me in moments of panic, soothed my indecisiveness & helped me take deep breaths all the way up to my walk down the aisle. I can remember my now husband & I keeping her on the phone for hours until midnight on a weeknight crunching numbers & deciding if we were going to sign the next day for our venue we so desperately wanted. She never seemed bothered, but rather happy to help us through it, and helped us go through other costs and make sure we were spending our money the way WE wanted and always making sure we were comfortable with every last penny & decision made. We ended up choosing our dream venue and everything worked out. She infused our day with modern/romantic touches filled with gray, butter yellow & deep peach colors that dripped from ceiling to floor. She transformed our venue into OUR venue, with little surprises for us along the way that made everything that much more special. I couldn't imagine planning a wedding on my own, and I definitely couldn't imagine planning my wedding without Rhi, because it wouldn't of been my wedding, it would of been one of the many weddings I've been to before with my name on the program under 'bride'...Rhi has a way of transforming your personality/beliefs/tastes and anything else you could dream of into reality and THAT is what makes her so special. Rhi even helped my mom with my non-traditional couples camping themed shower (she of course came up with the adorable theme) and it was one for the books! My family & friends are all still talking about it! I got married to the man of my dreams on 8/17/2013 and have been thinking of writing this review since then, it has taken me this long due to the fact that I simply cannot imagine how to express my gratitude to someone who helped shape the most important day of my life into a beautiful day that I'll never forget and so I'll just say this, thank you... Kristen Sirhan :)

The venue was our home and my husband and I have given more than our share of parties through the years, but I was in a difficult time of my life, dealing with ailing parents and the mere thought of tackling this and making it a wonderful day for the engaged couple simply overwhelmed me. I called Hey Gorgeous Events (our daughter and her fiance had previously contracted Rhi to plan their wedding) approximately six weeks out from the date that was set and asked Rhi for direction. Without hesitation she started coming up with ideas and offered to help make the day amazing. I was overjoyed by the little details she came up with to tie it all together with the wedding she was planning for our "kids" on August 17, 2013. There was a camping theme, a large tent with lights, fire pit with a lounging area around it. Packages of smores put together as favors for the party guests to take home or use around the camp fire. It was all a beautiful, beautiful presentation and a night to remember. Truly different than anything we had seen before. I don't know where her ideas come from, but once she started rolling with it, it just grew to be one incredible evening. The night set the tone for the nuptials to come. There are way too many details for me to describe except to say that nothing was left to chance. She had everything covered and checked with us every step of the way to be sure we were on the same page. I am sure that this shower will be talked about for a long time to come and like my Mother said "it may start a whole new trend". BEAUTIFUL!!

that planning a wedding from afar wasn't going to be easy. Rhi and I first started talking in July of 2012 as I had reached out to her to see if she offered floral services. After our first chat on the phone I immediately knew I wanted to work with her, she was beyond sweet, professional beyond her years, incredibly creative, and she instantly understood my vision for my wedding day. Not only did I end up using her for my flowers (which were UNBELIEVABLE and admired by everyone) but she also handled my linens, chair rental, and overall design of the reception - from little escort cards pinned to tangerines to over-sized balloons attached to my husband and my chairs. No task is too big or too small for Rhi and she will honestly do everything she can to make your vision for your wedding come true. She worked fantastically with my other vendors, communicating with them throughout the process and ensuring that the set up of the big day went off without a hitch. Rhi has a true passion for event planning and design and goes above and beyond to make her brides feel so special. She even put together a beautiful flower arrangement in memory of my mom that sat upon the altar at our ceremony. Seriously, the sweetest thing ever. She invests so much of her time and heart into each wedding and it absolutely shows. I honestly cannot say enough great things about Rhi and working with her was really a blessing. I admire her so much and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a great wedding planner - you can't beat Rhi.

oth practical and fantastical / imaginative terms. As artists, our ideas for our big day were expansive and also had a level of abstraction. Rhi brought our abstract concepts, specific hopes and most important desires for the day into shape. She realized our ideas while establishing trust with us and adding her own suggestions in order to further define and make possible the event. She contributed her own ideas to the process and we began to collaborate in order to bring to life cross-cultural influences from Taipei / Taiwanese and Kentuckian / American Southern traditions. We complemented these traditions with our own aesthetics in ways that most literally and directly were made possible by all of the hard work and dedication that Rhiannon put into the process with us, into helping us to take our steps together on our journey.

s and we hesitated in hiring a professional event designer to help us in constructing what seemly we could have just done ourselves. Boy, am I glad that we chose Hey Gorgeous Event! Rhiannon is professional, friendly, and helpful. Beyond that (usual requirement of a wedding event designer), she is extremely sincere. We wanted a shabby chic, glitter rainbow, cowboy unicorn fantasy wedding that wasn’t cheesy or immature. We required all the classic romantic notions on top of a unique but difficult-to-achieve concept. All of the above had to fit into a somewhat traditional wedding because we are nostalgic and think being old school is sweet. Lastly, our wedding had to represent us as who we are. Rhiannon did such an awesome job hitting every of our demands. She earned a flying A. Her sincerity in being on the same team as her clients shone through all our planning and accomplished much more than I expected. Our fantastic wedding was also an out-of-town wedding in Michigan (we live in Chicago) with a limited budget. I am Taiwanese, and being the first to be married amongst my close girlfriends, I was completely unfamiliar with all the proper wedding planning, western traditions and necessities. Rhiannon selflessly taught me all the knowledge a bride should know and more to my husband. She stayed on top of the budget throughout the entire process, and even after the wedding. She was totally flexible for our meetings (via phone, on Skype or in person). She is well connected locally and nationally in the wedding industry, which helped tremendously to cut down expenses. She also is a talented florist. The floral arrangements in my wedding made my mother (part-time florist herself) gasp. Rhiannon has great taste and always shared her honest opinions to my sometimes-crazy ideas. She never once limited my creative freedom and desire as her client and the bride. She’s always respectful, and patient even when there’s a problem with vendors or there’s been a change of plans. She has a warm and cheerful personality that helped me stay calm, organized and excited. She constantly expressed her gratitude, which included sending us some special little newly wed gifts. But most importantly, Rhiannon is genuine when she says she wants to be part of your wedding and make it better than amazing. She is damn good at it and the Internet agrees! Her genuine sincerity and professional drive to self-betterment as an event designer was what made her go so many extra miles in making my dream wedding come true. A bride-to-be is often told: at least one thing will go wrong during her big day. Nothing went wrong because Rhiannon planned my wedding. She was there on my big day before and after me. More than 10 guests e-mailed us the day after our wedding, telling my husband and I they had just attended the best wedding in their lives. Still don’t believe me? Find #shabbychicglitterunicornrainbowwedding on Instagram and ask Rhiannon’s 14K followers. I am so grateful to have found and worked with Rhiannon and Hey Gorgeous Event. Thank you, Rhiannon. We heart you.

o work with us as a coordinator, but Rhi provided so much more! She gave vendor referrals, kept us on track in the planning, and, most importantly, provided some much needed support, encouragement, and inspiration throughout the planning process. I really valued having Rhi's opinion (because obviously she has the most amazing taste) and was so glad we had her to pull together all the little details and make our wedding pretty and perfectly us. I left every skype date with Rhi feeling energized and exciting and CALM about our wedding. Rhi also acted as an advocate for us with our vendors and took over communication and coordination with them, which was a HUGE weight off my shoulders. I knew Rhi was always on top of everything. The weekend of the wedding she was so amazing. She even coordinated last minute rentals for me when I called her in a panic the day before the wedding. Rhi made our wedding run like a dream and brought all the gorgeous details together so smoothly. I didn't worry about a thing on my wedding day, and for that I am so grateful. She even brought me my favorite Starbucks drink the morning of the wedding while we were getting married! Rhi is simply the sweetest person and works her butt off for all her clients. Her heart and soul is in her work and it really shows. I am so happy to have stumbled on her blog and found her. thanks Rhi!

e very beginning. As you can obviously see in every aspect of her life, this girl knows about all things gorgeous. She seems to have endless creativity and is all about making your day as unique and lovely, as well as personal to you and your loved one, as possible. Rhi goes above and beyond in every realm. She's incredibly organized and timely, and ensures that you are as well. She's always shooting an email, text or giving you a call to keep you up to date and planning for the next item on the checklist. She's a source of comfort when you are overwhelmed or unsure, and along with that, she's a problem solver who dishes out ideas and advice as effectively as a 30 year veteran of the industry. On the day of, we knew we had nothing to worry about because Rhi would be take care of everything. We couldn't have asked for more and you will not find a better coordinator.

less. My fiancé and I stumbled upon Rhi pretty early on during our planning process. For a solid year, we worked through securing vendors, selecting inspiration, working on favors, picking out décor, and everything in between. Rhi was on top of every detail from head to toe and she never missed a beat. Additionally, her upbeat attitude and professionalism were evident as a few wrenches were thrown our way. To give you an example, Rhi really came in handy when I decided that we wanted to change our venue. Her expertise, knowledge of Northern Michigan, and familiarity with vendors in the area allowed the transition to be as smooth as possible. Also, when the vendor we were using for our linens and chairs did not come through, she researched other options to ensure that we would be covered. During the weeks leading up to the wedding, I found out very quickly that Rhi was the best investment that we had made throughout this process. She was always accessible via email and phone for last minute details. Additionally, she created a minute by minute schedule for everyone involved with the wedding. Rhi also contacted all of our vendors to make sure that they were prepared for the wedding. One more thing that is worth mentioning is Rhi’s innovative ideas, creative inspiration, and ability to execute our “wedding vision.” She went above and beyond to make sure that our day was unique and special for us. A few highlights included our cake and pie display, tree hanging photo frame for guests to take pictures, and “hitched” sign hanging from the ’55 Chevy I rode down to the ceremony in. The biggest surprise was the handmade pink and purple fabric garlands hung from the ceiling in the barn. I can’t thank Rhi enough for the effort, time, and heart that she put into making our day a wedding that our guests and we will always remember. While I am sad that our journey with Rhi has come to an end, I feel fortunate that I have found a new friend. In closing, hire her!

provided us with a very thorough timeline as well as checklists to keep us in line. She also brought great ideas to the table that worked well with our venue and budget. Rhi took care of all of our needs on the wedding day, including chasing our niece and calming nerves. She made sure every last detail was taken care of (and photographed) and was very professional and kind to all of our family and friends. Rhi even found us a place to live after we were married. But above all, Rhi was awesome to work with. She was sweet and understanding of all things wedding-related, including stress. Her taste and style are impeccable and her personality makes her a joy to work with. Rhi goes above and beyond for her brides and grooms. She single-handedly made our wedding day flawless and beautiful. It was an honor for us to work with Rhiannon. No wedding is complete without her!

nor myself lived in the State. She truly was our fairy godmother, and worked incredible magic. Rhi searched venues with me in Detroit, and with photographs and her vision for the space, assured the bride and groom that this was their perfect wedding spot. Months later when they first saw the venue they agreed. Rhi found vendors that transformed our ideas and her vision into a magical day, forever keeping in mind the budget we had set. She attended cake and dinner tastings with us, and met with us twice at home in Ontario. We exchanged countless emails and had several Skype dates. Her attention to detail is remarkable, and her timelines invaluable. She has an uncanny sense of knowing when things are not ‘quite right’. I received text messages that would simply said ‘are you ok?’ In these moments she would cleverly smooth the waters between my daughter and I who on a number of occasions had differing opinions. She understands stress and knows how to handle it. She is an unbelievably organized person, and professional in her dealings with all the vendors and venue staff. She goes above and beyond anyone’s expectations, from wrapping groom’s gifts to purchasing limes!....little things to some, but huge for us planning a ‘destination’ wedding. There is nothing Rhi won’t do, or can do for you. What sets Rhiannon apart is her genuine enthusiasm and love for her job. She treats each wedding as if it were her very own, which is evident in all the little details and surprises she adds. She is talented, creative, sweet and sincere. Wedding day was absolute perfection. I enjoyed every single moment of it, as did my daughter. Stress-free weddings – priceless.

ng decor early on in my engagement and after a few emails back and forth about elements of her wedding decor (which she graciously answered) we got talking about having her work with me on the day of my wedding. I hired Rhi as a Day of Coordinator and she went above and beyond this with immediate email responses, ordering & accepting courier deliveries, lending me decorations and so on...And, on top of it all, she offered her friendship & emotional support leading up to my wedding. On our wedding day Rhi was even more fantastic than I could have imagined. She made my vision come to life, kept me calm, handed all of the vendors and made quite the impression on all of our guests. Thank you Rhi for being such a pivotal part of our wedding journey.

tion in order for all of our plans to become reality. Initially we hired her to do “partial planning;” we skyped and emailed one another to lock down key vendors (which she provided since we live in Chicago, and our wedding was in Northern Michigan). Rhi also set lists and timelines for us, so we knew exactly what we should have accomplished by a certain date before the big day. This was key to us, since we were looking at a very long list of to-dos, and had a hard time prioritizing them. Once our partial planning was over, we decided that we wanted to have Rhi with us on the actual day of our wedding as well. After getting to know her so well, and after she invested so much time, energy and ideas we truly believed that she would be able to take everything we planned and make it a reality. I can honestly say that Rhi was the sister I never had those few months leading up to our wedding. She was constantly thinking of things, emailing ideas, following up with me to make sure I did something I said I would do, contacting vendors, and finalizing every single last detail. I often wondered how she was able to treat all of her clients the way she did us since she devoted so much time to our wedding. Rhi’s creativity, organization, and genuine enthusiasm made our planning experience absolutely wonderful, and I cannot thank myself enough for hiring her. I cannot imagine what I would have been like without her… We knew having Rhi with us on our wedding day that everything was under control. The decor, vendor organization, timeline of the day-of, and coordination with the venue was fully taken off our plate, and we were able to simply enjoy every moment of our wedding day.
