I chose to work with RAWM because I reached out to multiple planners and their team was the fastest to set up a planning call. I knew that they would be on top of their work, and t...
reat our wedding like a priority. Now that we've had our wedding, I can confirm that it was a dream come true.
Our planner Kalika was amazing. We could tell right away that she was very experienced, because she was always one step ahead of any planning questions we had. She was creative, responsive, and listened to exactly what we wanted. On top of being great at her job, she was also so personable and easy to work with.
We really couldn't have asked for a better experience. All vendors they recommended were fantastic, and everything was perfect.
Working with RAWM was amazing. They took the stress out of wedding planning and the big day, and made it more enjoyable than we thought it was going to be. The questionnaires, plan...
ning calls, and general guidance from Kalika and staff guided us towards a personalized and very memorable experience. Working with everyone was a breeze and we were so thankful to have them there with us during the big day, ensuring everything went off without a hitch. Can't recommend them enough!

ss free and enjoyable. From the very beginning, their communication was thoughtful, timely and always reassuring.
On the day of, we were truly blown away by the attention to detail that was provided. Everything came together so beautifully, and i'm still in awe that it was truly my wedding experience. The team worked in perfect sync to bring our vision to life, and we couldn't be more grateful. Our day was everything we dreamed of– classic, meaningful, and unforgettable–not just for us, but all of our family and friends who attended. So much of our experience is thanks to the incredible quality of service and care RAWM team provided.
We would give the RAWM Team 100 stars if we could. They were excellent and made our 5/29/2025 micro wedding ceremony dreams come true! We worked closely with Makenna (planner/coord...
inator) and Kalika (officiant) along the way, and they were absolutely superb. I was a very Type-A bride with lots of questions and some planning anxiety, and they made me feel both at ease and special. They captured our vision and some! We are so grateful to RAWM for their professionalism, kindness, planning chops, and for making our dream come true!
Thanks to Run Away With Me, we had an even more perfect wedding than we had ever dreamed of! My husband and I eloped in October at Harvest Inn. The entire team was truly excellent ...
at their jobs. Officiant Noah’s marriage script was impressive. My makeup and hair turned out even better than I had imagined.
Throughout the wedding, Makenna took care of every detail.
I wore high-heeled wedding shoes, and something was placed under them to make it easier for me to walk on the dirt area. Thinking of this definitely saved me! Small gestures like this are incredibly meaningful. Many details we hadn’t even thought of were carefully considered. Everything we needed for our wedding was provided, and every detail was beautifully taken care of.
Our photographer, Stephanie, captured these special moments in the most beautiful way. Everyone was friendly, fun, and kind. We had such an enjoyable time with everyone. Our wedding venue was just as beautiful as it looked in the photos. Everything was absolutely amazing!
Extremely professional and highly skilled. With everything that goes into a wedding, I felt very well taken care of through out the entire planning process, & most importantly on t...

Runaway With Me was exceptional with their services in planning our elopement. From the very beginning, Britt, Makenna, and Kalika were just the loveliest people to work with. They...
have a smooth process that leaves the planning to them with our input as needed. For someone like myself that’s very busy with work, I appreciate the thoroughness in their preparation on the back end to ensure that communication and planning was done in an efficient and thorough manner. In terms of the actual event, I have to say that it was absolutely beautiful and everything I wanted from my elopement. Every detail was perfect and my husband and I were extremely pleased with the results. Stevi, our officiant, understood what we wanted and executed the ceremony perfectly. Stephanie, our photographer, made us feel like movie stars and really took the time to get every angle. It didn’t hurt that the weather was perfect, but overall, the whole experience was worth it. I cannot recommend Run Away With Me enough. They made our day very special.
What a joy to work with this team!! They were great at managing expectations, making great suggestions, anticipating possible problems and delivering solutions. We ended up havin...
g unexpected rain at our event and they swept in and saved the day!! I wasn't even aware of many of the problems that were solved as they just handled them. Love love love the RAWM team!

eam was a blessing and so helpful to pull this off for us as we were traveling from out of town. From making us feel so comfortable and that this was our day to recommending other great vendors that helped to make this the best experience. Would highly recommend!!!
My daughter got married on Sept 25, 2024 in St Helena, Ca and it was a destination wedding. We hired Run Away with me because of their "all inclusive" option and the reviews that ...
we had read. They exceeded all expectations that we had! There are not strong enough words to describe what an outstanding job they did from the first call until after the wedding helping us load up the bus with our guests and items we needed to take home. Everything they did was perfectly planned and executed. They helped plan the most perfect wedding that exceeded our expectations, helped make the wedding extremely personal (was definitely NOT a one size fits all!) down to minute details, hired and suggested vendors that did beautiful work, and executed a ceremony that was completely flawless! Many many thanks to MaKenna, Kalika, and Stephanie for making our daughter's dream wedding come to life. She has told us that she felt like she was in a movie and that it was the best day of her life. There is no way we could have done it without Run Away with Me team!!

I couldn't be more grateful to Kalika and the "Run Away With Me" team for making our elopement at Annadel Winery an absolute dream come true. From start to finish, their profession...
alism and attention to detail were exceptional. Kalika's guidance and creativity brought our vision to life, while the entire team ensured everything ran smoothly on the day. The decor was stunning, and the coordination was seamless. Thanks to them, we were able to relax and enjoy every moment of our special day. If you're looking for a team that will exceed your expectations and create unforgettable memories, look no further than "Run Away With Me." Highly recommend!
Run Away With Me made our wedding day perfect. We cannot recommend them enough. Whether you're looking to plan a small elegant elopement or Big White Wedding, the Run Away With Me ...
team will make your dreams come true.
When my husband and I started planning, we had no idea what we wanted and were daunted by the sheer amount of choices facing us. Kalika and Sarah walked us through each of the decisions before us with astounding industry knowledge, were nonjudgmental about our budget, and struck the perfect balance of keeping us realistic while delivering the positivity and assurance that our wedding day would be everything we ever wanted. They are such experts. As we got closer to the wedding, they would start each planning call with a check-in to be attentive to our stress levels. We left each interaction with them feeling less stressed and more excited than we started, which really allowed us to enjoy being engaged and the wedding planning process as much as possible.
On the day of our wedding, Kalika, Sarah, Makenna and Stephanie were superheroes. They absolutely nailed the details -- our tablescapes and bouquets looked straight from our Pinterest inspo pictures! The team was attentive, calm, confident, and sweet -- right there to solve any issue that arose (without even giving a hint that an issue had ever arisen) and able to melt into the background just as easily while the party continued. Not to mention, when our officiant (a family member) backed out last minute, Kalika even stepped in to officiate for us. It was beautiful and we have received so many comments afterwards about how incredible the ceremony was.
As a neurotic perfectionist, I was so worried that I wouldn't be able to relax enough to enjoy my wedding day -- but thanks to Run Away With Me I was relaxed, happy, and felt taken care of enough to enjoy a magical day with my new husband and our family and friends. I can say without a doubt that the best decision of our entire wedding planning process was working with Run Away With Me.
From the moment my fiancé had her first call with Run Away With Me we knew that we had found the ideal wedding planners for our Sonoma County wedding. As busy, working individuals ...
we wanted a team that made our lives easier and handled all of the detail work that we wanted off of our plates. RAWM took in all of our requests, questionnaire responses, and notes from calls and orchestrated the perfect wedding day. From ensuring things were all on schedule, to making sure there were drinks and snacks waiting for us after the ceremony, we could not have been more pleased with their services. It is not easy to pair high levels of professionalism and personal connections, but the RAWM team nails it. We have also received so many compliments from family and friends at the wedding regarding how well organized things were. Getting to work with Sarah, Kalika, Makenna, and the rest of the RAWM team was an amazing experience and we cannot thank them enough.

nd were able to have the wedding of our dreams. We worked with Sarah on the day of our wedding and didn't have to worry about a single thing. The entire process was a dream and we're so happy that we're able to look back on our wedding and not have any stress of planning associated with it. Thank you to RAWM for the most magical day - we'll always remember it.
This is a belated review, but oh my goodness hiring this team was the best decision. They put together our small late July 2023 wedding in Sonoma and every detail was perfect, from...
the food to the photos to the flowers the gorgeous venue (Deloach Vineyards, in our case). Not a week has gone by when we haven't made some comment to each other about what a perfect day it was. It brings me such joy to think back on it. I can't recommend them highly enough.
Best decision was to elope thanks to RWME weddings. The best part was the entire experience. Always one step ahead of me. I felt guided the whole way by Kalika. Beautiful ceremony,...
ministry, guidance, and delicious cake! Everything went so smoothly, I wasnt nervous at all. We were beyond thankful for the beautifu bouquets and having the whole setup just like we imagined. The photographer was also amazing felt like my personal photographer who knew us. When we turned in our marriage license we even recommended Run Away With Me and the photographer to a couple looking to be married. Don't miss the opportunity to meet these two if your looking for the most memorable experience. Thank you and we send our love for all the future ceremonies.
The team at RAWM was fantastic. They handled everything and more. We did not have to worry about anything other than uploading some design ideas to their portal and talking through...
little details. Everything else was on them. The vendors they work with are wonderful and we had some amazing photographs done by their resident photographer. They were quick to answer questions and did not hesitate to jump on the phone with us to talk through the wedding. It took a tremendous amount of stress off of us. The wedding day itself was incredible. Everything was to our design, but better and they took care of all the logistics to make sure everything was perfect. Could not have done any of this without them.
RAWM was amazing to work with! I literally showed up to my wedding and had no doubt that everything was going to be as discussed and it was PERFECT! They were exactly what I was lo...
oking for when i was looking for an all inclusive planner. They made big decisions feel very easy. Brianne, Sarah and the entire team were amazing to work with. The day of I had no stress and they ushered us and my guests everywhere we needed to be etc. Would 100% recommend them to anyone, especially if a bride doesn't want to deal directly w/ vendors etc. They were great!
Oh my goodness! Where do I start? I have to say, RAWM was absolutely amazing! The professionalism, quality of service, attention to detail and overall experience was worth every pe...
nny. We didn’t have to stress over planning or making sure everything went smoothly day of because RAWM team took care of it all! We had the most magical day & I wouldn’t have done it any other way! Thank you RAWM! Without you all our wedding day wouldn’t have been the most magical day in our books! If you’re considering RAWM as your wedding planner, don’t wait any longer. You will not be disappointed!
My husband and I want to give a 5 star review to Run Away With Me for helping plan our wedding. The entire team at Run Away With Me was exceptionally thoughtful and diligent in th...
eir planning / logistics, while being super responsive to our many questions. They removed the stress of planning our wedding.
Additionally, I want to call out Sarah, our point of contact and day of lead coordinator, for her help in planning the wedding. She was a hero!!!
Run Away With Me brought our wedding vision to life!! The flowers were beyond perfect. The table settings were perfect. Truly everything was amazing. Our friends and family told us this was the best wedding they ever attended. Run Away With Me completely exceeded our expectations.
The Runaway With Me crew is absolutely amazing! From our first call with them (shout out to Kalika), they put us at ease. We worked primarily with Sarah and Brianne and they made e...
verything so easy, answering any questions we had and giving us great guidance. We live in Australia but that was never an issue because they really took care of every little detail. On the day, everyone was so kind and professional and everything went seamlessly - and we were stress free, having a blast with our family and friends. Couldn't recommend them more! We wish we could relive the day all over again :)
While other planners made me feel like I wasn't a priority (ignoring calls, taking weeks to email me back) RAWM made me feel so special throughout the whole process. Wedding planni...
ng is incredibly stressful, and they made it a breeze.
All the staff were incredibly kind during the planning process, and they gave me reminders/tips right before the ceremony. My specific planner Sarah was so compassionate and supportive.
I truly love RAWM and could not advocate for them more. The wedding cake was delicious and beautiful. The flowers came directly from all my dreams, and the venue was breathtaking.
I could not be happier about how our elopement played out! Our planners at Run Away with me were attentive, easy to work with, and kind but professional. They laid out simple optio...

RAWM brought my dream fairytale wedding to life! I am based in Florida and planned my entire Napa wedding with RAWM. Brianne was excellent at communicating through email and phone ...
calls. Sarah was my day of coordinator along with Kari. They kept everything on schedule and eased my nerves throughout the whole day. Sarah even helped me fix my dress when a button popped off. Stephanie made us feel so comfortable through our photos and the photos turned out amazing! Our wedding day went perfectly and I will cherish the memories forever. I highly recommend RAWM to plan your dream wedding!

I really can't recommend this company enough! 10/10
We truly cannot thank Kalika, Brianne and Sarah enough for making our wedding day so incredible. It was absolutely everything we could have ever wished & hoped for. Their attention...
to detail is unmatched. They took our vision and brought it to life better than we could have ever imagined. If you want your wedding to be a stress-free fairytale, book Run Away With Me!!! Some details below...
Dealing with me: I will be the first to admit I am a bit of a crazy person. I need to know all of the things and I ask 1 million questions. Kalika and team were incredibly patient and kind dealing with my neurotic brain and many, many bullet point novel emails. They were so accommodating to any request and extremely responsive. I trusted them fully and they executed flawlessly.
Food: A+++ Chef Lisa, WOW. Absolutely incredible. Our guests raved about everything from apps to dessert. When I say raved, I mean "best food I've ever had." That is a period. Not just at a wedding but period. We wanted our food to be different, we wanted our guests to have an elevated experience and Chef Lisa delivered. Everything was outstanding. Her staff was also delightful.
Details: I am a detail driven person so leaving everything in their hands made me uncomfortable and boy they blew me out of the water! When I walked into the room and saw the tables, I just about cried. The flowers, the plates, the silverware, the cake... everything was better than I could have imagined. Guys, the silverware. I need to take a moment to discuss the silverware because holy cow. I was like who is getting married right now? Royalty?!? STUNNING. I am not over the silverware, it was so beautiful. I really can't say it enough. They take your vision, your vibe and they make it happen. I kick myself because I stressed my own self out for no reason. They literally think of and handle absolutely everything. So type A friends, let it go - they got you!!
It's the little things: My mother passed away so we had a seat saved at the ceremony for her with a rose, which was very lovely. Kalika and team took it a step further and placed a personalized candle for her on our welcome table. Allowing for her presence to be felt at our reception. I had no idea and it was so perfect. That candle meant so much to me. This is what they do, they get to know you and they do all these little things to make everything absolutely perfect. My wife and I felt so special every second of that day because of them.
Photography: Our photos are BREATHTAKING! Stephanie is a genius and she is so lovely to work with. My wife was a little nervous about the photos because you have to do a lot of silly stuff you probably wouldn't normally do and Stephanie made her feel so comfortable and confident. We love her!!
Last few things...
Kalika was our lead planner but she had a previous commitment so she told us she was unable to make it to our wedding. My wife and I were bummed (because we love her) but felt extremely confident in Brianne and Sarah (because they're amazing). Well, Kalika surprised us and showed up! We had grown quite attached to our team so my wife actually cried because she was so happy she was there.
Kalika, Brianne & Sarah - thank you so much for making us feel so loved and special. Thank you for making our wedding so absolutely perfect for us in every way. You are all so amazing and we are so grateful. Our wedding was a dream!
My husband and I can not say enough AMAZING things about Run Away With Me. Working with them was truly such a seamless process. We gave them exactly what we wanted and they made it...

ot only were they an absolute pleasure to work with but they were also very professional. They organized a thorough walk through and tasting for us a few months before the wedding and guided us every step of the way. We can't thank them enough for making our dream wedding come to life!
From our very first phone call to the end of the wedding day, Run Away With Me was absolutely incredible. They are beyond professional, informative, soo kind and really made me fee...
l so special and important! Our wedding was a dream come true and we couldn’t have done it without them. They have thought of everything and more to make your most special day perfect. Every step of the way felt so effortless. We live in the Florida Keys so planning a destination wedding in wine country sounded quite daunting- I came across Run Away With Me researching the area and I’m SOOO happy I went with them. The entire team is so sweet and professional, they answered any and all of my questions and made me felt at ease. Every one of our guests was also blown away. The flowers, the food, the photography, when I say they took care of everything and made the day feel absolutely seamless I mean it! I was all smiles every step of the way. All our guests kept saying this was the best most beautiful wedding they have ever been to lol and I have some honest and opinionated friends haha. We had our wedding at the Robert Young Winery and omg it was just STUNNING. We cannot wait to come back for every anniversary already. I hear so many brides stressing out about all the little details because there are a million little details however the Run Away With Me team already has it all figured out- easy breezy. You can be as hands on or off as you’d like, they are amazingly accommodating. I can’t even begin to describe how GORGEOUS my flowers were, the cake was heavenly, the fresh local food and ingredients were to die for. There wasn’t one moment where I wasn’t gushing over every little detail they thought about. The day was so lovely and stress free- I still can’t stop smiling about it all. We danced and laughed and had the best time. We even rented a little vintage photobooth called Hitch and let me tell you- it was a hit! The cute photobooth strips of pictures we got are the cutest! The Run Away Team was available and ready to answer any questions every step of the way, especially the weeks and days leading up and the day of they were incredible, I really felt like they were my closest friends making sure every angle was paid attention to. If you’re looking to have the most beautiful small wedding or event that you want all your guests to feel loved and welcome you need to go with this company. I wish I could relive our big day over and over again, it really was the best!!!
Absolutely fantastic, diligent, easy to work with - made our day perfect to the smallest detail!
I wanted to take the time to express how grateful I am to RAWM in creating the most incredible wedding for my partner and I. Brianne, our planner was extremely helpful during the p...
lanning process and executed my vision better that I had hoped for, thank you Brianne for being really wonderful to work with. I would like to mention our photographer Stephanie as well. She went above and beyond on our wedding day and I am grateful for her help and our wedding photos really turned out stunning. Lastly my stylist Katie who I had worked with for both my rehearsal and the wedding day created the exact look I wanted, I felt truly gorgeous and I can't thank her enough.
Thank you to the entire team for creating such a beautiful wedding for us
My husband and I had the perfect wedding, all thanks to RAWM. Our wedding planner, Brianne, was nothing short of professional, kind, and communicative. She was always responsive to...
our wants and needs and really made me feel comfortable leaving all of the wedding planning to her/RAWM. Our wedding was an absolute dream thanks to this company!
Brianne and the RAWM team planned an intimate outdoor wedding at Vintners Resort in Santa Rosa for 50 guests. It was PERFECT!! They made the entire process so easy on us, listened ...
to our vision and made it come to life. Their vendors were excellent….everyone from the Photographer (Stephanie, who is incredible) to their Florist (Alison) and DJ (Vaughn) were just great. I can’t say enough good things about this company, if you’re looking for wedding planners to handle the a-z of your wedding definitely reach out to them, it was a stress-free experience for us! Thank you so much Brianne and everyone at RAWM for an incredible experience that we’ll never forget.
Cannot recommend runawaywithme enough! Brianne, Sarah P, and, of course, Kalika are actual angels and guided us through every step with such incredible kindness. They were responsi...
ve, always available, and so patient with any and every question we had along the way. We would have been so lost without them. Our wedding was beautiful and effortless for us because all of the runawaywithme team’s hard work. They have the best vendor contacts. So many of our guests raved about the cake and the photos. Their venue locations are unmatched. They are truly disrupting the wedding planning industry - best decision we ever made.
HIGHLY recommend! My husband and I wanted an intimate wedding just for the two of us without any major stress and Run Away With Me delivered + so much more. They really captured wh...
at we wanted. When the magic day came, it just went so smoothly and turned out beautiful. Thank you to Kalika (day of coordinator/planner), Stephanie (photographer), Mary (stylist), Stevi (officiant) and everyone involved in making this day amazing for us. Special shoutout to Stephanie for making the photo shoot so fun and relaxing!
The entire RAWM team was phenomenal in making our wedding happen! We cannot say enough for the amount of stress they took off our own shoulders in getting the wedding logistics tog...
ether. There's not a chance we could have gotten this together on our own, even aside from the relatively short timeframe in which we were looking to get this done.
The RAWM crew were responsive by text and email to all our questions, and remained, calm, supportive, and responsive even as we had last-minute realizations for scheduling changes and adjustments. The entire day went off without a hitch, and we had a gorgeous ceremony in a beautiful venue with a lovely backdrop. Each of the vendors working through RAWM also did a wonderful job in executing their roles. We can't recommend RAWM enough!
We wanted a no stress wedding/elopement in Napa. I started thinking I could do it myself and then realized that Run Away With Me had already done all the legwork. The venue, the ...
location, the photographer, the cake, and the flowers were all perfect. I swear they even had a hand in making sure the weather was perfect too. It was so easy and no stress at all. It was perfect!!
We loved everything about our small and intimate wedding! This was way better experience than we expected.
This group has weddings handled! My husband and I were looking for a no fuss event and that expectation was exceeded with the Run Away With Me team.
While we didn't care too much...
to be a part of all the details, it was clear from the start that Kalika and her team were capable of creating the wedding of any standard. All our guests have been saying is was the best wedding they've been to. I'm sure they'll say the same thing if you work with this team.
I didn't know much about planning a wedding or where to start, and quickly became overwhelmed with all the different elements in planning a wedding: venue, hair/makeup, photographe...
r, catering, music, alcohol, officiant, florist etc. Lucky for us, RAWM takes care of everything, while you just have to show up. Our wedding planner/day of coordinator was Kalika, who is easy to talk to, we had a getting to know you phone call and we told her we wanted something special and intimate. I appreciated the convenience of communicating by email and the planning portal, with the freedom to be as involved (or not) as I wanted to be. We shared our preferences with venue location, wedding decor style, color scheme, cake flavors and design, food preference, floral likes/dislikes, and some other details/requests. The day of the wedding the hair/makeup artist arrives at my hotel, her name is Charlene and she is so kind and makes me look stunning. We arrived at the venue and it was absolutely amazing, the flowers were blooming, the redwood trees are majestic, the photo ops are endless and I am greeted by a literal team and Kalika, who make me feel well taken care of. I walk down the aisle with the violinist playing a special requested song and there are white rose petals and a beautiful flowery arch, surrounded by my closest family, I'm already crying. Everything is literally perfect. The officiant, Stevi, is amazing, she is passionate and filled with emotion, she is a master with words, and our ceremony is the most emotional heartfelt experience. The photographer Stephanie was great, all the photos were gorgeous and she was a pleasure, she made us feel comfortable and we're having fun with it. The food was delicious and everyone enjoyed it. The cake was beautiful and tasted heavenly. The bouquet and boutonnière were elegant, the flowers are put together beautifully referencing my color scheme of blush, sage, and white. The violinist was amazing, she set the tone for classy and special. Everything went smoothly, stress free and literally perfect. I am so grateful to Kalika and the entire RAWM team for making our wedding one of the happiest days for us! We made the right choice choosing Run Away With Me!
Run Away With Me made our wedding planning so seamless and easy. Our May 2020 wedding, like many others, had to be canceled due to the pandemic, which, of course, was disappointing...
and could have been a disaster. As busy doctors (my husband works on the front line) in the beginning of the pandemic, managing a wedding would have been impossible for us. But the Run Away With Me staff was immediately responsive and communicative; they took care of everything for us! They postponed and rescheduled our wedding as soon as the venue was allowed to host events in 2021. I can’t imagine how difficult it must have been to manage all of those moving parts! But, it was definitely worth the wait! The wedding and all the details were spectacular and beyond anything I could have done myself. Even the hair and make up artist was scheduled for me and my bridesmaid. Our guests were blown away by the beauty of the event. The venue, wine, food, etc. were top notch. We literally just had to show up and be present in our hearts for our wedding day.
We loved working with Kalika & her team at RAWM. Kalika was extremely helpful throughout the planning process and it was a great balance between being clear on deadlines but not pu...
shy about things that weren't pressing yet. We talked about details that mattered to us but the rest was handled with little hassle. Due to COVID restrictions, we weren't able to taste or see things beforehand but Kalika had great suggestions for us based on the vision we had and what we wanted. She was flexible when we couldn't make up our minds and everything was really easy. Leading up to the wedding, we weren't worried or stressed - just had to show up! We were also able to relax at the wedding and be in the moment with our friends and family because the team at RAWM had everything organized and flowing beautifully. It was seamless and the wedding of our dreams! Even better than anything we could've imagined. All of our guests still talk about what a wonderful wedding it was & how they had an amazing time. It was the best day! Could not recommend them more!
RAWM - The Run Away With Me (RAWM) team was extremely enjoyable to work with, especially in a challenging time to host an event! Their onboarding process, proposal portal, and even...
t portal were very intuitive and helpful. Their fixed price model creates peace of mind and simplifies the financial side of planning a wedding.
Kalika – Kalika, our planner/day-of coordinator was amazing! It only took like 4 inspirational photos and one phone call for her to digest, envision, and co-create our dream wedding. Leading up to our wedding, she partnered with the venue coordinator to ensure that both sides were always on the same page. On the big day, she did a great job of keeping everything on time, making it feel easy, and doing it with a smile!
Vendors – Our officiant, photographer, hair/makeup stylist, DJ, and shuttle drivers were all extremely professional, punctual, highly skilled, and pleasant to be around. It was evident that most of our vendors work events for RAWM on a consistent basis. The collaboration and familiarity made it feel like one team, led by Kalika and RAWM!
WOW Factor – Both our wedding guests and friends that have seen pictures, described our wedding as a “dream” and a “vibe”. My wife and I described our wedding as “effortless perfection”. The RAWM team, with help from the venue team, made all that possible!
Highly Recommend - Planning our wedding was simple, fun, and very low stress, thanks to RAWM. Our wedding day was exactly what we envisioned and we were able to be present and enjoy it with our friends and family, thanks to RAWM!

ail. Very reasonably priced for an all inclusive day of magic where we really just had to show up! Jessica my stylist, was a doll to hang out with and she effortlessly transformed me into a pin up princess, I never gave my hair or makeup another thought. I was comfortable and gorgeous all day and night. Sarah was our day of coordinator and photo shoot assistant. She was a true pro handling every single thing, keeping it all running with ease, even texted me some preview photos that night. A truly lovely person to work with. Kalika was also our gracious officiant and she customized a beautiful ceremony for us that made it all feel so very personal. Stephanie was our photographer and we cannot say enough about how great she was. With her sparkling "bedside" manner, she was a blast to work with and made an hour of shooting a real blast, time just flew by. And her photos were STUNNING! Aces all around with this team!! You cannot go wrong choosing them. An absolute storybook day.
