Slauer Events & Design

everything ran perfectly on our wedding day. I felt so at ease knowing she had everything handled, and the entire day went smoothly from start to finish. I would highly recommend her to anyone and would absolutely trust her with such an important day!!

l was kind, helpful, flexible and encouraging throughout the entire planning process and wedding weekend and provided valuable insight and suggestions when we didn't know what decisions to make during the planning period. If you're looking for a planner for your wedding, I highly recommend Rachel and her team to ease your mind and help flawlessly execute your wedding!

d with. Rachel has incredible attention to detail. She often made suggestions about things that we hadn’t even considered (which is saying something, as me and my wife are pretty detail-oriented ourselves). She always knew the right questions to ask, in both the internal meetings with us, and in the communications with various external vendors. Her planned timeline for the day was executed flawlessly. People always tell you to “expect surprises” on the day of your wedding. For any issues that our vendors had, Rachel figured out how to solve them without needing to involve us at all, and from our perspective, there were absolutely zero “bad” surprises on the day of the wedding. She followed through on every promise that she made, and even more so, took ownership of tasks which we weren’t even privy to. In addition to Rachel being excellent at planning, she is outstanding at communicating and alleviating wedding stress. We’ve been to many other weddings where the wedding planner seems to absorb the stress of the wedding, and I’m happy to say that this was NOT the case with Rachel. She showed tremendous poise and professionalism on the day of the wedding, even when tensions were running high among the family and wedding party. It was so relieving to know that we could rely on her not just for her planning, but to also be a level-headed expert who the rest of the room could look to in times of stress. To anybody interested in planning a wedding, I cannot recommend Rachel any more highly. She is the best that it gets.

eet but also very take charge! She was very confident in her wedding planning experience and had an attention to detail that was so amazing! I love that her format allows for some individual planning as well as group planning with her team! It made me feel still part of the planning but also confident that she could make our vision come true day of! I would highly recommend her team to anyone in the Atlanta area! I her from my other vendors that she was a great help and was amazing at communicating all the important information.

would recommend Rachel to anyone, no matter what your wedding looks like. This was the best investment we made in our planning process.

rted throughout the entire process. Not a single thing went wrong throughout the entire day thanks to Rachels amazing planning & coordination. My vendors RAVED about her in the months leading up to our wedding. They were so impressed with her level of organization and communication. Not once during the day did I have to worry about where to be and when, Rachel was always right there to support but she also gave me and my husband the space to be able to enjoy our day without having to worry about event coordination. I wouldn't work with anyone else but Rachel if I had to do it all over again. She is the best of the best! Thank you, Rachel!!!

, and understanding. We hired her for her event management and were blown away by the level of support, attention to detail, and care she showed during the entire planning process and the wedding day itself. From the morning into evening of our wedding day, Rachel seemed to be everywhere at once. She not only assisted in set up but coordinated the entire day and finished packing everything up at the end of the night. We enjoyed ourselves the entire day, and I can guarantee our wedding would not have been as perfect as it was if we didn't have Rachel. I can't thank her enough for everything she did, and absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a seamless, picture-perfect wedding day.

lanning the day of the wedding. It was less stressful because we could depend on her team to oversee everything on the day of the weeing. I would highly recommend their sevices.

ce I received was, HIRE A WEDDING PLANNER :)!!. So, my husband and I did a bit of research and decided to hire Rachel and her team for their full wedding planning services. We had a VERY long engagement, and Rachel was by our side the whole time. She took our basic ideas and transformed them into a cohesive vision that captured the spirit of our relationship in a way that we never could've done on our own. We were beyond thrilled with Rachel and every single vendor she recommended. And on top of all that, Rachel is just a genuinely kind human. She was fun to work with and we felt truly cared for. Thank you, Rachel & team, for giving us the most perfect day <3.

our entire journey. Rachel was great at communicating with all of our vendors. Even when our venue was slow to respond to our communication Rachel stayed on top of it and made sure they followed up with us. She met with us multiple times in person before the wedding, she helped with our timeline, she organized all of vendors, and over saw everything during our wedding. On our wedding day things were happening behind the scenes and I never had to worry about anything. I would highly recommend Rachel to anyone looking for a wedding planner!

e had as beautiful of a wedding day without her and her assistant Danielle. Through the entire process Rachel was wonderful to work with. She provided helpful guidance early on in the planning, and when we got closer to our wedding date she gladly adjusted timelines, answered many questions, and kindly worked with our other vendors prepping for the big day. All of the vendor recommendations that Rachel provided to us that we used were also wonderful! She is very knowledgeable about the GA/NC wedding industry. Rachel is patient and it is apparent she has the ability to work with many types of personalities. The rehearsal and wedding day were executed to perfection. Rachel had such a calm presence and made sure everything went according to plan. Rachel set up the décor and inventory better than I could have imagined and made last minute decisions and changes to her best discretion without making me think about any of those little details the day of the wedding. Rachel is a professional and expert in her field. The list could go on for all the little details she helped us with. I would hire her again and again because I know that her high standard of work was one of the major reasons our wedding was such a success! Thank you Rachel & Slauer Events for everything!

vendors helped make both go so smoothly. Her organization and calm presence were exactly what we needed day-of! Highly recommend her services!

ding day. She made sure that my entire vendor team was on the same page. The ceremony and reception spaces were set up exactly as I imagined. She is also one of the kindest people that I have ever met. I can’t imagine navigating my wedding without her guidance. Thank you for an incredible day!!

t they were engaged every step of the way. They provided great ideas/solutions and helped me organize the chaos of planning. They also went above and beyond in set up, as we did a lot of DIY. Multiple vendors told us what a joy they were to work with and the day went so smoothly. I HIGHLY recommend hiring them for your event!

we had. She made the 30 days before our wedding easy and so stress-free. Our wedding day was absolutely seamless thanks to Rachel. I highly recommend and would hire Rachel all over again and again!

to go off without a problem. Rachel not only made it so we were not worried about missing something important for our wedding through her constant communication but also helped fulfill (and improve!) our vision. Our wedding day was everything and more we had imagined, in large part because of her. On the wedding day we were able to be fully present to enjoy the love and happiness knowing that Rachel and her team were handling the many, many details needed to make the day a success. You cannot go wrong with Rachel as your wedding planner!

s made so enjoyable by Rachel and her team! Rachel was so attentive and informative throughout the planning process and always helped to answer my millions of questions or calm me down when I started to panic over minute details. She was so incredibly organized and detailed and that was so important to me as an extremely type A personality. She was always patient with us and supported all of our ideas. Not only is she incredibly kind, but incredibly professional as well. She handled the day of our wedding with such ease! It was truly one of the most magical and stress-free days and for that we could not be more grateful. If you are looking for someone to help plan and support your big day look no further than Slauer Events & Design!!

r almost two years planning our wedding. She was so kind, organized, communicative, and had phenomenal ideas! As a very detail-oriented bride, Rachel helped me execute all my little ideas with perfection. My day ended up being amazing, low-stress, and exactly what we wanted. I would highly recommend Rachel and Slauer Events for anyone looking to have their dream day.

e necessary information and helped us with tours and just like that our venue is now booked and we have a date set at a dream of a venue! You heard our wants and delivered in a big way. Thank you! We are forever grateful.

ge with her not fully starting until 6-8 weeks out, she was a support system the entire time and was willing to answer any questions or provide help wherever we needed it. Once we got closer to the wedding, Rachel really took over and minimized all stress that I was having! She was unbelievably kind, polite, responsive and overall just made the entire wedding planning process so easy. She constantly kept us on track with to-dos and had answers to questions we hadn't even thought of yet. On the day of the wedding itself, Rachel made everything flow and operate seamlessly. If something did go wrong, I didn't even know about it because she was already on top of it! She was beyond organized and I know our wedding would not have gone as smoothly without her. On top of all of that, Rachel is one of the kindest people I've ever worked with! She always made me feel like a priority and wanted the day to be as special as it could have been. If you're looking for a wedding planner/coordinator, I couldn't recommend Rachel enough!!

r touchpoints and milestones along the way. Danielle was very organized and professional and also offered wonderful input and ideas. When it came to the day of the wedding, I was able to enjoy my day and not worry about a thing! It was such a great decision using them, I highly recommend!

all, we felt genuinely cared for and heard. Amazingly, she was able to translate the jumbled vision we had into reality in the most elegant, magical way. She made the entire process so much less stressful with her care, support, and guidance. We felt like we were the only couple she was working with because she always gave us her full dedication and really got to know us to make our wedding uniquely us. She was organized and detailed oriented so we knew we could trust her to ensure everything was taken care of and nothing was forgotten. On the day of the wedding Rachel was the go-to for so many people and ensured our day was smooth and as planned. Even our family members and friends were complimenting and thanking Rachel for how caring and helpful she was, and the incredible job she had done making our day special. We can’t imagine going through this journey without Rachel and would strongly recommend her to any couple!

the big day, ensuring we were hitting all of our major milestones. On the day of the wedding, her and her team went above and beyond. Not only did everything run smoothly, they were constantly checking in to make sure we were doing okay and helping us with the little things. If you want someone you can trust so you can do the important thing (enjoy your big day) I highly recommend.

and absolutely helped reduce stress on my end. Everything went perfectly for our wedding day and it was all thanks to Rachel! Everything was so organized on the day of, my family, friends and I didn’t have to worry about anything. She even took a ton of behind-the-scenes videos and pictures that I am so incredibly thankful to have. Highly recommend Rachel and her team to help with your wedding!

From the beginning of our planning period until even after the wedding, Rachel has been there every step of the way!! Rachel is incredibly detail oriented and thoughtful - she knows her way around your wedding day and will make suggestions that are tailored to you and your vision. She will also send reminders so that you can stay on top of any tasks that you need and so you don't miss any deadlines. We had certain budget limitations and Rachel always worked within those ranges, helping us cut cost where we can and also finding creative alternatives that would still keep our wedding classy and ~bougie~. She is responsive and organized - once we started our vendor search, I gave her kind of a vague list of things I was looking for and my budget - within the week she sent us a list of venues with the open dates and their pricing and reached out to all of the venues we wanted to tour. Her timeline of our wedding day was detailed out to the minute, color coded, and she was very purposeful in the flow of events - taking into consideration our families and our guests. We had to make rain plans the week of, and Rachel was really quick with providing us options, making a strong suggestion, but also not losing out on the hope that it might not rain (which it did not rain whoop whoop!). She is the GREATEST team player. Our wedding had SO many planned surprises, we had 2 surprise dances, a surprise toast, AND a surprise ice cream truck - all of this which she coordinated with different family members, vendors and friends of ours - keeping everything successfully under wraps and she perfectly executed it the day of!! Rachel is not pushy, makes thoughtful suggestions, but is also very direct which is exactly what we needed. She was so involved in our wedding process even as a partial planner and was always a phone call / text away. I am eternally grateful for her! We have countless examples of why Rachel is THE wedding planner that you need - if you want to see your dream vision of a wedding come to life, Slauer Events is the way to go!

Rachel was easy to work with, always quick with replies to my questions, and helped workshop all those little details that I was clueless about. She understood my vision perfectly and went above and beyond to bring it to life. Can’t recommend her enough!!

nce and her ability to fit many requests in. Her team executed in a way that honors the couple, their family and their vendor's team. What I appreciate is that she is so for the couple that she steps in and makes what needs to happen possible for the vendors to create their very best. This is all while offering a great attitude and extending kindness. If you want your guests to be well taken care of while also having someone who is on the team WITH your vendors, Rachel truly will then exceed your expectations.

cative every step of the way. She brought my vision to life and it was SO fun seeing everything come together on the wedding day! She brought such a sense of peace and calmness on the day-of, and helped me stay relaxed and calm all day long!

so easy and seamless. She reached out to every vendor, but let me step in whenever I wanted to. She provided her expert advice, but never pushed back when I offered an alternative. We never once felt alone in the process. She followed up with vendors when they were slow to respond, was respectful of our budget, and was EXTREMELY organized. Having Rachel with us every step of the way really put our minds at ease. She took care of everything while we were busy with work/life and, on the day of the wedding, she was an absolute angel. If anything went wrong on our wedding day, we didn't know about it. Rachel took care of everything and worked tirelessly behind the scenes to make sure everything was going smoothly. She was there when we needed her and somehow kept everything on time while maintaining an incredibly calming presence. Throughout the planning process, we could text or call Rachel any time, and I really feel like we made a good friend out of the whole process. I will actually miss working with her. If you're on the fence, hire Rachel for her full services. Our wedding day was absolutely perfect, and Rachel had a lot to do with that!

first time, we knew she would be a great fit as our planner. Rachel helped us figure out a wedding vision and assisted with coordinating vendors and all the little details. She always had great ideas that I never would have thought of and was very easy to communicate with. Rachel was always willing to meet with us and answer any questions we had, and I always felt relieved and less stressed after each planning session. Everything she sent out was organized and helped me stay on track for timelines. Our wedding rehearsal was at our house since we were unable to rehearse at the venue, and it was hectic but Rachel was so calm and collected the entire time and made things run smoothly! On our actual wedding day, Rachel was so helpful and went above and beyond for us. She kept everything on time and moving along and used the decor we brought to make a beautiful ceremony and reception space! Her assistant was also fantastic and took care of us the whole time. I did not have to worry about the little details and logistics because Rachel and her team took care of it all and made our wedding day so smooth! I could not recommend Slauer Events & Design more, Rachel was absolutely wonderful and we could not have done it without her!

to planning my wedding. I would definitely recommend and am very thankful I found her for my wedding! It turned out perfectly!

at I wanted and made it come true. I especially appreciated her on the wedding day. My husband and I were left to purely enjoy the day with our family and friends while Rachel took care of the details and communications with vendors. Our wedding day and the entire planning process wouldn't have been the same without Rachel–she's everything you would want in your wedding planner!

calming, which was a great help to both me and my daughter. I would not hesitate to recommend her.

planning process. We will forever be grateful for Rachel’s time and commitment, attention to detail, and genuine care that she poured into our wedding day. This post is a long one, but if you have made it this far, then the remainder is worth your time. We hope you catch a glimpse of the integrity that Rachel has built her team around and the kind heart that she brings to each interaction. Even before signing our contract, my first phone conversation with Rachel allowed me to see the thought and care she gives to her work and the dedication she provides to her clients. Then from our initial in-person consult to every phone call and meet-up thereafter, Rachel went above and beyond her agreed upon vendor duties. Rachel was there every step of the way – answering late night questions and concerns via text and email, providing suggestions for setting day-of logistics and managing vendor relationships, creating a day-of wedding timeline months ahead of schedule. As a highly organized, detail-driven individual, I came to Rachel with every single detail for the day outlined start to finish (even complete with detailed blueprints of the ceremony and reception floor plans, notes on décor placement, day-of reminders and to-dos). Looking back, these plans were most likely overkill, but Rachel and her team didn’t even blink. Our ceremony and reception were at two separate locations, but they managed vendors and setup/breakdown at both with no hiccups. Every detail was carried out to perfection. Our wedding was a dream. Wedding days are exhausting. Early arrival times for hair and makeup with long setup times for décor. Aside from the florist’s flower delivery and the caterer’s glassware and flatware for table settings, all of the remaining décor was delivered the morning of the wedding by our families. Rachel made sure that every item was in place (again to match my detailed plans) while continuing to coordinate with vendors throughout the day. She then stayed until all items were packed up at the end of the night. Under normal circumstances, this would be an exhausting, whirlwind day for anyone; add to this that Rachel was around 8 months pregnant at the time, and you can understand just how much more she went above and beyond to deliver our perfect day. It is worth mentioning more here about Rachel’s team. Rachel brought two assistants with her for coverage of our ceremony and reception. Even with meeting both on the day-of just hours before our wedding, it was evident that they bring the same care and dedication as Rachel. We would recommend Rachel and her team time and time again.

avigating COVID cancellations/restrictions and coming up with back up plans. I completely trusted her with my entire wedding day, and everything was perfect.

we didn't realize she did at the time because everything went so smoothly. She is a professional, kind, and efficient, and I am SO happy we chose her to be a part of our day!

ing planning, it is easy to feel shame that you’re not doing enough, not thinking through everything, or can’t juggle all the details; Rachel made the process of planning a wedding so peaceful and I immediately trusted her ability to juggle all the details in a professional and organized manner. Rachel’s desire to care deeply about the individual and their vision for their wedding, while also being gifted with communication and organizational skills, makes her an exceptional wedding planner that I would recommend to everyone!

always professional and kind. I am one of those people for whom it's hard to give up control, but I knew that if I was ever going to do it, it needed to be for my wedding! Rachel kept track of all the details, reminded me when I needed to complete tasks, and took my requests and ran with them. All of this in the time of COVID!! I lost track of the number of changes she rolled with, all while keeping her poise and overwhelmingly positive attitude. I did NOT have an expensive wedding (I came nowhere near the national average) and it was still 100% worth hiring Rachel to plan it. All of my friends are married already, so now it's my duty to find new friends on the internet just so I can convince them to hire Rachel to plan their wedding!!

life. Rachel brings a sense of joy and grounding regardless of any circumstance. She was quick to offer solutions and was always one step ahead of any possible barrier. As a Type A planner, it was so comforting to know that Rachel was both detail oriented and organized. Rachel proactively checked in often as she was busy coordinating with all the vendors behind the scene. In addition, she was quick to respond to any question we had. She worked hard to ensure the month prior was smooth sailing and all the details were in place regardless of whether we were in Plan A or F. We could enjoy the final month countdown knowing our day would be a fairytale despite all the changes. Rachel was no different the day of the wedding! Her nurturing personality kept everyone calm and relaxed and the day went by without any hiccups (at least to our knowledge). She captured the attention of the wedding party with her kindness making it so easy to want to listen to next steps. We were so thankful to have Rachel by our side and we owe her all the credit for a flawless day!

o as soon as our first call! She was on the ball and so professional while being extremely friendly and understanding! I know that some people may think that a wedding coordinator is not worth it, but TRUST ME, if anything you NEED a coordinator for your special day. One of my main worries was that I was going to be so stressed on our wedding day trying to get together last-minute details and make sure everything was set. Rachel took all of those worries away!! I did not have to think about anything other than marrying my best friend and Rachel and her amazing team played a huge role in that! I cannot thank/recommend Slauer events enough. Best. Day. Ever!!

ensuring we were staying on track in the early stages of planning, and then helping to coordinate a reimagined, rescheduled wedding with all 10 of our original vendors. No question/concern is too small and Rachel and the team really helped guide us through every step. Our wedding day went off so smoothly despite Covid, rain, and all the other usual chaos of a wedding, and that is 100% thanks to this team. I am so thankful for them!

ugh different options. She is super detail-oriented, organized, and thorough. Raleigh/NC Triangle couples -- you will not regret choosing Slauer Events & Design!

uld always take notes during our meetings so I didn’t have to worry about missing anything and she would send them to me afterwards to remind me of things I needed to still figure out what I wanted. We had a huge crazy change happen due to COVID where for two months we had no idea what would happen with our wedding. Rachel was always there to help guide me through everything. She made sure we knew our options and told us no matter what she would be there whether on the original day we had planned to get married or a different day. She was a huge blessing. We even ended up pushing back when we were going to decide what to do by to wait for phase two of reopening and from there found out we could have our wedding with less than 100 guests. It all worked out and Rachel made sure we were ready for any situation. The day of she made sure that I was always doing good with everything and I knew I didn’t have to worry about a thing with her. She also insured we stayed on time throughout the whole day! Okay you probably aren’t reading this by now but if you are, message her and hire her right now! You won’t regret it!

pened in April 2020. She has been amazing through the postponement process and she also helped us create our "elopement" for our original wedding date. She is so organized, very detailed in her work, responsive, patient and supportive. During our time together, she has had a child and moved from GA to NC and she did not miss a beat. She has also become a friend and I am going to miss our chats once we have our big wedding day. She has gone above and beyond every expectation. I wish I could give her 100 stars!

ence so pleasant, but are also extremely detailed, organized and truly professional. Rachel is the perfect blend of grace and professionalism and I really cannot wait to work with her again. Her calm demeanor is a great asset when preparing for the wedding, the during the wedding day and pairing with strong logistic skills, she has wonderful qualities as a planner. Rachel was always responsive, prompt and truly a pleasure to partner with!
