I truly cannot thank Taylor enough for making our wedding day so special, breathtaking, and flawlessly seamless. From start to finish, she handled every detail with such care, professionalism, and expertise that we were able to simply enjoy the moment, knowing everything was in the best hands.
To be completely honest, I was extremely skeptical about hiring a wedding planner. I had heard countless horror stories and had even experienced one myself with our first planner, who unfortunately was more focused on telling us what we wanted to hear rather than actually delivering. Letting that planner go was one of the best decisions we made—because it led us to Taylor. My wife and I interviewed several planners after that experience, but none truly stood out. That all changed the moment we spoke to Taylor. She was direct, honest, and didn’t sugarcoat anything—exactly what we needed. We hired her immediately, and from that point on, she proved time and time again that she was the perfect choice.
From day one, Taylor took her job incredibly seriously. She got to know us, understood our style, and respected our budget without compromising on quality. She created a detailed timeline—and she stuck to it with military precision. She sourced all of our vendors, did all the legwork, and only presented us with options that truly fit our style, personalities, and budget. Even when I gave her a hard time, she remained patient and professional, always ensuring we stayed on track.
Beyond her impeccable planning and organization skills, Taylor became our rock. Wedding planning can be stressful, and she was there every step of the way, not just as a planner but as a calming presence—our unofficial therapist at times! She ensured all vendors worked around our hectic schedules and seamlessly handled any hiccups that came up.
Taylor’s attention to detail is unmatched. She genuinely cares about her clients and goes above and beyond to make sure everything is perfect. There were times when we met with vendors, and afterward, Taylor would tell us, "I don’t think they’re the right fit for you." She was always right. She instinctively knew what we would choose but still gave us multiple options, guiding us while respecting our choices.
When our wedding day arrived, Taylor had everything locked down, running the event in perfectly timed increments. There were a few small hiccups (because, let’s be real, no wedding is completely without them), but Taylor handled them so smoothly that we never even noticed. She absorbed any stress before it could reach us, ensuring we could be fully present and enjoy our day.
Perhaps the most telling thing? My family, who have never believed in wedding planners and have always been against hiring one, had nothing but amazing things to say about Taylor. They saw firsthand how she was everywhere at once, making sure everything ran perfectly. That alone speaks volumes.
Taylor, from the bottom of our hearts, thank you. Thank you for making one of the most important days of our lives absolutely seamless. Thank you for introducing us to incredible vendors, handling every challenge with grace, and working so well with both of us to bring our dream wedding to life.
To anyone reading this—if you’re getting married and want a stress-free, beautifully executed wedding within your budget, do not waste time interviewing anyone else. Hiring Taylor Rae Weddings will be the best decision you make. She is worth every penny and then some because she truly knows what she’s doing and tells it like it is. She doesn’t sugarcoat, she delivers. Trust her, let her work her magic, and you will have the wedding of your dreams.
10/10, best decision ever.

Taylor was our wedding planner (and so much more) for our wedding this past May, and we couldn't recommend her enough. We had initially sought to only have a month of coordinator, but after speaking with Taylor during our initial consultation, we quickly learned how in over our heads we were. But thankfully Taylor was an absolute all-star, from not only designing the wedding venue to be absolutely breathtaking, but also orchestrating our wedding to be exactly what we had envisioned. She continuously went above a beyond for us to make sure the day was perfect.
On the day of the wedding, despite waking up to pouring rain, we were completely at ease because we knew Taylor would have a back up plan and a back up plan to that plan. She ensured that every moment flowed seamlessly, allowing us to relax and enjoy every moment. Our guests were in awe of the incredible attention to detail and the warm, inviting atmosphere Taylor created.
Thanks to Taylor, she truly went above and beyond to make our day was everything we had hoped for and more, including making sure she grabbed us each a slice of our wedding cake and placed it on the shuttle for us (spoon included!) since she noticed we didn't get a chance to eat it during the reception. That's just one of many examples of Taylor's dedication and thoughtfulness throughout the entire planning journey. So all that said, if you're searching for a wedding planner who you can place your complete faith and trust in to plan your wedding, and who will also go the extra mile to make sure your wedding day goes off flawlessly, then seriously look no further. She is simply the best there is.

It was one month before my May 2024 wedding and I cried for the first time in the eight months I had spent planning my wedding. I desperately reached out to wedding planners with high ratings in my area to see if any of them had availability for month before and day of planning/coordination. Taylor was the first to respond and she told me upfront that she was booked for my wedding date but that she would ask around her contacts to give me referrals. She asked questions about my wedding vision and hopes to make sure she found me a good match. Her calm, empathetic responses immediately stopped my tears. One of my text messages during that first conversation: "Thank you so much. This conversation has given me so much hope and helped me stop crying. Even if it doesn't work out, I am truly so thankful for you."
How lucky was I that Taylor then extended the offer to help with my wedding for the next month and hire a trusted day-of coordinator to be there the day of my wedding - the amazing Katelyn?? The very next week I met with Taylor and Katelyn at Limantour Beach in Point Reyes to discuss the logistics.
There are no words I can use to express just how amazing Taylor is. She anticipated all my concerns and logistical questions before I could even have the time to express them. And even better, she anticipated all the concerns that I wouldn't have ever come up with on my own and presented practical solutions that worked with my vision and budget!
But Taylor's most amazing skill was her ability to calmly and easily set aside any fears and insecurities I had about whether my requests and thoughts were unreasonable or that I was too demanding. No questions asked, she advocated for me when I was too scared to advocate for myself.
My wedding was everything I dreamed of and hoped for and more because of Taylor. Hire Taylor - you will not regret it. She is worth every penny!

Booking Taylor as our wedding planner was probably the smartest choice we made during our entire planning process. Taylor made everything go so smoothly, and it was amazing to see her pull all of the elements together from all the different vendors into our vision for our wedding day. Taylor was truly running (and I literally mean running) behind the scene to make it all happen, sometimes putting out fires before we even knew what was going on. We didn’t know until after the wedding day that we had an issue with one of our printers not sending our menus and placards to us in time, and she was at Fedex the morning of the wedding reprinting these items - fire, solved. We couldn’t even tell! Thank you so much Taylor, there's no way we could have done it without you!

We can't say enough great things about Taylor! We hired her for coordination services to come in about 6 weeks before to help us tie all loose ends together. She not only did that, but went above and beyond to ensure we had a special and successful wedding day. We had already planned a lot of the day ourselves, but she ensured we went through every detail so that nothing was overlooked. Everyone involved with our wedding, including our family and guests were so impressed with her professionalism and organization. Our wedding quite literally wouldn't have happened without her. We found out just 10m before that our officiant wasn't on site, and she graciously stepped in to officiate our ceremony, which ended up being even more special to us. Her bubbly, warm personality and care for others made our experience with Taylor incredible and I couldn't recommend her enough!

Taylor was a wonderful person to work with for our month of wedding coordinator at the Conservatory of Flowers. She navigated everything with ease and attention to detail, coordinating with vendors, contracts, guests, and us. I was grateful to have her organization and experience leading up to things, and her easy going personality when we started to feel the pressure. Working with her was one of the best decisions you will make.

Taylor is an outstanding wedding planner whom I cannot recommend highly enough. She is adept at navigating the interpersonal conflicts and nuances that come with wedding planning as well as making sure every detail is handled. Even if you think you know how to plan events, your wedding is different because it’s emotional and having a planner like Taylor take care of the details matters. She went above and beyond in suggesting things to make our day great, found a hair/makeup person at the last minute, came up with a unique gift idea for guests, and found a florist to do a pick-up floral order when our original florist contract fell through. When a family member got COVID and couldn’t attend, she used a cell phone to FaceTime them into the ceremony and toasts. Additionally, we only had 6 months to plan our wedding and she did a great job. I also liked that she is not part of a giant agency and that I could work with her from start to finish and she didn’t hand off the day-of coordination to someone else. On the day of, I actually had time to relax because I knew all the details were handled by Taylor.

Our wedding wouldn't have happened without Taylor! We came to her four months before the wedding having already planned a lot ourselves, but we were starting to feel overwhelmed by all the small things that were piling up. Taylor wasn't going to be in town on the day of our wedding, but she offered to give us a custom package that picked up where we left off and could pass off duties to a day-of coordinator later. Thanks to Taylor, we got to have the day we dreamed of. She was extremely professional and kind, even with a demanding summer wedding schedule. We are happy we hired her and even happier to call her our friend!

My (now) husband and I decided in early 2021 to pull the trigger to hold our wedding in May, 2022, despite the pandemic uncertainties still at play at the time.
We had a good idea of the broad outlines of the wedding we wanted, but no clue how to put the pieces together. Adding to the difficulty of planning was the fact we are both busy professionals. We also felt it would be very difficult to fully enjoy ourselves at our own wedding if we had responsibility for the overwhelming details that play out the day you are married. Our venue - probably sensing how out of our depth we were - recommended Taylor to us. We are so thankful they did!
Taylor is an absolutely wonderful person, and she brings her warmth to her work. When you want to dream a bit she goes along for the ride. However, she also always has clear, practical ideas - stated in a supportive way - to help you realize your goals in the most time- and cost-efficient basis possible.
She is organized, clearly communicating her responsibilities and those that were our responsibility. She maintains a running timeline and tracks expenses. She is friendly. And she follows through.
Also, she maintains great relationships with terrific, enthusiastic and skilled vendors with whom we loved collaborating - don't underestimate how many impatient, disorganized, or arrogant planners burn through the best vendors. Great vendors heighten and deepen the event and reduce the risk of mistakes and missteps.
Finally, we did not have to worry about a single thing on the weekend of our wedding. Taylor kept track of all the details and kept us to our timeline. It was a huge relief to know we could enjoy ourselves and rely on her to manage the weekend. This added so much to making our wedding so special.
I wholeheartedly recommend Taylor. There are a lot of things to worry about as your wedding planning takes shape. Her commitment to making the process as easy, and the wedding as special, as possible is not one of those things.

You will not find a better planner to have on your side for the big day. Taylor is simply the best! Very collaborative, organized and pragmatic in her approach to planning. She did a great job setting expectations with each aspect of the wedding and helped us prioritize and stay on top of deadlines to make sure all the pieces were in place. I work for a wedding venue and have seen her in action at several other events. Consummate professional and an excellent human. My wife and I are overjoyed with her service and are elated that we have a new friend! Taylor you’re invited to our anniversary party!!

Taylor is seriously a superhero. I could not recommend her more!
Early on in the planning process, I was adamant that I could do everything on my own without hiring our own planner. As we got closer to the date, I realized I needed help. We found Taylor as a month of coordinator and could not be more grateful for her. She is very proactive, knowledgeable, level-headed and truly felt like talking to a friend. If she said she was going to do something, I could trust that it would get done.
A month before our wedding, the in-house coordinator at our venue went MIA and Taylor was an absolute rockstar making sure everything was in line. She seriously did their jobs for them, and I don’t even want to think about what would have happened if we didn’t have her. The wedding day went perfectly and so many guests commented on how well-executed everything was and how well the day flowed. All because of Taylor! I am sad that the wedding is over because I don’t get to talk with Taylor on a daily basis anymore. She is the BEST and we couldn't recommend her more!

My husband and I are so fortunate to have worked with Taylor for our special day! From start to finish, Taylor was extremely communicative, responsive, and anticipated our needs for our wedding reception. We truly appreciate how detail-oriented, attentive, and organized Taylor was throughout the planning process, and Taylor helped us figure things out that we didn't even think about! I'm not sure what we would have done without Taylor by our side for our big day, but thankfully we were able to work with her, and our reception was a hit! Our guests and wedding party had an absolute blast, and Taylor did a phenomenal job in communicating with our vendors and making sure that all of the details were perfect for our reception. In addition, Taylor was such a calming presence during our wedding, and she was very in tuned with the needs of both myself and my husband. She was even kind enough to make sure we had food to eat and that we were able to try our signature drinks from the wedding! Many times I hear from other brides and grooms that they weren't able to eat the desserts or try the beverages from their weddings, but we're extremely glad that Taylor was attentive and made sure we also had a moment to take some time to ourselves. If you're looking to hire a wedding coordinator who is kind, smart, organized, creative, and detail-oriented, look no further! You will not be disappointed! Thank you, Taylor, for everything!

Taylor was amazing to work with! We had such a great experience planning our wedding with her. My partner and I came up with this crazy idea of having a surprise wedding with only 2 months to plan. Taylor was on top of everything, made sure we stuck to our budget, & made the whole wedding planning process run smooth. Excellent communication and super attentive through and through. We absolutely recommend Taylor without hesitation! Thank you so much Taylor!

Look no further- Taylor is Absolutely who you want and need for the wedding of your dreams ! Im a grateful Mother of the Bride and lucky and blessed to have had her highly recommended to me and my daughter. I initially hired her for the "hourly consulting" which was very convenient but soon realized we wanted her for the "Full planning pkg" as we had less than 2 months to plan! Not only did she have years of experience, its her passion , and she really listens to the couple ( and as a Mom was very helpful) to smoothly implement their dream day. She has many connections with Vendors to stay within the budget, and on the Wedding Day it was perfect - she ran things so smoothly, gracefully and kind/helpful not only to the couple but also family members/friends attending. We would hire her again in a heartbeat! ..Thank you so much Taylor:)

Taylor was such a wonderful, professional and friendly wedding planner to work with. With such a short amount of time my husband and I were wanting to plan our wedding (less than 2 months!), Taylor was very organized and well prepared for all of the "to do" items for our wedding. My husband and I were initially worried we wouldn't be able to lock in all of the vendors within our budget with the given time frame, but Taylor was fantastic at researching and locking in the best fit. She knew the right questions to ask my husband and I about our wedding day vision and was able to execute beautifully. My husband and I would recommend Taylor to anyone trying to plan a wedding (especially the full planning service we went with), she made the wedding planning a breeze from start to finish so my husband and I could just focus on the big day and honeymoon!

We worked with Taylor for our wedding at the City Club of SF. After the venue changed our coordinator twice, we were eventually paired with Taylor, thank goodness! Taylor is very good at her job, and so on top of things. She is kind, flexible, and knew her stuff right from the get-go. She went above and beyond to help us with details we hadn't considered. She was a great stress relief in the last months leading up to our wedding. Thank you, Taylor!

I've had the immense pleasure of working with Taylor first hand on weddings at The City Club of San Francisco. Her attention to detail, effective communication, and insight always left her brides (+ grooms) feeling at ease throughout the wedding planning process. Her creativity, vision, + can-do attitude truly creates an unparalleled experience. On-site Taylor always gets the job done no matter how tedious or challenging the task. She always keeps the day running smooth so her couples and their guests can focus on enjoying the party! I highly recommend Taylor as your wedding planner!!
