Rachel and Emily were great to work with! They were my full-service planners, day-of coordinators, and florists. We had very similar visions - even when I gave them a lot of direction or no direction at all, they took my feedback and it turned out amazing every time. They were easy going, organized, and offered great advice. I often went with any vendors they recommended and they all turned out great. I can't thank them enough for helping relieve the stress of the big day and help with everything from table decor to florals!
The Opal Collective did a wonderful job with the flower arrangements for my wedding! I am not a flower expert and did not give very specific instructions as to what I wanted, but Julia, Emily, and Rachel did a great job of asking questions to figure out my vision. All of the flower arrangements they created had a variety of gorgeous flowers with brilliant colors. The Opal Collective is unique because they offer decor rental in addition to floral arrangements. They had excellent suggestions for decorations, such as including disco balls in the altar decorations. I rented a gorgeous pair of orange velvet chairs for the head table, and they helped me put together my tablescapes. They included candle sticks and holders with the purchase of the flowers, which was a huge help. They made the set-up and take-down process very easy on me, as they brought all the decor and flowers to the venue the night before and the morning of the wedding and picked everything up after the wedding was over. I thought the pricing was very reasonable, and the owners were so sweet and easy to work with. I was so happy I picked the Opal Collective for my wedding flowers and decor!
Rachel and Emily were the absolute definition of over promising and under delivering. Highly advise against hiring their services. Anyone whose behavior has a bride in tears at her reception shouldn't be trusted with your special day!
I seriously cannot rave about these amazing women enough! After our first meeting with the Opal Collective, we knew the search for our wedding coordinators was over. Not only are they the nicest and coolest humans ever, but they went above and beyond our expectations with their talent. Their communication skills and willingness to go with the flow in order to make our vision come to life was unmatched!
We started the planning process with Emily and Rachel and were gifted with a third when they hired Julia, who quickly caught up with all the details in order to help with our big day.
Not only did they help with planning and day of coordination.... they were in charge of Design/Décor AND florals. Let me tell you, to say they absolutely CRUSHED it all is an absolute understatement. Even now, weeks after our wedding, we are still amazed by how lucky we got landing the Opal Collective to help with our big day.
Their attention to detail and making things extra special is extraordinary. For example, they went out of their way to put fresh Lavender in my bouquet to honor my mom's memory, because I mentioned to them that lavender was her favorite. The ease in which they interacted with our family and friends. The way they stayed calm/cool/collected but also managed to keep everything running smoothly according to the schedule was some sort of wizard magic, lol! The ways in which they kept me grounded and made sure I stayed hydrated when they could see I was having a moment of stress. I wish I would have kept a tally score for all of the people who came up to us to compliment these girls specifically. Like yeah I know, we LUCKED out big time with this group.
I could go on and on for days about how obsessed I am with the work these gals do, but I will end with saying one million out of 10 would recommend the Opal Collective to help with your wedding planning needs ANY DAY- EVERY. SINGLE. TIME! Wowzers.
Went above and beyond to help me set up my dream day! They were kind, hard working, and flexible. Would highly recommend them to anyone for rentals, set up/tear down services, or wedding planning.
As much as I wanted to do all my own wedding planning, months out from the day I was so overwhelmed and stressed. I hired Rachel and Emily as planners and day-of coordinators and almost instantly felt relief that I was in good hands. They had many recommendations for important details I hadn't even thought of and were always kind and professional. They helped build a timeline fully customized for how we pictured the day going.
The day of, they oversaw vendors and set-up; transported decor, dresses, and desserts; helped manage food for dietary restricted guests; coordinated the late-night snack delivery and set-up; and went above and beyond to pack up all our things at the end of the night and ensure they made it home with us. Our couple's entrance at the reception didn't go exactly as planned, so they along with our other vendors coordinated a tunnel with our guests later in the night that was a total surprise to us and made for a special memory as well as amazing photos.
I would recommend any couple work with Rachel & Emily! Our day was everything we had hoped in large part thanks to them.
I don't know what I would have done without Rachel and Emily's help on my wedding day! I was so grateful for all of their insight and assistance throughout the entire wedding planning process. They were easy to communicate with and very flexible. They really listened to my ideas and concerns, and made sure our day was exactly what we wanted. They even brought up so many factors I hadn't even thought about and ensured nothing fell through the cracks. As our Day-Of Coordinators, they attended to every detail of our wedding day, decorating our space, keeping us on schedule, and making sure everything came together perfectly. Having Rachel and Emily's help took so much stress of my shoulders. Because of them, I was able be present and enjoy my wedding day!
We had Rachel and Emily as our wedding planners and day-of coordinators. We are so glad we chose to hire them! They took a lot of stress off of us during the planning and especially on our wedding day. They did a great job of communicating with us about what we wanted before the wedding to make sure everyone was on the same page and took action to make sure it happened on the day. It was great to know someone was making sure everything happened on schedule during the wedding and that we didn’t have to stress about it ourselves. I’d definitely recommend them for your wedding!
