Weddings & Events by Raina

nated with our DJ, florist, and hotel staff. Raina's meticulous attention to detail and foresight ensured that she took care of every aspect, even things we hadn't thought of. Our wedding day was flawless and unforgettable, thanks to Raina's exceptional planning skills. Highly recommended!

this without her! Every detail was attended to, and I was able to focus on enjoying our daughter's wedding day without one worry. We live in Texas, and the wedding was three states away in Tennessee. During the months and weeks leading up to the wedding, Raina helped me to navigate planning from long distance, connecting us to the best vendors and helping us to create the wedding our daughter and her (now) husband dreamed of. The day of the wedding, every last detail was planned to the minute, giving us all peace of mind that everything was in place so we were able to enjoy the most perfect day. My advice to anyone planning a wedding: hire a wedding coordinator! My biggest advice to anyone planning a wedding in the Nashville area...HIRE RAINA VAN SETTER, WEDDINGS AND EVENTS BY RAINA (unless we decide to kidnap her and bring her to Texas)! You will be so happy you did!

d knowledgeable I felt I could ask her any question and get the answer or she would find it out for me.

n. She kept us on schedule which is extremely important! Raina’s vendor recommendations were so helpful and she has a great working relationship with all of them! She is incredibly timely with her responses to texts, emails, and phone calls and she is extremely organized! I’m not sure when she sleeps! Her “Day of Wedding” service is so much more than day of. Additionally, Raina’s staff was amazing. There will always be little things that happen on the wedding day, but if you hire Raina, that’s all they will be…just little things that no one even notices. Raina allowed me and my family to just sit back and enjoy the most beautiful day with our daughter, her new husband and all of our family and friends. Those are memories that last forever! So if this is what you are looking for…Raina is your person!

ped hook me up with vendors that would create the vision that I desired. Every vendor she recommended was a dream, too! Other than being available almost any time of day, Raina was a wealth of knowledge and the team that she brought along on the day of the wedding were amazing, too. I didn’t have to worry about a single thing on the morning – Raina handled all the vendors, setting out last minute décor, helping the gentleman pin their boutonnieres, helped me with my dress, and so much more. Anita even held my hand when I was nervous during the ceremony line up. Literally, all I had to worry about was looking nice and enjoying the morning with my family and friends. Whether you hire Raina and her team on just a day of basis or for a more, in depth wedding planning, I’m positive you can’t go wrong with her and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her services to future brides to be!

go-to problem solver from our first call all the way through the wedding. She established contacts with all vendors and key members of the wedding party. She developed an impressive, detailed schedule for vendors, which helped make the wedding day go so smoothly. She also calmed us down anytime we had an issue arise. We immediately felt relief having her in charge of the team. She was professional, prepared, organized, and caring during every interaction. Our vendors complimented her repeatedly. She also had excellent contacts for last-minute needs and was able to facilitate that for us, including limo service and calligraphy services. Raina and her team ran the wedding perfectly - in charge but never rude to the wedding party or the vendors. She came with a contingency plan and emergency kit to make sure we had everything we needed. Our wedding would not have been a success without Raina and her lovely team. We developed a connection with her and would work with her again for any special events. In addition, it was so important to us to find someone who recognizes that love is love. Raina's site made it clear that she does not discriminate and all clients are welcome. That was especially comforting to us, since it is not always the case in the South. We would highly recommend Raina for a wedding or any event. Our only regret is that we didn't bring her in sooner. Thank you Raina for truly being a miracle worker - you are the best!

day and made sure our vision was brought to life. I recommend Raina and her team for any event! Her attention to detail is top tier, and I couldn’t be happier. Thanks for making sure we had the perfect wedding, Raina!!

at our wedding would not have been 1/10th as perfect without her help. She was extremely available and communicative, had great connections and communication with all our vendors, and did every single thing we asked of her and more. And she's just a generally nice person (but not afraid to take charge and get things done!) which is always a plus. You cannot go wrong with her at the head of your vendor team.

work with her on the wedding day to make sure that if anything goes wrong you never know about it. She truly made out day perfect! Hiring Raina and her fabulous team was the best decision we could have made. She was worth every penny. In fact, we would have paid so much more just to get her level of knowledge, her sense of calm (nothing is EVER a problem because she always has it handled) and her level of skill/experience. She was even able to step in when our officiant was a no-show!! VERY highly recommended!

y, it was the most fun wedding we've ever been to!

an absolute delight to work with!! Her creativity, skill & professionalism gave me the gift of a beautiful, stress free, wonderful wedding experience! I highly recommend her!!

lable for any questions big or small and was there both as a support and a source of guidance through the whole wedding planning experience. Can not recommend her enough!

!! Thank you so much Raina!!!

tual, and always gave us such a sense of relief. Like having a comfy blanket you can always rely on during a cold winter's day. Lastly, while she was delightfully within our budget, her value was SO much greater than we imagined. Thank you, Raina, for making our special day all the more special, and executed without a hitch!

ers questions that I haven’t thought of. She was always available when I needed her. Weddings & Events by Raina is the best wedding planner in Middle Tennessee!

are her team members that worked the wedding. I noticed how helpful they all were to all my guests which was very important to me! During the process of planning we had multiple meetings that eased our minds and she always paid for our coffee when we would meet at the red bicycle!! I can’t express this enough! We love Weddings and Events by Raina team!

ake the time to get to know you as more than just a bride but as person too. She truly has a talent for making dream weddings become a reality.

ake sure everything was perfect for the wedding day. When my train detached because one of my bridesmaids accidentally stepped on it, I cried and cried. Raina not only fixed it, she was able to make sure my train stayed intact for the entire photo session. Anything that can go wrong will go wrong in a wedding, and when it does, you WANT Raina by your side! She is wonderful, unflappable, professional, and simply priceless!

and guidance!
