The one thing that makes Rachel different than most wedding planners is that she puts her entire heart into the wedding process with you and is invested in your special day like it... was her very own. She truly cares about every aspect and is so attentive to you and your needs. You feel like your wedding is her first. She is not jaded with being in the field for such a long time and is such a precious romantic. I loved when she would say, “Ah, I have goosebumps!”
She was my confidant throughout the wedding process and was such a professional. She has an extremely calm spirit/demeanor about her. She was always able to soothe me and would say, “Remember, I got you.” I appreciated and valued her assertive voice. I can be soft spoken and she made sure my voice was heard. She was the perfect complement to me. The day of the wedding I completely trusted her to handle everything and that’s hard for me because I like to be in control. She made sure the timeline was followed and kept everyone on track (vendors, guests, etc.). She knows how to run a show!
I went to her for certain advice about my wedding like which bridal portrait she liked the most, her opinion on the veil, bustle, bolero, decorations, etc. Just everything. I can’t express how helpful and loving she was from day 1 all the way to the wedding day. She talked us through how cut the wedding cake when we were cutting it at the wedding. Anytime I needed help with anything, all I had to do was look over my shoulder and she was right there with a smile eager to do whatever she could. She walked behind me and my Dad before the church doors opened and told me to pause and take it all in. When I look through the wedding photos, I smile when I see her in the background of my photos.
Being a wedding planner isn’t just a job to her. It is her love and passion. She’s so intentional with everything, and I just feel so blessed and lucky to have had her.
We went with every single vendor she recommended and absolutely loved them! She truly takes the time to get to know you.
She recorded our wedding dance, took photos during the ceremony and reception (e.g., detail photos of the decor and flowers in the chapel, photos of me and my husband), and during my bridal portrait she also took photos of me.
She was my #1 cheerleader throughout the entire process and helped my husband’s and my wedding dreams come true!!! The cost of her services is worth more than gold! She has such a reasonable price for her services and she just takes so much stress off of you so you can do what you’re supposed to do on your wedding day, focus solely on getting married to your husband and have the day just be about the two of you and your love!
My relationship with Rachel started as a stranger who was my wedding planner and ended as a dear friend. However, I hope to always stay in contact with Rachel so our relationship didn’t end after my wedding day!
Best,
Karah and Sam
