Rachel Events

Rachel was the best thing that could have happened to my wedding! She was responsive, creative, organized, and more than anything very fun and easy to talk to. I could email her about anything and she would either take care of it or point me to a great resource. I was not stressed out at all on my wedding day (how many brides can say that?!) and even have a friend who immediately hired Rachel after seeing how smoothly my wedding went. I would absolutely recommend Rachel Events!

Where should I start a review for Rachel at Rachel Events?First, let me tell you that I currently live in Seattle WA but my fiance is from Dallas TX and I am from Louisiana. Our families and most of our friends are there so naturally we wanted to have our wedding at HOME. Problem was that I needed someone that I could trust to take my vision and run with it. I would need someone to be my eyes and ears, someone to pretty much plan EVERYTHING because it just wouldn't be possible for me to fly in from Seattle every time there were flower arrangements that needed to be approved or a cake that needed to be tasted. I found Rachel Events online and called right away. I told her that she would have to be my "go to person" for all things wedding, and she said she could do it! I now know that it must have been destiny or fate...Rachel Events went above and beyond for us, and they were worth every single penny! Rachel Events was the very first vendor we booked; Rachel and the Rachel Events team were the most amazing source of information and support. The consistent positive attitude, passion and excitement were infectious. Rachel made the wedding planning experience enjoyable. Her attention to detail and wealth of knowledge is invaluable with suggestions of themes, colors, decor, food, and even attire. Rachel not only listened to my ideas, she also heard me. Rachel and her team managed to take my thoughts and create a beautifully designed (and impeccably styled) event. My wedding was more beautiful and enjoyable than I had ever dreamed of, and it is all because of the dedication and hard work of Rachel Events. They are committed, talented, and made sure that every single aspect of our wedding weekend ran smoothly and perfectly. Guests are still talking about how beautiful and amazing the entire event was. I feel so lucky to have found Rachel Events and to have worked with them. Thank you Rachel Events!

We hired Rachel for her day of coordination services, which is really much more like a month of coordination package. She was absolutely INVALUABLE for me as a bride planning from out of town; the majority of our vendors were booked through her recommendations and all of her vendors were wonderful! Rachel was always upbeat, excited, and I truly believe that kind of positive energy around you is exactly what a bride needs on your wedding day. She kept the entire day running smoothly and my new husband and I are still in awe of our wedding day and how much we and our guests enjoyed it. With her handling any problems that arose, we were free to enjoy the moment. We even had a friend of the family comment that, "I don't know what you paid her, but she was worth every penny!"Bottom line: no matter what your wedding vision is, Rachel can and will make it happen. She is hands down some of the best wedding money we spent and I would do it again in a heartbeat. She's awesome!

Very organized and keeps the reception running VERY smoothly!

Rachel of Rachel Events was the first and only wedding planner that we met with. As we drove home from that meeting, my (then) Fiance said we didnt need to meet with anyone else. Rachel "got" us. She not only understood the unique and different wedding we envisioned, she embraced it. She constantly had out of the box ideas and suggestions, and was able to make them work. Turn around time for questions I had was never longer than a day or two, and almost always was just a few hours. Numerous friends mentioned how smoothly and wonderful the day went by, and how well-organized everything seemed. I can tell you, it didnt just "seem" that way, it WAS that way. Rachel kept our rogue groomsmen on time and in line, and I never worried or stressed about whether or not the DJ would be late or if the flowers would arrive on time. Bottom line: Worth every penny. I would hire Rachel again, with no regrets.

Rachel provided a customized day-of-coordination package including bride and bridesmaid hair, and made sure that all the details I had planned and negotiated with my vendors came to fruition as I expected. As we got close to the big day, Rachel proved her real worth with invaluable guidance in my final detailing meeting with my venue and caterer, and expert handling of the family and wedding party at the rehearsal. She didn't even blink at the complex web of exes and in-laws, or the special handling needs they posed. On the day itself, it was Rachel who kept me calm as she also did mine and my 3 daughters' hair. I am a major control freak, and I was able to relax far more than I ever imagined - I had two tense moments, once when I saw lemons (I had ordered limes) being placed in the water glasses and once when I thought my 17 year old would never be happy with her hair. Rachel managed both of these situations firmly and confidently, allowing me to fully enjoy the beautiful day with my new husband!

The first time we met with Rachel we knew she was the wedding planner we had been searching for...She immediately starting talking about our wedding and throwing ideas out before we had even officially hired her!! We had no idea of what we wanted in a wedding and Rachel stepped right into the planning process with us. Rachel is incredibly creative and talented in what she does and has no shortage of awesome vendor recommendations!When our wedding day arrived Rachel and her team were there by my side when I needed them and trust me when I say she is there for the bride and groom! She is so sensitive to your needs and makes things happen!! What more could you want in a wedding planner?? It was such a beautiful day and we have Rachel to thank for it.

Rachel made my wedding day a breeze and any questions or problems that came up she was very quick and responsive on a solution. She is AMAZING!!!!!

Hands down, Rachel is amazing! I could not have asked for someone better to help us out with our special day! Rachel Events has my vote and my recommendation anytime. Thanks Rachel!

Rachel was a perfect day-of planner for my wedding. She helped with preparations many months before the event and was very knowledgable. On the day of the event I was not worried at all and didn't even bring any of my vendors phone numbers as I entrusted her to handle everything. Everything ran VERY smoothly and when hiccups arouse she was on top of it. Our transportation for the wedding party from the church to the reception broke down, but the event was not affected at all. Rachel worked with the company to get another bus there asap and arrived right in time. The bus company did not charge me anything for the event either! I had many comments from friends and family that the wedding ran better than any other wedding than they had been to. Also, another great thing about Rachel was her personality. I knew I wanted a planner that was going to be fun and laid back, but also get the job done. She was just that. All of the wedding party thought that she was a lot of fun. Rachel was able to get everybody to do what they needed to do without coming off as snippy or demanding. Rachel also helped give me advice on how to handle some akward dilemas that came up with people in my wedding party. Her advice worked wonderfully! I would definitely recommend Rachel to anyone who is looking for someone to help take away all of the stress on the wedding day. It was the best money that we spent out of the whole wedding!

Our wedding was so much fun and we have to thank Rachel for making our reception run so smoothly! Rachel is very organized, punctual and fun! I would recommend her to any bride that is wanting to have an exciting and unforgettable reception!!

Rachel is the best!! She has a creative touch that really helps you plan the perfect wedding! She has a great eye for what will make your wedding fabulous and she will help you with absolutely any detail you're unsure about. But most importantly, she will make sure that your big day runs smoothly and you won't have to worry about a thing so you can relax and enjoy your big day!

Rachel was great! She was extremely helpful with the decorating and planning and she is VERY organized. Everything went so smoothly that my mom and I didn't have to worry about a thing. I will definitely recommend her to my friends!

Rachel ? you are a Rockstar and I appreciate all the help along the way! Everyone we have talked to (I mean everyone) said that our wedding was one of the best weddings they have ever been to and that every detail was perfect!!! I thought we were just going to have a ?Day of? Coordinator but you were SO much more and worth every little penny! You truly found your calling as a fabulous wedding coordinator! Thank you for an amazing night that I will remember forever! MWAH! Chelsea Scheel**Testimonial from the Mother of the Bride:We would highly recommend Rachel Events to anyone planning a wedding. Rachel?s help made all the difference in the world. We were on a budget and it was the best money spent---trust me. She called our attention to details we never knew existed, and she walked us through every step of the planning process. She was always upbeat and friendly; she genuinely wanted my daughter to have the best day ever. From the first time we met with Rachel, we knew we were in good hands and my daughter and I didn't just get a wedding coordinator we made a new friend. Susan Douglas

Before Chad and I even got engaged, we had begun to plan our wedding. We had a clear vision of what we wanted....from the theme, color and overall feel of our special day, down to the personalized save the date cards I made myself. As we began the process of organizing our wedding day's events, it became clear that regardless of our organized personalities, we couldn't tackle this wedding alone. Enter Mrs. Rachel Phillips of Rachel Events. What a lifesaver! From the very first meeting she quickly understood what we wanted our wedding day to be about. We wanted everything to be as personal as possible...and she seemed excited about the task at hand. She reigned in our scattered vision....and helped us to create a unified and simply AMAZING day... She attended vendor meetings with us...kept in constant contact to ensure tasks were being crossed off our list...and quickly became not only a wedding planner...but a very dear friend. Our wedding day went as smoothly as we couldve ever hoped for...and I couldn't thank Rachel enough for a wonderful, wonderful day! HIGHLY Recommended!Yvette & Chad Kelley

Rachel Phillips is the BEST wedding coordinator!!!! She has amazing style and is extremely creative! I was so happy with how our wedding turned out and I owe it all to her! Not only is she budget conscious, organized and efficient, she ensures that your day is exactly what you envision! :)

Ah, what to say about Rachel. She is just wonderful. She gave me and my husband a wonderful, beautiful wedding on a very tight budget. Rachel thought of things I never would have and gave me the most wonderful day of my life with little stress. She was there every step telling me what to do because I had NO idea what I was doing! She calmed me down when I cried over the wedding and fixed anything that went wrong. She made me laugh just about every time I talked to her. She is a wonderful person, an absolutely fabulous wedding planner and I would and will recommend her to anyone getting married. There is so much more I could say about her but I would suggest finding out yourself and giving her a call!!Much Love!!Husband and WifeKevin and Tiffany =D

Rachel is wonderful! She is creative and came up with excellent ways to make my wedding fabulous and still stay on budget. She kept me very organized and communicated with me through the entire process to make sure everything was going smoothly and to take as much off of my load as possible. She also solved problems that arose quickly and helped to alleviate my stress. I would highly recommend Rachel to anyone wanting an innovative and creative wedding coordinator.

I would like to praise Rachel Events. She is an amazing wedding planner. It almost seems the title is an understatement. I had the privilege to work with her to plan my wedding, and I'm so happy that I chose Rachel. Rachel took all of the stress off of me. I NEVER worried about a thing because I knew that she would handle everything with poise and class. The best thing I did was trust Rachel to make our day so memorable. The end product... It was truly a magical day, from the rose petal aisle to the farewell of my guests. In conclusion, Rachel is truly a dream maker. Ashley Meacham

Rachel was amazing to work with. She is young, vibrant, detail oriented, sharp, fun, diligent, and motivated. I booked her because I knew there was no way I could handle the day of the rehearsal and the day of the wedding on my own. Little did I know she was going to be needed for a lot more. After finding out a month before the wedding that my wedding cake vendor went out of business 3 months after we booked them...I had to scramble to find a bakery. Rachel was there every step of the way. She helped calm any fears I had...she was always available for any questions I had. I feel she is WAY underpriced for the services she gave. Two thumbs up for sure!!
