"Rachael and her team brought our vision to life and then some. She is professional, wildly organized and on top of it, friendly, caring, creative, and open to any and all ideas. She helped us turn all of our fun ideas and inspo in to an amazing, unique wedding that wowed all of our guests."

“From the planning to the execution, Rachael was everything we could have wished for on our big day. Her attention to detail and can-do attitude were just a few of the reasons why we would pick Rachael again if we had to do it all over."
The Wagners

"From the beginning, Rachael was not just a wedding planner. She was a steady hand, a creative partner, and at times, a much-needed calm in the whirlwind that wedding planning can sometimes be. Any time we were going through anxiety or stress about arrangements, we would text Rachael, and she would listen, and give us the answer right then and there. That’s a true testament to Rachael’s approach—she listens, she truly cares, and she treats your family’s big day as if it were her own."

"Rachael was absolutely amazing. She did above and beyond what we could have asked of her the day of the wedding, and leading up to it. She was there for us as a day-of coordinator, and my biggest regret with that was not hiring her as our full on planner because she was so helpful. She's super organized, friendly, and ALL about her couple. I felt comfortable from the beginning with her, almost like we were friends who had known each other for a long time. I knew she would make sure things were how my husband and I wanted, and that is exactly the kind of girl you need in your corner who isn't family or bridal party on your wedding day and before. I would recommend her to anybody. Rachael, thank you! 100/10. You are such a GEM!"

"Rachael from Rae & Co. Weddings amazed me. Right from the start, I noticed her level of organization and dedication. I only wish more planners has her level of expertise, passion and warmth which ultimately sets the tone for a successful event."

"Rachael was everywhere and invisible at the same time—making things happen without ever being in the way. Family members in the wedding were also blown away, and our guests hardly knew she was there (yes, they commented to us about it). Every detail was handled so thoughtfully, and we were free to just enjoy the day without checking the time or wondering what came next. That kind of behind-the-scenes coordination only happens when someone truly knows what they’re doing, and Rachael absolutely does. And the best part? She did it all with kindness, humor, and genuine joy. Rachael clearly loves what she does, and that love shines through in every interaction, every timeline, every flower arrangement double-checked. I never once worried that something would fall through the cracks, and more importantly, my daughter never had to either."

"I am so impressed with Rachael’s ability to make everything feel effortless. Planning a wedding involves countless moving parts, and Rachael kept every single one running like clockwork—from managing vendors and timelines to gently guiding us through decision after decision with kindness and patience. She had a thoughtful answer for every question and a solution for every concern. We never felt like we were bothering her, and she always made time to check in and make sure we were feeling good about each step."

Frequently Asked Questions
-
I’m a planner who cares just as much about how you feel throughout this process as I do about how your wedding day runs. I bring a calm, incredibly organized, Type A approach to every detail, but I’ll never force you into a rigid system. Every conversation starts with understanding what matters most to you so I can build a plan that fits your personality and priorities. No two weddings are identical, so the planning process isn’t either - you won’t find cookie-cutter experiences with Rae & Co., just thoughtful guidance, expert support, and a wedding day that feels like you.
-
I use a phased process that takes you from inquiry to wedding day without ever feeling lost or behind. Every step is organized, documented, and intentionally timed; from vendor research and design direction to logistics, timelines, and final walkthroughs. I break the big decisions into manageable pieces, keep communication streamlined, and make sure nothing slips through the cracks. It’s structure with flexibility, but tailored to your wedding, your schedule, and your priorities.
-
As involved as you want to be! Some couples love being hands-on, others prefer to delegate almost everything, and most fall somewhere in between. My job is to keep you informed, on track, and confident without ever overwhelming you. You’ll always know what’s coming up, what decisions are needed, and what I’m taking care of behind the scenes, so that planning feels effortless instead of stressful.
-
I recommend vendors based on your vision, budget, personality, and the experience you want to create for your guests. You’ll never get a generic list. I curate 2-3 trusted options in each category, then I handle outreach, availability, proposals, and contract questions so you don’t have to. Every vendor I bring to you is someone I trust to deliver excellence and work seamlessly as a team to bring your wedding day to life.
-
Absolutely. The tiny details are where I thrive. From timelines, logistics, and transportation flow to rain plans, floor plans, setup logistics, processional order, candle placement, packing lists, emergency kits, and everything you haven’t thought of yet, I handle it. My job is to anticipate what you’ll need before you need it and make sure every loose end is tied up. My number one priority is that you feel calm and taken care of going into your big day, knowing nothing has been missed.
-
That’s completely normal, and honestly, that’s where I shine. Most couples don’t show up with a fully formed vision, they come with a few ideas and a feeling they want to create. I help clarify that feeling, refine your style, and a build a cohesive design that reflects your love story and what matters most to you. Whether you have everything except the vendors or zero direction at all, I’ll guide you toward a day that feels authentic to you.
