Hi! I'm Rachael and I am SO happy you've found yourself wanting to know a little more about myself and the company. I was born and raised in Dayton, Ohio and currently reside in Kettering. I am married to my wonderful husband Matthew, and we have two beautiful children - Adeline (6) and Hayden (2). We love to spend time together traveling, going to the drive-in, or playing board games. Naturally, I love hosting family and friends regularly and love throwing a great get together. When I'm not working or chasing kids around I like to binge watch F.R.I.E.N.D.S and sip on a glass of wine or a big thing of milk and cookies.

In three words: Efficient, Organized, Positive

    Rachael was the perfect wedding planner for our special day. From the moment we booked her, she was friendly, prompt, and incredibly considerate in all of our communications. Her attention to detail and efficient, cooperative approach ensured our wedding went off without a hitch. Rachael assisted my mom in perfectly setting up the entire venue to match our vision, and she shielded my husband and I from any potential stressors on our wedding day. As someone who has known Rachael for years, I knew she would be the ideal wedding planner even before we got engaged. She is truly an amazing person and friend, and I would highly recommend Happily Ever Events to any couple planning their dream wedding.

    My wife insisted on hiring an event planner for our 5-Year Anniversary Celebration. Being the naive cheapskate I am, I thought we could plan everything ourselves and was hesitant to book Rachael. As is *usually* the case, my wife was right and we were both SO HAPPY we hired her! Rachael was extremely flexible with days/times to meet with us. Neither my wife or I really had a specific vision for how our day would look, but Rachael helped guide us every step of the way. She helped us stay organized and plan everything to a T. She has a preferred list of vendors that made it really easy to know who to contact for various services. She was on top of every appointment/check-point/payment due date. On the day of, she was extremely hands-on. We were able to enjoy our party without having to worry about any details big or small, because Rachael anticipated our every need. At one point my hair started to fall, and before I could even ask her for a bobby pin she was there on the spot to fix it. Additionally, my wife's dress had a mishap with the hem. Rachael was instantly there with a sewing kit to save the day. We cannot recommend her enough; she was an absolute joy to work with! 10/10!

    Rachael and her team at happily ever events were incredible!! My fiancé, and I truly felt our wedding day was perfect and seamless and it was really thanks to Happily Ever Events. From our first meeting, we felt so much more at ease with the whole wedding planning process all the way through the actual day Rachael took care of everything that we needed and made us feel so supported throughout the whole process! She went above and beyond in everything and we couldn’t be more grateful. Highly recommend Happily Ever Events! She’s a pro!
