My only regret is not hiring Rachael sooner!
From the moment we started working with Rachael and her team, we knew we were in great hands. Our first phone call felt like talking a someone I’d known for years, and immediately lifted a weight off my shoulders. Rachael’s organized, and professional communication put us at ease throughout the entire planning process. Her attention to detail and obvious work ethic ensured that every aspect of our wedding day went off without a hitch. Rachael truly turned what was becoming an incredibly stressful time in my life into an enjoyable one. She is more than just a wedding planner - she's also a friend. I can’t recommend RD Events & Design enough. Rachael, thank you for EVERYTHING!
RD Events: planner, best friend, therapist & more
Rachael and I clicked from the second we got on the phone. I knew right away she was going to help make this a stress-free process, and that she did. We worked with Rachael for our October 2023 wedding at The Otesaga Resort Hotel in Cooperstown, New York. I couldn't have been more appreciative for her opinions, advise, and organization. Rachael helped me to create my vision for our wedding and executed it flawlessly. She was easy to communicate with and I felt like I could be honest and myself. Rachael had total control over all the vendors we utilized (even the last-minute additions) while also being there for me 24/7. Throughout the wedding planning process, she was the best friend I never knew I needed. Rachael is professional, calm, but also makes you feel like family. She is so passionate about what she does and you can tell from the minute you meet her. Our guests were also obsessed with her - She's an amazing people-person and someone you want by your side. My only regret was not finding her sooner. Rachael is your go-to wedding planner and coordinator. If you choose to work with Rachael & her team (which you should) your wedding day will be flawless, special, and the most amazing day of your life.
Absolutely incredible!
Rachael is the sweetest, kindest, most detail oriented and professional wedding planner! Her experience really shows every step of the way. My husband and I hired her a month after we got engaged. We met several wedding planners who seemed fine, and immediately after meeting Rachael, we sat in the car and didn’t even have to ask for each others thoughts - she was OBVIOUSLY our wedding planner. Not only did she know the answer to every random crazy question I had throughout 2 years, she also took so much off of my plate throughout wedding planning that allowed me to breathe knowing I had a professional helping me through the entire process. Wedding planning can be extremely stressful and I truly cannot imagine not having Rachael to guide us through it all. Rachael is beyond reliable, an expert in the industry, and makes you feel like you are her only client and best friend. If you are looking for a seamless wedding planning process, there is no better option than Rachael!
Have worked with for years...
RD Events is a pro outfit - super refreshing to work with in a field loaded with hobbyists. Highly recommend.
