About

On WeddingWire since 2020

Rachael & Mike started Bad Boss Bride shortly after planning their own wedding.

Rachael worked as a Producer for over 10 years. Working on many diverse projects including Broadway productions, museum installations, large scale galas, video/film shoots and more. She is proud to have worked with companies like Google, Airbnb, JCREW and more. Mike also has roots in the theatre industry. Working as a set design and technical director for over 15+ years he's done it all! Providing technical direction and support for major concerts, large scale conventions, Broadway productions to name a few.

Despite all their experience they hit many pain points planning their own wedding. They knew there was a better way to approach the entire planning process that could be enjoyable for couples, foster creativity and be guided by understanding and support.

They developed their specific approach to wedding design and planning with their core values always at the forefront, empathy, understanding, creativity and flexibility.

Our Bride Sarah put best, "Rachael and her team actually listened to what we wanted and did not try to force us into a decision that did not feel right, which I think is what really sets them apart from other planners."​

A dream of a day with a dream team

Where to even begin, I found Rachael from Bad Boss Bride a little shy of a year from my wedding date. I was immediately drawn to all of their work; their style is exactly how I wanted my wedding to look and feel. I hadn't found any other wedding planners who doubled as florists, it felt meant to be, and after having the most amazing day of my life, it was definitely meant to be.

From the beginning, Rachael was very communicative and super helpful, keeping me calm and helping me understand what I needed to do and what to expect. Something no one tells you about weddings, because how would you know when you haven't done it before, is how much work and planning go into it; I had picked a venue where everything needed to be hired: Catering, Band, Florals, Rentals, etc. Rachael helped assure me every step of the way, created lists based on my needs and wants (dietary restrictions & venue restrictions) of vendors that would be a good fit, and then worked with all of my vendors to create the most seamless day. Every time I felt somewhat panicked, I was able to text or email and my worries were gone.

The weeks leading up to my wedding were the most stressful weeks, and Rachael was on top of *everything*. I wanted a lounge area, Rachael made it happen. I wanted a back-up weather day-of option, Rachael made it happen. Every tiny thing I worried about, Rachael had a back-up, it was the most stressful, stress-free two weeks and I can't thank the team enough. Every minor detail, every contact, just, everything. If anything went wrong the day of, I had no idea. I hired Bad Boss Bride for their ultimate package, including design help, florals, and day of coordination, and it was the best decision I made for the wedding. Rachael took all of my ideas, made them better, and brought them to life in the most fairy-tale, dream of a wedding day I could have imagined. The visuals, florals, the setups, just, everything was beautiful. I never imagined I would have a magazine wedding, but I did, and it was all Rachael's doing. My wedding was perfect, I can't recommend Bad Boss Bride enough.

Bad Boss Bride was PERFECT

Rachael of Bad Boss Bride was the perfect person to work with to make our wedding vision a reality, we could not recommend her enough. From our first conversation it was evident that Rachael was able to be both experienced and level-headed to make necessary decisions and execute details, while also being creative and inspired enough to immediately understand and plus-up our vision, bringing everything from our florals to decor to levels we could have only dreamed of. Though I wanted to be very hands-on, working with Rachael for full planning and design was the best decision we made, as it came with a trove of helpful resources and frequent touch points to keep us feeling on top of the chaos and in the drivers seat (though we understand that it was Rachael steering our remote control car 😂.) Rachael introduced us to some amazing vendors that helped make the whole experience perfect all who attended, and she worked great with those vendors we did find on our own, bringing them into her process and keeping everything running smoothly.
In the weeks leading up to wedding day, Rachael managed all details and adapted her communication style to what worked best for us in our busy schedules. She went out of her way to address any last minute issues, even those well outside of her control. Important formalities such as Rehearsal were managed with both reverence and humor, which resulted in a perfect output on wedding day. The day-of details were executed perfectly, and Rachael often jumped in to mitigate issues and flawlessly execute all details better than we ever could have ourselves. The Bad Boss Bride team, Amanda Lydia & Mike, were all so kind and helpful, always looking out for ways to make our day great and bringing a warm and welcomed presence to the full experience. We had a lot of DIY projects and elements we brought into the space, and Rachael integrated them seamlessly into the design along with her rentals and those of other vendors—we had a beautiful, robust design all thanks to the vision and expertise of the Bad Boss Bride team.

From end to end, Rachael and team provided a fabulous experience that put us, the couple, at the forefront and allowed us to truly have the best day of our lives. Thank you thank you thank you, Bad Boss Bride!!

Thought it was too good to be true.

Rachel at bad boss bridal is a floral dream come true. Everything was done perfectly. Leading up to the wedding it honestly seemed too good to be true. Everything I wanted and more without breaking the bank. I have not stopped talking about how great my florist was and have been recommending her to every single one of my engaged friends!
