About

We're a one stop for all things "wedding things" business located in northeast Ohio. We work in areas all over Ohio and are licensened and a "business in good standing" with the state of Ohio.

We welcome and work with weddings of all styles and sizes from all walks of every kind of life. We plan,discuss,design, decorate and un-decorate. We staff, coordinate, and yes, we officiate weddings. We can do just one, a few, or all of these wedding things. We usually do a whole lot more in the process, we listen, we advise, and often provide a source of counsel for our couples. (Worry not, it's never required) sometimes, it isn't even requested, it just happens.

We love all of the things that make traditionally sane people insane and we laugh a lot along the way.

We do all of what we do with the knowledge that no two "wedding things" are ever going to be the same, and so we treat every wedding we're priveleged to work with, exactly the same, and by the same,we mean, every wedding is treated differently.

Each wedding day reflects the personality and values and vibes of it's couple. We tend to seek out the unusual or non-traditional whenever possible. We believe that love wins no matter what love might look like, whether it's traditonally religious or it's spiritual or if its just about empirical data. We don't care if it's quiet or it's a bit baudy,we have no opinion regarding what makes love beautiful,we just know it when we see it, and we can't help,well... jumping right in to help it along when we can.

We offer an up front price sketch to help you determine if we fit within your budget or conversely, help you decide if we're posh enough for your needs. Click on the pdf in the pricing tab for a pretty good idea of what we charge. Of course, there aren't set packages because of that "weddings are all different" thing I said, but its as thorough a glimpse as anyone can give without having an actual conversation.

We,all of us working on your wedding, we love what we do.

Every person working on "your thing" is so passionate that they all began as volunteers and literally, they each appeared as the need for their talent was needed.

I have former and future brides that I've married (or planned with and will marry) working beside me, now I think that's a beautiful thing!

Please contact me. Let's chat, meet for a coffee and see if we have like personalities (because yes, that's a real thing) you need to enjoy the company of someone you're inviting into such an intimate space in your world.


All Services provided are tailored to your needs!

You will never be "sold" anything!

You'll be consulted with, listened to, and the goal is that together, we figure out how to offer no more than your details call for and never anything less than what you'll need!

Once all the pieces, prices, and personalities are in place, we'll begin the collaboration of Your Wedding Thing!

I look forward to hearing about your details!

Literally perfect

Joe and Rachal are truly phenomenal people. They went above and beyond what was expected, what we even paid for. They did more than just "officiate" our wedding. I didn't have to worry about a single thing! Rachal was so invested and responsive. She and Joe met with us early on and took the time to get to know us! Rachal answered all our questions and was extremely supportive of any idea. She guided us through the entire process, no detail went unnoticed. She was super knowledgable and kind. They made all of our announcements and controlled our playlist the day of. Joe and Rachal are WORTH IT! Their service and professionalism was incredible and I couldn't imagine that day without them. They, and the services they provided, certainly exceeded any expectation I had. They made what should have been a stressful day, stress-free! You would be crazy to pass Joe & Rachal up!!!

Flawless,Focused, Diligent & Direct

Rachal and her crew proved there is no such thing As overpromising they delivered everything she said they would and much much more.
The entire wedding was flawless and went off without a hitch from the first note of Music until the last song DJ played. With several face-to-face meetings countless texts and even more emails she helped keep us focused and provide us with a safe secure feeling as the day Approach.
We had several problems family members that she tended to for us in a manner that was direct and never revealed itself as a problem to us. in spite of all the people there she made us feel like we were the only two. we couldn’t ask for or expect anything else.
Thanks again Rachal

Look no further - one sFtop shop for all your wedding needs

Planning a wedding (and executing on that plan) can be a very difficult and stressful process. It can be even MORE stressful when family and friends insert themselves and vendors don't follow through, as promised. However, it can be a heck of a lot LESS stressful when you hire the right one to handle things and alleviate your burden.

People can go back and forth debating hiring a day-of coordinator, but let me tell you: they are worth their weight in gold. In our case, it just so happened that our day-of coordinator was also our officiant, which is actually how we met her in the first place. We met Rachal at a local coffeeshop to discuss ceremony structure, vows, what my wife and I value in our relationship, and how we wanted our special day to unfold. During those few hours together, we laughed, we cried, and we shared memories. Most importantly, my wife and I left that meeting, knowing full-well that we had made the right decision hiring Rachal.

My wife and I had done so much planning and preparation for our wedding that not much was left for family and friends to help, except some massive venue preparation the week-of that was out of our control. We "thought" we had everything covered. Well, that quickly changed when Rachal started asking questions and we thought, "Oh shit, what are we going to do about that?" Rachal offered calm words of reassurance and said, "Don't worry. I can handle that."

She took care of the officiating by writing a ceremony that was everything you hoped it would be: people laughed, people cried, and it was truly everything we hoped it would be. My wife and I hadn't thought of a bartender - Rachal had a guy. And when most people say they "Got a guy," you don't always know how that's going to pan out. When Rachal "had a guy" man did she have a guy - he was professional, on top of his game, made our guests laugh, and handled their requests with ease. She handled that.

When we were asked about a speaker system or music, we did have it covered but Rachal offered to bring hers, as well. Man, did her sound system rock out! We ended up syncing her micrphone to the sound system and things worked wonderfully.

Rachal had a team that supported her (and us, by extension) in various ways during the ceremony and reception. They were professional, polite, and did not disappoint.

I would highly recommend Rachal for any service of any denomination (religious, interfaith, agnostic, atheist, etc).

All it takes is a short, simple phone call to see if she is the right one for you. Why not give it a shot? You won't regret it.
