You Want Rachel There For Your Big Day!

Rachel is very knowledgeable and such a creative wedding planner. I have witnessed her work and it is always impeccable! She takes care of all of the details and planning for the big day, and takes away much of the stress from the wedding party! I definitely recommend for anyone having a wedding in DC or VA.

SHE'S A SCAMMER!!!
Rachel ghosted us during the process and kept the retainer payment.
We don't understand. She took our money and blocked us from contact.
