I cannot say enough good things about Rachael and RME! We hired her for month of coordination but were able to connect with her early on so she had an idea of what we were looking to do and gave us many planning tools to use in the time leading up to our wedding. She was an even greater help when COVID hit and at 65 days out we had to make a venue change which required us to bring in additional vendors. She helped us navigate that process and made the time leading up to the big day much less stressful. She also never missed a beat on wedding day and it was perfect. I would have another wedding just to be able to work with her again! -

Rachael was absolutely phenomenal as our wedding coordinator!! Not only did she help us coordinate and plan a beautiful wedding day, but she did it TWICE. Our original wedding date was unfortunately scheduled for the arrival of a hurricane, causing us to postpone the entirety of our day. Without Rachael as our coordinator, I honestly believe our wedding would have ended up being cancelled altogether. Within hours of learning the urgency of the storm and needing to make a fast plans, Rachael immediately stepped in, coordinated with all vendors, and presented me with a nice little list of options - all I had to do was choose. Her thoroughness and efficiency were PRICELESS as she made a potentially very stressful time, really quite easy. Honestly, I think every bride needs someone like Rachael on their side as they prepare for their wedding day. It certainty made our day as smooth, stress free, and beautiful as we imagined! -

Lindsey Sent on 11/28/2017I cannot say enough about how valuable Rachael was on our wedding day and throughout the entire wedding planning process. Planning a wedding on your own is exciting at first, but we soon realized we were in over our heads. There were so many details and coordinating between vendors that we did not anticipate and simply did not have the time for. We felt as if our wedding had become a second job. Once Rachael entered the picture, we were back on track. From then on, our wedding planning process was a breeze. She takes the time to truly get to know you and your style and vision for your wedding day. During the walk-through of our ceremony, cocktail hour and reception site she offered up so many great ideas to help out with the flow of our wedding that I would not have thought of on my own, while still keeping our opinions and vision at the forefront. Rachael kept everything nicely organized in one place accessible to everyone, which gave us peace of mind that everything that needed to be done had been checked off. She was in constant contact with all of our vendors early on to ensure that everyone was on the same page. Above all, we had a stress free wedding day that went off without a hitch. She took care of spreading out our DIY wedding decor and flowers (a huge feat) and helped make our day look and feel like a fairytale. We are now a month out from our wedding and when my husband and I reflect back on it we still talk about how glad we were to have Rachael there on our big day.

I'm a bride from Charlotte, NC, but knew I wanted those rolling blue ridge mountains on my wedding day. Planning a wedding from 4 hours away isn't easy, but Rachel was the best person I could have chosen to help me make my day perfect! Rachel and I spoke approximately 3 times on the phone within the 9 month time frame of my wedding planning so I could provide her details and updates of all aspects of my vendors. We also met two or three times in person - the last time being when I was in town about 5 days before my wedding. It was at this time that I provided her with spreadsheets of all details of my wedding in re: to decor placement, seating arrangements, daily timeline, etc. She was amazing at highlighting details, asking questions about areas that I would not have even thought of, and really helped my vision come together. At time she planned my wedding, she was also employed in another position so had limitations on her ability to respond during those work hours - but went above and beyond to make sure we had detailed communication in a timely manner and I never had any issues with our communication. She understood my vision 100%! She was great at lending ideas and also accepting what I envisioned and making it come to life. I gave her extreme about of detail about which lanterns went with other lanterns, etc - and she made it come to life! With regard to working with other vendors, she was very respectful to the church coordinator who came as part of me using the church I did in Charlottesville. Rachael checked in with me to make sure I was comfortable with everything as a whole. She would have been an advocate for me if I had wanted anything changed from the church coordinator. She is extremely organized, has a genuine love for making your wedding day perfection, is respectful and polished with communication with both myself, family and vendors, and is detail oriented. I can easily see her molding to whatever type of bride she's working with! -

Kelly Sent on 01/18/2018Rachael is without a doubt the only reason that our wedding weekend went smoothly. Technically she was our day-of coordinator, though realistically she was a crucial help to us for months leading up to the wedding. Her creativity, organization skills, responsiveness and overall wedding-expertise helped make our big day stress-free and an amazing event for our 150+ guests. I was originally a firm believer that I didn't need any wedding planning assistance, but I quickly found that I was in over my head trying to understand all of the little details and the specific flow of the day. It was unbelievably helpful to have Rachael to run to with questions whenever they came up, and it was great to always have a quick and helpful response from her. We were so thankful to work with Rachael, and I encourage anyone else going through the chaos that is wedding planning to consider utilizing her skills and knowledge to ease your stress.
