Mickey and Chris
Mickey and Chris were such a great couple to work with. Mickey knew what she wanted but needed help bringing it all
to life. Mickey and Chris decided to have their wedding in the back yard of their new home. Their backyard and deck is
absolutely AMAZING, the creative juices started flying the minute I saw it. Since their wedding was at their home, it was
important to me that Mickey and Chris didn't feel like the host an hostess and felt more like the bride and groom.  Below
is Mickey's testimonial and some words of advice for future brides and grooms.  Enjoy the beautiful pictures from Dana of

There are so many wonderful things that I can say about Rachel, but words cannot describe how valuable she was to us
with helping us create our special day.  She did a phenomenal job with our wedding!  In fact, I think she might have had
an “in” with Mother Nature because our wedding was outside and the weather was perfect.  

Rachel helped us with the planning and worked with various vendors on our behalf.  She even helped get us get in touch
with a few vendors that truly helped pull together our entire day.  She reminded us of certain tasks and she brought up
some great ideas that we had not even considered.  She coordinated our wedding day, she provided flowers for the bridal
party and our backyard, and she decorated our entire backyard.  She was our go-to person for our wedding date, so that
we didn’t have to worry about managing that day along with all the normal Bride & Groom duties.  The décor was
breathtaking and I was very impressed!  To top if all off, she was a pleasure to work with while she helped plan, coordinate
and design our special day.  Furthermore, the input that we have received from family and friends is that it was one of the
best weddings that they have ever attended and I know that is because we had Rachel on our side.
Because our wedding took place in our backyard, we will now have a lifetime of memories that Rachel brought to life.

Other Special Notes:
Weddings can be very costly events and it can be exhausting thinking about adding an additional expense of a
wedding coordinator to your budget.  My only words of wisdom (as a recent bride) are that you really need to
consider your experience with planning such an important event.  The services that Rachel provided to us for our
wedding day are invaluable.  She pulled everything together and made our day run incredibly smooth.  

* We had issues with a rental company prior to the day, and she helped so much with this piece.
*We wanted something different for our ceremony music and she put us into contact with a fantastic musician.
*Our wedding as at our home, so parking was a concern and she came up with some great solutions that we never
would have even considered.
*Because she was setting up the tables and designing the décor, I cannot even imagine what the décor and flowers
would have been like had Rachel not also provided her floral services for our wedding ceremony and reception.  I
previously worked with another florist, however because that florist wasn’t involved with the décor and event design,
that person was limited on the services (and creativity) that could be provided.  Rachel’s creative designs were perfect
for our ceremony because she was involved with everything.  Also, because she was involved and understood the site
layout perfectly, she knew where the money should be spent so that we didn’t waste any money on unnecessary
flowers or décor.

In the initial stages of our wedding planning, I was afraid to invest additional money for what some might consider
frivolous, but now in retrospect I realize her services were a necessity, just as much as a caterer or an officiant. Now I
truly understand that it would have been impossible to pull off our wedding day without her by our side!

I would recommend her services to everyone!
