Introduction: Wedding Planning is just my title. What I really do is setup, tear down, DIY, design, floral arrangement, event coordination, vendor review, negotiations and coordination. There is no task too small or too large. I have a full bride and groom kit prepared for any last minute emergencies, I do crowd control, backup plan sourcing, and even bus tables if I have to when catering staff is shorthanded. I love meeting new couples and finding out their story. Each and every client has a unique story and a unique personality that makes working with them like starting from scratch! I love being able to create and DIY something for my brides that blow their minds and surprise them with how beautiful and put together everything is. My favorite part of my job is the look on my clients faces once they see everything that I've done for them!

I can't begin to describe how wonderful Rachel is. When we got engaged, my (now) husband and I decided to get married at my grandfather's house in a remote location in Western New York. We thought it would be special and lovely, but we had no idea how difficult it would be to find good vendors in the area when most of them don't even have websites. Enter Rachel. She's friendly and warm and so much fun, and she thought of ideas and details that never occurred to me. In 8 months she planned and created a wedding I could never even dream of. She DIY'ed most of the decor on her own, she coordinated the vendors (no small task since the wedding was kind of in the middle of nowhere), and she created the perfect day within our very small budget! And each time someone asked if I was stressed about the wedding, I could honestly answer that I was not. I trusted Rachel, and she would handle my many questions and ideas calmly and realistically. I had no idea how to plan a wedding, and she held my hand throughout the entire process. In the days leading up to the wedding, I was stressed for the first time. I just didn't see how were going to turn a my grandfather's yard into a wedding space. But the moment Rachel arrived, that all went away. I knew she would handle everything. On the day of the wedding, my husband and I didn't worry about a thing. She took care of everything. It was the easiest day for both of us because Rachel took the stress of the day away from us and dealt with everything flawlessly. We didn't have a clearcut vision of what we wanted the wedding to look like when we started the wedding planning process. We knew we didn't want it to be a stuffy wedding and we wanted it to be lovely, but we didn't have any ideas about the details. Rachel was able to give us the wedding we didn't know we wanted. I wouldn't have changed one thing. People are still talking about how perfect everything was! Rachel was able to take our personalities and create a wedding that we never could have created on our own and it was unique to us, laid-back and absolutely gorgeous. My husband (a man of few words) wanted me to add on his behalf that, "She did an amazing job. Her attention to detail made all the difference." We can't recommend her enough. You won't regret letting Rachel and The One Moment Events make your day perfect for you!

I have used Rachel for multiple events and each time I am more and more impressed with her skill and professional ability!!! She is incredibly creative and has the unique ability to create my vision even though I am not even positive what it is I am envisioning! She is absolutely amazing at ever aspect of event planning and is a joy to work with!

Where do I even start with my review of the wonderful Rachel. Rachel will not only plan, coordinate, and decorate your dream wedding, but she will be ready for any and all disastrous events that can (and will, though they won't be as big of a deal as they seemed looking back) happen. Her clipboard will have every idea you ever mention, and if it's possible, safe, ethical, and in your budget, she will make it happen. If you're lucky enough, like I was, she will also become a friend. And having a friend help you plan your wedding makes it SO MUCH more fun. If you like to craft, and make your own decorations, she is your girl. She is truly anything and everything you could want in a wedding planner, and I am grateful I had her by my side for my day. Thank you so much!!!

Having Rachel help plan and coordinate our wedding was one of the best decisions I made (obviously choosing the groom has to be #1)! As someone who had no idea where to start after booking a venue, she helped guide me through the whole process help me know what I needed to do along the way as we got closer to the wedding. She is one of the most professional and responsive individuals and incredibly organized. We had a lower budget that she was able to help us stay under as well. We had several DIY sessions in which she helped me (a pinterest wannabe) make our programs, favors, and decorations which all looked unbelievable at the reception! The weather was unpredictable until about 2 hours before the wedding, and Rachel was able to set up both inside (backup rain location) and outside locations just to keep me stress free! I didn't have to worry about anything going wrong because Rachel was so on top of everything from the moment we met until I left the reception that night. I would completely recommend Rachel to anyone to coordinate their wedding. She's not only an amazing planner, but a great person to have as a friend. Plus our mutual obsession of our dogs made me love her even more!

We hired Rachel to do a backdrop and provide flowers a our wedding in Fairfax. She was really easy to work with and a professional all the way. If you are looking for someone to provide excellent service and advice for your wedding, I would definitely recommend Rachel and The One Moment Events team.

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Each client I work with will want something completely different than my previous one. There are also factors such as how many other people are there working on the wedding. Do you have caterers or waitstaff serving and bussing tables? Is there a venue coordinator that will be on site to assist me with heavy lifting? Have all the centerpiece flowers and miscellaneous decor been setup prior to the event or does that need to be done by me?
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I am always keeping up to date on the latest bridal information. Trends come and go but useful information is slow to come. I listen to wedding podcasts and shows while I clean my house, I am constantly finding new DIYs and always searching for the next best website for the cheapest, best quality table linens and china. Things that will help my clients rather than the latest trend. Because I would much rather work with a client that does something completely off trend but is true to who they are and save them money than be the person totally up to date on the hottest new thing yet my couple spends exorbitant amounts on something I could have easily found or DIYed for them myself!
How did you get started doing this type of work?
I actually did wedding cakes, cupcakes and cookies for about 4 years for my online bakery. After a while of doing that and seeing a lot of behind the scenes for weddings I realized that there was SO much more to be done than what most bride and grooms realized. I've been planning my own birthday parties (and then birthday parties for my little brother) since I could walk. Planning events, coordinating things and creating pretty things have always been passions of mind. Being able to turn that into a profession has been a dream!
