Rachael and Tim were our wedding planners and they did an amazing job. We held a 4 day event in Eden, Utah. It was Thursday evening thru Sunday morning with 110 guests in attendance.
The entire weekend went amazingly smooth and we owe so much of that to Tim & Rachael. They brought a ton of decorations with them, they set up each venue throughout the weekend, took down each venue, organized all of the decorations and decor.
They came out and walked the venue with us prior to the event. They helped design the whole theme, the reception, center pieces, table set ups... They helped us find vendors.
They clearly have a ton of experience with weddings and thought of things we would have completely missed.
I would recommend them to anyone planning a wedding who needs someone in their corner.
Thank you so much Rachael and Tim. It was the wedding of our dreams and we never could have done it without you. You're the best!

My husband and I were planning our wedding from another state and we needed help. I am a bit of a control freak so handing off so much of the biggest day of our lives was hard. As we began to look into planners we found some planners very narrowminded about working with a couple who had non-traditional ideas and spiritual beliefs. None seemed to get our vision or make us feel as relaxed as Rachael and Tim, from the first call with them, I knew we were in good hands.
Through the year of planning, there were times of high stress and a hug from Rachael or a text message letting me know it was going to be ok was just the ticket.
Our venue had a short set up window and everything came out looking wonderful and if any problems came up I was blissfully unaware. Rachael was fantastic about listening to my ideas and blending her decor, ideas etc in with my decor and DIY's. No idea we came up with was too strange and she really helped achieve the look and atmosphere I was going for. She coordinated with our other vendors and everyone was ready to go on time. She even got the DJ to add in a song at the last minute because we didn't realize we needed one for the bridal party to walk in with.
I highly recommend Rachael and Tim especially if you are a non-traditional couple. They are so accepting and easy going and they will make your day even better than you imagine.

Melissa - thank you for letting us be a part of such an important time for you and Dan. We love being a part of it all - your vision/theme/colors were so much fun to bring to life! You are a wonderful couple - it is obvious how much you love eachother.

Rachael and Tim were AMAZING and sooo HELPFUL at my wedding in October. I didn't always follow the traditional wedding concepts and they were great at going with the flow, but also giving me advice when something didn't seem to be quite right. They were always there when I needed them and always answered the phone. They helped me find some microphone supplies I desperately needed and had a low budget for. I didn't want to pick out music for the ceremony or during dinner and they hand music ready to go for me. I did a lot of planning myself, but when it came to the Day-Of I didn't have to worry about anything but getting ready and practicing my vows. They handle it all and helped me create the wedding of our dreams. Thank you Rachael and Tim for all that you did!

We hired Rachael as our wedding planner the summer before our wedding. She planned and executed our dream wedding in six months. We got married on January 13 at the Las Vegas golf club and the day went smoothly thanks to Rachael. Rachael is very well organized and very knowledgeable about the wedding industry. I requested that our wedding be simple but still be nice for our guest to enjoy celebrating with us. She managed to give me a simple, elegant wedding on an extremely tight budget. I would not have been able to pull it off on my own. Having a wedding planner to coordinate on the day of the wedding was priceless. I was able to enjoy my day with my guest and let Rachael worry about all the little details. I would fully recommend hiring Rachael as your wedding planner!!!
