Best decision I made as a bride!

Where do I even start? Rebecca and her team exceeded my expectations and truly made my wedding day a dream come true. During COVID times, we had everything working against us at one point but Rebecca and her team all showed up with smiles on their faces happy to help with whatever was needed. They paid close attention to detail and nothing was left out or forgotten. The girls at one point even got the party started doing the cha-cha slide on the dance floor (one of my favorite memories of the day). Rebecca also made my rose gold acrylic wedding invites which came out stunning! I had a vision that I was not sure would be able to be met but, once again, she exceeded my expectations. Hiring Rebecca and her team was the best decision I made during the wedding planning process. I would highly recommend her to any bride.

Amazing to Work With

Rebecca and Team were so easy to work with! They pay attention to small details and will truly guide you through planning your big day! I never felt like I had to lift a finger. They brought our visions to life and really listened to what we were looking for. A big thank you to the team for also being able to take care of the flower and bud arrangements. Book with her, you will not be disappointed! Thank you again Rebecca, Hannah, and Breanna, we are forever grateful.

The RCE Magic

We hired Rebecca and her team for 60-day partial planning and day-of coordination. I knew I wanted someone to help with all the details and make sure the day ran smoothly-- and so I could just relax and enjoy the day. Tough for me, as a type A person.

But now I can say with confidence hiring Rebecca and her team was hands down one of the best investments we made for our wedding. Here's why.

1. Kindness: Rebecca and every one of her assistants were just incredible. She brought in 3 assistants because our wedding had a lot of moving parts and they were all so wonderful. It felt like we had an army of friends around us. And, I especially noticed how kind and collaborative they were with all our vendors. To me, that is a sign of utmost class and not something you always see. It was important to me, and I didn't even know that it would be.
2. Organization: We brought on Rebecca only for the last 60 days. She had shared a recommended vendor list before that, and also was available for a few questions/gut checks even before she officially started, which to me was a sign she really cared. I had already hired almost all my vendors at the 2-month mark, but Rebecca brought it all together. She became the point of contact for everyone, and when we had a few vendor mishaps she was there to help us sort through it all. At this point I felt a little chaotic. So many details, so many vendors, so little time. But, with Rebecca on my team I never doubted it would all work out. I just started adding her to every email exchange because it made me feel better to have her totally in the loop. She came to my final walk through at the venue and it was just so comforting and helpful to have her there. Her timeline packet is legendary.
3. Unexpected turns: Without fail, every wedding has a few bumps. Ours was no different. For example, my dad was supposed to drive a golf cart and instead just left and I turn around and Melissa is doing it, without skipping a beat! And unfortunately we had a medical emergency with a family member during dinner and the whole RCE team was totally all over it and after everything was okay were able to quickly pivot and get the wedding and timeline back on track. And again, with so much warmth and kindness during a very stressful moment. I am so grateful to them.
4. Little extras: Bree took my phone during getting ready and took a bunch of photos so that I had them the next day. Without me even asking! Melissa literally was on the ground to help me with my shoes when we were going to take couple portraits at the beach. Melissa also took a bunch of polaroids during the reception just to add to the candids. They packed up everything at the venue at the end if the night, put it in a box and put it at our house. I woke up the next morning wondering "where is my ceremony dress... my veil... my shoes... the champagne glasses... where are all the cards... where is EVERYTHING." Dear reader, everything was perfectly packed up in two boxes and in my husbands childhood bedroom. How? I will never know. And that is the RCE magic.

I cannot recommend RCE to you enough. If you're reading this they're already on your radar and you should just hire them.
