    Excellence

    Our wedding event was special and easy to navigate because of Rachel (RSVP Events). We work many hours and did not have the time to devote to planning the wedding. Rachel took the pressure from us She took our ideas and dreams and made the wedding happen. Our day was special and perfect and we would not have changed a thing.

    Rachel is a true professional, an easy communicator, and a pleasure to work with. She has a list of vendors that she uses and I would use them all again as they all were perfect on the day. I would highly recommend her as she made our dreams come true. We would only use RSVP Events for future celebrations.

    Best Event Planner

    Rachel is a phenomenal event planner. She planned a beautiful wedding for us in Coronado. She was there for us every step of the way. She had a detailed itinerary list and kept us track so we wouldn’t be so overwhelmed. She helped with budgeting, decor ideas, to finding the best vendors for our celebration. She was available a day and night via email and phone calls. We wouldn’t have been able to have our dream wedding without her. She is a true gem!

    Highly recommend!

    Rachel was amazing with helping us plan every detail of the wedding we were picturing! We started working with her about a year before, and there’s no way we could have done it without her constant communication, help and suggestions, vendor referrals, and so much more. It was everything we were hoping for and more, despite my worries throughout the process (which she always helped with). Rachel was awesome to work with and we would recommend her to anyone wanting a thorough, creative, communicative, and fun wedding planner.

    Awesome Bar Mitzvah Reception Coordinator!

    We had a great experience working with RSVP events! They were super organized and paid attention to details. They were reliable, friendly, creative, and available. I would definitely use them again!

    Virtual Party

    We did a virtual event. It was innovative, fun and the first of its kind. My guests had a blast! Rachel and our DJ came up with the entire idea and ran with it. I couldn't have asked for a better experience.

    RSVP Events's reply:

    Thank you Stacie! It was so fun being able to put together a virtual party for all of your friends and family to celebrate together during this time. Lemons to lemonade :)

    Rachel Wood and RSVP are incredible!!

    Rachel Wood and her staff are incredible. I would highly recommend hiring them for any event. They are a pleasure to work with, and they completely know what they are doing. Their amazing work will allow you to have a wonderful time at your event. They were our party planner for our son's recent Bar Mitzvah, and it was incredible. Recommend!

    RSVP Events's reply:

    Thank you, Claire! We loved working with your family and appreciated all the trust you showed us during the planning process.

    Absolutely amazing

    Rachel is by far the most amazing planner you could be lucky enough to have! She has decades of experience and literally thinks of every last detail. She is kind, funny, and professional! She has a ton of incredible vendor recommendations and is always very responsive. I was a 2020 covid bride and Rachel’s ability to pivot and regroup never ceased to amaze me. She was so accommodating and flexible during all of the uncertainty and I couldn’t be more thankful. Planning an event can be stressful on its own let alone adding something like covid into the mix but she never skipped a beat. She is worth every last penny and more! If there were more than 5 stars she would be one to deserve them!

    RSVP Events's reply:

    Sarah, you are making me blush! Phew that was a roller coaster of emotions but it turned out P.E.R.F.E.C.T in every way. I wish you and James a lifetime of love and happiness. xoxoxoxoxox. Rachel

    Beautiful backyard birthday party

    Rachel recently helped me plan an amazing 50th birthday party! This was the second event she has planned for me and once again she was amazing! From our first conversation about how to pull off a small, outdoor gathering of close friends just as people were starting to get vaccinated for COVID, to set-up the day of, she was on top of every detail, made everything easy for me, and suggested some really fun ideas. She works with a wide arrange of vendors and helped me stay within budget while bringing my vision to life. It was an evening to remember! We've already booked her again for another family event next year. I highly recommend her!

    RSVP Events's reply:

    Thank you Laurel!!! You are a dream to work with and love that you allow us to use our creativity. Your party was P.E.R.F.E.C.T and you are so deserving. Can't wait until the next one :) xoxo!

    Creative, fun professional

    Rachel stepped in and expertly orchestrated our day-of logistics for my daughter's bat mitzvah. This included pre-event brainstorming and day-of décor set-up. I was so impressed with Rachel that I subsequently hired her for my company's corporate event!

    RSVP Events's reply:

    Thank you, Jill! I enjoy working with a professional like yourself and can't thank you enough for the referrals you have sent our way. We are so grateful!

    Love, Rachel

    Rachel is a true professional! THE BEST

    Rachel is an absolutely phenomenal event planner! She knows the business and is extremely detail oriented. She took every phone call and listened to all the details we wanted then made them happen. If there was a problem or issue she had solutions or options for us. She’s calming, very patient, kind, and has great taste. She was truly a pleasure to work with and we are so very thankful to have had her planning expertise for our wedding ( in a pandemic mind you). Rachel is the BEST and you 1000% should hire her!

    RSVP Events's reply:

    Thank you Amanda!!!! You were a DREAM to work with. I can't wait to see the professional photos. xoxox!!!

    Broadway-themed Bat Mitzvah

    RSVP Events helped us plan our daughter's Broadway-themed Bat Mitzvah. Rachel was fantastic to work with! From the very first appointment she was responsive, flexible, creative, and did everything possible to help develop a vision and bring it to life. She has a great network of vendors and researched new ones when needed, and generally made everything as easy as possible for us. She was always available to answer questions and bounce ideas off of, and kept me on track throughout the entire process. I can't recommend them highly enough!!

    RSVP Events's reply:

    Thank you, Laurel! We had so much working with you. You had a BRIGHT vision and it all came together so beautifully. Thank you for trusting us with such a big day!

    Day of Planner- Bar Mitzvah

    Sherrill did so much to make my event easy for me. My extended family was amazed that I was back at the house enjoying some one on one time with them while all the party prep chaos was occurring back in the social hall. It was so wonderful to just arrive and have everything set up and looking perfect ! I appreciated how easily you came up with ideas and solutions to any and all items that popped up - and reminding me of things I had overlooked. RSVP is an incredible resource, so responsive, and just all-around fantastic support.

    RSVP Events's reply:

    Thank you Sue! You are so wonderful and easy to work with. I'm so happy to hear that you were able to put your trust in me and relax and enjoy time with your family and didn't stress out about set up.
    The party was fabulous! Thank you for letting me be part of it.

    Wonderful planners that really care about your event!

    Rachel and her team did a great job with the Bar Mitzvah party. They brought fresh ideas and assisted in every aspect of the event— catering, decoration, DJ, etc, and were spot-on with every detail!

    RSVP Events's reply:

    Thank you!!! We really had fun with your event because you trusted us to do our jobs and really gave us creative freedom on it. Can't wait to work with you on the next one :) xoxox! Rachel

    Sherrill provided excellent guidance!

    We met with Sherrill pretty early in our wedding planning, and she provided guidance that has been my north star throughout. She encouraged me to think about the venue as just four walls-- curate an event that fit our personalities, our budget, and our lifestyle. Don't feel pressured to do anything that doesn't help build toward the attitude and vibe we're looking for.
    This was incredibly freeing, helping us really narrow in on the things we care about and designing an event that achieved our goals. Sherrill gave me permission I didn't know I needed to let my sense of fun and whimsy emerge in non-traditional ways. We're getting married and throwing a fun party, our way. Sherrill got our vision, and provided some excellent ideas to get us started!

    RSVP Events's reply:

    Thank you Lacey! I can't wait to see how you and Jacob make it "yours". And so glad I could help in any way! It will be amazing and I'm looking forward to it!

    RSVP's Rachel Wood is the wedding master!

    Rachel handled all my set up and day-of coordination with such ease. There was a lot to be done in a short amount of time, and she made sure to execute without me worrying about anything. We had a rough plan drafted of where each vendor would set up and how all my decor would be arranged, but on the day quite a few changes were needed and Rachel handled so seamlessly- it honestly turned out better! Planning all the details on my own and then passing it off to someone on the very day of my wedding was tough (control issues) but we had the best possible outcome. All my guests had the best time and even complimented Rachel's work ethic/style. With all of the bride & groom to-dos, we never felt pressured or rushed- everything was smooth. I would urge anyone and everyone to work with RSVP for full wedding planning and/or coordination. Thanks, Rach!

    RSVP Events's reply:

    Thank you for the kind words, Ashley!!!! You had a clear vision and it was fun bringing it to life. It was an honor to be apart of your special day. Thank you for your trust. I know how much time and love goes into planning a wedding...... so happy it went the way you wanted it to. xoxox Rachel!

    A chance meeting.

    When my wife and I were looking to get married, we tried to plan the whole thing ourselves. We didnt know how much work it would actually take us, and after about 6 months, we gave up and started looking for a wedding planner. We couldn't find any within our budget for a while. Until my mom happened to have an exchange of words with one of these 2 fantastic ladies at a Baskin Robin's in Poway. Even after losing the business card, we were still able to track her down on the internet. Rachel and Sherrill are both fantastic at what they do. They were always quick to respond to any questions or concerns we had, they were extremely flexible with our budget, and they were fantastic to interact with in person and over the phone.

    They both helped us stay on time and helped with planning things we never would have thought of.

    My wife and I get to spend the rest of our lives together knowing that it officially started with one of the most beautiful days I could hope for.

    I hope for nothing but joy and success for Rachel and Sherrill.

    RSVP Events's reply:

    Aw! Thank you, Sebastian!!! We are so happy for our chance meeting and even happier we were able to assist with such a beautiful day. Thank you for including us.

    Thank goodness for Sherrill!!!

    Sherrill was amazing! She took such a personal interest in the planning of my daughter's wedding, that I felt as though we were her only clients. Her many years of experience have provided her with a vast body of knowledge, which was very helpful in making decisions, from vendors to minute details. We would have wasted a lot of time without her guidance. My daughter and I felt comforted and confident having Sherrill at the helm during this frenetic and momentous time period.
    Sherrill is also extremely diplomatic and adept at communicating effectively so as to validate everyone's feelings and choices.
    Without hesitation I would recommend Sherrill and RSVP Events to plan events of any kind!

    RSVP Events's reply:

    Thank you so much Debbie! It was a pleasure working with all of you on planning Emily & Gabe's wedding. They both had wonderful ideas which made it fun and easy to put it all together. Thanks for letting us be a part of it!

    Excellent Customer Service

    Rachel Wood at RSVP Events was an absolutely amazing party planner! I was extremely detail-oriented with planning our daughter's bat mitzvah and sent Rachel numerous e-mails daily for almost the last 3 months in addition to e-mails and phone calls for about a year prior to her party. Rachel provided the best customer service we have ever experienced and was extremely responsive to all of my questions and concerns the entire time. She truly went above and beyond to make our vision of the party come to life and make everything perfect. We had the bat mitzvah at the social hall of our synagogue and Rachel and her team transformed the party into the look of an elegant ballroom at half the price! They brought in decorations, pipe and drape for the doors, centerpieces, the backdrop, linens, etc. and even came in a day ahead of time to make sure everything was set up and running on schedule. The lighting was beautiful as well. They also helped us with making a seating chart sign, coming up with the signature drink, themed napkins, bathroom decor, and communicating with all of the vendors. Rachel was extremely involved during the party as well to make sure everything ran smoothly. Rachel's partner Sherrill was extremely supportive the entire time as well. Even though I was extremely involved with the planning and detail-oriented the entire time, Rachel and Sherrill never made me feel like I was a nuisance and always followed up on any requests I made (including last minute requests). This is the best party planning service for bat mitzvahs in San Diego and I had several friends ask for their referral information after attending our party. Thanks so much again to Rachel, Sherrill, and the entire team at RSVP events for making our daughter's bat mitzvah such a perfect occasion! We will never forget your kindness!

    RSVP Events's reply:

    wow! Thank you, Natalie!!! We really did enjoy working with your entire family and we are so pleased with how everything turned out. We cannot wait for the professional photos to come back so we can relive such a wonderful afternoon :) xoxox! - Rachel

    Vow Renewal Ceremony

    What a great experience! Rachel was there every step of the way making sure our special event went off without a hitch. I learned quickly that there are a lot of details that need to be worked out for any event-especially one of this size. I will never do an event without Rachel and the team at RSVP-Invaluable resource and worth the investment!!!

    RSVP Events's reply:

    Thank you Jeff!!!! I absolutely love working with you and Laurie. The renewal was so special and we were honored to assist on such an important event.

    Rsvp events (sherrill)

    Sherrill, at RSVP EVENTS, was absolutely professional and very friendly on every aspect of the wedding coordination! We hired her for a "day of the wedding coordinator," however she kept us completely updated on everything we needed to accomplish ahead of schedule in a timely manner for many months! I wish I would have hired her for my oldest daughter's wedding 9 years ago. I would 100% recommend RSVP EVENTS to anyone considering hiring a wedding coordinator. They are available for the "entire wedding coordination" and "day of wedding coordinator!" Our youngest daughter spent many hours and days and months planning her wedding. It was a tremendous, overwhelming amount of work to do on your own. Hiring RSVP EVENTS (and in our case, we asked Sherrill to be our coordinator), would make everything completely stress free from day one. Sherrill works extremely diligently, is very knowledgeable, and does an absolutely beautiful job! She knows people in all areas associated with weddings (flowers, decorations, venues, etc.) that she can recommend. If we had another wedding in the family, I would definitely hire RSVP EVENTS again! They are excellent! Can not get any better! Be sure to contact them early enough, though, so you can be more guaranteed to book them! We were completely impressed with everything they did for us!

    RSVP Events's reply:

    Thank you Patti! You and Christina were a pleasure to work with and made my job so easy! I wanted to do more for you!!! The wedding was beautiful and now they are a beautiful, happy family. I was honored to be chosen as you coordinator!

    Sherrill was an awesome wedding day coordinator!

    Sherrill was awesome for our wedding! She had creative ideas and responded to all my emails quickly! She even met me at my venue and helped map out the floor plan for our wedding night! She was easy to work with, professional, knowledgeable, and definitely knows the wedding industry! She can recommend several vendors for whatever you're looking for! She kept in contact with all our vendors and made the whole wedding process seamless and as peaceful as possible! I would highly suggest using Sherrill for your wedding day!
