About

Rachael & Mike started Bad Boss Bride shortly after planning their own wedding.

Rachael worked as a Producer for over 10 years. Working on many diverse projects including Broadway productions, museum installations, large scale galas, video/film shoots and more. She is proud to have worked with companies like Google, Airbnb, JCREW and more. Mike also has roots in the theatre industry. Working as a set design and technical director for over 15+ years he's done it all! Providing technical direction and support for major concerts, large scale conventions, Broadway productions to name a few.

Despite all their experience they hit many pain points planning their own wedding. They knew there was a better way to approach the entire planning process that could be enjoyable for couples, foster creativity and be guided by understanding and support.

They developed their specific approach to wedding design and planning with their core values always at the forefront, empathy, understanding, creativity and flexibility.

Our Bride Sarah put best, "Rachael and her team actually listened to what we wanted and did not try to force us into a decision that did not feel right, which I think is what really sets them apart from other planners."​

Bad Boss Bride was PERFECT

Rachael of Bad Boss Bride was the perfect person to work with to make our wedding vision a reality, we could not recommend her enough. From our first conversation it was evident that Rachael was able to be both experienced and level-headed to make necessary decisions and execute details, while also being creative and inspired enough to immediately understand and plus-up our vision, bringing everything from our florals to decor to levels we could have only dreamed of. Though I wanted to be very hands-on, working with Rachael for full planning and design was the best decision we made, as it came with a trove of helpful resources and frequent touch points to keep us feeling on top of the chaos and in the drivers seat (though we understand that it was Rachael steering our remote control car 😂.) Rachael introduced us to some amazing vendors that helped make the whole experience perfect all who attended, and she worked great with those vendors we did find on our own, bringing them into her process and keeping everything running smoothly.
In the weeks leading up to wedding day, Rachael managed all details and adapted her communication style to what worked best for us in our busy schedules. She went out of her way to address any last minute issues, even those well outside of her control. Important formalities such as Rehearsal were managed with both reverence and humor, which resulted in a perfect output on wedding day. The day-of details were executed perfectly, and Rachael often jumped in to mitigate issues and flawlessly execute all details better than we ever could have ourselves. The Bad Boss Bride team, Amanda Lydia & Mike, were all so kind and helpful, always looking out for ways to make our day great and bringing a warm and welcomed presence to the full experience. We had a lot of DIY projects and elements we brought into the space, and Rachael integrated them seamlessly into the design along with her rentals and those of other vendors—we had a beautiful, robust design all thanks to the vision and expertise of the Bad Boss Bride team.

From end to end, Rachael and team provided a fabulous experience that put us, the couple, at the forefront and allowed us to truly have the best day of our lives. Thank you thank you thank you, Bad Boss Bride!!

Very happy to have worked with Rachael

Rachael from Bad Boss Bride was essential to our wedding’s success. Getting a coordinator was a necessary support navigating a load-in venue while retaining our own ability to enjoy the day. She did a very good job directing the many vendors, guests with roles in the wedding/photos, and managing conflict/relationships amongst vendors. She is very protective of her couples which was greatly appreciated, particularly for two conflict-averse people. Aside from the direct coordination piece, the upfront organizational tools she gave were helpful even before our 30-day kickoff, and she provided many resources to help us make the day a success (like a small table to hold ceremony items, easels for signs, etc.). There’s also small things that were super appreciated like grabbing video of key moments unsolicited since we only had a photographer. Rachael did a great job and we are very happy to have worked with her!

NYC Wedding - 100 out of 5 stars!

Rachael and team were such an amazing asset through the entirety of wedding planning! We used her for partial planning and florals, which was a perfect fit with the level of support we needed since we had already booked a venue. Every time we got off the phone with her for a planning meeting we said we should tip her a million dollars and that stayed true through the day of. She connected us with vendors who were a perfect fit both stylistically and personality wise and her expertise and confidence in the industry shines through at every turn. Beyond her professionalism, incredible eye for detail, and gorgeous floral work, she was so kind and nice to work with and an amazing advocate for what we wanted and needed from vendors. Cannot recommend her and her team enough, and would give even more stars if we could.

Greatest Planner Ever!!

We will start by saying that working with Rachael was the best experience of our entire wedding planning endeavor. Rachael is extremely professional and on top of her game through all stages of the process. From ensuring we felt like guests at our own wedding, to being there for us through every emotional step of the way, she truly deserves the highest regard for her top-notch expertise.

Rachael handled all facets of our planning – from designing our beautiful florals to managing every single third-party vendor with absolute precision. Most importantly, Rachael is incredible on her feet; unbeknownst to us at the time, a few things behind the scenes went south on our wedding day, and we had absolutely no idea. She handled it seamlessly so that we could remain fully present and enjoy the day without a single worry.

Beyond her professionalism, Rachael brings a calming presence, a sharp eye for detail, and an ability to anticipate needs before they even arise. She strikes the perfect balance between being a steady, reassuring guide and an assertive manager who ensures everything gets done flawlessly.

If you are lucky enough to have Rachael as your planner, you will have a true partner in this process and someone who will make sure your wedding day feels effortless. We cannot recommend her highly enough.

On our wedding day she was absolutely amazing!

We cannot recommend Rachael and her team enough. From the very start she made the whole process easy and enjoyable and was there for us every step of the way. She is incredibly detail oriented and went above and beyond to make sure nothing was missed. On our wedding day she was absolutely amazing and made sure everything went smoothly so we could just relax and enjoy the moment.

The flowers were stunning. Our chuppah was more beautiful than we ever imagined and the table arrangements took our breath away.

Every detail was thoughtful, creative, and completely perfect.

Rachael is truly a master at what she does. She and her team are not only talented but also kind, supportive, and such a joy to work with. We are so grateful for everything they did to make our wedding so beautiful and unforgettable. (Photos below of a *small* sample of what they did!)

THANK YOU TO THE BAD BOSS BRIDE FOR MAKING OUR WEDDING SO MAGICAL!!

If I could, I would give her a thousand stars.

Beautiful florals

Rachael was great from our first conversation to the wedding day. She understood our vision with little instruction! The flowers were stunning and exactly what she promised. She was easy to work with and very responsive anytime we reached out. Thank you team for the beautiful florals and stress-free process!

Amazing experience with Rachael and the team!

I worked with Rachael for my Dec 2024 wedding and I cannot say enough great things. From the initial introduction phone call to the numerous meetings we had throughout the year, she always listened to my thoughts and helped me pivot in the right direction when I needed guidance. Being someone who had no knowledge of the floral and design world prior to working with her, she understood my vision better than I could even articulate. I would recommend Rachael to anyone who needs a floral or designer, she was great to work with!
