My name is Rachel MacQueen and I found my love for planning while planning my own wedding. I have always been organized and have always enjoyed planning - it only makes sense that I landed into this profession! I have worked as a coordinator on a team with 20 years of experience before starting my own business. I also collect house plants, play tennis, and walk corgi, Pierogi. I have a degree in ASL-English interpretation from Columbia, so I know ASL too. Congratulations on your engagement - I am so excited for you! I have loved love stories my whole life and would love to hear yours!
