    Book Rachel for your wedding day!

    Rachel was the best coordinator to work with and made our wedding day a dream come true! She was so organized and stayed in touches with our vendors to ensure the day ran flawlessly. Not only was Rachel patient, kind, and so friendly to work with, she answered all of our questions and helped in every way possible. She communicated well and made sure all of our family members were fully present on the wedding day. I highly recommend working with Rachel to make your day truly perfect.

    The best day-of planner

    Booking Rachel was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding day. She was incredibly professional, extremely punctual and well-prepared, as well as easy-going, and so easy to be around. She was a joy to work with. She made the whole day a breeze for us and infinitely less stressful than we anticipated. Our biggest regret is not booking her earlier in the planning process. Would highly recommend.

Rachel MacQueen
Owner and Head Coordinator

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!
