Amazing Planning from Start to Finish!

Rachael was a godsend for our wedding. We used her full service planning and she assisted us through our nearly two year engagement with all the logistics and details of our wedding day. Not having been to many weddings, it was invaluable to have someone with so much experience in the industry. She offered so much great advice and was very responsive - I'd often receive very detailed responses sent in the wee hours of evening to random questions I asked her. On the wedding day, everything went right from start to finish (or at least from our perspective it did) and I attribute so much of that to Rachael and her assistant's help - as well as the rest of the vendor team she helped us pick. She made us feel like ours was the only wedding she was working on and truly made the day so special. I've already recommended her to multiple friends. She could be charging double her price in my opinion.

Superb and caring service, every step of the way

From our first meeting to our goodbyes at our reception, Rachael was a joy to work with. We went into planning knowing very little, so Rachael provided us with a ton of helpful resources, such as planning timelines, vendor recommendations and vendor contact information. All this and her incredible willingness to chat made for a smooth planning process! The month leading up to the wedding, she was even more responsive, with several planning meetings set up. She handled vendor contracts, answered questions and, most importantly, worked to put our day off schedule together! On the wedding day, she handled all of our concerns and made sure we didn’t feel rushed or behind schedule. She worked seamlessly with our Maitre D, ensuring that everything ran smoothly in the background. She constantly checked up on us and coordinated with all of our vendors on our behalf. Looking back at our wedding day, it truly could not have been done without her. Rachael made our wedding feel special from day one, and lives up to her company name of Glass Slipper Weddings. I offer my sincere recommendation to any couple wanting a magical day!

Best. Planner. Ever!

Rachael is a godsend to those lost in the midst of wedding planning. Her expertise and experience in guiding couples made her invaluable through the entire process. Highly personable and responsive, she knows where to offer suggestions (whether it was adding an extra flair or NOT cluttering the venue with extra decor) and also how to calm our nerves. We opted to work with her after we lost our progress on wedding planning due to the pandemic. Over the course of about a year, she helped our wedding planning process go so smoothly, it felt almost too easy at times! Her presence was crucial on the big day, from tracking down stray party members to transporting items throughout the venue. Her sense of humor and industry expertise made the entire process fun rather than stressful. I cannot recommend Rachael enough! THANK YOU RACHAEL!!!

A true professional

Rachael was a real blessing for our wedding. Going into this process without a concrete vision, she helped us map out how to tackle planning the wedding all the way to its fruition. she served as fantastic resource for finding exceptional vendors to work with as well as how to be efficient with our budget to get the most value. She also served as a point of contact between our various vendors in ensuring everything was coordinated seamlessly. Most importantly, Rachel kept us focused on the key tasks and served as a guide when we started going off the rails! Our wedding went off seamlessly, the entire process was almost entirely stress free, and it wouldn't have been possible without her!

Absolute pro!

achael was the absolute best! My husband and I hired Rachael to help plan our wedding reception which eventually was postponed due to covid. Rachael was a part of our nearly 3 year journey. She ultimately led us to the perfect location at the Wave resort in Long Branch, NJ. She was never short on suggestions and advice in those early days. Once plans were settled Rachael helped look over contracts, ease worries, and inspired us. Suffice to say, without her our magical day wouldn’t have been half as much. On the day of our reception Rachael was an absolute pro. Setting up table decor, fielding questions and calls, and the point of contact for all our vendors. I was able to sit back and enjoy the afternoon with my friends without worry. In short, I cannot recommend Rachael enough. If I ever throw another big party I know who I am calling!

Every Detail Was Taken Care Of

Rachael was an excellent partner and coordinator for my wedding. It was a true pleasure to work with her and on the day of the wedding absolutely everything was taken care of and went smoothly. She was available any time I needed her and gave me lots of good advice and recommendations of vendors. I would definitely recommend her to anyone!

We love Glass Slipper!

We are so grateful that we made the decision to hire Rachael Citron from Glass Slipper as our Month Of/Day Of Wedding Coordinator! We can say without a doubt that both our planning process and wedding day would not have been as seamless and wonderful if not for Rachael and her associate Shannon. Rachael not only referred us to countless amazing vendors, but she also guided us when it came to reviewing contracts and making big decisions that would impact our day. When we were stuck in a creative rut or needed ideas to make our wedding unique, she would jump on a call with us to discuss different options. Rachael and Shannon met with us and the venue coordinator the month before the wedding and created a master day of timeline that was literally our lifeline on the wedding day. She reached out to all our vendors the week of in order to ensure everyone was aware of where they needed to be and when so that nothing fell through the cracks. Her coordination is truly what helped us feel confident and secure in knowing our big day would be everything we ever dreamed of and go off without a hitch. Shannon came to our Rehearsal Dinner and conducted our ceremony rehearsal in a restaurant with lots of people and not much room, and made it work without any issues! Shannon was also there with us on the wedding day and she was absolutely incredible. We could not have asked for anything more. She kept us all organized, on track, and made sure everyone was where they needed to be at all times. She kept the mood upbeat and made sure my husband and I were always happy and involved in every decision (this was really important to us with all of the forecast uncertainty we were facing). She worked so well with the venue to ensure everything was set up correctly and in the proper place. She must have carried my bag and items up and down from my room to the ballroom about 500 times and never once complained. She is a total rockstar. We highly recommend Glass Slipper and are so grateful we had the opportunity to work with them!

Rachael is amazing!

My wedding was ABSOLUTELY perfect, and it’s all thanks to Rachael! She recommended all these amazing vendors, she coordinated everything the day of, helped with the decorations, had a plan b for in case it rained (which it did), everything! The entire day was seamless and we were actually able to ENJOY our own wedding day knowing she was taking care of everything for us. 1000% recommend! Every little recommendation she made came in handy. She thinks of everything you haven’t even considered. Hire her!

Detail-Oriented, Professional, Amazing!

I wish I were having another wedding so I could hire Rachael again. I'm very organized and tried coordinating my first micro wedding on my own on 9/19/2020 - and after that - I realized I needed to hire someone for our wedding reception on 9/4/2021. I reached out to Rachael and as soon as we spoke, I knew she was perfect. She is extremely detail-orientated and very organized. We also had a lot of vendors and she was able to seamlessly create the schedule (as well as timelines for the vendors and my bridal party so everyone knew exactly where they needed to be at what time). She was so helpful throughout the process as well, including when we were picking out vendors (like the shuttle). I didn't have to worry about anything on our wedding day because I knew that Rachael had everything under control. If you don't think you need a coordinator, take it from a fellow bride that (1) you do and (2) you should hire Rachael as your coordinator. I will definitely recommend Rachael to my family and friends.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

I worked with Glass Slippers Weddings at a recent wedding I officiated. Rachael and Crystal were consummate professionals throughout the event. Rachael organized and offered assistance, staging the ceremony rehearsal. She has a calming and efficient personality, both excellent qualities for a wedding planner. Crystal worked hard behind-the-scenes and due to her wedding planning skills, the event went ever so smoothly! I hope to work with the talented professionals of Glass Slipper Weddings again. ~Reverend Ryan AbunDanceWeddings.com
