Philicia C. Married on 06/26/2021Raquel gives you the freedom to actually enjoy your wedding day!
A pandemic should have made my wedding a beautiful ball of stress. From family to friends and everything in between, our research led us to thousands of fears related to everything that could possibly go wrong with our wedding. Then, Raquel joined in to provide decor and Day of Coordination services. She had a way of foreseeing the types of stressors and responded in a calm way that showed us that our worries were universal. Raquel was honestly my right hand during the planning process, she provided beautiful options to decorate our guest, memorial and sweetheart table and created our seating chart. The reception hall looked stunning thanks to Raquel and her team! On the big day, Raquel ensured I had no worries- she handled every problem before I even knew it existed. Florist forgot to add in additional flowers I requested ?Here comes Raquel with a new and improved bouquet in time for the ceremony. Room service forgot to deliver breakfast to the groom and groomsmen? Here comes Raquel with a prompt follow up and personally ensuring my future husband has a bite to eat. Raquel navigated problematic family members with grace, followed up with all my vendors and kept us on time. My family could not stop remarking on how wonderful everything looked and the way the day ran- we really have Raquel and her team to thank. Raquel was such a huge support during this process. She ensured I was able to enjoy my wedding day instead of stressing over it. Hire her; she is more than worth it.Here and Now Events's reply:
Oh this makes my heart sing! The pandemic presented so much stress, uncertainty and a dark cloud over events. It warms my heart to know I was able to troubleshoot problems for you and allow you to have the wedding of your dreams. We pride ourselves in being problem solvers, having a keen eye to those things that could try to derail an event and to really be able to counteract that and count it all joy! It was an honor and a privilege to be a part of your beautiful love story. Many years of health, blessings and more love! -
