Incredible experience

If I could give Rachael an infinite amount of stars, I would. Rachael went above and beyond - yes, she helped me with my vision, but she did so much more than that. She helped me with my vendors - Rachael has a background in law and was an excellent resource to have by my side when negotiating COVID terms in contracts. She helped me with my plans to move to a micro wedding. She helped with the "fun" details I would have otherwise overlooked. Most importantly, she helped me feel as grounded as possible and was the best thing I could have done for myself (and honestly, my relationship).

I selected Rachael as my wedding planner based on excellent reviews from other couples, and they all rang to be true. Do not hesitate to reach out to her and hear what she has to offer - you will be happy you did!

Rachelle is the best!

Hiring Rachelle was the best decision we made. We thought we could plan our wedding alone, and 6 months in we realized we need help. We hired Rachelle and since day one she took over and took charge of everything. She helped us finalize the vendors, the timeline, she helped us hire a trio to play during Cocktail hour. But most importantly she was there in charge on our wedding da, which allowed us to have a blast. Thank you Rachelle!

Amazing Service !

Rachael and her team did such a beautiful job with our wedding. My husband and I wanted something simple but beautiful and they really delivered. When we arrived to the venue it really took my breath away. The photographer and officiant they suggested we’re great too! Definitely will be using them again for my next event !

Timely, organized, and flexible

Rachael fought for my husband and I to build the wedding of our dreams. Even with COVID restrictions, she helped us find a way to hold onto our resources and not settle for a wedding we didn’t want.
I would HIGHLY recommend Rachael to anyone looking for a fun and organized experience.

Winter Vegas Wedding

It’s been just over one month since our winter wedding. Just enough time to reflect and realize just what a special time this was for Jason and me. And it wouldn’t have been possible without Rachael and Tim. They created the wedding event we both wanted. We wanted a Las Vegas wedding that didn’t feel like a “Vegas wedding” … that is until Elvis made his perfectly timed appearance. From the first phone call to the last text, they listened and heard our desires, they were responsive to any and all questions along the way, they were attentive to the details I requested, they were exceptional at giving well-earned advice that created the flow and feel we wanted. They even kept Elvis a complete secret until he sang our walk-out song. When they were working our wedding, we were their only focus. I never felt like just another client. That is a gift and very appreciated.

I appreciate you both so much. The care, the detail, the communication, the coordination, the expertise. You both are gifted, and I consider myself blessed to have been married with your support!

Attention to detail and thoughtful care throughout the experience!

Rachael and Tim helped us out with a fairly complex private corporate event at an upscale venue in Las Vegas. They were available for meetings and a walkthrough in advance of the event and very attentive to requests for calls, etc.

They spent time researching our themes and decor purchasing, as well as liaising with our venue before the event, as well as booking additional help to facilitate set up and our guest check-in process.

On the day of the event their team was essential to getting everything done on time. I leaned on them heavily for their event production expertise and they did not disappoint!
When it become clear we were short-staffed, they also found and hired a third event helper on short notice and did not charge for it.

If you want your big day to be a success, I cannot recommend Rachael's Custom Events enough! Their careful attention to detail as well as patience when dealing with a stressed corporate event producer (myself) was second to none.

Thoroughly impressed, will be using them again!

Very Impressed!

Rachael and her team are a dynamic trio who created a wonderful birthday party experience for my husband. Rachael provided valuable assistance in every aspect of planning this event, from locating the right venue, a photographer, the decorations, linens, table settings and music. I feel the cost was reasonable and the implementation of the event was perfection.

Stress-free professionalism

I feel like our lasting memory of our wedding experience would have been completely different if not for Rachel and Tim. Thanks to them, not only was our planning experience SO MUCH easier and stress free, when it came to the day of they let us focus on the most important part, each other. We weren't worried about vendors, our guests getting fed, or our decorations being the way we wanted them. All of it was taken care of without us having to even think about it. We will always just remember how much fun we had, both during planning and during our day. It wouldn't have been the same without them.
