Can't imagine a better wedding planner

I absolutely cannot recommend Rachel Kendall Events more for any event planning you need. We just had our wedding on Saturday, and it went PERFECTLY thanks to Rachel and her team. From start to finish, Rachel was by our side, keeping us organized and ensuring every single detail was taken care of. Without Rachel, I never in a million years could have planned such a beautiful day. Rachel makes sure that the only thing you have to think about is enjoying yourself while she handles the rest - as a bride, I didn't have to worry about a single thing throughout the event, and it went off without a hitch! It is truly unbelievable how dedicated she is to her clients throughout the process, and we couldn't be more grateful.

She is also such a delightful person! We loved getting to work with her and my bridesmaids were obsessed with her/her teammates. LOVE HER!

Every couple planning a wedding NEEDS Rachel!!

Rachel was the wedding planner for my sister-in-law two years ago, and from that moment, I knew she was exactly who I would want to plan my own wedding.

This past Saturday was finally my wedding day, and Rachel was truly incredible from start to finish. She helped coordinate all of our vendors, created and managed our timeline, scheduled calls throughout the planning process to make sure my wants and needs were heard, and was always there as an amazing sounding board. She is a true miracle worker!

There are SO many moving parts that come with planning a wedding, and with Rachel, you can trust that she will think of every little detail, keep everything moving, and do everything she can to make your day perfect. Having her there allowed us to actually enjoy our wedding day without worrying about what was happening behind the scenes.

We absolutely recommend Rachel and are so grateful she was such a special part of our day!!!!

Hire RKE if you want a stress free wedding

Bottom line up front: yes you need a wedding planner and yes you should hire Rachel. From our initial interest call we knew immediately Rachel was organized, experienced, and could handle any drama and execute our unique vintage vision with a lot of moving parts as we brought a lot of our own decor. From reviewing contracts, going to the rentals appointment with us, answering so many of our questions, to handling the 2 months leading up the wedding, Rachel exceeded our expectations. The single best thing was being to actually enjoy our wedding since Rachel and her team on the day of handled literally everything. You do not want to spend your time or stress wrangling vendors, family, or whatever pops up leading up to and during the big day. The detailed timeline Rachel developed and the precise coordination with a dozen vendors was impressive. We love you Rachel!

You Couldn't Ask For Someone Better

Rachel and her team were truly incredible! At the start of wedding planning, we really did not know how much help we needed. We hired Rachel to not only coordinate our wedding a month out but also design the entire day from start to finish. She was attentive, flexible, and the perfect advisor/coach/partner for couple that had a vision, but lacked the know-how and connections to execute. She was there every step of the way, offering suggestions, keeping us on schedule, and ensuring that everything, from florals to music to the color of plates, was seamless.

We've had friends describe the stress of wedding day and we cannot relate all due to Rachel and team. Neither of us touched our phones, lifted a finger, or were stressed about any logistics from the moment we woke up till we went to bed due to the trust we had in Rachel and team.

We are beyond grateful for Rachel and cannot stop recommending her to everyone we know planning their own special day. She was instrumental in executing a perfect day!

Rachel's polish, care, and professionalism made all the difference!

Working with Rachel as our wedding coordinator was one of the best decisions we made during our wedding planning process. From the very beginning, I was drawn to her incredible organization and she exceeded every expectation.

Even before our official planning window began, Rachel set us up for success with a thoughtfully organized Google Drive that included checklists, packing lists, décor folders, and vendor contract organization. It made the entire process feel manageable and clear from day one. By the time we formally started working together, she already had a deep understanding of our vendors and vision, and had built a detailed timeline as if she had been part of the planning process all along.

Throughout the experience, Rachel was an invaluable thought partner. She gave us guidance when we needed it, helped us think through decisions, and was always there as a steady, reassuring presence.

On the wedding day itself, Rachel brought such a sense of calm, order, and professionalism. We truly didn’t have to lift a finger. If anything went wrong, we never knew about it—everything felt completely seamless and effortless. One of the things I appreciated most was how intentional she was with the timeline. The day never felt rushed; we had the space to fully enjoy every moment, from getting ready to our first look to family photos.

Rachel played such a huge role in making our wedding feel exactly how we hoped it would—joyful, smooth, and deeply enjoyable. We felt supported every step of the way, and her polish, care, and professionalism made all the difference. We are so grateful for everything she did and couldn’t recommend her more highly.

If You Book Anyone, Book Rachel- Worth Every Penny and Then Some

Rachel was truly the best decision we made for our wedding.
It honestly felt like she was inside the bride’s brain. Every time we mentioned an idea, she already had a thoughtful, strategic plan to bring it to life. She is creative, has an incredible aesthetic eye, and balances vision with flawless execution.
Her organization is unmatched. From the moment we woke up on our wedding day, every minute was accounted for. Everyone was moved forward, kept on task, and guided seamlessly through the day. If there were any issues ; we have absolutely no idea .. because she handled everything. From complicated family dynamics and difficult personalities to vendor or venue adjustments, she managed it all calmly and ahead of schedule.
She went above and beyond in ways that truly mattered, making sure we spent time together, making sure we ate, making sure we were present. That level of care is rare.
When you book with Rachel, you get Rachel. She is hands-on from start to finish. She does not pass you off to someone else. If you tell her what you want, she will deliver, and likely exceed it.
We cannot recommend her enough. 5 Stars isn't enough. If we had more we would give them

Middleburg Wedding with RKE

Rachel was absolutely amazing and such a pleasure to work with. I could not imagine getting through the day without her! She took care of all the little details so nothing would be left out as well as making sure everything ran on time and everyone was where they were supposed to be. Her talent and passion for event planning shines through in everything she is hired to do. Would recommend her services to anyone planning a wedding or huge event. Thank you so much RKE

From a DJ who has worked with Rachel Kendall Events

I'm a DJ, primarily for weddings, and I'm very happy to highlight the work of other vendors, especially exceptional wedding planners like Rachel. I play weddings almost every weekend of the year, and I see what a valuable role the planner has in keeping things running smoothly. Rachel was the coordinator for a wedding I did on Nov 15th 2025, and I was impressed with her commitment, her attention to detail, and the support she gave to the rest of us on the team. This was true for the preparation ahead of time, and also on the big day. For myself but also the photographers and venue staff, she was present and available, went over details with us, both listened as well as making recommendations, and was calm, cool, and cheerful the whole time. She was just as supportive of the couple, their families, and the guests. Rachel Kendall Events exemplifies the level of professionalism that vendors in our industry aim for! -Neal
