The dream team!

Haley and Leighann are the BEST! From our first phone call, I knew that they were the perfect match for our destination wedding! They are both so organized, detailed, kind, (and FUN!) and offered so much help and advice along the way as we were planning. I still can’t get over the amazing and detailed timeline that they created for us, our wedding party and vendors. They took the time to get to know us and what was important to us so they always had our best interests at heart. I had so many people tell me I didn’t seem stressed or nervous on the day of my wedding – and I truly have the RaeBird girls to thank for that. They had all the details taken care of and I was so confident that they had everything under control. We had the most perfect wedding day followed by an amazing & fun reception. I am so grateful for Haley and Leighann and I can’t imagine our day without them!

Best Wedding Planners Ever

I truly can’t put into words how incredible my experience was with RaeBirds. Leighann and Haley are exceptional wedding planners, and as the bride, I can confidently say that they were vital in making our special day absolutely perfect. Their unwavering dedication and remarkable attention to detail truly made all the difference.

Despite being an out-of-town (Atlanta, GA) event for Leighann and Haley, their commitment to ensuring everything was organized and executed flawlessly was nothing short of impressive. From the very beginning, they embraced the challenge with open arms and went above and beyond to accommodate our every request. Their willingness to work with us from a distance was a testament to their professionalism and passion for their craft.

What truly set Leighann and Haley apart was their joyous personalities and infectious enthusiasm. Their positive energy and genuine love for what they do brought a sense of warmth and comfort to the entire planning process… not to mention easing all anxiety on the big day. They were always approachable and a pleasure to work with and furthermore, consistently demonstrated a level of care and understanding that made us feel like we were their top priority.

Their ability to seamlessly execute all of our needs and wants, including the smallest of details, was truly remarkable. It was evident that they invested a great deal of time and effort into understanding our vision, and their creativity and expertise shined through in every aspect of the event. They took our ideas and turned them into a reality that far exceeded our expectations.

I cannot recommend RaeBirds enough and I am so grateful to have had them by our side throughout this incredible journey. I am confident that anyone who has the pleasure of working with them will be as thrilled with the results as we were. They are, without a doubt, a dynamic and extraordinary team.

You Need These Ladies On Your Team!!

I had zero intention of hiring a wedding planner, but holy crap I am SO happy we did!! Planning a destination wedding was fun but also difficult because I couldn't just hop on a plane and go check something out. It was so reassuring to have eyes and ears down in Florida when I couldn't be. Haley and Leighann were the absolute best through out the entire process. They helped ease my planning process and made our wedding day better than I could have ever dreamed. If you are contemplating hiring RaeBird, DO IT!! One of the best decisions I made!

Hi there, Haley here! I am an Arkansas native who now claims Florida as Home. I grew up in Little Rock, Arkansas and graduated from the University of Arkansas in 2014, WOO PIG! My passion and attention to detail has been engrained in me for years but my enthusiasm for weddings + events came after planning my own! I can’t wait to help provide the same joy I felt on my wedding day to all of our future brides. Outside of planning weddings + events with RaeBird, I am likely at the beach, sipping a glass of Pinot Noir & spending time with handsome husband, Andy and our dog,Crew.
