Working with Rachael as our month-of wedding coordinator was one of the very best decisions we made for our wedding. Planning a wedding can be so stressful--there are so man decisions to make, tons of vendors to wrangle, and tons of logistics to go over. Even before month-of coordination kicked off, Rachael made the planning process as easy as possible by providing resources, guidance, and connections.

During month of, I can't imagine going through the process without her-Her expertise, organizational skills, industry knowledge, and calming presence are amazing.

The end result was that we had the wedding of our dreams, and were actually able to be present and enjoy it--On the day of our wedding, my husband and I spent our time connecting with our guests, eating delicious food, dancing, and connecting with each other, without having to worry about anything else (besides getting dressed!) because we knew Rachael was taking care of everything.

We'd work Rachael again in a heartbeat, and you should work with her too!

Collaborating with Rachael as our month-of-coordinator and creative planner was THE best decision my husband and I could have made for our big day. From our first meeting to the day of the wedding, Rachael's professionalism, organizational skills, and keen-eye for creative ideas helped bring our dream wedding to life. Me and my husband had most of our major vendors picked out by the time we started working together, but in the end she seamlessly brought all of the vendors and planning together keeping us stress-free throughout the whole process. We did not have to lift a finger on the day of the wedding thanks to her. We held our 145 person wedding at Barndiva Restaurant in Healdsburg and she was able to keep all vendors and guests aligned down to the minute of the wedding day schedule. This was VERY crucial to me and my husband as half of our bridal party and immediate family got stuck in the hotel elevator for an hour before the ceremony. Even after the fact, Rachael was still able to effortlessly manage enough time for the first look, bridal party, and family photos. The ceremony even started on time after-all! I cannot stress how wonderful Rachael was to work with as she is patient, kind, and truly a master of her craft who always goes above and beyond. You would be in very good hands working with her. Thank you Rachael for everything!!!

Planning a wedding can be stressful. Planning a wedding in six months? Even more so. Enter Rachael Silard and her company Ruby + Rose. The thing I remember most clearly upon entering Rachael's office on Union St. was a sense of calm (the Sofia Rosé she offered us didn't hurt either). Little did I know at the time just how indispensable Rachael would come to be.

My wife dragged/took me to a lot of weddings in the years leading up to our nuptials and I came to the realization that no matter the size or cost of the wedding, the devil was in the details. From the flowers, to the food, to the invitations, to the seating arrangements... she was with us every step of the way.

I've come to understand that a wedding is much like a symphony and without a conductor it can easily go off the rails. Ruby + Rose made sure everything ran smoothly, even on an accelerated timeline, in the months that led up to the wedding. There’s always going to be a minimum of one or two mishaps during the planning of a wedding but I can honestly say that with Rachael conducting we were never at a loss for what to do.

On the big day we were so at ease that we both were actually able to relax and concentrate on what mattered. And what more could a couple tying the knot ask for?

Sincerely,

robby and kaitlyn

We love Rachael! She was the month-of-coordinator for our SF wedding, and was instrumental in making the day absolutely perfect. She is super organized and thorough, to the point that she was able to catch mistakes from some of our other vendors. She has a great relationship with so many different people in the industry, and her experience working with so many venues, including ours, meant she was always thinking 5 steps ahead. We actually ended up adding some ad-hoc design consultation to our contract because of her great eye.

She also has a great communication style, and took every measure to make sure my mother, who was heavily involved in the wedding, felt included. I'm sure the family dynamic is challenging to navigate, but it always felt really natural with Rachael.

On the day of the wedding, she handled everything with grace and speed. If there were any issues, we didn't know about them because of how professional she and her team were. She kept us and our families calm and happy the whole night.

Highly recommend working with her for your next event!

Hiring Rachael and her team for month of and day of coordination was worth every penny! Rachael is everything you want and need from a coordinator - she's organized, thoughtful, quick to respond, knowledgeable, patient, and has a great eye for pulling the last minute details together beautifully. From our first meeting all the way until we said goodbye at the end of the night, it was evident that she sincerely wanted us to have the best day of our lives. Her confidence in the small details put both of our minds at ease, and the day went beautifully smoothly because of her efforts. We give her our highest recommendation!

Hiring Rachael for full planning was hands down the best decision we made for our wedding. What initially caught our eye about Rachel was her beautiful aesthetic but it was her professionalism, organization, punctuality, and friendly demeanor that sold us on working with her.

We chose the full planning package because my husband and I are very busy and we were overwhelmed with all of the choices we had to make - we needed someone to guide us through the process. Rachel's ability to break up the planning into manageable chunks stopped us from feeling overwhelmed or stressed, which in itself made working with her worth every penny.

Our wedding day was a dream. Rachael not only turned our vision into reality but also made the day run incredibly smoothly. Our guests were blown away by the attention to detail and we heard so many people say it was the most beautiful wedding they had ever attended. Whenever anyone asks what my number one tip is in planning a wedding, my answer is always "Hire Rachael!"

Rachael and her team are professional, responsible, knowledgeable, considerate, detail-oriented and fun to work with! As the mother of the bride, I knew there were a lot of details to tackle, but couldn't even imagined some of the details that Rachael pointed out and took care of. She really was amazing - all while making things relaxed and fun. Her skills were invaluable. She went beyond the call of duty in finding the perfect flowers, place settings, tables and other accessories. The large wedding weekend (wedding was nearly 180) went off without a hitch. Rachael handled volumes of details behind the scenes for several months. The venue was large and spread out but she had a finger on the pulse and her headset in constant communication with her team. The timing of the events were flawless. Rachael is an excellent communicator and has a talent for solving dilemmas and making all parties happy that are involved in the decision making. My daughter and her husband's wedding was a special day for the whole family and one we will always cherish. We are very thankful to Rachael and "Ruby & Rose" for their role in making it a "perfect day".

Hiring Ruby & Rose for our month-of coordination was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding day! By the time we started working together, we had hired pretty much all of our wedding vendors, but Rachael was so clutch in wrangling all of the vendors to make sure they were all on the same page for the wedding. Rachael was so incredibly organized; she was quick to respond to all emails, created a timeline for the day down to the minute, and guided all of our important wedding decisions with the help of her handy Google documents. During our venue walk-through, Rachael showed her experience and knowledge when she brought up ideas, concerns, and questions that we never would have considered.

On the wedding day itself, Rachael monitored all of the vendors closely to make sure every detail was perfect. She was such a calming presence and made sure to connect with key contacts in our wedding party so that we didn’t have any stress and we could truly enjoy our day. She answered questions from our parents and guests, kept us on track with the timeline for the day, and easily dealt with any unexpected issues that came up. She was even sweet enough to sneak me a dirty martini since she knew I wasn’t going to get a moment to steal away to the bar myself.

Rachael was such an incredible pleasure to work with. My husband and I would both highly recommend hiring Ruby & Rose for your wedding day!

Rachael was absolutely fantastic to work with for our wedding. Our wedding was the best day of our lives and it absolutely couldn't had happened without Rachael's help--she was completely instrumental in making it a success. From the start, she had extremely great communication skills, and guided us through the many questions and things to consider for a wedding. I felt so comfortable on my day knowing all the details (small and large) were in Rachael's hands--and everything went perfectly! A true professional, Rachel has a real passion for making wedding dreams come to life. She also has excellent taste and is so knowledgeable about etiquette, traditions, and all the best practices of weddings. She's the real deal! I could not give a more glowing recommendation.

Rachael is incredible! I cannot say enough great things about her, and the overall experience we had with Ruby & Rose. My husband and I got married in the Bay Area last May 2017. We knew we wanted to plan much of it ourselves, and we decided to work with Rachael for day-of planning. She provided us with SO much beyond that. I had a good feeling in our initial meeting. She is an ultimate professional, while warm and friendly. She put our minds at ease about various questions/problems and was responsive well before the wedding. The weekend of ran smoothly, thanks to Rachael and her team. She kept our family, friends and guests organized and made sure we had some quiet time (and food). I highly recommend Ruby & Rose for any event.
