Absolutely Perfect

From start to finish, she was an absolute pleasure to work with, and we truly appreciated how she took care of every detail, big and small. From the first meeting to the big day, she made everything so easy for us. I didn't have to stress about anything during the planning process. Everything ran so smoothly. Many of our guests were blown away by how well everything came together. She really brought our vision to life, and we’re so thankful for her hard work and creativity. I would definitely recommend her to anyone who’s getting married!

Alpharetta, GA Wedding - February 2024

If I could give 6 stars I would. I was a Bride who didn't love the whole wedding planning process but Rachel truly made the process easy to follow and helped me feel calm and supported throughout the entire process. Not a single thing went wrong throughout the entire day thanks to Rachels amazing planning & coordination. My vendors RAVED about her in the months leading up to our wedding. They were so impressed with her level of organization and communication. Not once during the day did I have to worry about where to be and when, Rachel was always right there to support but she also gave me and my husband the space to be able to enjoy our day without having to worry about event coordination. I wouldn't work with anyone else but Rachel if I had to do it all over again. She is the best of the best! Thank you, Rachel!!!

The Best Wedding Coordinator/Planner in the Raleigh Durham Area!

If I could give more than five stars, I absolutely would! Rachel went above and beyond from when we hired her to even after the wedding day. She is quick to respond, well-organized, and understanding. We hired her for her event management and were blown away by the level of support, attention to detail, and care she showed during the entire planning process and the wedding day itself. From the morning into evening of our wedding day, Rachel seemed to be everywhere at once. She not only assisted in set up but coordinated the entire day and finished packing everything up at the end of the night. We enjoyed ourselves the entire day, and I can guarantee our wedding would not have been as perfect as it was if we didn't have Rachel. I can't thank her enough for everything she did, and absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a seamless, picture-perfect wedding day.

Dickson Wedding

Firstly, Rachel was amazing to work with throughout the entire process. We contracted for “day of” services but felt like she was there to help us and answer any questions through our entire journey. Rachel was great at communicating with all of our vendors. Even when our venue was slow to respond to our communication Rachel stayed on top of it and made sure they followed up with us. She met with us multiple times in person before the wedding, she helped with our timeline, she organized all of vendors, and over saw everything during our wedding. On our wedding day things were happening behind the scenes and I never had to worry about anything. I would highly recommend Rachel to anyone looking for a wedding planner!

Rachel is a must hire!!!

Rachel is a must hire!!! Not only was she so organized and ensured our wedding weekend ran smoothly but her kindness and overall presence put everyone at ease and I didn't stress for one second on wedding day. She was in constant communication with us leading up to the wedding weekend and she made sure my husband and I felt prepared and had all details thought through. I've been in a lot of weddings and met many wedding planners and coordinators and she truly is the best! Can't recommend her enough!

The Best Decision

We hired Rachel as our wedding coordinator after our venue (Glen-Ella Springs Inn) recommended her to us. We are so happy with our decision because we quite literally could not have had as beautiful of a wedding day without her and her assistant Danielle. Through the entire process Rachel was wonderful to work with. She provided helpful guidance early on in the planning, and when we got closer to our wedding date she gladly adjusted timelines, answered many questions, and kindly worked with our other vendors prepping for the big day. All of the vendor recommendations that Rachel provided to us that we used were also wonderful! She is very knowledgeable about the GA/NC wedding industry. Rachel is patient and it is apparent she has the ability to work with many types of personalities.
The rehearsal and wedding day were executed to perfection. Rachel had such a calm presence and made sure everything went according to plan. Rachel set up the décor and inventory better than I could have imagined and made last minute decisions and changes to her best discretion without making me think about any of those little details the day of the wedding. Rachel is a professional and expert in her field. The list could go on for all the little details she helped us with. I would hire her again and again because I know that her high standard of work was one of the major reasons our wedding was such a success! Thank you Rachel & Slauer Events for everything!

Thank you, Rachel!

Rachel did a wonderful job helping coordinate everything for our wedding. Our ceremony and reception were in two different locations and her behind the scenes work with all of our vendors helped make both go so smoothly. Her organization and calm presence were exactly what we needed day-of! Highly recommend her services!

A Must Hire

I cannot say enough good things about this vendor. We worked with both Rachel and Danielle. And both went above and beyond for us. While we we booked them for event management - but they were engaged every step of the way. They provided great ideas/solutions and helped me organize the chaos of planning. They also went above and beyond in set up, as we did a lot of DIY. Multiple vendors told us what a joy they were to work with and the day went so smoothly. I HIGHLY recommend hiring them for your event!

Best Wedding Planner!!

Hiring Rachel as our wedding planner was by far the best decision we made. We came into this not knowing anything about planning a wedding, or all of the detail needed for the day to go off without a problem. Rachel not only made it so we were not worried about missing something important for our wedding through her constant communication but also helped fulfill (and improve!) our vision. Our wedding day was everything and more we had imagined, in large part because of her. On the wedding day we were able to be fully present to enjoy the love and happiness knowing that Rachel and her team were handling the many, many details needed to make the day a success. You cannot go wrong with Rachel as your wedding planner!

Best Decision Ever!!

We worked with Rachel for our February 2023 wedding and it was hands down the best decision we made during the planning process. What could have been an extremely stressful time was made so enjoyable by Rachel and her team!

Rachel was so attentive and informative throughout the planning process and always helped to answer my millions of questions or calm me down when I started to panic over minute details.

She was so incredibly organized and detailed and that was so important to me as an extremely type A personality. She was always patient with us and supported all of our ideas. Not only is she incredibly kind, but incredibly professional as well. She handled the day of our wedding with such ease! It was truly one of the most magical and stress-free days and for that we could not be more grateful.

If you are looking for someone to help plan and support your big day look no further than Slauer Events & Design!!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
