Wedding to remember

Working with Raina was flawless. She was professional, extremely responsive , paid attention to all the details. She even intervened when there were hiccups or questions with the venue etc. Her recommendation for vendors turned out to far surpass our expectations with what they delivered. Overall, it was an outstanding experience. I would highly recommend using Raina and her team.

Raina and her team were exceptional!!!

Raina and her team exceeded our expectations as our wedding planner for our wedding at the Noelle hotel in Nashville. She was easy to reach whenever we needed her and was able to answer all our questions. From the beginning, she expertly coordinated with our DJ, florist, and hotel staff. Raina's meticulous attention to detail and foresight ensured that she took care of every aspect, even things we hadn't thought of. Our wedding day was flawless and unforgettable, thanks to Raina's exceptional planning skills. Highly recommended!

Absolutely the best experience!

We cannot say enough great words about Raina and her team! From start to finish, Raina was wonderful, pleasant and easy to work with. She was a calming influence throughout the whole process. As the mother of the bride, I could not have done this without her! Every detail was attended to, and I was able to focus on enjoying our daughter's wedding day without one worry. We live in Texas, and the wedding was three states away in Tennessee. During the months and weeks leading up to the wedding, Raina helped me to navigate planning from long distance, connecting us to the best vendors and helping us to create the wedding our daughter and her (now) husband dreamed of. The day of the wedding, every last detail was planned to the minute, giving us all peace of mind that everything was in place so we were able to enjoy the most perfect day. My advice to anyone planning a wedding: hire a wedding coordinator! My biggest advice to anyone planning a wedding in the Nashville area...HIRE RAINA VAN SETTER, WEDDINGS AND EVENTS BY RAINA (unless we decide to kidnap her and bring her to Texas)! You will be so happy you did!

Past Bride

Weddings & Events by Raina was absolutely fantastic our wedding day and planning process was great with the knowledge and experience both Raina and her team have when it comes to planning and executing a bride's vision. Raina was responsive and knowledgeable I felt I could ask her any question and get the answer or she would find it out for me.

Perfection!

Should you hire a wedding coordinator? YES! Should you hire Raina? YES!
Our daughter’s wedding was in June and her wedding was PERFECTION! We have Raina to thank for that! She took care of so many things we would have never thought of on our own. She kept us on schedule which is extremely important! Raina’s vendor recommendations were so helpful and she has a great working relationship with all of them! She is incredibly timely with her responses to texts, emails, and phone calls and she is extremely organized! I’m not sure when she sleeps! Her “Day of Wedding” service is so much more than day of. Additionally, Raina’s staff was amazing. There will always be little things that happen on the wedding day, but if you hire Raina, that’s all they will be…just little things that no one even notices. Raina allowed me and my family to just sit back and enjoy the most beautiful day with our daughter, her new husband and all of our family and friends. Those are memories that last forever! So if this is what you are looking for…Raina is your person!

Working with Raina is a Dream!

Raina and her team were a pleasure to work with, right from the very start. From the initial consult, Raina helped to capture my perfect wedding day. While I knew the general idea of what I wanted my ceremony and reception to be like, Raina helped hook me up with vendors that would create the vision that I desired. Every vendor she recommended was a dream, too!

Other than being available almost any time of day, Raina was a wealth of knowledge and the team that she brought along on the day of the wedding were amazing, too. I didn’t have to worry about a single thing on the morning – Raina handled all the vendors, setting out last minute décor, helping the gentleman pin their boutonnieres, helped me with my dress, and so much more. Anita even held my hand when I was nervous during the ceremony line up. Literally, all I had to worry about was looking nice and enjoying the morning with my family and friends.

Whether you hire Raina and her team on just a day of basis or for a more, in depth wedding planning, I’m positive you can’t go wrong with her and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her services to future brides to be!

Raina - The Miracle Worker

Raina and her team were absolutely amazing. She is organized, professional, well-connected, and supportive. We couldn't have pulled off our wedding without her. She immediately took stress off of us from the first call and made sure our special day was enjoyable. She took care of every detail. If you are looking for a premier wedding or event planner at a great value, Raina is the go-to person. She also supports the LGBTQIA community, and treated us with respect. Working with her and her team was a true highlight of our wedding! Thank you for everything Raina!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

Raina and her crew made The Whitefiled's wedding seem like a dream. The venue looked beautiful and everything moved so seamlessly! Even down to an employee opening and closing the door for guests as they made their way through the buffet. (easier for the guests and helped keep the cold air inside!) As a wedding DJ/MC I see a lot of wedding either without a coordinator or with a bad one and let me tell you it makes a huge difference! You will not be disappointed with Raina and her staff!

Wedding & Events by Raina is outstanding! Raina and her team provide so much professionalism mixed with personality and care. "On top of it" doesn't even adequately describe the amount of thoughtfulness and attention to detail that Raina and her team bing to the table. I've worked with Wedding & Events by Raina for weddings as well as other events, and they go all out to provide a smooth and enjoyable experience for everyone. Highly recommend!
