Autumn Sent on 12/27/2022A dream of a day with a dream team
Where to even begin, I found Rachael from Bad Boss Bride a little shy of a year from my wedding date. I was immediately drawn to all of their work; their style is exactly how I wanted my wedding to look and feel. I hadn't found any other wedding planners who doubled as florists, it felt meant to be, and after having the most amazing day of my life, it was definitely meant to be.
From the beginning, Rachael was very communicative and super helpful, keeping me calm and helping me understand what I needed to do and what to expect. Something no one tells you about weddings, because how would you know when you haven't done it before, is how much work and planning go into it; I had picked a venue where everything needed to be hired: Catering, Band, Florals, Rentals, etc. Rachael helped assure me every step of the way, created lists based on my needs and wants (dietary restrictions & venue restrictions) of vendors that would be a good fit, and then worked with all of my vendors to create the most seamless day. Every time I felt somewhat panicked, I was able to text or email and my worries were gone.
The weeks leading up to my wedding were the most stressful weeks, and Rachael was on top of *everything*. I wanted a lounge area, Rachael made it happen. I wanted a back-up weather day-of option, Rachael made it happen. Every tiny thing I worried about, Rachael had a back-up, it was the most stressful, stress-free two weeks and I can't thank the team enough. Every minor detail, every contact, just, everything. If anything went wrong the day of, I had no idea. I hired Bad Boss Bride for their ultimate package, including design help, florals, and day of coordination, and it was the best decision I made for the wedding. Rachael took all of my ideas, made them better, and brought them to life in the most fairy-tale, dream of a wedding day I could have imagined. The visuals, florals, the setups, just, everything was beautiful. I never imagined I would have a magazine wedding, but I did, and it was all Rachael's doing. My wedding was perfect, I can't recommend Bad Boss Bride enough.

Kelly Sent on 02/06/2025Amazing experience with Rachael and the team!
I worked with Rachael for my Dec 2024 wedding and I cannot say enough great things. From the initial introduction phone call to the numerous meetings we had throughout the year, she always listened to my thoughts and helped me pivot in the right direction when I needed guidance. Being someone who had no knowledge of the floral and design world prior to working with her, she understood my vision better than I could even articulate. I would recommend Rachael to anyone who needs a floral or designer, she was great to work with! -

Brittany Sent on 12/14/2024Our Wedding Dreams Came True Thanks to BBB!
I can't recommend Rachael and her team at BBB enough! We hired them for floral design, décor, and coordination, and I’m so glad we did. Rachael came highly recommended by my wedding photographer best friend, and she absolutely exceeded every expectation. Not only is she incredibly talented, but her calm presence eased my stress during the hectic final month of planning.
Rachael took me and my husband’s scattered ideas and turned them into a stunning, cohesive vision—all while staying within budget. She even helped us upgrade our reception décor into an elegant, romantic setup with deep burgundy napkins, black plates, and gold silverware. The transformation was magical and everything I dreamt of!
What stood out most to me with Rachael, was the sense of calm I felt every time we spoke. Rachael made me feel confident that everything was in good hands. She took care of all the details, allowing me to focus on enjoying the process. On our wedding day, she and her team handled every detail seamlessly, and I never once felt overwhelmed or stressed. Thanks to Rachael, I was able to fully enjoy every moment of our special day.
If you're looking for a talented, organized, and supportive wedding planner or floral designer, I wholeheartedly recommend Rachael at BBB. She made our wedding unforgettable, and I’m forever grateful for her hard work and expertise! -

Alexandra Sent on 11/30/2024Dream Wedding Planner
We had a wonderful experience working with Rachael and the entire Bad Boss Bride team for our wedding. Her checklists and frequent planning meetings kept us on track for the duration of our planning process. With her vast knowledge of the area and relationships with vendors, she was able to assist us in rounding out our team and with her skillful and artistic design, supported us in realizing the wedding of our dreams, perfectly balancing our vision with the needs of our guests. As a certified #anxiousbride, I truly felt not a care in the world on my wedding day because I knew I was in Rachael's deft and expert hands. I would highly recommend her for all weddings, big and small! -

Kathleen Sent on 11/21/2024Choosing Bad Boss Bride for florals, design, and coordination was one of my best decisions during the wedding planning process.
Rachael was the best to work with for our wedding florals, design, and coordination. She took the time to understand our vision and brought it to life. From the time I found her instagram page, I knew I had to work with her. Many photos from previous wedding shared on her page quickly went on my vision board. She brought that vision to life for our 11/1/24 wedding. Everything looked flawless. We also had Rachael help with one month our coordination. There are a lot of details you need to go over that month (especially week of the wedding) and Rachael eliminated a lot of the stress. She had a concise timeline and communicated with all of our vendors to ensure everyone was on the same page. Can't recommend Rachael and her team enough! -

Lindsay Sent on 07/12/2024Beautiful centerpiece, professional, great communication, made everything so easy
Rachael made picking out florals easy for our wedding in March. She was helpful, gave us guidance, and made our vision come to life. The centerpiece was better than we could have imagined, the bouquets were beautiful, and the simplistic greenery on the guests' tables tied everything together. Thank you Rachael for making everything such a seamless process! -

Dimitra Sent on 07/07/2024Beautiful wedding florals!
I worked with Rachael from Bad Boss Bride for our wedding florals and was so happy with the beautiful result! The planning process was very organized and straightforward. At my follow-up meeting I had some changes to the color scheme that Rachael was so receptive to and perfectly matched for my event. At all contact points she was willing to work to match my budget and vision. I expressed concern about making my bridal bouquet match my petite frame and she hit it out of the park - it was beautiful and perfectly sized. She also worked so well with my planner Kris (unKAGed events) to create a perfect romantic tablescape. I highly recommend!

Bad Boss Bride saved us from having to deal with many of the intricate details required with planning *and* throwing the best weekend of our lives. without her and her team, things would have been completely overwhelming. It was the single best investment to ensure a cohesive wedding was executed perfectly without stress. Thanks Rachael for taking care of everything. We and our guests still talk about that weekend 2 years later. -

Brittany Sent on 04/22/2024The absolute best in jersey!
We are over the moon with gratitude for Rachael's incredible work as our wedding planner! From the moment we met her, we knew she was the one to turn our wedding vision into reality.
Despite being a busy couple with a specific vision, Rachael worked tirelessly with us for over a year to bring every detail to life. From conceptualizing the theme to selecting florals, arranging seating charts, and even coordinating rentals (disco balls and drag entertainment included!), Rachael made the entire process a breeze.
Her creativity, attention to detail, and professionalism truly set her apart. Rachael's passion for her work shines through in every aspect of the planning process. She listened attentively to our ideas and preferences, offering invaluable guidance and support every step of the way.
Thanks to Rachael's dedication and expertise, our wedding day was everything we dreamed of and more. We cannot thank her enough for her hard work, patience, and unwavering commitment to making our special day absolutely perfect.
If you're looking for a wedding planner who will go above and beyond to bring your vision to life, look no further than Rachael. She's an absolute gem, and we couldn't be happier with the results!
Thank you, Rachael, for making our wedding dreams a reality! -

Rachel at bad boss bridal is a floral dream come true. Everything was done perfectly. Leading up to the wedding it honestly seemed too good to be true. Everything I wanted and more without breaking the bank. I have not stopped talking about how great my florist was and have been recommending her to every single one of my engaged friends! -

Rachael was a pleasure to work with! She was both our coordinator and our florist. She made the entire wedding planning process feel stress free and handled every situation behind the scenes to ensure that our day was exactly how we pictured it! Our florals were absolutely beautiful. We had specific ideas on where/how we wanted our florals arranged. Rachael executed our vision even better than we could’ve imagined. On the day of, she came with her coworker Amanda who was also wonderful! They were kind, helpful and had the best energy! They made my husband and I feel at ease knowing that everything was handled and that we could fully enjoy our night! Bad Boss Brides is the real deal and we were so lucky to have them for our special day!! They are the BEST ever!! -

Jovanna Sent on 10/29/20238/2023 Wedding - Best Day Ever!
My fiance and I booked full wedding planning with Rachael and the Bad Boss Bride team and it was the best decision we ever made! If you are even on the fence I HIGHLY recommend booking with BBB.
From the first phone call to the day of, Rachael listened to who we were as a couple and truly created our perfect day.
She is very calm and comforting, helpful and informative without being overbearing.
She truly knows her vendors and clients and even with our research on vendors- she always ended up having the perfect pick for our vision from venue to photography and beyond.
Everyone expects wedding planning to be stressful (ourselves included), not once during the whole wedding planning process were we ever stressed or anxious. Our family and friends kept checking in and were confused how we were so calm :)
The best part about booking with BBB is that Rachael also does design and florals!
She knows her flowers, seasons and how to really make a room pop. She was able to give us honest suggestions and tell us if certain design elements/florals were needed or unnecessary for our venue and our vision all while staying in budget.
I asked to add tropical elements to the bridal and bridemaids bouquets and she even had specific flowers shipped from Canada! I'm still looking at pictures of my bouquet and obsessed with it :)
Rachael truly made this day even better than we both could have imagined. Even our family and friends are still raving about every aspect of the day! -

Sarah Sent on 08/01/2023No one like BBB!
From the very first phone call, it was clear that Bad Boss Bride wanted us to have the wedding of our dreams and was going to walk us through the process with a level of communication and professionalism that I had not received from other prospective planners. Rachael and her team actually listened to what we wanted and did not try to force us into a decision that did not feel right, which I think is what really sets them apart from other planners. They made us feel comfortable and confident that we would be able to move through the planning process while staying absolutely true to who we are. They worked hard to make our desires a reality within the confines of practicality, such as budget and an unconventional outdoor venue. I did not realize how much work planning a wedding would be, and they supported us through some very challenging moments. They really want you to be happy and feel supported throughout the process up until the wedding day. I am creative and really wanted to do some DIY projects. They supported me through them while also explaining what would work best for the reality of a wedding day. They understand the ins and outs of what could go wrong, and they made sure everything was in line for success on the day of. We decided to go with Rachael for our florals, and I'm so happy we did. She matched our vision so perfectly. I even preserved the flowers from my bouquet, which is something I never thought I'd do! Everything was visually stunning, and the day was truly perfect.
BBB really went above and beyond. If I had to do it again, I'd probably hire them for full planning from the very beginning. They are true professionals. I truly could not have done it without them. I am forever grateful.
If you're looking for a supportive, organized, communicative, design savvy, and incredibly helpful addition to your wedding team, hire BBB. They can do it all. -

Natalia Sent on 06/15/2023The BEST Vendor We Hired! Stress-free planning and design within your budget!
Without, Rachael, Taylor and the BadBossBride team, our wedding day would not have been the pure *magic* that it was.
When we started our wedding planning process, finding reliable vendors that coincided with our vision was challenging and overwhelming. Beyond that, I worried that I would spend our wedding day coordinating all the details we had worked so hard to plan that I wouldn't be able to let go and fully enjoy our day.
I had vetted several planners, most of whom were out of our budget range and made me feel as though they were trying to sell/pressure us too hard into signing with them. Then I met Rachael. Her calm demeanor and confidence instantly put me at ease and I knew BadBossBride would be a perfect fit for us. What I loved most about working with her is that she truly works to make your vision come to life while being respectful of your budget. I had a grand vision for what I wanted the florals in our ballroom to look like and the price for my vision gave me massive sticker shock. Rachael took the wheel and created a design and floral plan that not only realized that vision within our budget, but exceeded my expectations in its beauty.
Beyond that, I did not worry about one thing on my wedding day other than the excitement of meeting my sweet fiance at the end of the aisle. If anything went wrong that day, I sure as hell didn't know about it. My guests were RAVING about the smoothness of the day and how catered to they felt by Rachael's team. She made our 250 person wedding feel like the joyous celebration I had always dreamed of, filled with love, laughter and memories I'll never forget.
Rachael was integral in sourcing our photography, photobooth and transportation teams, designing and creating our flowers and decor (including signage and candles) and coordinating all of our vendors throughout our planning process.
I always hoped I'd be able to say my wedding day was the best day of my life and I'm so thankful to confidently scream that from the rooftops thanks to Rachael and her team. Don't hesitate- just book them!

Alexsandra Sent on 12/30/2022Less stress, more time to enjoy your wedding
When I got engaged two years ago, my first thought was immediate excitement. "Oh, this is going to be so much fun!" Which I think a lot of brides initially believe. Then for some, reality sets in. It can be really overwhelming to think about all the parts that go into wedding planning. Searching for a venue alone was the first monumental task that got me immediately going from excitement to freak out mode. Then came Rachael. I found her on instagram. Her page immediately spoke to me, with its laid back charm and unique designs. I knew I needed her. Our first call, we immediately clicked and the rest is history. Rachael and her team made the whole planning process a breeze. She was always able to ease my frantic thoughts and allowed me to bounce wedding design ideas around. Rachael was responsive and communicative. Whats even more awesome, is that she also does florals, which is a trait that not a lot of planners offer. This was super helpful and Rachael was able to create a beautiful ceremony and backdrop for our sweetheart table and keep us within budget. She also offers rentals for an extra special touch and her and Taylor were ON POINT for our big day. Bad Boss Bride will make your bespoke wedding dreams come true. We couldn't be happier! -

Isabella Sent on 12/30/2022A necessity, not an add-on
We had a great experience with BBB, particularly with Taylor who was our lead planner. My biggest regret is not booking BBB for their full package. Nevertheless, even with the partial planning package, we were kept organized with monthtly calls, reminders of what I needed to be thinking about, 5-star vendor recommendations, and support with our design. One highlight was our seating arrangement. Taylor dreamt up a design that I fell in love with and she executed it perfectly. See picture attached. Day of, she and her assistant were behind the scenes making sure everything ran smoothly so there was 0 stress for me and my groom. I don't know what I would have done without BBB! -

Marie Sent on 10/12/2022A dream!!!
From the beginning to end, I can’t have enough good things to say about bad boss bride. When I first got engaged, I was that bride that thought I could plan a wedding on my own, and let me just say flat out that I was wrong!! The amount of effort, detail, and care that the whole team put went beyond compared to anything we could have imagined. The day of the wedding, you would never know the amount of running around that they all did- Taylor, Ali and Rachael. Even Rachael’s husband who helped set up our arch- just absolutely amazing!! Ali ran around through a few different towns making sure we all had our flowers on top of all of the design and arranging at the venue! Taylor is an absolute godsend and we can’t thank her more. She is the definition of calm, cool and collected- everything a couple could need. For months she has given us advice on anything and everything, from vendors & design to weird family dynamics! Any question or issue we had, she had an answer or was quick to figure out a solution for us. Taylor is seriously such a sweetheart and was so positive throughout the whole process. It was truly comforting during those stressful times, and that really meant the world to me. Did I mention that they are also AMAZING florists? Every floral piece at the wedding was seriously soooo dreamy and exactly what I imagined. I could go on and on about how perfectly my day went and the reason is because of bad boss. Thank you guys SO MUCH!!! -

Hollie Sent on 09/26/2022Bad Boss Bride - 5 Impeccable Stars
Bad Boss Bride planned and executed our wedding exceptionally well. Rachael, Mike, Taylor and their entire team made our special day feel like magic. I did not have to worry about anything and felt totally supported from beginning to end. We planned our wedding in under 4 months in my parent’s backyard, and from the beginning, Rachael and Taylor made excellent suggestions for invitations and vendors - photography, tent rental, catering, babysitters and florals - to match our personalities, style and at home venue. My husband builds out Sprinter vans and Rachael even suggested a vintage VW Bus for guest photos - which everyone loved! BBB also designed and set up our rehearsal dinner so beautifully with beautiful candles, tablecloths and lights. I forgot to bring the vegan cupcakes for my cousins and friends, and Rachael and Mike went back to my house while the event was occurring to pick them up! What amazing support and service. We were especially thrilled with Paloma’s work on the flowers (@djunavine) and would never have found her without Racheal’s help. The planning meetings each week helped keep me organized and on target and anything I needed or any questions I had, Rachael and Taylor responded right away and were always kind, calming and ON IT! If you are looking for an organized, aesticially talented and professional wedding planning team, look no further. You will have the best day of your life with these folks. Thank you Rachael, Taylor, Mike and all of your day-of-team (Amanda and Jess) as well. -

Maggie Sent on 08/10/2022(Almost) Perfect Experience
We hired BBB to as our designer/planner/florist and had an (almost) perfect experience. We worked with Rachael from about 7 months before our wedding - she was extremely knowledgeable and helpful in answering a lot of our questions and guiding us in selecting vendors. We ended up with some really phenomenal vendors that we owe basically entirely to her and she and her team worked with them seamlessly. BBB was recommended to us through our venue and that's where Rachael was extremely valuable - she worked with our venue really well and was able to navigate some of the challenges our venue presented with ease.
Both my husband and I come from a theater background (design and management respectively) - which perhaps made us more Type A/detail-oriented/over-communicative than most couples. There was some lack of clarity at points in the process around the design process and communication wasn't always perfect - we often had to follow up on emails we sent and responses were not always super prompt - which led to some frustrations during our planning process. (I assume this was probably due to the fact that 2022 is just a crazy year of a lot of weddings).
From a week out through EOD on our wedding however, Rachael and Taylor were beyond on top of it. As a former stage manager, I knew I would have trouble letting go on my wedding day but Rachael and Taylor ended up making me feel super comfortable/at ease that everything was taken care of. Day of, there was a surprise rainstorm (our wedding was all outdoors) just as we arrived to the venue in the afternoon, and just as I was starting to have a panic attack, Rachael showed up in the bridal suite to assure me that she had a plan and everything was under control. She also went above and beyond to make up for shortcomings of the venue staff. Taylor, Rachael's associate, was also AMAZING day of. She was super communicative/helpful/accessible from getting us drinks when we needed them to facilitating our cake-cutting and sparkler exit flawlessly.
From a design/floral standpoint, our wedding was GORGEOUS and exactly what I always dreamed of. My bouquet especially was beyond stunning. Rachael's knowledge of our venue allowed her to set our reception up perfectly and I truly am still obsessed with how our wedding looked. -

Cynthia Sent on 08/05/2022Could not have planned my beautiful wedding without them!
I hired Rachael and her Bad Boss Bride team for what was supposed to be a baby shower/engagement party only 5 months before the event. I figured since I was pregnant, I didn't need the extra stress of planning a party. After meeting with Rachael in person and via email for about two months, my husband and I realized that turning it into a wedding would make more sense since our guest list was increasing and the venue we picked was too gorgeous not to. So the Bad Boss Bride team basically had 3.5 months to plan a full 120 person wedding consisting of a ceremony, dinner and dancing, and all the other bells and whistles that go into it. I never expected how MUCH detail we needed to consider. Thankfully, Rachael laid it all out for us and also gave us different options based on our vision and our budget! Any hiccups along the way were quickly managed by her team and I truly felt at ease on the day of our wedding. I knew we were in the best of hands and I couldn't recommend them enough! -

Veronica Sent on 12/03/2021Highly recommend!
Rachael was wonderful to work with! We were looking for a very specific type of service to plan our farm wedding and had spoken with a number of wedding planners before meeting Rachael, but knew right away she was the right fit. She immediately understood what I needed as a bride who had a clear vision and wanted to have a fun and nice event, but wasn't as excited about the intense planning process / pressures that come with planning a big wedding. She was hugely helpful in providing vendor recommendations, talking through thoughts and questions, guiding on budget, and ultimately bringing the vision to life - she did the full design and florals for the wedding itself...and she nailed it! -

Nicole Sent on 06/07/2021Amazing Experience working with Bad Boss Bride!
I was fortunate to have found Bad Boss Bride for Month/Day of Coordination for my wedding! Rachael spent time the month leading up to our wedding talking through our vision, timeline, and coordinated all of our vendors to ensure everything went smoothly! She was so knowledgeable and answered all of our questions which helped us relax and really enjoy our wedding day. We had a small hiccup with our centerpieces and Rachael stepped in to modify the setting so that it was more in line with what we had envisioned. I am so grateful to have found and worked with the Bad Boss Bride team! -

Fiona Sent on 10/05/2020Fall Woodland Wedding in the Catskills
Rachael and her team were a dream to work with from start to finish. Communication with Rachael was first rate. Whether it was an idea we wanted to bounce off of her or us needing to make a last minute change before the big day. She was always there for us when we needed her and helped us feel at ease throughout the entire process. Rachael transformed our venue into a dream fall woodland wedding. The attention to detail and unique design elements were second to none. We were absolutely blown away by her ability to elevate the space, her styling is so unique, not the normal cookie cutter weddings we are all used to seeing. All the compliments and praise we have gotten for the day is still coming in. We would love for Rachael to design and host another wedding at our venue in the future. -
