Lucia V. Sent on 08/29/2022Every Quality You Could Possible Want in a Wedding Planner!!
What an immense honor it has been to work with Raquel! There were many boxes that Raquel checked with ease, she was immensely knowledgeable, extremely patient, and fully professional throughout the entire wedding planning process. Her expert guidance and planning expertise took the stress and guessing out of the whole experience. In addition to all these wonderful qualities, Raquel was organized, attentive, and detailed.
Above all, what made Raquel a truly exceptional wedding planner, and someone my husband and I will never stop recommending to anyone in the DMV looking for an event planner, were her more subtle qualities. Raquel is the most excellent communicator. She always knew precisely what to say, when to share it, and how to deliver the message. Her ability to share information when it was relevant meant that we never felt overwhelmed with tasks or decisions. Raquel is able to seamlessly blend her professionalism with the deeply personal nature of wedding planning. To plan an event like a wedding is a hugely personal affair; Raquel made us more than comfortable sharing our visions for our special day, and helped us make it a meaningful and intimate event for everyone involved.
Finally, and perhaps most importantly, Raquel took the extra stresses off of our plates so that my husband and I could fully enjoy our day together with friends and family from out of town. She was the go-between if a supplier was running late or forgot the ice. She managed last-minute changes when it rained on our wedding day with ease, and expertly interfaced with the venue as plans shifted. It is thanks to Raquel’s remarkable planning abilities and exceptional day-of coordination that my husband and I will carry with us such warm wedding memories for the rest of our lives. We could not be more grateful, and we could not recommend Raquel more!
We truly do not know how one woman can do so much. Raquel is a force of nature, and we couldn’t be more confident in recommending her wedding planning services to anyone searching for the perfect wedding planner. -

Any issues that came up were handled out of view and created an environment where all of our guests could enjoy the event. She was absolutely fantastic. My wife and I cannot recommend her more highly. -

User2032388 Sent on 02/05/2015I was extremely impressed with the attention to the detail and the beautiful decorations of an event I attended hosted by Event a la Chic. I would highly recommend them to plan any events from wedding showers, to baby showers, business openings, bridal showers and much more!

Cheryl Sent on 12/30/2014I had the pleasure of working with Raquel and Events a la Chic for my wedding back in September and I can honestly say this woman is nothing short of a miracle worker! I initially booked her services to oversee the creation of my invitation suite, that I still to this day, have people complimenting them. Both my parents and in laws have even chosen to have them framed. I was so pleased with her work that I also had her create all of the other "paper" items for the wedding: my seating chart, programs, menu, she even planned my entire bachelorette party since my bridesmaids weren't able to take on that task. Out of all my wedding vendors, Events a la Chic was by far the easiest to work with! Communication was always there from the very beginning and I have every intention of using their services for future events! Thank you again Raquel for all of your hard work. My wedding wouldn't have been as amazing as it was without you!

Farrah Sent on 10/02/2015My Wedding Details
Date: Saturday, Sept . 5, 2015
Ceremony: Alfred Street Baptist Church, Alexandria, VA
Reception: The Lorien Hotel & Spa, Alexandria, VA
Guest Number: 75
From the very beginning Raquel has been nothing short of spectacular. She is attentive, patient, diligent, and so easy to work with. My vision became her vision and she helped me stay focused on what was important. She also saved me a lot of money with some really great recommendations. For example, she suggested where to purchase my dress (Bella Chic in Woodbridge, VA- designer for less...best decision ever compared to Alfred Angelo or David’s Bridal), a great photographer (Olu of S67photos.com), and my cake (Frosted Memories, owner is Kristin Blythe). I found my own DJ (my husband’s close friend) and florist (Lee’s Flowers in DC) however she helped organize and manage all vendors. She took care of flowers, day of set up, décor, follow up with the hotel, and attended all of my meetings with various vendors. The day of timeline she created was perfect and she offered other creative ideas throughout the design process. There were some setbacks as with any other wedding but there’s only so much space on here so if you are interested feel free to contact me directly for more details.
All in all you won’t be disappointed with Events A La Chic. Raquel is thoughtful, diligent, professional, and very poised. Her rates are very economical and honestly you won’t find a better deal.
