    Hire Rachel!

    Like so many of the other reviews, Rachel and her team are absolutely incredible to work with, and I didn’t have a worry at all day-of for our reception. I knew that things would be handled well and professionally.

    We had a situation where one of my support vendors miscalculated linens and Rachel communicated with me quickly about the situation and already had several solutions in action in order to fix the problem (she did).

    Because of conflicting schedules, my husband and I were not able to do the set up ourselves, so Rachel and her team coordinated with all of our vendors for the set up of our event, exactly to our specifications, descriptions, and example photos.

    Truly, hiring Rachel for planning help and day of coordination with some of the best money we spent. You think you’re going to have the time, but ultimately you’re going to be pulled in so many different directions in the weeks leading up to your event and day of, so execution of all of our hard work and planning was taken care of, and it did not stress me out.

    Thank you to Rachel and her team!

    Wedding day consultant.

    Choosing MasterPiece Weddings and Events was such a wise decision in the wedding planning.

    Rachel is knowledgeable, charming, calming and reassuring. Our vendors had worked with MasterPiece in the past and were very positive about working with them again. Rachel met with us before the wedding and answered all of our questions promptly.

    The day of the wedding Rachel and Crysta were proactive, prepared and knew exactly what to do. They had their eye out for the small details and kept the big picture in mind. Thanks to Masterpiece Wedding, we were able to enjoy the wedding day knowing that Rachel was in charge taking care of all the details with her cheerful, respectful and focused manner.

    Thank you Rachel and the MasterPiece team.

    Amazing Coordinator!

    Rachel, Crysta, and the rest of the team were absolutely incredible! They made every step of the way better. They met with me twice before the wedding, followed up with emails to make sure everything was the way I wanted it, made suggestions, and helped calm me down. They handled set up and tear down phenomenally so I could focus on my day. They made several quick decisions to keep everything running smoothly and keep the fun going. They even got me photos of my day before the official photographer so I could share on social media. This is an investment I highly suggest every bride make because it will pay off tenfold in ways you can't foresee.

    Amazing experience with MasterPiece!

    Rachel and Crysta were fantastic to work with, and we can't recommend MasterPiece Weddings enough! In the month leading up to our wedding, they coordinated with all our vendors and really became the point people for our wedding. There were so many little details and decisions that we never would have thought to plan for on our own, which they were able to walk us though without making it overwhelming. It was honestly like having a wedding coach who helped us figure out exactly how our ideal day would proceed and then make that a reality.

    At our very first meeting with Rachel, we said our goal in booking a planner was that we would get to fully enjoy each moment of our wedding, and that was exactly what happened. We didn't have to spend a single second worrying about managing the schedule, tracking down family members for pictures, or any of the other stresses that come up. Any issues that needed dealing with were handled by Rachel's team behind the scenes. Their experience and professionalism let us focus entirely on being present with each other, our friends, and our family.

    We would 100% recommend them for any couple getting married!

    Great to Work With!

    Masterpiece Weddings made my daughter's wedding absolutely wonderful! The process was actually fun - not the stressful time we'd heard about! When each vendor learned Masterpiece had been selected, they were excited - which is good! My daughter and I have wildly different tastes and Rachel gave her the ceremony and reception of her dreams! It was beautiful and uniquely her! As we were leaving, my daughter turned to me and said, "Mom, this day was absolutely perfect." Thank you, Rachel and team, for a phenomenal day!

    We worked with Rachel and her assistant Crysta and had an awesome experience! Both were wonderful, professional, and handled so much both leading up to our wedding and on the day of. Would highly recommend this duo!

    MasterPiece Weddings

    Rachel and Crysta did such an amazing job helping us through our day, and the weeks leading up to it! We had such a sense of relief knowing that we had someone we could trust creating our timeline, reaching out to our vendors, and guiding us through the day! Our hair and makeup was running really late and Rachel made sure everything kept moving and managed to keep us on schedule without missing a beat! Not to mention they are incredibly kind and sweet people and made me feel so confident. Cannot recommend Masterpiece Weddings enough and cannot thank them enough for all their hard work and help!

    Our Best Decision (besides marrying each other)

    Our wedding was everything we hoped for, thanks to MasterPiece Weddings! They were the single most important piece in making our event memorable not only for us, the married couple, but also for our guests. We are forever grateful to Rachel and her team for keeping us on point and coordinating the whirlwind around us! The expertise, professionalism, and kindness they showed us is something we will never forget. They were recommended to us, and we are now recommending to you!

    Precious Piece of Mind

    As the mother of the bride, we planned the wedding over the course of a year and a half. Made all decorations, booked all vendors, etc. However, one thing that worried me was management of the actual rehearsal and the day of the ceremony. If I became so involved in the details, I knew I'd miss out on truly enjoying the day with my daughter. MasterPiece Weddings, Rachel and Crysta came to the rescue. We hired them for the month-of package. We live in a different town, so we were able to communicate via Zoom and email/texts. Rachel has everything so perfectly organized, that she took us through our initial interview process and opened my eyes on all the things I never would've accounted for. She prepared the wedding day timeline (A/K/A wedding day Bible) for us and coordinated with all the vendors.
    On the day of the rehearsal, she showed me how much she was needed. She organized the group and made sure everyone understood their roles, etc.
    However, one the day of the wedding, they blew my mind. They followed our instructions to the T, and took care of all the set up and take down of the ceremony and reception. I was able to enjoy the entire day with the peace of mind that all was being handled by a professional. She was on top of every detail, and was quick to handle any glitch in the schedule with a very calm, commanding nature.
    We highly recommend Rachel and MasterPiece Weddings if you're in the market for a wedding planner in the Gainesville area.

    Hire MasterPiece Weddings!

    Highly recommend MasterPiece Weddings!! Rachel and Crysta are incredible! They took the time to know us as a couple and our vision for our special day. Their knowledge of weddings is vast!! They asked questions I hadn't even thought of, such as "Would you like us to plate your meal for you? What would you like to eat/drink?" Our wedding timeline was navigated down to the quarter-hour and they made sure we were on time for everything. On the day of the wedding, they really made us, and our family, feel special. Every detail was taken care of, and I truly felt like we were guests at our own wedding. These two amazing women have a special place in our hearts and I'm so excited that Rachel had the opportunity to ring the church bells as my husband and I took our first steps as a married couple on New Year's Eve. Thank you MasterPiece Weddings for your expertise and care!!!

    100% would recommend to all couples planning a wedding!

    We cannot recommend Rachel and her team enough! Our wedding was seamless and stress free and perfect because of her hard work setting up the venue and keeping everything moving behind the scenes. When we initially started planning our wedding, we realized very quickly that we needed somebody to coordinate everything on site the day of the wedding while we were getting ready and taking photos 30 minutes away. I am a bit of a control freak, so the idea of letting go of the responsibility was slightly terrifying. Rachel’s day-of coordination services were exactly what we needed. I was able to plan and organize everything on the front end, and then Rachel & team executed them flawlessly on the wedding day. I didn’t have to think about anything other than showing up to marry my best friend and enjoying the evening with our family and friends. We could not have done this without Masterpiece Weddings!

    We couldn't have done it without her

    We literally couldn't have asked for a better wedding planner and day of coordinator. Even with a vendor and groomsmen change last minute, Rachel made sure everything was taken care of and we had nothing to worry about. It was great getting to focus on our wedding day without worrying about anything else. Not one thing went wrong as far as we know, which means she is either an incredible planner, or an even better day of coordinator to be able to pull everything together without anyone noticing anything.

    Outstanding!

    Rachel and her team were outstanding. She is an expert at what she does, and it allowed me to fully enjoy my wedding with my new husband. I couldn't recommend her and her team enough, they were just the best. She and her team of course managed all the details seamlessly, but what sets Masterpiece Weddings apart is I felt she and Crysta really cared about our wedding and wanted it to be as amazing and I did. I could not have done it without them, and can't recommend them enough!

    Wonderful wedding planner!!!

    Hiring Rachel and her team was the best money we spent on our wedding. We were planning our wedding from across the country, and relied on Rachel's recommendations and connections to find a team of exceptional vendors, all of whom were thrilled to learn we would be working with MasterPiece Weddings. Our wedding was somewhat non-traditional, and Rachel helped us figure out what did and did not make sense for us on our wedding weekend, and enthusiastically supported the more unconventional parts of our plan. On our wedding day itself, a huge storm rolled through just in time for our ceremony. Rachel and her team spent all afternoon running around in the pouring rain to make sure our wedding could go forward as planned--they were completely professional and cheerful the whole time and our wedding was an absolute success! I truly don't know what we would have done without them. We love Rachel and her team!!

    If you are debating about hiring a wedding coordinator, DO IT. Rachel and her team are the best in the business and I can not express how thankful I was for her on my wedding day. She is the sole reason my day went as perfect as it did. Rachel paid attention to every detail and has the sweetest soul. Highly recommend ❤️

    Hire Rachel as Your Wedding Planner!

    Rachel was so helpful with contacting vendors and helping get everything ready for our wedding the month before. Her help was so needed and appreciated especially on the day of our wedding. I didn't have to worry about anything! Rachel and the staff at MasterPiece Weddings were so great to work with and cared so much about making our day stress free. Everything went so smoothly on our wedding day!

    Hiring Rachel was our best decision!

    Rachel is an absolutely incredible coordinator, and I’m so glad that she teamed up with us to make our day so special! I hired her as our “Month Of Coordinator.” Throughout my whole planning process, Rachel was quick to answer any questions that I had or provide recommendations based on her wealth of wedding knowledge. At the one-month mark, Rachel coordinated our vendors and helped me work out all the details leading up to our wedding. When we finally arrived at our big day, Rachel took all the pressure off from me and my husband so that we could just enjoy ourselves! Rachel and her team did all of our set up, coordinated the flow of our ceremony and reception, then broke down all the decor after the reception. I am beyond grateful that Rachel and her team coordinated our wedding, and I wholeheartedly recommend them!

    The best!

    Rachel Griffin and her team from MasterPiece Weddings was absolutely the best for our wedding. We had a couple of meetings before hand and Rachel helped me figure out what details I was missing and just shedding light on things I never thought of. The day of Rachel's help was a Godsend. Without her I don't know if my mom would have even gotten ready. She was just prepared with everything, her and her team were a well oiled machine at West Light Farm. Without her my wedding would not have gone smoothly she thought of and took care of everything. I would recommend Rachel a million times to everyone in the area. You don't know you need a wedding coordinator until you needed her, good thing I had Rachel. I seriously would have been a wreck without her.

    A Blessing from God

    I am a COVID bride with our original wedding date being March 20, 2020 and three days before our wedding, it was postponed. Rachel seamlessly communicated with all of our wedding vendors and assisted my husband and I through a year and a half of rescheduling our wedding. Rachel was hired as a month/day of coordinator and she did not charge us any additional fees for our postponement. She was such a blessing to us, easily reached, and constantly checked on how we were feeling! On the day of our wedding, other wedding vendors kept commenting on how great Rachel and her team were, and how her team made everyone else's jobs that much easier! I would recommend MasterPiece Weddings and Events a thousand times over! Thank you so much Rachel!!!

    Rachel and her team were ESSENTIAL WORKERS!!!

    Rachel and her team are beyond amazing! They made sure that every single detail was thought out and had a backup plan for anything that could come up. If you are planning even a small, intimate wedding, planners are a MUST. Rachel thought of necessities that hadn’t even entered our minds and made our day the most magical experience it could have possibly been. She has the knowledge and the skillset to handle any size wedding. Her team made our wedding an absolute masterpiece and my new wife and I could not be happier. Every guest was raving about all the details and intricacies that made the entire day so enjoyable. Little did they know that Rachel and her team were behind each and every one of them!

    Rachel is the BEST wedding planner!

    Rachel is the BEST wedding planner, she is also a mind reader (preempting my every thought on my wedding day) and one of the nicest people you’ll ever find!! When my (then) fiancé and I decided to get married during a pandemic we were intent in making our ceremony be a fun but safe event. Because we were from out of town and had unique planning needs, she worked with us to develop a custom planning package, which worked out wonderfully. From the start, Rachel worked diligently to make sure our wedding dreams came true while ensuring we had little to worry about in terms of coordinating vendors and safety standards. She recommended fantastic vendors and even those that we had already reached out to individually knew her and spoke highly of her.

    On our wedding day, she handled issues that came up (since things always happen!) swiftly and seamlessly. She seemed to be in several places at the same time, fixing my hair, decorating the getaway car, coordinating the vendors and getting us a snack before we even realized we needed one, all without skipping a beat. We are so grateful to have found her and I highly recommend you hire her!

    Best decision we made

    When you hire Rachel you just made your dream wedding come true. Rachel thought of every detail and every possible need and made a spectacular day filled with love and laughs for our families. Our venue was a little tricky because it was so a private home so far away from Gainesville but Rachel never had an issue navigating that and made sure we prepared for every scenario. She knew the BEST vendors (I’ve had people asking for recipes from the caterer) and was able to make us feel so at ease. My husband and I had always wanted a small wedding and were able to get married in the enchanted forest that Rachel and Betsy with the Plant Shoppe Florist created. The thing about Rachel is not only the is she incredible at what she does she also is one of the warmest people you will ever meet and you will get nothing but love and expertise when working with her. One day when Covid is over I will get to give her the biggest hug for making my dreams a reality.

    HIRE RACHEL! You will not regret it!

    Please do yourself a favor and hire Rachel! My husband and I were questioning if a Wedding Coordinator was going to be necessary, and we honestly could not have imagined our day without Rachel! Everything was PERFECT! There wasn't a single thing that we had to worry about, and we truly got to enjoy every single moment of our day. We had multiple guests compliment how smooth everything went, and we have Rachel to thank for that. She truly is the BEST! She is personable and pays attention to every detail, small and big. Thank you, Rachel, for making our day one that we will never forget.

    MasterPiece Weddings was terrific!

    Please do yourself a solid and hire Rachel. I don't want to come off as melodramatic, but you might want to consider planning your wedding date around Rachel's availability for your wedding. She was that big of a game changer. She has multiple packages for brides looking for complete planning or a helping hand the month of the wedding. She is so kind, and so efficient and just an all around dream. She was touch with all of my vendors and probably knew more about my wedding than I did (certainly more than my Husband). She treated me like I was family and I cannot sing her praises enough.

    Beyond Amazing!

    Rachel did such an amazing job at our wedding. My Husband and I had no idea what to expect and how things would run behind the scenes on our wedding day. Rachel made sure everything ran so smoothly and so perfect! Our wedding was beyond amazing and easy! The whole day was more than we could have ever hoped for. Rachel was always on top of it, and taking care of everything. She even started to help serve food for our vendor that cancelled last minute on helping to serve the food at our buffet! I had no idea that even happened until after the wedding I had to ask how she ended up serving food. Everything with every vendor went so smooth and easy I couldn't even believe how amazing and easy our wedding day was. I highly highly recommend Rachel for any bride that was like me and had no idea where to start and end. I recommend Rachel for anyone that has an idea and dream in their head and needs help bringing it to life. I used Rachel as a day of coordinator, but I feel that is was so much more than that! I could not recommend her enough!

    Rachel Griffin tackled a big, Shakespearean, interfaith wedding and gave it life

    I don't know what Max and I would've done without Rachel. Early on, I was getting overwhelmed with planning and appeasing everyone. Max and I didn't have a clear vision, but knew that we couldn't have a traditional Jewish or Christian wedding, being an interfaith couple. Rachel helped us craft a Shakespearean wedding with Scottish accents to highlight our ancestry and Macbeth all at once. No question was too ridiculous or minuscule. No need went unanticipated. From our pre-planning meetings to phone calls and texts, Rachel proved herself to be responsive, capable, knowledgeable, and compassionate. She immediately assuaged my fears and tackled my workload, and did a hell of a job. Need to communicate to multiple vendors? Check. Need a new DJ because the one you had dropped less than a month before the wedding? Rachel's got you. Need your comfy shoes put under the table, or tips handed to the wait staff? Rachel is on it. She showed up early and oversaw everything with aplomb and grace. Getting Rachel Griffin as my wedding planner was the best decision I ever made. Thank you so much for making Max and I's day flawless. We will never forget it - not a single thing went wrong, and it's all because of the amazing amount of work and organization your team did behind the scenes.

    Wedding Coordinator

    Rachel and her staff were amazing. I am so glad we found Rachel to help us with our big day. She did an amazing job and made our lives so much easier and you can tell she and her staff really care about your big day. She was responsive, had endless suggestions for vendors, and was incredibly organized. We hired her for the month of and day of coordination. She had everything ready to go, making it so that all we had to do was enjoy the time with our friends and family.

    Rachel is the best!

    Rachel was so helpful, especially for our out-of-state planning! We hired her as our month-of coordinator, and she did a great job giving us a framework and a plan for getting everything done, month by month, which was great for our busy schedules and type A brains! Her main job was the "month of," but she was wonderful about answering our many questions over email during the year of planning that preceded that month, and for that we are so grateful! We didn't end up hiring her as a true "planner," so we ended up doing all of the hiring and planning of the actual wedding weekend, but she was so helpful along the way and was such an asset as the wedding got closer! She was great about helping us coordinate all the vendors---I was SO GLAD we had hired her to do all of those week-of/day-of logistics! It took such a weight off to not have to do any of that ourselves or have our wedding party or parents have to worry about any of it. She is kind, professional, and easy to work with---would definitely recommend Rachel!!

    Absolutely The Best

    Rachel and her team were absolutely wonderful coordinating and executing our wedding rehearsal and wedding day. We chose her month-of package and it was exactly what we needed. I loved being able to be hands on and to incorporate my DIYs. Rachel was a HUGE help in coordinating with all our vendors, venues, and ceremony musician. Rachel always brought a sense of calmness and ease, and her and her team brought the whole event together. I know you won't be disappointed with her on your side, no matter your vision!

    Best Wedding Planner EVER

    If you’re reading this Rachel, we want to sincerely thank you and your staff for orchestrating the best day of our lives. Without your help, we can’t begin to imagine how hectic and chaotic the wedding would have been - because we still can’t believe just how incredibly amazing you made everything turn out. From setting up the venue, orchestrating the countless number of vendors, family members, and friends asking for things to do, and moving things along ever so smoothly, your guiding influence can not be overstated.

    To anyone considering a wedding planner, I could not recommend MasterPiece Weddings any more highly. She worked with us for months, provided suggested timelines for each week/month leading up to our wedding date, and thoroughly assisted with venue details and a schedule for the day off. The day before our wedding, she helped perfect things during the rehearsal, and on the big day, unexpected problems were taken care of before either of us had any idea clue they occurred - and that’s not an exaggeration at all. The reception hall was utterly transformed into something out of this world - far beyond what we had expected. Everyone Rachel and her assistants interacted with, from our family members to groomsmen who provided appetizers, had nothing but glowing things to say in regards to how helpful and ahead-of-the-game she was.

    Again, thank you MasterPiece Weddings so much for making our day perfect!

    Working with Rachel and her team at MasterPiece Weddings was wonderful! She was so kind and helpful and really took the stress off us leading up to our wedding and especially the day of. I knew we were in good hands when all of our other vendors were excited to be working with Rachel - "she is the BEST! You are going to love her" they said - and they were right.

    Aside from everything running smoothly and looking perfect the day of, she took charge when we decided the day before during our rehearsal to change to the ceremony location. This was a very last-minute decision and she made it happen! If you are looking for wedding planning in the Gainesville area, I would absolutely recommend MasterPiece Weddings!

    *One additional thing to note that I thought was unique about MasterPiece is that they offer different levels of planning and add-on options...the customization really helped us obtain the services we needed within our budget. Definitely a plus!

    Rachel and her team are seriously worth every penny. I hired her as a month-of coordinator. We are an out-of-state couple, so I was anxious about planning a wedding from far away. However, Rachel was incredibly helpful from the get-go. She gave us suggestions for local vendors while I was still planning; is knowledgable about Catholic wedding masses; and had worked with the Florida Museum of Natural History, where we had our reception. She and her team were at the rehearsal and kept track of all the details. On the day of the wedding, I did not have to worry about a single thing. She and her team took care of all the details both at the church and at the museum and helped keep things running smoothly. They even laid out our decor beautifully. I'm incredibly glad that I hired MasterPiece Weddings for my wedding.

    The amount of positive things I have to say about Rachel are endless! While she does a phenomenal job of keeping your wedding planned, organized, and running smoothly - she does so much more! She is incredibly sweet, king, and genuinely makes a bride feel her best on her wedding day. She does whatever she needs to do to make sure everyone feels at ease during the most hectic day of your life, and she feels like a friend while doing it! I could not recommend her enough!

    Rachel and her staff were phenomenal! My husband and I were able to focus on enjoying our day, family, and friends because as far as we know our wedding day went off without a hitch. Leading up to our wedding she was quick to respond and had great advice about how to make our day even better. During the wedding and reception she kept everything on schedule, made sure everything was taken care of, and had an emergency kit that contained pretty much anything you could imagine. She definitely knows what she is doing!

    I am smiling ear to ear just writing this review. Rachel was simply fabulous. She executed our day with such precision, it really was a fairy tale. I am still amazed at all the little details that she took care of and just how much responsibility she took on and yet she always seemed willing and able to do more if needed, she never seamed busy or rushed, she has incredible grace. Rachel is not just a planner, Rachel is a miracle worker, she is a problem solver. Rachel had our backs, I cant thank her enough and it seriously brings me to tears just thinking about how much it meant to us to know someone thought so much of our day and all the details and could execute something so magical all for us to enjoy without us having to stress out.

    Rachel and her team at Masterpiece Weddings helped my dream wedding come to life. When I first sat with Rachel I had no idea what I wanted, just a direction I wanted to go in. I through all sorts of random ideas at her (reception at the Florida Museum of Natural History, dinosaur cake toppers, a magic trick after the father/daughter dance, etc.) and she was so supportive of my vision and helped me focus it into reality. Her team set up all my centerpieces and made sure all the details of the decor were spot on. Not only that, but we were the first couple to use the Harn Museum of Art as our ceremony venue and everything went so smooth! Rachel is definitely the person you want guiding you through your big day, trust me! We couldn't be happier with her and her team.

    If you do nothing else, hire Rachel and her team as your wedding planners. You may think you can do it all, but it's far less stressful to let these wonderful ladies take the wheel. Rachel contacted all of my vendors to coordinate final payment amounts, arrival times and confirm orders. She always responded to emails quickly, was super helpful in creating a wedding day timeline and updated us on any important issues that came up. The team helped us finish setting up before the wedding and made sure everything ran smoothly. Rachel even loaded us up in her van with the photographer in search of the perfect photo spot! These ladies are the absolute best and we are forever grateful for everything they did to make our wedding day a huge success.

    Your road trip to the wedding day will be a million times happier and less stressful if you get a wedding planner, especially if you have Rachel! I booked MasterPiece Weddings for the month of my wedding, and I can't imagine what I would've done without her. All I had to do was show up and she orchestrated the beautiful wedding I envisioned. On top of that she's incredibly sweet, super prepared for ANY mishap (just take a peek at what she carries in her bag on the wedding day) and easy to work with. Thank you Rachel!

    I am so grateful I found Rachel and her incredible team! Masterpiece Weddings was one of the first vendors I booked, and I truly would have been lost without them during our engagement! Rachel was so helpful recommending additional vendors and she helped everything fall into place so perfectly and effortlessly. She was always a phone call, email or text away, and was always incredibly quick to respond, even on an evening or weekend. From the early stages of planning, to the final details meeting and just minutes before I walked down the aisle, Rachel was right there when I needed her. I couldn't have asked for a better wedding coordinator, and now post-wedding, I am so happy to call her a friend! Our wedding day truly wouldn't have been the same without Masterpiece Weddings and I cannot recommend them enough!

    Rachel is absolutely amazing! From our first meeting, my husband and I felt so comfortable with her. She kept us on time with all of our deadlines throughout our planning and was always available for my 'million and one' questions about the wedding! My wedding was scheduled right when Hurricane Matthew was coming through our area and she helped change and fix plans that fell through and even did my rehearsal the morning of the wedding when it wasn't safe for us to rehearse the day before. Rachel and her team went above and beyond all day for us (which ended up being at least a 12 hour day for them)! Throughout it all, Rachel and her team were professional, but also felt like family. I did not worry about a thing all day because I knew Rachel and her team would make sure the day went perfectly - and it did! I highly recommend Rachel and Masterpiece Weddings to every couple getting married! We could not have done it without her! Thanks so much Rachel!

    I planned my wedding five hours away from Gainesville, Fl. I was only able to meet with Rachel once before the wedding. Rachel was very helpful to help me get in touch with the right vendors . We communicated thru email and she responded very quickly. She gave me her honest opinions on decor.I was on a tight budget and she made sure I did not go over my budget. My wedding day was perfect besides the rain. I had a time line for myself and my vendors. I did not have to worry about a thing all i had to do do was to show up. Rachel is the best she has such a beautiful spirit ! She was very easy going and very professional.I would recommend anyone to her. Thank you Rachel! Corey and Michelle Brown

    Rachel and her team made our day run like a dream. For example: hours before the ceremony my mother in law was stressing about the flower arrangements languishing in the sun. For Rachel and her team this was an easy fix. While the family was running around in the last hours before the wedding, they set the flowers in the shade and made sure they were in their right spot before the ceremony began. This is just one small example of how they made the day stress-free and easy. Thanks again Rachel!

    We are older newlyweds and with age comes wisdom. Using Rachel and her team was the best decision we made. From the first time we met Rachel we knew she was right for us. She gave us a schedule that was priceless for keeping on tract since there are so many things to take care of. Her advice was always honest and sincere. Her smile is a reflection of her heart of how much she loves what she does. Our day was perfect for she made sure of it.
    We hired a wedding planner.....but made a friendship. ALWAYS will recommend Masterpiece Weddings to everyone!

    I planned my Gainesville wedding from the DC area and I knew I needed to hire a month of coordinator to help with all the final touches. I visited FL a month before my wedding date and met with Rachel for the first time and left feeling so assured that all the final details would come out perfectly and they did! The weather forecast leading up to my wedding weekend was terrible, 100% chance of rain all day Saturday...I didn't want to talk about a plan B (our wedding was completely outdoors, ceremony and reception) but leading up to the big day, Rachel calmed my nerves and worked with my caterer to come up with a backup plan if we needed coverage. Thankfully, the weather cooperated and we were able to stick with our original plan. Throughout the whole day, I always felt like everything was handled by Rachel and her team so I never felt anxious or worried. If you are planning a wedding in the Gainesville area, you MUST hire Rachel...she knows so many vendors already in the area and her professionalism and love of weddings is top notch. She exceeded all of my expectations and if there were any issues, she knew had to handle them and helped make my wedding day perfect!

    I planned my wedding from afar and I also knew I wanted to have someone in charge of all the details on the big day so I wouldn't have to stress about anything. From the first time Rachel and I spoke on the phone, I knew she was the right person to do the job. Her demeanor is calming yet professional. She is very familiar with the best local vendors and venues. Leading up to the to big day, she was available via email whenever I had any questions about anything, from vendors to wedding etiquette and everything in between.
    During the rehearsal and day of the wedding, she and her team were on time and took care of everything. All the items they set up at the reception looked amazing, they handled all the recorded music at the ceremony and helped guide us along through the evening's scheduled events. Everything went as planned according to our timeline and that was in no small part due to their efforts.
    On top of her planning services, Rachel also provides some decor items for an additional cost. She drew up a few different chalkboard signs for our reception that coordinated with our theme and they were so so cute! I got lots of compliments on the signs and her services on the big day. Would highly recommend - (very reasonable amount of) money well spent!

    Rachel Griffin and her day-of team were great. I used MasterPiece Weddings for Day-of planning only, but this included a meeting a month-out (actually over a month out, Rachel was very flexible to work with my schedule), and LOTS of emails back and forth with Rachel! Overall, Rachel was incredibly sweet, professional, and wonderful to work with. I found a lot of unresponsiveness in this certainly somewhat snobby industry, but Rachel is incredibly down to earth, accessible, and overall wonderful. Our wedding was in Jacksonville, and she was incredibly flexible with making that work coming from Gainesville. Having not seen my venue till the morning of the big event, Rachel and her team handled everything with class. I recommend MasterPiece weddings very highly!

    Rachel was truly a blessing! She was always ready with suggestions and support for us. She really made sure she knew what we wanted for our wedding, and did not just give us generic, average suggestions. I really appreciate the extra time she took in getting to know us and what we wanted our special day to be. We actually had to make some huge changes to parts of the reception a month before the wedding and she made this very stressful process go so much smoother than I anticipated.

    Rachel and her team helped make our wedding absolutely perfect!

    Master Piece Weddings with Rachel Griffin was amazing! Our wedding day plans were changed due to poor weather and she was great at making sure all the alterations went smoothly. We enjoyed being able to relax and enjoy our day with family and friends not having to worry about the details on the day. She provided great advise regarding vendors and was able to provide her insight into all sorts of aspects of weddings that we didn't really have a clue about. Rachel and her team were very professional and easy to interact with. We would highly recommend Masterpiece Weddings and Rachel Griffin for planning your big day.

    I really don't know where to start here, there is so much to say. When we met Rachel the first day in Starbucks we were in need of direction and guidance. Fortunately, this is part of what Rachel does with her Adventure Timeline. She outlines the wedding planning process. After our initial meeting, not only did I realize we couldn't pull this off with out her services, but that I needed to secure her for our date immediately. Believe me, I am not one to do that so quickly..

    Now that the wedding is over, I would hire her and her staff many times over. She answered her emails within a timely manner, and rose to every challenge we had. When we needed her to come to our dress alteration appointment for my daughter, this was no problem. She assisted in the three layers of dress pinning up from ceremony to reception so none of us had to get on the ground and do it.

    Believe me, I could go on and on...we were pretty much a diy group, however, you still need the help of a professional if you are going to enjoy the day and see them get married.
    She coordinated rehearsal and the ceremony, took my 911 calls in between. Went to my final details meetings for flowers and food with us and her staff put our centerpieces out for us. She did many more things for us as well.

    i can only thank Rachel Griffin and her staff from the bottom of my heart. Your help meant everything with the success of my daughters Wedding! I can't imagine not hiring you.

    I am so glad that I had Rachel there to help me prepare for my wedding and there for the day of. In the weeks leading up to my wedding she made sure to keep tabs on all my vendors and she made sure everything was running smoothly. Rachel was also great at advising me when I needed help making decisions (specifically helped me a lot with figuring out my floral arrangements). She is so knowledgeable in everything wedding and such an easy to person to talk to! Rachel was always quick to respond to any email and always had the best answers to my questions! I would highly recommend Rachel/Masterpiece weddings to anyone! When my wedding day arrived I was not stressed and the only thing I had to do that day was get my make up and hair done, get dressed, and get married! I was able to enjoy my day without having to worry about setting anything up or answering questions from vendors. When Rachel and her assistant weren't managing everything going on they were checking in on me and the wedding party. I can't say enough wonderful things! I am so happy with my wedding, it was a perfect day and I know I owe a great deal of that to Rachel and her team!

    My (now) wife, Roxanne, and I had been planning our wedding for over a year by the time we had gotten married, and when you plan a wedding for that long, you inevitably begin to wonder how on Earth it is all going to come together. With so many vendors hired over the course of the event, and so many different people coming and going, it is hard to overstate just how important having an extra pair of hands (or three!) is on the day of. Fortunately, that is why we are so incredibly thankful for Masterpiece Weddings for the kindness, professionalism, and punctuality they showed us during our ceremony. We heard about Rachel Griffin through another vendor, with nothing but good words for her and her crew. After meeting with her in person, it didn't take long for us to realize that her reputation was entirely deserved! Rachel was a fantastic resource in the final months of our planning. We met with her a few times, when she was available, which was frequently. If not, it wouldn't take her long to make time. Roxanne and I felt her to be very attentive, professional, and very reliable! On the day of, having her on hand took all of the pressure of planning off of our shoulders. If we were to plan a wedding all over again, we would undeniably, unquestionably, ten times

    I attribute the success of our wedding to Rachel and the team over at Masterpiece Weddings. From day-one, Rachel was there to help with the planning of our big day. She helped us with advice on the things we needed the most- from vendors, to decorations, to food. Right from the start she narrowed the field and assisted us in securing the best vendors in town. Rachel gave us advice on each of our amazing vendors, why each would be best for us, and then let us make the final decision on who to hire based on our aesthetic. It's evident this is Rachel's passion, as she was an incredible wedding planner with an amazing team of helpers at her side! Everyone from Masterpiece did a wonderful job setting up our reception and making sure everything went smoothly- from our perspective, they pulled off a *flawless* wedding - no exaggeration, it was everything we dreamt about. All of our guests commented how wonderful the whole day was, and by in large, we know it was thanks to the coordination and execution of Rachel/Masterpiece Weddings. We are really thankful and truly grateful to the whole team at Masterpiece for making our special day exactly what we had hoped for.

    I found Rachel through her website. She was extremely prompt in replying to my request and she was extremely personable. My first meeting with her she had a folder with all the packages she offered, along with recommendations and references to help me pull the whole event together. She was there every step of the way- and from flowers to venue to makeup she was spot-on with the recommendations. It was great knowing that she worked closely with the other vendors- so she was always aware of every detail or change in detail. She went above and beyond the day of the wedding and her team was so keen to make sure that everyone in the wedding party was taken care of. They even made sure that my mom and grandma were happy and cared for. Rachel has a smile that lights up the room and showcases her friendly and caring personality. I couldn't have had a more enjoyable wedding and Rachel made sure that our day was worry-free. She was one of my best wedding presents!

    Rachel and her staff were amazing! They made my wedding (appear to be) seamless and easy. She kept me calm and happy throughout the process; and kept track of all the details, so my guests could just enjoy themselves.

    I am a very busy accountant. I made arrangements with the majority of my vendors before I even contacted MasterPiece. I spoke with three panning companies. MasterPiece was slightly more expensive, but after my meeting with Rachel I was sold. Her sweet and fun, yet organized demeanor just gave me the feeling she was the right choice, and she was!

    My main purpose in having a wedding planner was for "day of" assistance, but I purchased Rachel's "month of" package instead. Thank goodness I did! I had a major problem with our hotel room block. Prior to Rachel's involvement, the hotel barely acknowledged my concern. They paid more attention once she got involved.

    Additionally, due to my busy work schedule, some of the DIY projects I planned for my wedding ran later than planned. Rachel and her staff (along with my bridesmaids) got things done quickly and efficiently. They were organized yet flexible when thrown a curve ball.

    She also worked well with my other vendors, so all were on the same page. I just had to give her their company names, and she took care of the rest!

    During the wedding and reception, Rachel was there to take care of the details to make the wedding go smoothly, so my husband and I were just able to have fun! She worked in the background without us knowing, and got our attention only for the major events.

    Thank you, so much!

    Rachel and her team are simply amazing. They are delightful to have around and absolutely on top of their game in every way. Having them run our wedding day made a huge difference, and it allowed us- and our families- to just be happy emotional people focused on the things that really mattered. Rachel just made everything else happen. I think it was magic. Highly recommended!!!

    Enlisting Rachel and her Masterpiece Weddings team was the single best decision we made! We were planning from Atlanta, and Rachel pointed me toward my makeup artist, hair stylist, and DJ, so we didn't have to struggle to find reputable vendors. She created a schedule for the wedding day and contacted all of the vendors to make sure everyone was on the same page, and made sure everybody knew where and when to arrive. On the wedding day, we didn't have to lift a finger to set up our reception venue - the Masterpiece team took care of everything. They also took care of everything at the ceremony itself, directing guests both before and after and fielding questions so that our families didn't have to. Rachel kept the reception on schedule, and simply made sure that the evening was flawless. I highly recommend Masterpiece to anyone planning a wedding in Gainesville!

    Rachel and her staff go above and beyond to make sure that your wedding day is the day of your dreams! I was finishing up my Ph.D. during the wedding planning process, and there is absolutely no way I would have been able to pull together all of the elements needed to have a smooth and stress-free wedding. Rachel met with me regularly to suggest vendors, go to vendor meetings with me, brainstorm ideas, and schedule all the details of my rehearsal, rehearsal dinner, ceremony, and reception. Masterpiece Weddings made our whole wedding weekend a success, especially our unconventional completely outdoor wedding day at the Thomas Center. Every detail was supported and attended to with style and care. Jeff and I cannot recommend them enough!

    Rachel and her crew made our wedding a dream come true! We had so many decorations and they threw it all together and made it look amazing in no time. They even stayed extra hours the night before to make sure the venue was set up and ready to go. She is the sweetest wedding coordinator ever. You will absolutely get your money worth with Rachel. Love her!! Thank you Rachel for all you did for Dave and I!!! :)

    I can't even begin to describe how wonderful Rachel and the whole MasterPiece Weddings Team is! It was an absolute pleasure to work with them! I had to plan my wedding in about 3 months and 1 1/2 month of that was out of state. Rachel did everything to make sure things went smooth and never stayed out of touch with me. When I was feeling overwhelmed, she was there! On the day of the wedding, her and her team were there first thing in the morning to finish things that I hadn't been able to get to. Every little detail was taken care of and everything was in place. From crystals in the tree to the lights behind the head table to chairs being moved from the ceremony to the reception. I had several little detailed decorations that meant something to my husband and me and they were all there, in place. Her and her team were very discreet and so professional. Even had to deal with an obnoxious relative but did so with class! The wedding day went by as a blur and I miss it! But I also miss working with her those few months leading up the wedding. She helped me pick out all my vendors, went with me to everything and helped me with every little question I had. My husband and I are so glad we hired her. I had several people tell me it was the best and most beautiful wedding they had ever been to! I even had a friend say that when she gets married, she's having all the same vendors I did. Thank you so much MasterPiece Weddings!

    This review is not nearly enough space for how fantastic Rachel and her team were. For the past six months, anything I needed they would do anything in their power to accomplish. From the biggest tasks to the smallest details, they made sure it happened. The day itself went by so fast, and I have to say, I wasn't the one worrying if all the small details I envisioned actually happened, they just magically appeared!

    Rachel and her team did everything, from helping with finding a florist, to playing family counselor, to coordinating the wedding itself, to managing the vendors, setting up the reception, and making sure the schedule went as planned. She was even so sweet and kind as to make sure that my puppy got taken care of the day of.

    I truly appreciate everything Rachel and Masterpiece weddings did, our day was perfect, they were awesome, and I am only sad that the wedding is over, and I don't get to continue to work with them!

    Masterpiece Weddings truly was a masterful wedding planner. Rachel, the owner, was the perfect blend of incredible sweetness with still being able to control the day and make sure it turned out exactly as we planned it. She was instrumental in making sure that everything was handled prior to and during the wedding—even being there before 6 am to make sure the bride was ready for our early morning first look. Rachel and her staff went above and beyond what we ever expected them to do. We attribute much of the success of our day Masterpiece Weddings being our wedding planner.

    I can't say enough great things about this company. Rachael is just a dream to work with. She is incredibly kind, supportive, inventive, prompt... and many more. I used her team as Month Of coordinators for my wedding at The Historic Thomas Center in Gainesville, FL. She was so diligent about coordinating with all of the other vendors. The day of the event, she was a ray of sunshine to be around, and her team of girls were so sweet. She really thought of everything too, I remember her bringing us a plate of treats from the Cocktail Hour after we finished our photos because she wanted to make sure we got to try the food. We were really trying to pinch pennys on the wedding, and I read this same statement a thousand times when I was planning and was hesitant to pay for a planner, but it was hands down the best investment we made for our wedding day. It would have been chaos without her. Thank you so much Rachel for everything.

    We worked with Rachel and her team for our wedding in May, 2015 and think hiring them was one of the best decisions we made. From answering endless emails to researching flower containers to coming up with a time line leading up to the event and for the day of, Rachel and her team at Masterpiece Weddings were absolute lifesavers! We had the honor of being the first wedding reception in the Swamp, and she was super helpful in figuring out how to make a brand new venue work. Her ideas on lay out for the reception were spot on, and she was awesome at communicating and coordinating the vendors. She and her team were amazing - they pitched in and did anything and everything, including refilling water glasses, to make our big day perfect. Rachel has a wonderful gift for taking your vision and helping you execute it. She reassured me, addressed little things that came up on the fly, and kept everything running smoothly. We would definitely recommend Rachel's services to anyone getting married... trust us, you'll be counting your blessings later!
