  Hugely supportive for Day of coordination

  I hired Rachel and Jess for day of coordination. They were so helpful in making the day go smoothly. They were so helpful in everything from having lash glue on hand, picking up the wedding cake, assembling and dissambelling 11 unique centerpieces, giving practical advice on the best way to pee in my wedding dress, and making sure that my partner and I stayed hydrated all night. Rachel and Jess were so kind and excited for us, and also had the efficient "get it done" attitude you need from a coordinator.

  Look No Further for your Wedding Planner!

  Rachel, Jess, Kim, and the Plan It Perfect team made our wedding the BEST DAY EVER! If you're looking for a wedding planning team that can handle both the expected and unexpected parts of your wedding day (like navigating a school bus through Downtown Baltimore road closures due to a bike race!) with effective professionalism, this is the best team around. We loved that they provided honest feedback and practical suggestions when we weren't sure what to do; and how they remembered the small stuff you mention off-the-cuff and find a way to make it special (like cutting our cake with a sword!). Whether you choose them for day-of coordinating, or have them run your wedding experience start-to-finish, we cannot recommend Plan It Perfect enough. Worth every penny!

  Plan It Perfect's reply:

  Thank you so much! We loved every minute of our time with you, and we're happy to consider you friends! We love when a wedding presents challenges that keep us on our toes, but we're also impressed with how you two handled those challenges with grace. We're so grateful we got to be part of your wedding day.

  Day of Wedding Support for Baltimore's Rawlings Conservatory

  We utilized PlanItPerfect's services for coordinating activities on the day of our wedding. Rachel and team had to make last minute adjustments due to an illness and still the wedding went off without a hitch. We valued their support, organization, and their desire for us to be 100% satisfied with the day.

  Thank Goodness for Rachel!

  If you are in the Baltimore area and looking for a wedding planner. Hire Rachel! I can honestly say we probably wouldn’t have made to down the aisle without her. We had our dream venue that we had everything planned for cancel on us 4 months before our big day. Rachel was there to help us figure out how to cancel or delay contracts, give recommendations for new venues that fit our needs, and just generally being the most supportive human. Having her there to help us move and coordinate everything new and old and still be able to be married on our original date(!) saved us so much stress and anxiety. Having Rachel with us on the day and thinking about all of the little details so we could think about each other was the best, could not recommend more!

  Rachel is the best wedding coordinator!

  I could not recommend Rachel more as a wedding coordinator! She was on top of everything when it came to all aspects of our wedding, and the nitty gritty details that I would never think of. She also communicated with all of our wedding vendors and made sure that our requests were passed along to our vendors in a timely manner. On our wedding day, everything went smoothly thanks to her!! Rachel is also extremely friendly, kind-hearted, and very fun and enjoyable to be around!

  Damn Good Wedding Coordination

  I don’t know if there’s a negative thing I can say about hiring Plan it Perfect for my wedding coordination - I wish I could have Rachel and her team with me at all times to field everything disorganized that comes my way.
  
  My now wife and I got engaged 3.5 months ago, and went all-in on planning our wedding for last weekend. With 3 months till d-day, we raced to find a wedding coordinator to ensure our speedy wedding would go off without a hitch. Thank goodness we came across some recommendations for Plan it Perfect. And thank goodness they had availability for our day. Rachel knew it was a bit of a quick and DIY wedding, but she jumped on the challenge - there to steer us in all our indecisions. I had most of the major planning done, but needed plenty of guidance with the details as the day drew near. She dealt with wedding party antics, awkward family dynamics, last minute decisions, and everything else we threw at her with grace. Her two assistants, Kim and Jess, stepped in to ensure the flow of the evening, while not making sure we didn’t feel rushed or out of control.
  
  When I say that Rachel, Kim and Jess saved my wedding - it is no exaggeration. My wife and I’s caterer, little did we know, was in sky high over its head. The ladies with Plan it Perfect didn’t let us see them sweat, they kept themselves calm and at the helm... While they dealt with the caterer showing up an hour late, missing half their poorly trained staff, and completely unable to set a table or bar. Myself and my bride were none the wiser the entire time. It wasn’t until service started that I saw how much of a shitshow the catering company really was. Yet, Rachel intervened and her team picked up the slack, jumping in to clear tables and coach waiters. It’s because of them I was able to dance the night away, unbothered by the terribly late food and disaster of a bar, amongst other things too frustrating to mention.
  
  If you are thinking about whether or not you should hire a wedding coordinator, hire one. And if you’re going to hire one, hire Rachel Hoffberger. She cares. Her team cares. And they’re damn good at their job.

  Plan It Perfect is simply amazing!

  As soon as I got engaged, I knew I wanted to hire Plan It Perfect to coordinate my wedding. I’ve known Rachel for several years as she’s been a mentor to me as I transitioned careers into the event industry. Having worked alongside Rachel on multiple weddings, I knew how hard she works to make her clients’ special day a success. She’s been in the industry for years and has extensive knowledge on how to successfully plan and coordinate events. Even when our officiant wasn't able to attend the rehearsal last minute, Rachel stepped in with no problem. With Rachel and her assistant, Anastasia in charge we knew we were in good hands! Our day was more than we could dream of and Plan It Perfect played an integral part in that.

  Fabulous! Fabulous! Fabulous!

  From the minute we met her until after our son's wedding, Rachel was always available to us, in person, by email and phone. She keeps meticulous notes of everything and sent them on to us. She is very detail oriented. She dealt with all of our vendors extremely effectively. Any recommendations we needed, she found for us, and all of the vendors she found for us were also great. She answered every possible question. When the wedding got really close and not everything we had ordered had arrived, she filled in that gap too. She and her company are just fabulous! I just can't give her enough praise.

  Thank you so much for the glowing review, Lynne! It was our absolute pleasure to work with you, Zach & Lucas. Our team had such a wonderful time helping the wedding come together and we were so pleased to be able to lighten the load for you throughout the process.

  Two GREAT Weddings with Rachel of Plan It Perfect

  Rachel at Plan it Perfect was The Wedding Day Coordination Package planner for the weddings of my two daughters. These weddings were only six weeks apart!
  Rachel was skilled and professional with deep knowledge of our Baltimore venues and venders. She also had very good judgement on how to arrange and time the ceremonies and receptions.
  Not only that, but bringing a Rachel into the process, who got excited with us about all the details, was lots of fun.
  I felt that I was able to relax and enjoy these special days with my family and friends in a way that I would not have been able to if I did not have Rachel in our corner!
  
  Thanks so much, Rachel!!

  Thank goodness we went with Plan It Perfect!

  We had a unique experience in that both my sister and I got married within 6 weeks of each other. We had not originally planned to have a coordinator but with 2 big( over 200) weddings we realized we needed that assistance. I am glad we made that decision as we would have been lost without Rachel and Plan It Perfect. She did an excellent job with both weddings and made the stress melt away! She was always responsive on email, even with silly questions, and made the whole process simple and fun!

  Great Wedding!

  As father of the bride, my only concern was my daughter's happiness on the big day. Thank goodness Rachel and Katie were there. They were pleasant, calm and a relaxing influence on the entire wedding party. At the same time, in complete command of the situation. Before the wedding, Rachel took control of all the details to make sure there would be no problems with any part of ceremony, reception, transportation, flowers, bakery, etc... Very happy. We would definitely recommend.

  Rachel is everything

  We could never have gotten through the last few weeks without Rachel. She was so helpful. She came up with ideas that we would have never thought of, a hanger for the dress, lunch for getting ready etc. I don't want to get to far into details without telling you the most important part. We forgot our rings and didn't realize it till about one hour prior to photos. Rachel literally got in her car and drove to my house and found where I hid the rings, in my closet in a bag! She even facetimed with me to assure me she was on her way to get them. We also had a groomsmen not show up until we were about to walk down the aisle and she came up with a back up plan and was able to calm my husband down. I can not tell you how amazing she was. She is available via text, email and facetime, I literally could not have asked for more. Hire Rachel, she is worth everything!

  Put simply, Rachel is superwoman. My parents have repeatedly said that they believe she was by far their best investment for our wedding. This Type-A, mildly neurotic bride managed to keep cool as a cucumber our entire wedding weekend, and such a big part of why I was able to sit back and truly, truly enjoy the beginning of my marriage was because Rachel handled the details and the logistics of the day—and leading up to the day—impeccably. A five-star review just doesn’t do her justice.
  
  The venue where my husband and I got married contractually required us to hire a “month-of” wedding coordinator—and looking back, we are so very grateful for that requirement. But at the time, the idea of hiring a planner made me pretty apprehensive—we were very excited to plan a wedding that was organically and authentically “us,” and we were concerned that a planner would turn our day into just another run-of-the-mill wedding. Unfortunately, after calls with a few different coordinators, my concerns were validated—too much talking about what they wanted to do, and not enough listening to what we wanted. Until we met Rachel! Rachel was the first person we felt genuinely wanted to help us make our wedding everything we wanted it to be, rather than mold our wedding into something else. And man, did she help our vision come to life!
  
  Rachel truly went above and beyond, joining us on our tasting, accommodating an additional in-person meeting closer to our wedding; she put me at ease, and helped us problem solve when we experienced some hiccups (needing a new officiant 7 weeks before the wedding, needing new napkins 7 days before the wedding), she was my sounding board and wedding-guru for questions such like... what’s the difference between a place card and an escort card?... how do you tuck a 132” linen on a tiny sweetheart table? And she handled much bigger items, like logistical conversations with our vendors leading... {ran out of space, refer to other forums for full review}

  The Plan it Perfect team was the glue that held our wedding together and enabled our vision to become a reality - with limited stress. During planning time, we thought we could "do it". A friend of mine wed his daughter 3 months prior to ours and stated "the best value of any wedding dollar he spent was with Rachel/Plan it Perfect". The name "Plan it Perfect" truly matches their approach and service ... and the results were awesome. As an example of a little detail that could have ended up in a stressful situation: The Bridal/Head Table was not set up according to the Final Plan. Rachel and team combed through all of the details, recognized it and sprung into action. Fixed it and no one - including the Bride & MoB - knew the issue was ever there. Another "value" example: Moments prior to entering the church, my daughter and I are having a spontaneous emotional moment. And there was Rachel - with her "tool kit" - filled with mouth wash spray, tissues and words of wisdom - "when it's about to hit, say your social security number...it'll take your mind off of it". It's like she knows what you are about to go through and diverts issues from happening or ensures all goes smoothly. Name pronunciations with the DJ, Limo coordination, etc. etc. etc. WELL WORTH THE VALUE and when you do business with such likable people, it makes it even better. By far the best dollars spent - Plan it Perfect. Final thought - an analogy: The coordination of a wedding is like a referee in a sporting event. If the ref does a great job, you don't even notice he/she are there...and all remember the game/players - what fans want. If he/she blows the call, all remember the Ref and the Bad call...and not the game/players. Same can be said about your wedding experience. The coordination of your wedding (organization of ALL the stuff) is like the ref. Hire Plan it Perfect - Experienced, Professional and personable - who will ensure a well coordinated wedding experience!

  We hired Rachel as our "day of" coordinator but ended up working with her on so much more. She was one of the best investments we made for our wedding. From my first meeting with her, Rachel assured me that my concerns about the day were normal and she was more than willing to work with me to customize specific services. She was prompt in her correspondence and also helpful in making recommendations for other vendors, many of which provided discounts because of the referral. When we had problems with our original venue, Rachel was not only a great sounding board, but stepped in to help me try and work out the issues we were having. Ultimately, we changed venues four months before the wedding, and Rachel not only helped us secure a new venue, but worked with us on linens and a menu. Her professionalism and patience were amazing and carried through to the wedding. She took care of every detail, including a 6:30am breakfast delivery to the bridal party. I didn't even find out until later that the best man lost one of the wedding bands shortly before the ceremony! If you are even considering hiring someone to help plan your wedding or provide services for the day, I would highly recommend Plan it Perfect. We could not have done it without Rachel and her team. ~ Ashley & Chris

  Rachel is WONDERFUL!! It's hard to match my organizational skills and love of to-do lists. Yet, Rachel surpasses me down to every Excel spreadsheet! She knew her audience in me and coordinated with me in a way that eased my stress levels a TON! No detail was overlooked and Rachel pulled off an incredible, elegant wedding with a nod to sports that many thought was impossible. She had amazing ideas and kept the day classy, but very fun! She is wonderful to work with and incredibly accommodating with meeting times. Most people say the week before their wedding is insanely busy. Because of Rachel, I could spend that week enjoying and visiting with family with not a worry in the world. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for help to navigate through the insanity that is planning a wedding (or any big event!)!!

  Rachel made our dream wedding come to life and we couldn't have done it without her! I worked with Rachel to plan my wedding in Baltimore while I was living in the Midwest, and she made it easy for me, my parents, and my now husband. She is highly responsive, thoughtful, and her vendor suggestions were AMAZING. She is knowledgeable about everything from traditions to trends, and we would have been lost without her ideas and attention to detail. She listened to exactly what I wanted and made it happen, and gave us great advice. I know that she worked extremely hard for us during the planning process and on the day of the wedding, but she made it seem easy and it really allowed us to relax and enjoy the weekend. I was nervous and stressed, but she really did help make it the best day of my life. My husband was also nervous, but two days later he was talking about when we could throw a big party again!! I am so grateful to Rachel and would highly recommend Plan It Perfect!!!!

  Working with Rachel was a dream! I had some apprehensions about planning a wedding from afar (live in FL, wedding in MD), but Rachel made sure to be available at times when I was physically in MD as well as via phone/email when things came up throughout the planning process. Her calm and professional manner on day-of really helped keep me relaxed, even with the last minute changes due to weather. Truly, it was the best day and more amazing than I ever could have imagined and her attention to all the details did not go unnoticed.

  Pick Rachel of Plan it Perfect. Just do it. My wedding was a mixed affair: my husband is African-America and I am Iranian-American. Neither my husband nor I are romantic in the traditional sense. I didn't grow up dreaming and planning my wedding-- it all just seemed like a huge hassle to me. I don't even enjoy GOING to weddings! So we put it off as long as we could (10+ years). But we knew how much a big, huge, wedding party meant to our parents and extended family and part of the reason we work as a couple (besides neither of us being terribly romantic) is that we prioritize our families' happiness equal to our own. And a huge wedding it would be-- we knew we were looking at a 200-300 person wedding between our families and friends (ended up being ~260). So all of this is to say that Rachel found herself planning a wedding for a couple who lived in Richmond, needed the wedding to happen in Baltimore, had a horrible ever-shifting schedule (I was finishing medical school at the time), didn't enjoy most of what other people like about wedding planning (although who doesn't enjoy cake tasting?), and needed to make a secular, family oriented blend of Iranian and African American wedding culture, music, decor, activities. And man, Rachel delivered. The "perfect" in the company name is no joke. Our wedding was really fun! The food, the drinks, the decor, the DANCING until 1 min prior to closing time.... even now I can't believe how smoothly it all went down. It's not just how well the big night went-- Rachel saved us so much money while delivering vendors that matched our values and style: intelligent, artistic, community aware, willing to take a risk and do something interesting. The vendors love working with her and that is a big part of why she does the excellent job she does. So in summary: have Rachel plan your wedding or any other large party. She will save you time, effort, energy, costs and work with you to deliver on what YOU find important.

  Rachel was a godsend for us!! My daughter and her then fiance decided in early November 2015 to get married on December 27, 2015. To say that we had little time to plan is an understatement, especially given that it was a first wedding for our family and no experience in budgeting, chosing vendors, developing a menu, etc. We also had a tight budget that got adjusted downward half way thru the planning process.
  But Rachel, her team and her contacts in the industry really came through for us. We had identified the venue - the Volmer Center at Cylburn Arboretum. Laurie, the manager there, recommended Rachel to us. We made an appointment for the next day and hired her on the spot. She made us feel so comfortable and did not regard our budget or timeline as an obstacle. She went to work right away - built an itemized budget, developed a timeline for the planning, identified a short list of caterers and a DJ, helped us think thru invitations and decorations. She made the appointments with vendors who felt they could work within our budget and who were available for the date. She was supported us every step of the way. When the budget changed, she worked with the caterers to reduce their costs.
  In the end, we had 90 guests in a magical setting, all of whom had a wonderful time thanks largely to her coordination and experience. We had a fabulous DJ (Bill Marsh of Carylsye Entertainment) who got everyone out on the floor dancing, a delicious dinner (thanks to Paul, Keara, Daniel and the staff at The Pantry Catering) and great wine and drinks (Wells LIquors).
  Rachel is extremely organized, yet very flexible and able to handle anything that comes her way. She does not get flustered or anxious - which is very helpful for the bridal couple and family. She great communicator, and is warm, friendly and joy to work with. We give her our highest recommendation.

  The simplest way of putting this is that I give Rachel my highest recommendation. She is down to earth, kind, on your side, organized, professional, and always classy. My beautiful outdoor garden paradise wedding, so long planned and dreamed of, ended up falling on big old rainy stormy day in Baltimore! And yet -- Rachel just held it all together and made my Plan B even better then my Plan A. It was an awesome event in a situation that really could have been a disaster. I am so grateful to her for being such a great partner. Four other random notes -- (1) I planned on a short time line 6 months, and she was so supportive and made it happen. other people I talked to were critical and made me feel like a freak. (2) I planned from New York, where I live now, and she did a great job of being my eyes and ears on the ground. (3) She totally got my energy, and was happy to offer advice, but also got that I didn't want to feel too bridey. (4) Every other vendor I talked to and worked with loves working with Rachel. Its really important that everyone get along and enjoy working together and she has such an awesome reputation all around town. A great thing! Thanks Plan it Perfect!

  Rachel and Cate at Plan it Perfect are necessary additions for the wedding day! They rocked it!! Since myself and the wedding party got ready at a different location from the venue we decided that a wedding coordinator would be needed to lessen the anxiety and stress of the day. I am so glad that Rachel and Cate were there with me throughout the day. We used their 'day of' wedding services and it was definitely worth it. They helped us at the rehearsal and made sure the actual day went smoothly by being the voice for my parents and I. Thank you again Rachel and Cate!

  If you are looking for a Day-of-Coordinator, & you do not go with Cate and Rachel of Plan It Perfect, you are making a big mistake. We got married at the AVAM in August 2015. We were concerned we'd have no one to tell us how to work out the day (especially since we were getting married by our friend who had just gotten ordained, so we really had no clue what we were doing), so we went on the hunt for a Day-of person. From our first meeting with Cate and Rachel, we felt at ease with their knowledge & expertise for putting on a wedding. I am the type of person who wants to control everything, & I really did not want to do that on my wedding day, so being able to trust them with running the show was a big deal; they did not disappoint. Although we had only purchased "day-of" services, they were helpful throughout the entire 8ish months of planning with any random questions I had. They were VERY responsive to calls & emails. Day-of really means Month-of with them, as they handled the walk-thru of the AVAM, our rehearsal and the coordination of the day and all of our vendors & services. On our walk-thru, I knew we were set because they asked questions for things I would never have thought of, & made sure every piece of our day was planned (which is what I wanted!). Cate was our actual Day-of person because Rachel's sister was getting married the same day, & she did an amazing job managing everything, along with her helper Sammy. She made sure every little detail we wanted worked out & that we did things at specific times & did not forget anything we wanted. She was also able to manage (& tolerate) our large, ridiculously inappropriate, & crazy wedding party. She was the perfect mix of commanding and fun, if that makes sense - haha! They really did make our day perfect & put us at ease with the planning of the actual day. They were the best money I've ever spent as they made my stress level about the wedding go down significantly. THANK YOU!!! <3 THE BABY POWDER!!!

  Rachel was amazing! She knew which vendors to contact to make our wedding day amazing. As one of the vendors put it, we had a vendor dream team! This was all due to Rachel's expertise. Rachel wasn't able to do the coordination for our entire wedding day, but she had one of her assistants, Natalie, step in. Natalie and Rachel's communication allowed us to have a stress-free and amazing day. Thank you, Rachel and Natalie!
