They were absolutely beautiful and Rachel exceeded our expectations. She listen to our needs and was very accommodating. She provided examples and made sure everything was fresh. We received so many compliments from our wedding party and guests!

We worked with Rachel to host a medium size Indian & Mexican bicultural reception party in downtown Austin for 125 guests which turned out so beautiful and fun for all. She made it a hassle free experience throughout the planning process and on our party day! We had over a dozen vendors and less than 12 weeks to plan our event, and she was available to help answer questions, advice, and provide guidance along the way- something I was worried I wouldn't get from a planner when I was searching for one. Rachel came highly recommended by a friend who had worked with her for her wedding, and we are so happy we went with her for our special celebration! She is also an amazing florist and made our floral arch which served as the main backdrop for guest photos, the party decor and the florals were even better than the vision photos we shared during our planning. We hope to host another party with Rachel's help in the future and couldn't recommend her enough! -

Rachel was so easy to work with! We had about 50 people for our wedding and cocktail party style reception. I gave Rachel my budget, some color ideas, and a general idea of where I wanted flower arrangements and let her run with it from there. What she came up with was absolutely perfect and beautiful. The spray on the arch piece was stunning - lots of guests took additional pictures there. After the reception, we took all the flowers home for a second reception we had at the house the following day then took many of the arrangements to a retirement home after that. Those that we kept held up for nearly a week!
Every time I reached out to Rachel with questions, she was always quick to respond and never left me wondering about anything. Her online system made payment easy with reminders for when the next payment was due. It really was all super easy and we couldn't have been happier with our choice.
PS - I wish I had good pictures to add! Several friends sent pics of the flowers from their phones because they loved them so much but the image size is too small to include with my review. :( -

Being in the entertainment business, I meet and work with hundreds of vendors every year. When I say I have high standards, it’s because often times the people those vendors I work with (which I often don’t get to choose) directly impact MY ability to deliver an event or performance as smoothly as promised to my client.
I met Rachel of R&R Floral and Events at one such occasion where I was hired to provide a coordinated performance with the couple for their reception entrance. None of us had ever met face to face prior to this moment, but having Rachel there was incredibly helpful. She spoke WITH me, not AT me, and made the whole experience seamless with her excellent communication and attention to detail so that we could all have an easy experience.
Then when I found out she also did the flowers at this event, I was blown away! They were IMPECCABLE. Each arrangement had an artistry to it that didn’t look like your typical close spherical arrangement most other florists carried.
So when it came to designing the wedding of my own dreams, I got married in a garden rife with tropical plants and wild flowers. I wanted my bouquet to mimic that, as if I had just stroller through the garden and gathered my favorites.
I remembered Rachel’s arrangements at the event we had met, and reached out to see if she would only create my bouquet and sent some inspo pics.
What she created for me went above and beyond my expectations, and was the most affordable florist I had spoken to. That’s not why I chose Rachel—I had just submitted requests for multiple florist quotes in case she wasn’t available—but her skill, communication, clear grasp of my vision, and staying within my budget made her an easy choice.
And then I opted to pick up my own bouquet, which she was very flexible on. She event coordinated with my MOH on how to travel with it, care for it, and how I should hold it for best photo ops. I was blown away!
I will definitely be choosing Rachel again if I have an opportunity to have florals at any of my events. I’m only getting married once, and she made that day extra magical with her bouquet. 💖

Rachel was very responsive throughout the process. We didn't have a large budget, but she was attentive to our requests and was accommodating to changes we made at the end. She also has great taste. The flowers she selected matched our vision perfectly and all of the flowers were fresh and beautiful. If you need a florist for your wedding, whether big or small, don't hesitate to reach out. You won't be disappointed. -

RR Events = perfect wedding
Rachel was referred to us by a friend, and after talking to her, we immediately hired her for floral and wedding planning. She made the entire process a breeze.
Her floral proposal was so beautiful that we utilized it as a color palette for the entire wedding, and the outcome of the floral design was absolutely gorgeous.
Rachel was SO organized, communicative, responsible, and experienced that we knew she just had it throughout the entire process. I personally have difficulty trusting that people will get stuff done, and a hard time with being taken care of in any way, and Rachel just made us both feel so safe and cared for.
On our wedding day, she seemed to be everywhere all the time, steering the ship seamlessly and seemingly effortlessly (though I know it was SO much work.) I can't imagine my wedding day without her, I'd recommend her to anyone with zero reservations.
P.S. I feel like I probably owe her for a few therapy sessions when she talked me out of my anxiety spirals and set me on course for creating the wedding of OUR dreams, no one else's. -

Rachel and her team are incredibly responsive, effective, and just all around on top of it--but she does it with a big smile on her face and the utmost respect and understanding. We chose R&R for day-of coordination, with 2 months of lead-up help. She was helpful in ways I didn't know we needed. We had a 400 person wedding with two very chaotic and stubborn cultures, and we left our wedding drama-free because of how beautifully she and her team coordinated through the mayhem, all with a warm attitude. Would recommend R&R through and through, and whether she likes it or not, we now consider Rachel a friend. -

Very happy and satisfied floral experience!
Rachel did an incredible job for us from the bridal flowers and boutonnieres to the venue floral arrangements. She took my daughter's vision for a unique event and came through on all accounts. Rachel was up front with costs and kept everything within our budget. She was also great at communicating with us during the entire process. I could not have been happier with the service she provided. I would recommend her to anyone and everyone. -

Wonderful experience!
Rachel is extremely creative and so easy to work with! I gave her a general idea of what I wanted and she pulled together gorgeous centerpieces that were beyond my expectations. She was always very responsive any time I had a question and has such a calm demeanor--exactly what you need when managing all the moving parts of an event. I would highly recommend her! -

Rachel was wonderful to work with, from my very first email with her to the wedding day! When I first reached out to her, I had not finalized a wedding date yet because I had trouble finding a venue, but Rachel was patient and flexible with me (and went above and beyond by even making a few venue recommendations to help me). Upon sending her information regarding what my dreams were for my wedding florals, Rachel sent the most beautiful and professional proposal. She was quick to respond to all my inquiries leading up to the wedding, she was so kind through the whole process, her prices were excellent, and the end product was absolutely beautiful! She captured my wedding floral dreams PERFECTLY! I highly recommend working with Rachel. She is everything a wedding vendor should be... delivering a beautiful, well-priced product, while ensuring your special day is stress-free! -

Two weeks after our wedding and I'm still struggling to adequately describe how integral Rachel and R&R Events were to making our celebration FLAWLESS.
I could go on and on about the hard work, thoughtfulness and precision Rachel brought to our celebration, but let me put it this way: when you invest in a wedding coordinator, you're not just paying for someone's time on the day-of, you're investing in that person's breadth of expertise and track record in planning and executing memorable events. And we can absolutely say that Rachel and R&R Events were the best investment we made with our wedding budget.
Rachel is organized, professional and efficient. She is both your biggest cheerleader and your staunchest advocate. She is always cool as a cucumber and truly makes you feel like you're her #1 priority all the time, even while she's working on other events. And most importantly, she is an absolute pleasure to work with. I have so much confidence in Rachel, I began recommending R&R Events to friends who are getting married even before our wedding happened.
We engaged R&R Events for our ceremony and reception florals, as well as event coordination. We had an 11th hour change to our venue space that necessitated some quick thinking and creativity. Rachel very capably took all of this in stride, perfectly executing our vision for both ceremony and reception. I believe this is due in part to the seamless continuity of having R&R Events handle both florals and planning, but in larger part to Rachel's precision organization and flexibility. Rachel knows exactly what it takes to make an event run seamlessly for the couple, for the guests and for the vendors (all of whom said it was one of the best-executed events they had been part of). On the floral/decor side, I could not have asked for more. From sourcing hundreds of candles for our ceremony and reception, to designing the bouquet, cake flowers and centerpieces, every piece was gorgeous, thoughtfully designed and perfectly executed.
R&R Events is a five-star service at an absolutely accessible price. Run, don't walk, to book them for your wedding!

Laz Sent on 11/08/2022We used the wedding coordination package that starts 4-6 weeks out from the wedding date. Rachel provided amazing service.
We had already done the bulk of our wedding planning on our own when we were recommended Rachel’s services by a friend. If we could do it all over, we would have loved to have worked with her from the start. She got us across the finish line and ensured that our wedding day was as stress free and fun as possible. There is nothing like the security of knowing you’re in capable hands. Of all of our wedding expenses, Rachel’s coordination package was absolutely the greatest value for cost, hands down. Rachel’s many skills (professional, warm communication, attention to detail, thinking three steps ahead, extensive experience) make her highly effective and a pleasure to work with. I’m so thankful that we found her and would highly recommend her to anyone in need of event planning services. -

Rachel with R&R Events made my daughter’s rehearsal dinner and most importantly, her wedding day, calm and smooth leaving us to relax and enjoy. The company provided the illusion of a flawless wedding when in actuality there were hiccups and missteps as to be expected - R&R just dealt with them quietly and professionally, all the time promoting the positive and upbeat vibe of the day. I highly recommend R&R Event! -

I loved working with Rachel. She is experienced, kind, professional, thoughtful, and responsive. She is proactive without being overbearing. I got married right in the middle of a dreadful heat wave, and the AC went out in my bridal suite on the day of the wedding. While keeping everything else running on time, she worked to get it resolved quickly and without stress. I would recommend her to anyone in my orbit looking for a planner. -

Rachel created an amazing experience that I actually got to enjoy.
We found Rachel through a friend who had hired her for their wedding. Their only regret was not hiring her from the very beginning. We did work with Rachel from the start of our planning and would highly recommend it. She created an experience that I actually got to enjoy throughout the planning process and on the day of my wedding. Rachel also did the flowers and they were epic! I have since hired her for multiple baby showers. Thank you for everything, Rachel! -

Clarisa M. Sent on 01/05/2022Perfect Beach Wedding!!!
Rachel with R&R Events treated my beach wedding as if it were her own. She handled vendors, decor, floral & literally ANYTHING that was for day of. The floral work she did was so amazing, and I couldn’t have imagined a more beautifully arranged arch for us to get married under. She was on top of every little detail that I hadn’t even thought up- even helping my little sister ensure she did what she needed to to become ordained to perform our ceremony. AND she even reviewed the ceremony itself with her to ensure it was to my liking (I still wanted to be surprised on the day of, but I wanted to ensure my little sister wasn’t sharing TOO much.) She took care of communicating with the vendors, and clearing up things I wasn’t okay with on my behalf, so I didn’t have to look like the bad guy…
The scheduled calls with her were perfect- she was organized and on top of it, so I didn’t have to be! I had a vision for what I wanted our intimate beach wedding to look like, and she nailed it with just me describing what I wanted. I especially appreciated how she encouraged me to not sugar coat feedback on floral designs, etc.
The day of was literally so stress free. I was not worried about ANYTHING. I was able to concentrate on getting ready because I knew Rachel was taking care of everything.
If there were any hiccups, which I found out there were a couple, minor ones after the fact, I had no idea when they were occurring because she handled them without involving me, which I appreciated!
I only have beautiful, awesome memories from my special day, and I 100% know it’s because I chose Rachel & R & R Events. -

RACHEL WAS A GREAT FIND! I HAD LESS THAN 9 MONTHS TO PLAN MY WEDDING FOR 100 PEOPLE AND RACHEL DID NOT BLINK AN EYE. I HIRED HER FOR THE MONTH OUT BEFORE MY WEDDING AND SHE HELPED ARRANGE ALL THE VENDORS, MADE SURE EVERYONE WAS ON TIME AND EXECUTED MY FLOWERS BEAUTIFULLY. I FELT STRESS-FREE ON MY DAY KNOWING SHE HAD EVERYTHING TAKEN CARE OF. I WOULD HIRE HER AGAIN FOR ANY LARGE EVENT AND ABSOLUTELY FOR ANY FLOWER ARRANGEMENTS FOR SPECIAL EVENTS. -

I ordered a custom floral arrangement for my mom, and requested that it be “low scent” if possible, as my mom has strong allergies. Rachel went above and beyond, researching and choosing flowers that would be safe. My mom was thrilled and can’t stop talking about how nice it is. -

Rachel did all of the floral for my wedding, and everything turned out so beautiful! I honestly had no clue when it came to florals what I really wanted, and Rachel was there every step of the way with me throughout the decision-making process. She was so patient and gave great feedback! Ultimately I was very happy with how everything turned out and cannot thank her enough! Rachel is so kind and professional, she is also a great resource for a confused bride (like I was!) and was able to help me create a look I had always dreamed of. I am forever grateful for Rachel, and would highly recommend her!!
