  Best Wedding Coordinator!

  Rachel went above and beyond as our planner, assisting in key decisions and helping us create the perfect wedding. Anything we could have possibly needed for build up and actual day was taken care of her swiftly and professionally, easing the burden on us significantly. I cant thank her enough for making our special day the best it could have possibly been.

  Rachel is the best of the best

  I don’t even know where to begin! We hired Rachel as a month of coordinator and her work far exceeded our expectations! She is VERY professional, knowledgeable, and organized. She was my voice of reason throughout the planning process. She kept me focused and helped calm me during the chaos of the 60 days before the wedding. She was such a great advocate for us. I can’t thank Rachel enough for everything! She went above and beyond to make our wedding the best day ever

  Incredible

  I can’t recommend Rachel enough! From our first phone call with Rachel, my wife and I knew that she was who we wanted to work with. We were looking to have a short engagement, and Rachel did an amazing job of setting our expectations. She let us know that it could be done, but also gave us her honest opinion of where we may have to make some compromises. We appreciated her upfront transparency and Rachel continued to provide her honest feedback & opinions throughout the planning process.
  
  We had many changes of our vision throughout the time we were working with Rachel. What started as a 20 person dinner, became a 60 person event, and ultimately landed as a 100 person tented wedding - yes in only 3 months time! Despite these changes, Rachel remained calm, upbeat and supportive - working flexibly and quickly to make our dream day and vision come true!! Additionally, Rachel’s connections in the Annapolis area, allowed us to secure INCREDIBLE vendors, even with such limited time to plan.
  
  Rachel was extremely responsive and communicative throughout the whole process - answering questions not only related to our wedding details, but also helping to calm or reassure any worries, stresses and anxieties we were having leading up to the day!
  
  When it came to the actual day of the wedding, Rachel was operating at 110%! She kept everything running extremely smoothly, efficiently and accurately down to the minute. She worked with all vendors to set everything up perfectly, allowing us to relax while she took care of everything behind the scenes!
  
  Overall, Rachel created and executed the perfect day for us, and we cannot recommend her enough, one of the best decisions we made for our day!

  Rachel SAVED the day, incredible experience!

  We were thrilled when we found out Rachel was available for our wedding in June of 2022. We had already done most the plannig but as the bride I really wanted someone I could trust to handle month/day of logistics. Rachel was SO organized and had an answer to all of my questions when I needed a second opinion! The day before our wedding our videographer fell through, and Rachel swooped in and had a replacement figured out within the hour! She literally saved the day and now we'll have a video we can cherish forever! Day of the wedding, she took everything off my plate so we could truly sit back and be guests at our own wedding. We are forever greatful to Rachel and would reccomend her to anyone and everyone, one of the best decisions we made!

  AMAZING experience with a wedding planner!

  We loved working with Rachel for our wedding! From the beginning, Rachel was very detail oriented and her primary concern was always creating what we envisioned for the day. She frequently went above and beyond to support us (e.g. volunteered to take on additional responsibility coordinating with vendors, assisting with decorations, etc.). Rachel has a friendly and warm personality. She is a very sharp and effective communicator and knows how to lead people well to coordinate things on the day of! Everyone in our family and wedding party loved working with her too. She provided her services at a very reasonable price.

  Loved working with Rachel!!

  Rachel was super responsive and very easy to work with. She had some great vendor ideas, especially for florals. Overall her positive spirit and calm demeanor helped me feel confident going into my big day day and allowed for everything to run smoothly.

  10/10 from start to finish

  Rachel was incredibly helpful from the brainstorming phase through day-of execution. There were so many times I realized I absolutely could not have pulled off this event without her, and I completely recommend the Rachel Kelly Events team to anyone who needs support in the planning or coordinating process. Day of I could be completely relaxed because Rachel and her team took care of everything behind the scenes!

  Top-Notch Wedding Planner in the DMV

  We had the opportunity of working with Rachel on a wedding at Whitehall and let me tell you, she did not disappoint as a wedding planner. From the time that she brought her clients in to pick out their rentals to the day of the wedding, she was extremely professional, easy to work with, and organized. You can tell she cares for each one of her clients and does her best to make sure they are in her best interest. If you are looking for a planner that will facilitate and make your wedding run as smoothly as possible, then Rachel is your gal!

  Wedding Planner

  AMAZING!! I cannot say enough great things about Rachel! She was there every step of the way! We had to postpone our wedding three times due to covid and each time she was there to help communicate with all the vendors, switch up our design based on season, and most importantly keep me, as the Bride, sane throughout the entire planning process. On top of this, my husband and I moved overseas which added another layer of stress for me. That was no hurdle for Rachel! She gracefully handled every aspect from logistics, to design, to execution of our vision! She listens, cares, and has become a great friend!

  Best decision I ever made!

  If I could give Rachel 100 stars, I would. Hiring her was the best decision we made for our wedding. Rachel is patient, kind, budget-savvy, creative, kind, and flexible. She has become a true friend. She was available for every breakdown I had, every late-night call, with words of compassion & guidance that made me feel better each time. I could not have navigated the stress of a wedding without her. We developed a customized package to fit within my budget, and she went above & beyond my expectations of her. She worked with me for a year before my wedding and was right by my side on my big day. When our buses didn't arrive to transport guests to the wedding, Rachel resolved the situation quickly & professionally. She made sure that our special day went off without a hitch - and it was absolutely perfect. I will never stop raving about Rachel to everyone I know getting married - everyone should hire her ASAP!!

  Best vendor of our wedding!

  We cannot say enough good things about Rachel. Going into wedding planning, we did NOT anticipate the ups and downs and just general stress and anxiety of the entire planning process. We got engaged and hired Rachel prior to the pandemic with the goal of offloading stress and being able to feel like guests at our own wedding. Once it became apparent that we would need to adjust our plans due to covid, Rachel was with us every single step of the way and ultimately made our very tiny micro wedding feel like the wedding of our dreams. Rachel has a great eye for beautiful things and managed to make our 15 guest wedding more beautiful than we could’ve ever had done ourselves. She offered ideas and solutions (almost daily, as things changed so frequently due to the pandemic) for every single struggle we ran into. She truly was the go-to on our wedding day, and despite our venue offering a day of coordinator, we were SO grateful to have had Rachel there to ensure everything went smoothly and to coordinate all our vendors. Despite all the stress of planning a corona wedding, we truly did feel like guests at our own reception due to Rachel’s hard work.

  Everything we needed for our wedding

  Rachel was amazing on our special day! The planning started a few weeks before the wedding and she was super helpful in finalizing details and helping me troubleshoot//decide some aspects of the wedding that I was unsure about. She communicated exactly what she needed from me which was extremely helpful when my brain was going 10,000 directions.
  
  I was so grateful to have Rachel on our wedding day-- she did such a great job coordinating vendors, distributing final payments, overseeing setup, and monitoring the timeline. I did not have to talk to a single person on my wedding day and it was awesome. At one point, there was a minor family emergency and Rachel totally swooped in a managed me and the situation with grace and tact. Honestly, the day could have been an absolute disaster and I would have no idea because Rachel handled EVERYTHING and never once seemed stressed.
  
  Highly recommend!!

  Full Planning Service

  Rachel is the absolute best! I could not imagine planning our wedding without her. Rachel worked with us throughout the entire process to create a wedding day that was meaningful and unique to us. She was able to take our ideas and turn them into the most beautiful details. From finding us the perfect venue, to helping me choose my dream dress, Rachel was encouraging the entire time. Rachel eased all of our anxieties and helped us to find vendors that matched our style and brought our vision to life. We would have been lost without her! Rachel has a true talent for design and thoughtfully incorporated our family’s heritage into our ceremony and reception. So many of our guests took the time to compliment how much the day felt like Leo and I. Our wedding day was everything we hoped for, and more with Rachel’s expertise.

  wedding coordinator

  Rachel did an incredible job making our wedding beautiful and organized. We had a fairly DIY wedding and she was so encouraging through all the details and so kind and patient on the day of our wedding. She thought through each thing needed for the day whether schedule, materials or roles that people played on our day. We could not recommend her services more!!

  Friendly, Flexible, Easy-Going; Made Our Day Special!

  I remember starting the wedding planning process and my then fiance at the time and I agreed that we wanted to hire a planner to help with the day of coordination. When I first talked with Rachel, it was as if I had known her my whole life. She was super approachable and friendly! Right from the start, she was in our corner and we felt supported and cared for. Rachel's communication with us and our vendors was professional and so quick. She was extremely flexible with our changes and she was extremely helpful in recommending some of our other vendors. She helped oversee the decor and helped set up our venue space. She was in our corner the whole time and she had our back! She helped us in a bind when it came to bustling my dress too! Rachel is amazing and I cannot recommend her enough! She is truly a jack of all trades! She made our special day even more special and she was always there if we needed anything and answered our many questions. She made the day so easy and we didn't need to worry about anything! Thank you Rachel for everything!
