Travis Sent on 11/04/2025What A Breeze
Working with RAWM was amazing. They took the stress out of wedding planning and the big day, and made it more enjoyable than we thought it was going to be. The questionnaires, planning calls, and general guidance from Kalika and staff guided us towards a personalized and very memorable experience. Working with everyone was a breeze and we were so thankful to have them there with us during the big day, ensuring everything went off without a hitch. Can't recommend them enough! -

Lauren Sent on 10/28/2025Mount Tamalpais wedding review
My now husband and I Garrett are from Ohio and decided we wanted to get married in California but we wanted something very different. After having our first meeting with Kalika we knew she understood our vision assured me everything would be fine due to us not living anywhere near. She actually suggested our location in Mount Tamalpais and we couldn’t have been more excited to be one of her first clients with this venue. If I changed anything or was worried she assured me everything was going to be perfect the entire time. Our photographer Stephanie understood I just wanted it showcase us and she did just that. I can’t thank this company enough for supporting us and letting our vision come to life. -

Working with Run Away With Me team was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. Their professionalism and seamless coordination made the entire planning process feel stress free and enjoyable. From the very beginning, their communication was thoughtful, timely and always reassuring.
On the day of, we were truly blown away by the attention to detail that was provided. Everything came together so beautifully, and i'm still in awe that it was truly my wedding experience. The team worked in perfect sync to bring our vision to life, and we couldn't be more grateful. Our day was everything we dreamed of– classic, meaningful, and unforgettable–not just for us, but all of our family and friends who attended. So much of our experience is thanks to the incredible quality of service and care RAWM team provided. -

Look no further than RAWM for your Napa/Sonoma Valley wedding. All the details from consultation to event execution was absolute perfection. Having your special day in the hands of their team will allow you to focus on what matters most, your day and ceremony. I can’t thank them enough for such a wonderful day. I loved all the moments. -

Thanks to Run Away With Me, we had an even more perfect wedding than we had ever dreamed of! My husband and I eloped in October at Harvest Inn. The entire team was truly excellent at their jobs. Officiant Noah’s marriage script was impressive. My makeup and hair turned out even better than I had imagined.
Throughout the wedding, Makenna took care of every detail.
I wore high-heeled wedding shoes, and something was placed under them to make it easier for me to walk on the dirt area. Thinking of this definitely saved me! Small gestures like this are incredibly meaningful. Many details we hadn’t even thought of were carefully considered. Everything we needed for our wedding was provided, and every detail was beautifully taken care of.
Our photographer, Stephanie, captured these special moments in the most beautiful way. Everyone was friendly, fun, and kind. We had such an enjoyable time with everyone. Our wedding venue was just as beautiful as it looked in the photos. Everything was absolutely amazing! -

Isabella Sent on 12/24/2024RAWM gave me a wedding that was BEYOND my wildest dreams.
I honestly had no idea the scale of the task of planning the wedding of my dreams when I set the date. I also happened to be in my last year of law school and studying for the bar during the year leading up to it, so to say the least I was incredibly busy and stressed out and many people justifiably gasped that I was trying to make a wedding happen at the same time. My partner and I needed to make it happen anyway due to our employment schedules. Thank god we found RAWM to make the impossible possible. From day 1, RAWM held my hand every step of the way so I was able to focus on finishing law school AND have the wedding of my dreams. I am very picky with aesthetics and detail oriented, and I knew I wanted a wedding that was extremely unique and didn't follow the typical formula. They completely understood what I described and made it a reality. At times I didn't truly know what I wanted, I just knew the "vibe," and they helped me discover how to bring it to life! On the big day--the greatest day of my life!!--there were all sorts of unforeseen logistical problems (rain and flooding!) which didn't even phase OR my guests, because made sure we were completely in the moment eve as they mobilized like navy seals to solve every problem on the fly. I can't count the number of people who told me it was the best wedding they've ever been to. If you're searching for planners and reading this, stop what you're doing, don't hesitate, and HIRE THEM. -

What a joy to work with this team!! They were great at managing expectations, making great suggestions, anticipating possible problems and delivering solutions. We ended up having unexpected rain at our event and they swept in and saved the day!! I wasn't even aware of many of the problems that were solved as they just handled them. Love love love the RAWM team! -

The Run Away with Me team was incredible. They made all my dreams come true and were so easy to work with. Kalika made it so seamless and I loved our photographer, Stephanie. The team was a blessing and so helpful to pull this off for us as we were traveling from out of town. From making us feel so comfortable and that this was our day to recommending other great vendors that helped to make this the best experience. Would highly recommend!!! -

Best wedding planner ever!!

Raven Sent on 09/19/2024The best decision of our entire wedding planning process!
Run Away With Me made our wedding day perfect. We cannot recommend them enough. Whether you're looking to plan a small elegant elopement or Big White Wedding, the Run Away With Me team will make your dreams come true.
When my husband and I started planning, we had no idea what we wanted and were daunted by the sheer amount of choices facing us. Kalika and Sarah walked us through each of the decisions before us with astounding industry knowledge, were nonjudgmental about our budget, and struck the perfect balance of keeping us realistic while delivering the positivity and assurance that our wedding day would be everything we ever wanted. They are such experts. As we got closer to the wedding, they would start each planning call with a check-in to be attentive to our stress levels. We left each interaction with them feeling less stressed and more excited than we started, which really allowed us to enjoy being engaged and the wedding planning process as much as possible.
On the day of our wedding, Kalika, Sarah, Makenna and Stephanie were superheroes. They absolutely nailed the details -- our tablescapes and bouquets looked straight from our Pinterest inspo pictures! The team was attentive, calm, confident, and sweet -- right there to solve any issue that arose (without even giving a hint that an issue had ever arisen) and able to melt into the background just as easily while the party continued. Not to mention, when our officiant (a family member) backed out last minute, Kalika even stepped in to officiate for us. It was beautiful and we have received so many comments afterwards about how incredible the ceremony was.
As a neurotic perfectionist, I was so worried that I wouldn't be able to relax enough to enjoy my wedding day -- but thanks to Run Away With Me I was relaxed, happy, and felt taken care of enough to enjoy a magical day with my new husband and our family and friends. I can say without a doubt that the best decision of our entire wedding planning process was working with Run Away With Me. -

Dominique Sent on 12/12/2023Best decision ever was to elope!
Best decision was to elope thanks to RWME weddings. The best part was the entire experience. Always one step ahead of me. I felt guided the whole way by Kalika. Beautiful ceremony, ministry, guidance, and delicious cake! Everything went so smoothly, I wasnt nervous at all. We were beyond thankful for the beautifu bouquets and having the whole setup just like we imagined. The photographer was also amazing felt like my personal photographer who knew us. When we turned in our marriage license we even recommended Run Away With Me and the photographer to a couple looking to be married. Don't miss the opportunity to meet these two if your looking for the most memorable experience. Thank you and we send our love for all the future ceremonies. -

Melissa Sent on 08/22/2023An absolute dream wedding
This review comes extremely late, as our wedding was last Sept (2022)
But it’s really important for me to leave a review for the entire RAWM team, with a special shout out to Sarah, and our photographer Steph.
Our wedding at Vintners Resort was an absolute dream.
I cannot say enough good things about the RAWM team. They went above and beyond for our special day, and everything flowed seamlessly. The ceremony was beautiful and the decor was exactly how I imagined it.
The guests were all so pleased with the live music at the the cocktail hour, the dinner menu and drinks and evening dancing.
The outdoor reception was breathtaking with the chandeliers and outdoor lights.
Steph was great to work with as our photographer, she made us feel incredibly comfortable the entire time, and the photos turned out so lovely.
We all travelled from out of country, including all 28 guests, and they helped make every step of the planning process simple, the dashboard is user friendly, and to our surprise they even brought out a special birthday cake for the groom (our wedding day was also his birthday).
They saved the bride and groom menu card for me as a memory and even brought the extra wedding cake back to our hotel room for us, which we brought and served to our guests at the “morning after brunch” (all of these extra details that they thought of made the day even more special)
Thank you for helping make our dream wedding come true. We still have guests that tell us it’s the most fun wedding they’ve ever been to. -

I was struggling when I first was looking for venues and planners. Everything was crazy expensive and a lot of vendors were super unresponsive which was SO frustrating.
Run Away with Me is responsive, professionalism, timely, and most of all kind. They made me feel reassured when my feelings were flying everywhere. I might just take them up for an anniversary celebration! (Or vow renewals (; ) -

RAWM brought my dream fairytale wedding to life! I am based in Florida and planned my entire Napa wedding with RAWM. Brianne was excellent at communicating through email and phone calls. Sarah was my day of coordinator along with Kari. They kept everything on schedule and eased my nerves throughout the whole day. Sarah even helped me fix my dress when a button popped off. Stephanie made us feel so comfortable through our photos and the photos turned out amazing! Our wedding day went perfectly and I will cherish the memories forever. I highly recommend RAWM to plan your dream wedding! -

I could not be happier about how our elopement played out! Our planners at The Run Away With Me (RAWM) with me were attentive, easy to work with, and kind but professional. They laid out simple options and provided everything we needed even though we chose to keep it very simple. Most importantly they made it fun!
On the day of, they kept us as ease, surprised us with amazing details and all we had to do was meet at the location! Our elopement was everything we could have imagined and more (thank you to them for thinking of all the little things!) We recommend them highly!

The best wedding planners in California!
From our very first phone call to the end of the wedding day, Run Away With Me was absolutely incredible. They are beyond professional, informative, soo kind and really made me feel so special and important! Our wedding was a dream come true and we couldn’t have done it without them. They have thought of everything and more to make your most special day perfect. Every step of the way felt so effortless. We live in the Florida Keys so planning a destination wedding in wine country sounded quite daunting- I came across Run Away With Me researching the area and I’m SOOO happy I went with them. The entire team is so sweet and professional, they answered any and all of my questions and made me felt at ease. Every one of our guests was also blown away. The flowers, the food, the photography, when I say they took care of everything and made the day feel absolutely seamless I mean it! I was all smiles every step of the way. All our guests kept saying this was the best most beautiful wedding they have ever been to lol and I have some honest and opinionated friends haha. We had our wedding at the Robert Young Winery and omg it was just STUNNING. We cannot wait to come back for every anniversary already. I hear so many brides stressing out about all the little details because there are a million little details however the Run Away With Me team already has it all figured out- easy breezy. You can be as hands on or off as you’d like, they are amazingly accommodating. I can’t even begin to describe how GORGEOUS my flowers were, the cake was heavenly, the fresh local food and ingredients were to die for. There wasn’t one moment where I wasn’t gushing over every little detail they thought about. The day was so lovely and stress free- I still can’t stop smiling about it all. We danced and laughed and had the best time. We even rented a little vintage photobooth called Hitch and let me tell you- it was a hit! The cute photobooth strips of pictures we got are the cutest! The Run Away Team was available and ready to answer any questions every step of the way, especially the weeks and days leading up and the day of they were incredible, I really felt like they were my closest friends making sure every angle was paid attention to. If you’re looking to have the most beautiful small wedding or event that you want all your guests to feel loved and welcome you need to go with this company. I wish I could relive our big day over and over again, it really was the best!!! -

The Perfect Team for a Stress-free Wedding
Don't hesitate in hiring Run Away With Me for your wedding in Wine Country! They made it so easy to get married. The only thing we had to do on our end was fill out some surveys, pick a couple of songs and get our wedding license. They did all the rest! The venue was gorgeous, the photographer was a delight and our planner had everything ready. It was the most stress-free event I've ever participated in. The cake was yummy and the champagne brought just enough sparkles to our New Year's Eve wedding. It was perfect!!! -

Run Away With Me turned our pandemic wedding into a stress-free, spectacular and meaningful event.
Run Away With Me made our wedding planning so seamless and easy. Our May 2020 wedding, like many others, had to be canceled due to the pandemic, which, of course, was disappointing and could have been a disaster. As busy doctors (my husband works on the front line) in the beginning of the pandemic, managing a wedding would have been impossible for us. But the Run Away With Me staff was immediately responsive and communicative; they took care of everything for us! They postponed and rescheduled our wedding as soon as the venue was allowed to host events in 2021. I can’t imagine how difficult it must have been to manage all of those moving parts! But, it was definitely worth the wait! The wedding and all the details were spectacular and beyond anything I could have done myself. Even the hair and make up artist was scheduled for me and my bridesmaid. Our guests were blown away by the beauty of the event. The venue, wine, food, etc. were top notch. We literally just had to show up and be present in our hearts for our wedding day. -

Wesley Sent on 08/23/2021"Effortless Perfection"
RAWM - The Run Away With Me (RAWM) team was extremely enjoyable to work with, especially in a challenging time to host an event! Their onboarding process, proposal portal, and event portal were very intuitive and helpful. Their fixed price model creates peace of mind and simplifies the financial side of planning a wedding.
Kalika – Kalika, our planner/day-of coordinator was amazing! It only took like 4 inspirational photos and one phone call for her to digest, envision, and co-create our dream wedding. Leading up to our wedding, she partnered with the venue coordinator to ensure that both sides were always on the same page. On the big day, she did a great job of keeping everything on time, making it feel easy, and doing it with a smile!
Vendors – Our officiant, photographer, hair/makeup stylist, DJ, and shuttle drivers were all extremely professional, punctual, highly skilled, and pleasant to be around. It was evident that most of our vendors work events for RAWM on a consistent basis. The collaboration and familiarity made it feel like one team, led by Kalika and RAWM!
WOW Factor – Both our wedding guests and friends that have seen pictures, described our wedding as a “dream” and a “vibe”. My wife and I described our wedding as “effortless perfection”. The RAWM team, with help from the venue team, made all that possible!
Highly Recommend - Planning our wedding was simple, fun, and very low stress, thanks to RAWM. Our wedding day was exactly what we envisioned and we were able to be present and enjoy it with our friends and family, thanks to RAWM! -

Wine Country Elopement
My husband and I got married with Run away with me weddings one week ago and it could not have been a more perfect day. Everything was perfection and stress free. We had a lot of stress with rescheudling our wedding multiple times this year that we decided to elope just the two of us.
Run away with me weddings and all there vendors did everything for us and it made it the most relaxing and stress free wedding day we could of possibly imagined. I would use them in a heart beat again.
Kalika was great at reassuring us that no matter what the wedding would still happen even with the on-going shutdowns
Stephanie was the most fun upbeat photographer and took the most amazing photos of our special day.
Everyone else who helped make our day special was so great and we could not have asked for a better team and better experience to have. It was such a special day we will remember forever. -

Patricia Sent on 04/11/2020They truly made all our wedding plans simple & easy!
Our experience with Run Away With Me was more than we ever expected. From the very first phone conversation that I had with them I knew they were going to be our wedding planners. We had an Elopement Destination Wedding and got married on Valentines Day 2020 in Sonoma CA. They truly made all our wedding plans so simple and easy. They completely took away the stress of planning and made our experience amazing! They guide you through the entire process from A to Z without you having to stress over anything. How amazing are they? Well, funny story. I forgot my wedding shoes! What am I going to do? I text our wedding planner Kalika at 5:30 a.m. She responds with, what size are you? I'm a size 7 so she responds: Hmmm... I'm an 8 but let me ask around and see if we can find you some awesome something borrowed shoes. What does your dress look like? All I can say to myself is WOW! I am beyond grateful and thankful for such caring and amazing staff! Needless to say that my now husband had some time to kill while I got my hair and makeup done for the big day. He went shopping and found me the perfect wedding shoes. I would do it all over again in a heartbeat and that is why I totally recommend Run Away With Me! -

Everything about this company is amazing. They created a personalized and heavily detailed elopement with less than 10 days notice. My husband and I work insane hours and it was incredible to have someone else take care of all the planning and simply show up the day of. We could not have been happier with the vendors, the decor, the photos, our coordinator, and all of the little extras along the way.

I was so excited to find a service that would enable me to do absolutely nothing for my own wedding but pin my ideas and wants! They were amazing from the first phone call. They spoke to me and asked questions about what my fiancé and I liked and how we saw our ceremony. What was important, traditional or unique. Every detail from flowers to cake to makeup was taken care of. All we had to do was show up with our wedding clothes. The pictures were absolutely spectacular! The wedding planner Kalika answered any and all of my questions not only about our ceremony but the area and hotels etc...I could not have had an easier more beautiful STRESS FREE wedding and I have Run Away With Me to thank for that. I have told everyone and anyone what a wonderful job they did. I highly recommend them for a flawless ceremony. -

Best Day Ever
It can be quite intimidating planning a destination wedding, however, we had an excellent experience with Run Away with Me. Everything was seamless, effortless and exceeded all expectations. Kalika was extremely friendly, helpful, and accommodating. We always felt comfortable reaching out and were met with a quick and warm response. On the day of the wedding Kalika made sure everything was executed to plan and tied it all together beautifully. Every vendor they chose, from the make-up artists to the officiant made us feel special. A wedding is supposed to be one of the greatest days of your life and Run Away with Me made that a reality. We would highly recommend Run Away with Me. -

Michele Sent on 10/02/2019Perfection!
It’s been a minute since our wedding in August, better late than never. My husband and I, and remarkably all of our guests really, want to shout out to the world about how great Run Away With Me (special shout out to the amazing Kalika) is at making dreams come true. From the beginning, all through the planning process up until our special day, the entire relationship and dedication to us as a couple was…. well it was perfect. We had some out of the ordinary requests, like for our tiered cake, we wanted it made from individual chocolate chip cookies. They knocked it out of the park. We have a special Lithuanian cocktail that is served at all our family gatherings, without sharing our secret recipe, our planners worked with the mixologists at the Inn to duplicate it so we could include it as one of our signature cocktails… JUST WOW – How incredibly special. We requested a turtle luge – it was amazing. We wanted songs from the sound track of Dances With Wolves played as our progression music in conjunction with live strings, there wasn’t a dry eye on the lawn, we even had our own officiant (who was amazed at the organization of our ceremony), we requested a special Tchaikovsky Overture at the exact time the sun set, it didn’t disappoint, we had special dances, the perfect mix of dance music, and my favorite - the table settings and my bouquet.
The table settings were so amazing; the venue even made a watercolor from one of the photos to promote their place as a great wedding venue. JUST WOW!!! My bouquet, as a horticulturist and a former florist, was the most beautiful arrangement I have EVER seen, including my own designs.
Our planners worked in concert with the venue personnel to make sure everything went smoothly. During the wedding I was not asked one time for anything …. NOT ONCE… NOT FOR ANYTHING. SIMPLY AMAZING!
While we were getting ready, during our ceremony and reception, the RAWM photographer (special shout out to most amazing Stephanie) perfectly captured the majesty of our day. It was truly, TRULY a fairy tale; we have had so many of our guests tell us it was the best wedding they have ever been to. We are eternally grateful for Brittany, Kalika, Sara, Stephanie and the entire RAWM team for a wonderfully spectacular, perfect wedding day.
If you are looking for a perfect wedding day, with planners who become part of the family, call Run Away with Me. You won’t be disappointed. They are simply… PERFECT at what they do.

Where do I even start? Thank you Kalika, Britt, Stephanie and Katie for giving us one of the best days of our lives! I literally had to do NOTHING but show up with my dress.

Jamee Sent on 09/23/2018Choosing this company was the best wedding decision we could have ever made. They make decision making simple and the options are endless and beautiful. They crafted our dream wedding and we didn’t have to lift a finger; through their planning process they get to know you and your vision and bring it to life! The customer service was over the top, the quality of design, decor, food, and literally every aspect of the wedding day was ridiculously amazing. Living so far away from the venue and not having been to the area, we were really going out on a limb and hoping for the best... but Kalika, Britt, Stephanie and the whole team went above and beyond to help us feel comfortable and then when the wedding day came, we were like guests on an HGTV special on dream weddings. If you want to let go and let the pros do it all for you, choose RAWM. If you want to have full control over every detail, choose RAWM! They let you determine how much you want to be involved with! If you have any questions, doubts, or nightmares... call them! They will not disappoint. This company makes us want to get married every year forever, not a single ounce of stress went into the wedding and while most people need a honeymoon afterwards to decompress, our wedding was our honeymoon! Plus, our guests were so wowed that they all said they didn’t want to attend another wedding after ours because it simply could not be beat!

Katelynn Sent on 07/13/2018Originally I wanted to elope, but my husband talked me into sharing the day with our families. I stumbled upon the RAWM website somehow and instantly knew it was for us. Cue the next morning when I woke up to news, however, a week later, I got a call from Britt, the owner of RAWM. She assured me that even though the area was on fire and yes, she lost her home, none of the venues were damaged and weddings were taking place so our February wedding would be just fine. After a quick trip to the area with my mom, we settled on a vineyard setting.
I can make choices very quickly, however have a hard time letting other be in control, but Kalika made the process was very smooth and seamless and understood my vision perfectly. We met a month before the wedding when my husband to be and I went out to the area for a tasting and to let him see the venue. We went over all the details - this is not required in this process, but it was fun to do and we loved our pre-wedding weekend getaway. In February, you never know what kind of weather you will get, but it was a stunning 72 day, perfect for our group of 18 people. The flowers were so lovely!! I loved how they trailed down our table - it was a dream! Our cakes was to die for - it has fig jam inside and we loved it (especially eating it for breakfast the next day). Hair and makeup were good too, I did feel a little rushed though so wish we had a bit longer to do that.
While we received hundreds of stunning photos - Stephanie rocks, I would recommend doing the deluxe photograph package. I wish we had a second photographer to take photos of our family and friends that were there with us. We have very friendly pictures of the group.
We need up staying in the private residence of the Winery and Kalika made sure to decorate our room with rose peddles and flowers. It was amazing waking up the first morning with my husband with views of vineyards and flowers everywhere! We plan on spending many anniversaries here! -

Michele Sent on 04/05/2018The team at Run Away With Me did a spectacular job planning our small wedding at a beautiful winery in the Healdsburg area. We worked with Britt, the owner of the business, when negotiating our contract and then worked with Kalika for the actual planning of the event. Both were extremely professional and responsive. RAWM offered us what we were looking for - a planning team that would take our overall concept for our wedding (after we chose one of their "styles" of decor, and advised on general color scheme and the type of flowers we wanted) and provide an all-in-one solution for our event, start to finish. While some couples may be interested in having a larger role in the actual planning process, for us, we loved being able to come up with the overall idea and feel we wanted and having Kalika's team take it from there. They were very professional, and are really knowledgeable about the wedding industry and especially weddings of the size and type we were planning. They also have a lot of knowledge about the venues they work with often, and having them know people at the venue was extremely helpful. We were really impressed with the catering and food, the music, the flowers - but especially with the hair/makeup artist, Jessica, and the photographer, Stephanie. They work regularly with RAWM on weddings and the fact that the team knew each other really well made things work so smoothly. My styling was exactly what I'd hoped for and Jessica was a pleasure to work with; and Stephanie's photos came out really beautifully. She and Kalika drove us all around the area to take whatever photos we wanted, and were really flexible when we made suggestions of the types of pictures we wanted. RAWM's pricing was very reasonable and better than a lot of the other options we looked into, especially because they did not try to persuade us to add in components to the event that we did not need. Overall, we would highly recommend RAWM for wedding planning in this area. -
Kelli Sent on 03/28/2018I can't say enough about RAWM. We had a truly amazing team that made our wedding day the best it could have been. We decided to elope and thought Sonoma would be the perfect location. Finding RAWM was a godsend, as we were planning the wedding from Florida and didn't want to worry about finding vendors and planning every detail. Everything was planned in just a few weeks, and all we had to do was show up!
Kalika, the lead coordinator, made sure everything ran smooth the day of the wedding (in addition to suggesting places to stay and eat in the area). My hair and makeup turned out amazing and the flowers were so beautiful I was sad that I couldn't save them forever. The wedding was held at a vineyard and the fall colors were amazing. The officiate performed the ceremony in the middle of the vines and it was exactly what we envisioned. After the ceremony, we took pictures around the property. The photographer was awesome and got some really great pictures (I still am having a hard time narrowing down my favorites!). We ended the day with the most delicious red velvet wedding cake and a bottle of Rose from the vineyard.
We had the perfect day and it would not have been possible without the great team of people at RAWM! -

RunAwayWithMe is truly the epitome of a perfect wedding team. Their care, love, attention to detail - they pour their hearts and souls into every wedding that they do. I am so honored that they were the team that handled my wedding. Our day was truly perfect, and that is all due to Britt, Kalika, Stephanie and their team of excellence. I can not recommend their services enough!!! -

Dana Sent on 04/30/2018I do not have enough words in my vocabulary to describe the amazing experience we had with Run Away With Me. From the very first phone call, the process was simple and streamlined - Britt (owner) and Kalika (head planner and our point person) are warm, kind, knowledgeable and exactly the team you want handling all the details you don't want to deal with during the precious months you're engaged. We had about 32 ppl up in Healdsburg and we could not have imagined the amazing wedding they created for us.
We even had a hiccup with the venue and had to change the location of the wedding less than 2 months out, invitations had already gone out and we were receiving RSVPs. As you can imagine, this was a bit of a shock to us and could have been incredibly strenuous. However, RAWM went above and beyond to make sure the new venue was perfect and we were happy. We ended up at Chateau St. Jean and the whole day/wedding was just exquisite. And the food and wine!! To die for!
These days the wedding thing can get really out of hand, I can not recommend enough to let go of control and let them handle the details. We ended up spending our 10 month engagement just enjoying each other and our time instead of researching vendors, fighting over specifics/budgets and worrying about every little insignificant detail that can be consuming for weddings. It really is like they say, you just show up and it's all set and beautiful. There isn't a question they can't answer for you and they even answer questions you didn't know you were supposed to have! Top to bottom, they did an amazing job making sure we really just enjoyed the wedding and our time there with each other and our guests.
I can not recommend letting go, trimming your guest list and just letting RAWM create the wedding of your dreams. -

My husband and I knew that when we chose to have a very intimate wedding that it would change a lot of things, but with Run Away With Me we still had the absolute best experience and were able to have the wedding of our dreams. We worked with Sarah on the day of our wedding and didn't have to worry about a single thing. The entire process was a dream and we're so happy that we're able to look back on our wedding and not have any stress of planning associated with it. Thank you to RAWM for the most magical day - we'll always remember it. -

RAWM was amazing to work with! I literally showed up to my wedding and had no doubt that everything was going to be as discussed and it was PERFECT! They were exactly what I was looking for when i was looking for an all inclusive planner. They made big decisions feel very easy. Brianne, Sarah and the entire team were amazing to work with. The day of I had no stress and they ushered us and my guests everywhere we needed to be etc. Would 100% recommend them to anyone, especially if a bride doesn't want to deal directly w/ vendors etc. They were great! -

Nothing short of Amazing
Kalika and her team at RAWM were nothing short of amazing. Our Russian River wedding this past October was everything we could hope for, beautiful weather in a beautiful venue with all our friends and family. We were a little worried living in Las Vegas and having everything planned over the phone and through email, but those worries were quickly washed away. The team made sure every detail was handled from flowers to the officiant; the amazing food and great wait staff; to the reception and dj. Each area was created to make for seamless transitions. Finally the photographer was amazing and it only took a few weeks to get all of our amazing photos back in a format that was super easy to post on all social media playforms for us to share. The entire thing was as hassle free as you could hope from day one when we walked through a barren field in February until the big day.
My wife and I can’t thank them all enough. -

We had an amazing time working with the RAWM team for our intimate Napa ceremony this October! They were always so helpful, working with us to ensure every element was perfect for our wedding day. All of the vendors they selected for our wedding day were amazing, and the day of coordinators we had (Makenna and Kalika) were fantastic! The whole team went above and beyond to make our wedding perfect.
