Rachel is a gem. She was flexible and so easy to work with. The support we had from her the day of the wedding was so helpful. We had a very fun light hearted wedding and was hoping she would reflect that energy which she really did with dressing up and cracking jokes to break tension all while being attentive and professional.
The only regret we have is that we wished we went with her full package. -

Incredible Day of Coordinator Experience
We hired Rachel as our Day of Coordinator for our wedding in September 2023 and have nothing but praise to give. Rachel quickly responded to our emails, maintained detailed notes about our plan for the day, and executed on our plan. We also really appreciated how Rachel handled discussions with everyone. Rachel kept an incredibly positive attitude throughout our wedding day and our rehearsal but was also very efficient and direct about what needed to get done so we could all stay on schedule. We wish nothing but the best for Rachel and their team and think anyone would be lucky to get the opportunity to work with San Diego Life Events! -

Paul D. Sent on 04/08/2023A fantastic planner to work with!
Rachel helped me plan a wedding in San Diego while I was living on the East Coast, and helped me through the entire process from start to finish. Her recommendations and insight in venue, catering, and rental selection helped take a gigantic workload down to a managable one. She helped me understand the array of costs listed on the various vender Estimates, and upon my request help me find less expensive alternatives when available, saving us a ton of money. On the day before and the day of, she was invaluable. She helped keep everything running smoothly, allowing me and my spouse to focus on the event and the guests. She was such a great planner to work with. -

So just like many other of you couples we were somewhat clueless on the wedding process and Rachel held our hand along the full process. She was quick to answer any and all questions we had. She was very attentive before and during the wedding as she even brought us food and drinks going above and beyond for her clients. She was great at coordinating all of the venders. Even though there were some unexpected hiccups in our wedding not due to her, she was able to pull everyone together and make sure we had an amazing experience and fun celebration for us and our guests. We definitely recommend her! She is wonderful! -

I will never forget everything my wedding planner rachel did for me. i cant believe what i went thru planning my wedding before i found rachel she saved the day i mean that. i had some other really great vendors but tbh rachel was my favorite. i have already recommend her to friends. obviously i had never got married before but i feel like she went above and beyond for me n my hubby and we were so happy. everything was great. we could trust her to have our back with everything. she is more then just a wedding planner she feels like a sister or a good friend. i didnt think i would need a planner but when things were crazy im happy we came up with the extra $$ to hire her. 1000000%%% worth every single penny i would have paid even more if i could. hire her u will not be disapointed. -

I was so worried to hand all the details over to another coordinator with a difficult venue and a short amount of time to set up. When I met Rachel and her team I knew I didn't have to worry. She was able to keep a large bridal party (16 people) in line and organized the rehearsal nicely. She organized the reception room and cocktail hour exactly how I wanted and I only pointed and provided limited details. Whenever I thought about something during the wedding, Rachel was one step ahead! Do yourself a favor and hire Rachel. She really understands the details and cares. You will not be disappointed! -

Our daughter's wedding really couldn't have been any better - and Rachel was largely responsible for how well-run the entire afternoon was. She was simply wonderful in every way, and we are so grateful that we could rely on her to manage every single detail. She is a gem, and her next clients are very lucky to have her!

My fiancée and I have been working with Rachel for over a year planning for our wedding, but due to COVID, we had to postpone our wedding from October to June 2021. From the first time we spoke to Rachel for our consultation, we knew we were in good hands. Rachel constantly goes above and beyond for her clients - she is very professional and truly cares about the success of your wedding or event. We are so looking forward to our wedding day, because we know Rachel will be on top of everything - what a relief for us! -

Rachel at San Diego Life Events was on point! She kept our large bridal party's attention during the rehearsal and made sure everyone knew what they needed to do. She had a solution to every problem that we encountered on our wedding day and handled things with authority and grace. I'm so glad we chose her to be our day of coordinator! Thank you Rachel! -

Hiring San Diego Life Events made my wedding day unforgettable and as stress free as possible! I was recommended Rachel by a friend who knew I was struggling and overwhelmed by trying to plan everything for my wedding. My husband and I were on a budget and most wedding venues did not take us seriously. Rachel took our budget and created our dream wedding (we chose the all inclusive planning package which relieved a lot of stress from my husband and me). Our payments were easy and affordable for us, and she didn't go over our budget unless we asked for specific add ons (which she was more than happy to provide for us). She was extremely available to us, always getting back to our emails the same day (usually within a couple hours) and helping to keep our nerves at ease during the entire planning process. And she always made sure that we were keeping to our wedding planning time line. The day of our wedding Rachel was on top of everything! Any problem or issue that arose, she quickly solved it without having to worry us. She kept us on time for our wedding schedule without being bossy. And her vendors were professional and took care of us as well (like recreating the exact bouquet and wedding cake design we wanted). She really took care of us and treated us like family, she genuinely wanted our day to be perfect and did everything she could to get us there. Both my husband and I absolutely 100% recommend San Diego Life Events for your wedding! -

Andrea D. Sent on 10/31/2019Rachel is the Best Decision You'll Make Wedding Planning!
Our day of wedding coordinator, Rachel Weinshanker, was hands down the best decision we made when wedding planning. As a project manager and Type A personality, it was very important to me to plan all the details of my special day. I realized the need to have a professional execute the tasks and coordinate all the efforts on our wedding day. From the beginning, Rachel has been thorough in learning all the details of our wedding. She created our master timeline and used her professional experience changing some things around. During our ceremony rehearsal, she was so detailed in how we stood at the altar and recommended things that would look good in our photographs. On our wedding day, she was calm, cheerful and always had a smile on her face. She set up our wedding decor flawlessly and exactly how I envisioned. During the dinner service, we noticed that our catering company was serving the wrong entree and I was very upset. She calmed me down and got to the bottom of what had happened faster than the catering company itself. I will forever be grateful for how she handled that stressful situation and prevented me from going into full melt down mode. Rachel is a true gem and I couldn't have asked for a better person to trust on my wedding day. Thank you Rachel!! -

Rachel made all of our wedding day dreams come true! She put all the details together for us and kept everything organized. She was professional, friendly, and accommodating. She never let me feel stressed or worried about everything and the day went seamlessly. I cannot recommend her service enough. -

Jenny Sent on 12/05/2020Rachel anticipates and looks for issues that can come up!
I wanted something simple, but simple often means lots of behind the scenes... and Rachel made that happen! Not only that, but she and her team saved our day—multiple times! It never rains in San Diego, or so we thought! 24 hours before our wedding we had to hire a vendor to set up a last minute tent so we could still enjoy the day outside. There were issues with communications between that vendor and our venue that could have wrecked the day, but Rachel stepped in (more like ran in!) and made sure it was done right. Not just right, but perfect! This is one of the many saves that I know about, though I’m sure there were many, many more. She’s extremely professional, easy to communicate with, and takes your day very seriously. I’m so glad she was there for us. My only regret- that I didn’t hire her for more help (she did day of coordinating) that weekend. -
