Planning a wedding is hard! Especially when you are using a blank slate venue, the sheer amount of decisions and vendors you have to interact with is mind boggling. That's where Taylor comes in and shines! She was able to help us, from the very beginning on selecting a venue to all the decisions which were to come. When we were stuck or fatigued from decisions, we knew we could lean on Taylor to point us in the right direction or give us some suggested vendors.
During the day of the wedding, everything went super smooth and was beautiful. It actually felt strange how much time we had during the day, and felt like we should be doing something, but atlas Taylor was working hard (and often literally running) in the background conquering all the small details. We didn’t know until after the wedding day that we had an issue with one of our printers not sending our menus and placards to us in time, and she was at Fedex the morning of the wedding reprinting these items - fire, solved. We couldn’t even tell! Thank you so much Taylor, there's no way we could have done it without you!

Amanda F. Sent on 06/30/2023Seriously, hire Taylor!
Taylor is an incredible wedding planner that you should absolutely hire for your wedding in any capacity. We connected with Taylor shortly after a setback in our venue search and she helped us quickly bounce back and rebuild momentum. She listened closely to what we wanted in our venue and sent us options to approve, from which she scheduled a day of tours in the Sonoma area that she accompanied us on. She later also accompanied us on follow-up tours after the venue was locked in, as well as the reception tasting - ensuring she was always there to support us on questions and readily available for discussion and feedback.
Taylor has an extremely warm and friendly personality, which combined with her professionalism and organization, made the planning process much less stressful and more enjoyable than it would’ve otherwise been. She was flexible and consistent in scheduling regular calls throughout the process to keep progress moving forward.
The weekend of the wedding was when Taylor shined the most. She was fantastic at anticipating our needs, attending to every detail, and generally orchestrating the whole weekend and allowing us both to stay relaxed and in the moment. Thanks to Taylor, the entire weekend was seamless without a hitch, which feels rare. Taylor is an awesome person that we are so happy to have worked with to plan our wedding and we can’t recommend her highly enough.

Amanda D. Sent on 06/05/2023Highly recommend Taylor Rae for your wedding needs.
Taylor goes above and beyond. I could tell that she throughly enjoys her job, which makes all the difference. On the day of my wedding, Taylor anticipated needs I had not thought of; (1) my polaroid camera ran out batteries, and Taylor had some with her (2) My dress got small specks of blood on it, and Taylor had a whitening pen and got the blood out, (3) When I was taking pictures Taylor was there to hold my bouquet, makeup back, shoes, ect. (4) I was so busy on the day of I forgot to stop have desert, Taylor packaged up deserts for my husband and I and placed them in our hotel fridge. (5) She offered to help me get out of my dress at the end of the night at 12 am when everyone else had gone to bed.
She did all this in addition to what is listed in the contract, i.e., setting up, breaking down banquet room, and everything else in between.
She has excellent communication skills, she's friendly, and approachable.
I highly recommend her. -

Caitlin A. Sent on 05/20/2022Over the top service from a planner who really cares
Taylor is incredible. We had the honor of working a wedding with her (we were the videographers) and have rarely experienced the level of care, service, attention to detail, KINDNESS & adaptability as we did with her. She brought a presence of calm & warmth to every interaction she was a part of (whether with the couple, guests or vendors) and even went the extra mile to officiate the wedding when the hired officiant couldn't make it last minute. Taylor is a rare gem, cares so much for her clients & team and truly made the wedding day as beautiful, smooth & stress-free as it was. We can't wait to work with her again! -

The best of the best!
Taylor is seriously a superhero. I could not recommend her more!
Early on in the planning process, I was adamant that I could do everything on my own without hiring our own planner. As we got closer to the date, I realized I needed help. We found Taylor as a month of coordinator and could not be more grateful for her. She is very proactive, knowledgeable, level-headed and truly felt like talking to a friend. If she said she was going to do something, I could trust that it would get done.
A month before our wedding, the in-house coordinator at our venue went MIA and Taylor was an absolute rockstar making sure everything was in line. She seriously did their jobs for them, and I don’t even want to think about what would have happened if we didn’t have her. The wedding day went perfectly and so many guests commented on how well-executed everything was and how well the day flowed. All because of Taylor! I am sad that the wedding is over because I don’t get to talk with Taylor on a daily basis anymore. She is the BEST and we couldn't recommend her more! -

Taylor is everything you want in a wedding planner, and more! She is organized, communicative, calm, patient, and no matter the situation, has a smile on her face. She helped alleviate stress leading up to the wedding by keeping track of outstanding items and making sure all the little moving pieces were taken care of. Wedding planning is stressful but Taylor made it feel seamless! When it came to the actual wedding day, she made sure everyone knew exactly where they need to be and when, while keeping it fun and enjoyable for everyone involved! Every little detail, every step of the way, Taylor is SO on top of it. I highly recommend Taylor - she will be the best decision you make during wedding planning! -

Lisa M. Sent on 02/18/2023Best Decision You'll Make!
Hiring Taylor as our wedding planner & day of coordinator was hands down the best decision we made leading up to our big day! Having spent over a year planning (and postponing) our wedding, I found myself dreading the process - Taylor came in and re-energized me! As someone who had never planned a wedding, I found myself not knowing what questions to ask vendors, what rates were reasonable, or where to even start when it came to things like linens and florals.
As soon as we started working with Taylor she met us in person at our venue - we immediately felt better listening to her ask all sorts of questions about the rules & logistics around hosting a wedding here. So many things we had not thought of!
As an increasingly-more-stressed out bride, Taylor heard each of my requests and seamlessly stepped in to support on each and every one. Florals were something that truly stumped me - not a green thumb myself, I had a general sense of what I wanted but was at a loss for figuring out the who-what-and-how of it. Taylor was able to find an incredible, local florist within budget, and in the end those florals were one of my absolute favorite things about my wedding day.
If you are a bride currently in planning mode, don't underestimate how helpful it is to have someone by your side who knows the ins-and-outs of the industry, sees your vision, and does whatever possible to make sure you have the best day possible. I guarantee you Taylor did even more than I know, because in my eyes my wedding day was perfect and smooth sailing - which can only mean she worked some behind-the-scenes magic.
Thank you so much Taylor for helping Chris & I celebrate our big day! We loved working with you, and genuinely miss our check-ins -

Charlene Sent on 03/27/2022Taylor is a phenomenal day-of wedding coordinator!
My husband and I are so fortunate to have worked with Taylor for our special day! From start to finish, Taylor was extremely communicative, responsive, and anticipated our needs for our wedding reception. We truly appreciate how detail-oriented, attentive, and organized Taylor was throughout the planning process, and Taylor helped us figure things out that we didn't even think about! I'm not sure what we would have done without Taylor by our side for our big day, but thankfully we were able to work with her, and our reception was a hit! Our guests and wedding party had an absolute blast, and Taylor did a phenomenal job in communicating with our vendors and making sure that all of the details were perfect for our reception.
In addition, Taylor was such a calming presence during our wedding, and she was very in tuned with the needs of both myself and my husband. She was even kind enough to make sure we had food to eat and that we were able to try our signature drinks from the wedding! Many times I hear from other brides and grooms that they weren't able to eat the desserts or try the beverages from their weddings, but we're extremely glad that Taylor was attentive and made sure we also had a moment to take some time to ourselves. If you're looking to hire a wedding coordinator who is kind, smart, organized, creative, and detail-oriented, look no further! You will not be disappointed! Thank you, Taylor, for everything!Taylor Rae Weddings's reply:
Charlene & Eric- you are so sweet! I truly love what I do and your wedding was so fun to plan. Thank you so much for taking the time to leave me a review and for the thoughtfulness of your words. It was so fun seeing your day come together, the guests running to the donut station, and the dance party that went down in the evening! Wishing you both a life full of adventures! -

The vendor was very responsive to all of our needs. She coordinated meetings with both families. Her quality of service was excellent. She followed up and send out reminders. Her professionalism was excellent and she knew how to direct us to other resources. She looks out for my interest & negotiated for us well -

Susie Sent on 11/28/2021Taylor is amazing!!
My husband and I were so lucky to have Taylor as our day-of coordinator! She initially met with us a month prior to the wedding to go over the main details of the event. We were impressed by how thorough she was in making sure we had thought of everything we needed for the big day. Not once did we feel rushed or pressured to make decisions on the spot when we didn't know what we wanted. Instead, she patiently helped us think through our options and sent us helpful follow-up emails that outlined action items for myself and my husband.
We got to meet Taylor in person for the first time at our wedding rehearsal and she exuded warmth and professionalism. Thanks to Taylor, our rehearsal was smooth and efficient. She made sure to spend the time to guide us through several practice runs to ensure we felt comfortable for the big day.
The day of the wedding, Taylor was so thoughtful and good to us! She demonstrated the perfect balance of checking in with us to make sure we had everything we needed, while also running around behind the scenes to ensure that things were running smoothly with vendors and the overall timeline. When our polaroid camera for the photo guestbook unfortunately got glitchy, Taylor took it upon herself to try to get the camera working again. During the moments it worked, Taylor went around the venue taking pictures of the guests to make sure that we would still have photos for our photo guestbook. She also made sure to pack us a box of donuts from the donut bar so that we could enjoy desserts at home after the wedding! Gestures such as these are examples of how thoughtful Taylor is and how she will go above and beyond to make sure you are well taken care of from beginning to end. Even our guests noticed how amazing Taylor was at taking care of us, all while maintaining her calm, friendly demeanor!
To summarize, we are so thankful to have had the opportunity to work with Taylor for our wedding! Our only regret is that we only had her for the day-of coordination - if we were to go back, we would definitely have wanted her on board from the start!Taylor Rae Weddings's reply:
Susie! It was such a pleasure working with you and Denny. I also wish we could have worked together longer because it was so fun! Thank you for writing such a thoughtful review and for giving me the opportunity to support you on your big day! -

Peace of mind for our wedding!
One of the most important things for us in planning our wedding was finding a team of vendors to help our vision come to life. Talyor was incredible at leading that team for us! She worked seamlessly with our florist, band, photographers and more to ensure everything went smoothly. It was as if she could anticipate our every need before we even knew we needed it! I was especially thankful for her quick response times and proactive planning style.
The highlight though was her professionalism and kindness on the day of our wedding. Having been in many weddings myself, I've noticed there are typically two types of planners: the kind but meek planner who has trouble organizing large wedding parties and the tough but in charge planner who runs a tight ship.
Taylor was neither. She was a PERFECT balance of flexible but always in control. She has the special talent of being able to command the room and take charge all while being empathetic to our parties needs and concerns.
Overall Taylor ensured our wedding was flawless from start to finish. Her kind and even keeled attitude set the tone for our whole wedding and put us at ease throughout the process. She handled all the details of the wedding design and timeline without losing sight of our main purpose, to celebrate with our friends and family. Our wedding would not have been the same without her!Taylor Rae Weddings's reply:
Amanda! Thank you so much for such a thoughtful review. I absolutely loved working with you and Matt on every detail of your fabulous art deco wedding! -

Delilah J. Sent on 07/27/2023Overall 10/10
Where to start, my husband and I had a lot of anxieties going into the wedding planning process, knowing what to do first was quite literally the most stressful thing to do, we didn't know where to look when it came down to vendors, venues, etc. Hiring Taylor was one of the best decisions that we made. She was a huge help, from beginning to end. She really knew how to implement both of our ideas and thoughts to make our dream wedding come true. We couldn't have asked for better, it was simply perfect. I the bride, am very shy, and a bit of a pushover when it comes down to both of our families, and our families are very opinionated people, I even had trouble with my bridesmaids. She helped me feel so much calmer and listened to all of the problems that we had. She was kind, considerate, and always knew what to say. One big thing that we loved about Taylor that stood out was that she took the initiative to put a stop to certain things especially when it came down to the wedding day, she was quick to resolve any issues that arose and made the day so cohesive that there was barely any issues to begin with. We didn't even know there were any issues at one point because they were resolved so fast. If you are thinking of a wedding planner who is caring, passionate, well-organized, and gets the job done, you definitely should hire Taylor Rae as she is one of the best. She helps with everything, she schedules meeting with photographers, makeup artists, venues, DJs, and officiants. After many of the meetings we had she would have us stay after to hear our thoughts about them which helped us a lot with making decisions.
If you are budging for your wedding, keep in mind weddings are expensive, and getting any sort of planner is rather pricey. However, we believe that hiring a planner is worth it, Taylor has a few packages from what we remember she had around 3- 4, and we requested the full service because we needed help from start to finish. When you hire Taylor you are not only paying for quality service but you are paying for a perfect wedding handled with care. Taylor is amazing at what she does, this is her true calling. We appreciate all that she has done for us.

Amazing, Kind, & Supportive
After planning and canceling a wedding in 2020 my (now) husband and I were very nervous about starting the re-planning process. Taylor was amazing working with us from choosing our date to day of coordination. She was kind and willing to work with our often challenging schedules (i was working nights the month prior to the wedding). She did a great job of letting us choose how involved in decisions we wanted to be. Taylor truly shined on the day of our wedding - both of our parents were SO impressed by her professionalism and ability to manage the evening seamlessly. I would choose her again in a heartbeat! -
