A True Powerhouse Who Made Our Dream Day Effortless
Hiring Taylor was the single best decision we made for our wedding. She is a true powerhouse—and also one of the most thoughtful, grounding, and supportive people you could hope to have by your side during such a meaningful moment.
Our wedding was fully outdoors at the Los Altos History Museum, and the week of the wedding brought a very real rain forecast. Taylor went above and beyond, creating five separate backup plans and walking us through each one with compassion, clarity, and decisive guidance. She helped us feel prepared, confident, and completely supported—never overwhelmed.
Taylor deeply understood our vision and values and ensured every detail reflected who we are. Multiple guests described our wedding as feeling like “a big hug” and an intimate dinner party, despite having close to 100 guests—exactly what we hoped for.
The day itself was seamless. We were early for every scheduled moment, which made the entire experience feel calm and joyful rather than rushed or stressful. Taylor truly made the day feel effortless for us.
We couldn’t have executed this wedding without her, and we genuinely hope to stay connected with Taylor beyond the wedding. She made it perfect—and it was truly the best day of our lives.-

hire taylor!!! you wont regret it!
We cannot recommend Taylor highly enough! From our very first meeting through the end of our wedding night, she was absolutely incredible.
Taylor knows all the best vendors and is extremely well connected in the Bay Area wedding world. From the get go Taylor impressed us - we had a lot of specific requests for our wedding venue and Taylor found us one beyond our wildest dreams!
What we appreciated most was her intuition and ability to prioritize - Taylor knew exactly when to ask for our input and when to simply handle things herself. This meant we had a completely stress-free week leading up to the wedding and were able to actually relax and enjoy our celebration. On our wedding day, there was even a large demonstration near our venue, and Taylor handled it so seamlessly that we didn’t feel any stress or impact from it whatsoever. We can only imagine it was a nightmare behind the scenes, but she made sure we never had to worry about it for even a moment.
Taylor’s professionalism, attention to detail, and genuine care made all the difference. Every thing was perfectly executed, from the big moments to the small touches (like packing up the perfect amount of leftover food for us at the end of the night!). If you want a wedding planner who will take care of you every step of the way and ensure everything goes flawlessly - even when unexpected challenges arise - Taylor is the one. We’re so grateful we had her by our side! -

fantastic bay area planner
We had a ton of fun working with Taylor. Everybody told us that wedding planning would be stressful—but we actually loved it, and I think the reason was Taylor was supportive the entire way. We didn’t really have a vision going in to the planning stages, so Taylor provided us with the names of some vendors to check out. As we started to hone in on what we were looking for, Taylor was totally on board and helped us fill in the details. She held us to schedule and kept us organized. In a no stress and no judgement way, Taylor helped us solve a problem when we forgot to bring some of the cocktail ingredients to our wedding.
Taylor is like the manager you wish you worked for—empathetic, supportive, experienced, great at communication, and totally looking out for your best interests. We’ll recommend her to all of our friends getting married and we hope to see her at their weddings! -

Sonoma Wedding September 2025
Do not hesitate, hiring Taylor was the best wedding decision we made as a working couple! She pulled off our dream wedding in 6 months of planning with ease. She kept us on track with all our procrastinating, guided us through our decision fatigue, and connected us with the most incredible vendors. She took on the challenge of designing and planning an Iranian wedding ceremony, for the first time, with excitement. She was always available to us, unbelievably well organized, calm, professional, and has an amazing eye for design. It was evident every step of the way that she loves what she does and knows exactly what she's doing. The wedding weekend felt stress free knowing she was taking care of all the details!-

Incredible Wedding, Incredible Planner
Taylor did an incredible job making our wedding a beautiful and memorable event. She guided us through the decision making, helping us focus on our budget goals while also fulfilling our vision.
We started planning with her in July of 2024 and married in July of 2025. Each month we met virtually and discussed the comprehensive planning spreadsheet she built for us. Her extensive contact network made choosing vendors simple, and we were extremely pleased with the final team. For many of the vendors she scheduled and attended meetups with us. During these meetups Taylor asked key questions and followup with us for our thoughts. She made sure both the vendors and us as a couple were on schedule!
We collaborated on a day-of plan that was shared with our vendors. Her provided wedding planning tools made details like seating and ceremony layout easy to organize. By the day of the wedding we felt extremely confident and able to focus on each other as husbands to be.
Taylor was behind the scenes making everything perfect on wedding day. She knew all the vendors on a first name basis, and ensured everyone was setup and working together. She had us in mind from the beginning of the day, making sure we had everything we needed. After the wedding Taylor collected gifts and cards left for us, carefully making sure mementos kept safe.
Everything was so perfect, we really couldn’t have asked it go any better. Taylor was key to that experience, and we couldn’t recommend her more.-

The best decision we made for our wedding.
Working with Taylor Rae Weddings was the best decision we made for our wedding. From the very beginning, Taylor was an incredible listener who truly understood our vision. She is calm, highly responsive, and impeccably organized — always bringing thoughtful solutions and ideas we wouldn’t have considered on our own. Our venue ended up being a dream come true that perfectly fit our vibe, thanks to her guidance.
Taylor’s vendor recommendations were outstanding across the board — from cake and catering to entertainment, photography, and videography. Everything was seamless, beautifully coordinated, and of the highest quality. Because of her careful planning, we felt completely supported and confident throughout the process. On the wedding day itself, we were able to be fully present and enjoy every moment — if any issues came up, we never knew about them.
The result? A celebration beyond what we imagined. Our guests continue to tell us it was the best wedding they’ve ever attended, and even our young nephew proclaimed it was “the best day of his life.” We couldn’t agree more.
Taylor made our wedding not only unforgettable but also stress-free and filled with joy. We are forever grateful and would wholeheartedly recommend her to any couple looking for a planner who brings heart, creativity, and flawless execution💕-

The Best Decision We Made – Taylor Rae Weddings is Simply Incredible!
I truly cannot thank Taylor enough for making our wedding day so special, breathtaking, and flawlessly seamless. From start to finish, she handled every detail with such care, professionalism, and expertise that we were able to simply enjoy the moment, knowing everything was in the best hands.
To be completely honest, I was extremely skeptical about hiring a wedding planner. I had heard countless horror stories and had even experienced one myself with our first planner, who unfortunately was more focused on telling us what we wanted to hear rather than actually delivering. Letting that planner go was one of the best decisions we made—because it led us to Taylor. My wife and I interviewed several planners after that experience, but none truly stood out. That all changed the moment we spoke to Taylor. She was direct, honest, and didn’t sugarcoat anything—exactly what we needed. We hired her immediately, and from that point on, she proved time and time again that she was the perfect choice.
From day one, Taylor took her job incredibly seriously. She got to know us, understood our style, and respected our budget without compromising on quality. She created a detailed timeline—and she stuck to it with military precision. She sourced all of our vendors, did all the legwork, and only presented us with options that truly fit our style, personalities, and budget. Even when I gave her a hard time, she remained patient and professional, always ensuring we stayed on track.
Beyond her impeccable planning and organization skills, Taylor became our rock. Wedding planning can be stressful, and she was there every step of the way, not just as a planner but as a calming presence—our unofficial therapist at times! She ensured all vendors worked around our hectic schedules and seamlessly handled any hiccups that came up.
Taylor’s attention to detail is unmatched. She genuinely cares about her clients and goes above and beyond to make sure everything is perfect. There were times when we met with vendors, and afterward, Taylor would tell us, "I don’t think they’re the right fit for you." She was always right. She instinctively knew what we would choose but still gave us multiple options, guiding us while respecting our choices.
When our wedding day arrived, Taylor had everything locked down, running the event in perfectly timed increments. There were a few small hiccups (because, let’s be real, no wedding is completely without them), but Taylor handled them so smoothly that we never even noticed. She absorbed any stress before it could reach us, ensuring we could be fully present and enjoy our day.
Perhaps the most telling thing? My family, who have never believed in wedding planners and have always been against hiring one, had nothing but amazing things to say about Taylor. They saw firsthand how she was everywhere at once, making sure everything ran perfectly. That alone speaks volumes.
Taylor, from the bottom of our hearts, thank you. Thank you for making one of the most important days of our lives absolutely seamless. Thank you for introducing us to incredible vendors, handling every challenge with grace, and working so well with both of us to bring our dream wedding to life.
To anyone reading this—if you’re getting married and want a stress-free, beautifully executed wedding within your budget, do not waste time interviewing anyone else. Hiring Taylor Rae Weddings will be the best decision you make. She is worth every penny and then some because she truly knows what she’s doing and tells it like it is. She doesn’t sugarcoat, she delivers. Trust her, let her work her magic, and you will have the wedding of your dreams.
10/10, best decision ever. -

The absolute best wedding planner there is! No question.
Taylor was our wedding planner (and so much more) for our wedding this past May, and we couldn't recommend her enough. We had initially sought to only have a month of coordinator, but after speaking with Taylor during our initial consultation, we quickly learned how in over our heads we were. But thankfully Taylor was an absolute all-star, from not only designing the wedding venue to be absolutely breathtaking, but also orchestrating our wedding to be exactly what we had envisioned. She continuously went above a beyond for us to make sure the day was perfect.
On the day of the wedding, despite waking up to pouring rain, we were completely at ease because we knew Taylor would have a back up plan and a back up plan to that plan. She ensured that every moment flowed seamlessly, allowing us to relax and enjoy every moment. Our guests were in awe of the incredible attention to detail and the warm, inviting atmosphere Taylor created.
Thanks to Taylor, she truly went above and beyond to make our day was everything we had hoped for and more, including making sure she grabbed us each a slice of our wedding cake and placed it on the shuttle for us (spoon included!) since she noticed we didn't get a chance to eat it during the reception. That's just one of many examples of Taylor's dedication and thoughtfulness throughout the entire planning journey. So all that said, if you're searching for a wedding planner who you can place your complete faith and trust in to plan your wedding, and who will also go the extra mile to make sure your wedding day goes off flawlessly, then seriously look no further. She is simply the best there is. -

No Words Could Ever Express How Thankful I Am for Taylor
It was one month before my May 2024 wedding and I cried for the first time in the eight months I had spent planning my wedding. I desperately reached out to wedding planners with high ratings in my area to see if any of them had availability for month before and day of planning/coordination. Taylor was the first to respond and she told me upfront that she was booked for my wedding date but that she would ask around her contacts to give me referrals. She asked questions about my wedding vision and hopes to make sure she found me a good match. Her calm, empathetic responses immediately stopped my tears. One of my text messages during that first conversation: "Thank you so much. This conversation has given me so much hope and helped me stop crying. Even if it doesn't work out, I am truly so thankful for you."
How lucky was I that Taylor then extended the offer to help with my wedding for the next month and hire a trusted day-of coordinator to be there the day of my wedding - the amazing Katelyn?? The very next week I met with Taylor and Katelyn at Limantour Beach in Point Reyes to discuss the logistics.
There are no words I can use to express just how amazing Taylor is. She anticipated all my concerns and logistical questions before I could even have the time to express them. And even better, she anticipated all the concerns that I wouldn't have ever come up on my own and presented practical solutions that worked with my vision and budget!
But Taylor's most amazing skill was her ability to calmly and easily set aside any fears and insecurities I had about whether my requests and thoughts were unreasonable or that I was too demanding. No questions asked, she advocated for me when I was too scared to advocate for myself.
My wedding was everything I dreamed of and hoped for and more because of Taylor. Hire Taylor - you will not regret it. She is worth every penny! -

Book her if you can!
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!

Seriously, 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.

Hire Taylor for your wedding date before someone else does.
I cannot recommend Taylor highly enough. Hire her for your date before someone else does. Beyond the pure planning element of my wedding late last fall, Taylor did something as important: she helped me feel more calm at a time when I felt like I was teetering on the edge of sanity. I started a new job six months before my wedding (pro tip, this is insane and planning a wedding in and of itself is at the very least a very intense part-time job). I initially hired Taylor for partial planning services that would have started six weeks out from our wedding date in November, but I was so overwhelmed with things like rentals (I had no idea what I was doing) by late August I asked her in a moment of desperation if she would be willing to come on earlier for an additional fee. Praise be, she said yes and immediately took some of my most stressful wedding workload off my plate. She was a godsend. She helped get my rental costs down significantly, helped identify areas where we could safely cut costs so we could beef up in others, and communicated with all of our vendors at a time when I was just trying to do things like my seating chart and last-minute dress alterations. She also skillfully managed some potentially trying family and guest situations day of without a second thought. Taylor is highly competent, exceptionally reliable, truly empathetic, and *prepared* with experience and planning tools that helped make the process so much easier. She was the reason our wedding day went the way that it did - people still tell us how magical and seamless it was. Ten stars. -

Taylor is amazing.
I cannot recommend Taylor enough. She is simply amazing.
When we first set out to plan our wedding, we initially hired someone else. That planner ended up being a nightmare - unresponsive, unknowledgeable and untrustworthy.
Thankfully we found Taylor, who is the opposite of all those things!
- She is incredibly responsive, and takes the time and effort to make sure she understands your wants and needs.
- She is very knowledgeable about everything that comes with planning a wedding. And if by off chance she doesn't know something off the top of her head, you can trust she will find the answer for you.
- And speaking of trust, I would trust no one more than Taylor in regards to wedding planning. There were many twists, turns, curveballs and emergencies throughout our planning stages as well as wedding day, and Taylor handled all of them with grace and professionalism.
Taylor has become a dear friend of ours after this amazing experience, and we will always recommend her if you are looking for the best of the best!

Highly 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. -

Best 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 -

Taylor Rae shows extraordinary skill and care
I strongly recommend Taylor Rae as a wedding planner. She did a phenomenal job picking up our half-organized, self-planned wedding and carrying it through to a perfect end, with immensely helpful suggestions and coaching every step of the way. We couldn't have been happier with the end result.
We began our search for a wedding planner in a panic. We were only three months out from our date, and we had our venue for the ceremony booked, but we were struggling to secure a reception venue and caterer.
Taylor was among several wedding planners we found that were recommended as LGBT-friendly. We’re very lucky she responded to our request for an interview before anyone else.
In an efficient, reassuring half-hour consultation zoom call, she listened to our concept and our anxieties, immediately drilled down to problem points that would make what we envisioned difficult to execute the way we had originally seen it, and then drew out the underlying emotional goal we were trying to achieve and suggested a better way of creating that experience for ourselves and our guests.
We were floored, and enamored.
That might sound like it would be a negative experience, to have our idea deconstructed, but actually we were desperate for some sort of guidance, and we immediately saw how and why her suggestion was a better idea. She is a consummate professional and knows the mechanics and logistics of event planning backwards and forwards, but she also has a sharp eye for the meanings and motivations behind these personal events. We were very grateful to her for that consultation and decided right there to ask her to be our planner.
Taylor helped us secure a beautiful venue we hadn’t even known existed, only a block from where we lived in SOMA, San Francisco, and with exactly the weird details we had been hoping for but didn’t think could actually happen. I had wanted for there somehow to be a dance floor and a library space where people could stand and chat and look at books and then go out to the floor when they heard a song they liked—obviously a bonkers request, and I knew it. She actually found the place that had both, and did all the work with the venue operators to make sure it was set up the best way possible. The impossible vision I had of my friends moving back and forth between books and dancing is what actually happened!
Taylor also got us in contact with several caterers, making sure we had choices, but gently suggested one that she thought would probably be our top pick. She was right, and guests at our wedding are still raving to us about the food we had at our reception many months later (literally—friends will say to us out of nowhere, “My god, do you remember that shrimp at your wedding? I’ve been dreaming about it.”). Once again, this is a caterer we had no idea even existed when we were trying to plan the event ourselves. Taylor Rae connected us.
Besides her obvious skill at making sure everything ran smoothly and according to plan, Taylor also was good about keeping us organized and on-task for our parts of the wedding process. Neither of us are unorganized people, but we’re not party planners, and we were both drowning in work at the same time we were getting ready for this event. Taylor nonetheless had a running track of everything that needed to be done, even parts of the wedding that weren’t her responsibility, and knew when to nudge us. We were very grateful for that added attention, and we really appreciated it.
I cannot possibly recommend Taylor Rae’s planning services strongly enough. Nothing went wrong with our wedding day, and it was miraculous and gave us better memories than we could have ever imagined. Our guests had an amazing evening and are still talking to us about how much they enjoyed themselves after so much time. We began the process thinking that we would be able to get the whole event done with our own resources, and ended the process so grateful that we had realized our limitations and invested in a professional. Taylor Rae made the wedding magical for us.

Highly Recommend Taylor for Wedding Planning
We hired Taylor as a partial/month of coordinator for our wedding in September. Taylor was great to work with - she is organized, knowledgeable, and helped tackle the difficult things on the to do list. She ensured that our vision came to life and that we (and our family) were able to relax and enjoy the day. We would highly recommend Taylor for wedding & event planning services! Taylor, thank you for everything 🤍 -

If you're reading this, hire her.
Taylor is quite good at what she does. She will plan for things you never even considered and make your day as carefree as imaginable. Taylor is thoughtful and professional, prompt, considerate, and a pleasure to work with. I could not think of anything she couldn't do, or wouldn't do, to make your day incredible.
Hire her and she will execute your vision, and you'll have an amazing wedding. She's just the best. -

Over 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! -

Taylor is the best of the best!
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! -

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 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!-

Mother of the Bride
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-

We could not have pulled off this wedding without Taylor!!
My cousin would not have had the wedding of her dreams without Taylor. My family hired Taylor a little less than two months before the wedding. We were a mess. Taylor graciously jumped to the plate and attended a venue walk through with us within hours of our interview with her! She remained organized throughout the last minute planning process and was attentive to both the bride and the groom’s wedding goals. Taylor is an advocate for her couples. When family members let the stress of planning get in the way of the bigger picture, Taylor was always there to make sure the bride and groom not only got what they wanted, but that they remained as stress-free as possible. I am amazed by how Taylor turned the wedding around in just a few weeks. I only wish we hired her immediately after my cousin got engaged instead of two months before the wedding. If you’re reading this, hire Taylor now, you won’t regret it and will be less stressed because of it! Thank you so much Taylor for your kindness, attentiveness, organization, and expertise! -

Taylor 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! -

Dedicated and Detail Oriented Coordinator
I worked with Taylor for several years at Domenico Winery where she oversaw hundreds of events per year, handling client communications, creating floor plans, ordering rentals, and coordinating communication between staff, outside vendors, and guests during events. Her years of event industry experience have honed her attention to detail, which - coupled with her personality - makes her an amazing choice for a wedding coordinator. -

Taylor made our special day wonderful and worry free!
Taylor was our wedding coordinator for our SF wedding at the City Club of San Francisco, and I am so grateful to her for all she did to make our big day run so smoothly! She was with us every step of the way, quickly answering any questions that came up, incorporating our last minute needs and requests, and staying so on top of things that this high strung bride had no choice but to sit back and enjoy it all! She is incredibly professional and experienced with coordinating events and seamlessly managed all the moving pieces with expertise and confidence. I cannot recommend her enough for weddings - do yourself a favor, and let Taylor run the show! -

A MOH dream
As a MOH, Taylor was so nice to work with. From her professionalism to her friendliness she was always prepared. She made sure everything ran smoothly and efficiently which allowed all of the bridesmaid’s focus to be on the Bride and Groom at all times. -

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! -

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! -

Overall 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.
