He made my wedding a party all night long just like I wanted. He was great at announcing different events throughout the night and stuck to the playlist we gave him.

He has all of his own equipment from microphones, separate set up for ceremony location, and lights. Cannot recommend enough!

We only gave them a list of 20 or so songs on which to base their playlist, and the other tunes they picked matched so perfectly that we had several guests ask us if we had picked every song! The only mishap was on my part when I didn't have my shoes on in time for the first dance. :) It helped that they were very familiar with our venue, but they are so professional and experienced that I'm sure they would be a great pick for any venue. They weren't cheap, but considering we had zero problems with them and they were so easy to work with, they were worth it.

The month leading up to our wedding was stressful with final details, vendor calls, and organization, but Rachel alleviated so much of that stress!

I cannot recommend her enough to any couple in the PNW! Thank you, Rachel!!

My fiancé and I had a terrible experience with Rachel Ward (Rediger) from Rachel Rose Event…read morePlanning. We hired her for full planning over a year in advance, specifically selecting her top full planning package because we wanted a detailed planning structure and budget management plan. Unfortunately, there were issues from the start, but since this was my first wedding planning experience, I didn't know what to expect. However, as the months went by, it became clear that Rachel was not delivering what we had agreed. Despite paying extra for her most extensive package, we were surprised that we had not received anything personalized from Rachel after five months, with no mention of a checklist or budget plan. We were also concerned that she needed help remembering our budget, even though she had previously assured us that our wedding was feasible within our budget and would provide a detailed plan for achieving it. Interestingly, of all the wedding planners we spoke to, only Rachel assured us that our dream wedding was possible within our budget and guest count. In contrast, the other planners were honest and gave us a more realistic cost estimate. Even though I knew deep down that it wasn't possible, Rachel's claim that she had her wedding at the same venue made me trust her judgment. However, it turned out that Rachel had limited expertise in budget planning, and we'll always wonder why she gave us such false hope. When we expressed our concerns to Rachel the first week of December, she suggested we schedule a call in January, which was disconcerting since I had just informed her that I would have a month and a half of less busy work before I got really busy again. I wanted to take advantage of that time to complete as much work as possible. It would take 15-30 minutes to have a phone call and ease our concerns, but she didn't have time for a month. Despite having ample time to discuss our concerns, Rachel seemed uninterested and unenthusiastic about our wedding plans. After numerous red flags, we decided to part ways with Rachel over nine months before our wedding date, giving her enough time to fill that date with another wedding if she wanted. We even asked her to provide us with an itemized list of what she worked on and her hourly rate, intending to pay her for her time worked. However, it was clear that Rachel had yet to do what we agreed to, and the one thing she did do was initiate a conversation with the catering company via email, and I took it from there. We were left feeling scammed when Rachel refused to provide an itemized list of what she had worked on and told us that we had signed a non-refundable agreement, regardless of whether she had done the work. Hiring a new planner only confirmed that we had made the right decision to part ways with Rachel. Our new planner sent us a personalized mood board and budget within a week, which Rachel should have done, given that we paid her $5k for her services. We caution anyone considering Rachel and RR Events as their wedding planner. We were left feeling scammed, frustrated, and disappointed that we had paid so much for a service that was not delivered as promised. While we understand that everyone is different, Rachel's job is to provide personable service and uphold her end of the contract. We hope that our experience serves as a warning to others to beware of Rachel Ward & Rachel Rose Event Planning and that they find fantastic, knowledgeable planners who deliver what they promise.

Not only was she on time but we were able to bust out our group photos before the ceremony allowing us time to even catch a breather in-between events. During the group photos she was amazing at getting everyone to smile and understood that during this warm summer day most of us didn't want to stand in the sun too long. During the ceremony and reception, she was very professional and friendly with all guest, but the most amazing part of all was the quick turnover from the time we had our big day to the sneak peek into our wedding photos. We absolutely adore every single photo she has shown us thus far, perfectly capturing every important moment of our big day in which we know we will cherish for a lifetime. Elizabeth is affordable, smart, friendly and extremely passionate about making you feel beautiful and amazing. You will not regret picking her. p.s. She even helped me make a schedule for the big day just to make your life that much easier. http://www.westernrosestudios.com/blog/alex-and-matt-truelyakegel?fbclid=IwAR2ygZwokBMcDJsUNWekrmnVpmg1d9EtCmNNfuUt2ieOoITAsRn1ysk9_80
