Choosing Rachelle from Radiant Love Events as our wedding planner was absolutely the best decision we made during our wedding planning process. When my husband and I got engaged, I was overwhelmed and unsure of where to begin with wedding planning. We discovered Rachelle on Instagram and were immediately drawn to her beautiful designs and aesthetic. From our very first Zoom call, she put us at ease, and her warmth, patience, and genuine kindness made it clear she was the perfect fit for us. Even before we officially booked with Rachelle, she went above and beyond by sharing a curated list of venue recommendations. Throughout the planning process, she consistently provided us with thoughtful guidance and vendor suggestions. Every single vendor she recommended was amazing and easy to work with. As someone who can be extremely indecisive, she helped make all of our decisions much easier. Rachelle was also very conscientious about helping us stay within our budget. She never made us feel pressured to spend more than we were comfortable. One of the most helpful things was her inventory of complimentary wedding items--things like table number signs, a card box, and other beautiful decor pieces we were able to borrow, which not only helped us save money but tied everything together perfectly. On the wedding day, Rachelle was a calming and grounding presence. She ensured everything ran seamlessly and that we were completely free to enjoy the moment. One of the things we appreciated most was how intentional she was about creating space for us as a couple - right after the ceremony, she carved out a quiet moment for us to enjoy some food and just soak it all in together, away from the crowd. It was such a special pause in an otherwise fast-moving day. We received countless compliments not just on how beautiful the wedding was, but on how smoothly and professionally everything was run. Because of Rachelle, my husband and I were able to be fully present, knowing that every detail was in trusted hands. We are so grateful to Rachelle for bringing our vision to life. She's more than just a wedding planner - she's a true professional, a calming presence, and someone who genuinely cares about her couples and their people. There truly aren't enough words to capture how amazing she is. Thanks to Rachelle, we had the BEST. DAY. EVER! read more

We would like to express our heartfelt gratitude to Rachelle for the tremendous effort she put into making our special day absolutely unforgettable. From the moment she responded to our initial "inquiry of services" email to the picture we took together at the end of our wedding, she consistently gave 1000%. Just like many of you who are seeking a wedding planner, we were probably just as clueless. Which colors should we choose? Where can we find a reliable florist? What questions do we need to ask when visiting potential venues? And how on earth do we obtain a wedding license? Rachelle swiftly alleviated the anxiety caused by the uncertainty and confusion. Her unwavering self-assurance and meticulous attention to detail brought a sense of relief from day one. What we came to realize is that, despite all the meticulous planning we undertook before our big day, things still went wrong. With the temperature soaring to 95 degrees, falling behind schedule, and our feet aching, Rachelle and her team came to our rescue. They consistently offered us water bottles and napkins to combat the sweat and heat, proposed schedule adjustments that seamlessly integrated into the day, and even came to the rescue by suggesting we take a moment to relax together, handing us our signature cocktails and serving our hors d'oeuvres. The potential mini panic attack that could have happened was averted due to Rachelle and her team's presence. As valuable as the spreadsheets, recommendations, walk-throughs, and monthly meetings were, what resonated most with us was Rachelle's ability to connect with us on a profound and personal level. Throughout the process, it was more than just business; she took the time to understand us as a couple and as individuals, transcending the role of a mere "wedding vendor" and becoming a true friend. If you're in search of an individual who will guide you meticulously through every step of preparing for your big day, someone who has considered every potential hiccup, a person equipped with limitless solutions for any arising issues, and a calming presence during the most stressful moments, your quest for a wedding planner ends here. You've found it. Once again, Rachelle, our heartfelt gratitude to you! You and your Radiant Love Events team were indispensable to our wedding's success and we will be forever grateful! read more

For an anxious couple trying to tackle wedding planning, Rachelle's warmth and genuine care put us at ease. She helped make our vision come to life, from connecting us with affordable, reliable vendors to executing our reception decor with her talented team and impeccable taste. She truly cared about our experience and made sure that our priorities were met. She made sure that we got to eat at our reception, she kept a well-running schedule so that we could enjoy ourselves without worrying about the order of events of the night, she ensured that we stayed hydrated, and more. Rachelle's organization and industry know-how were super important to us, but we also valued immensely how she kept us calm and reassured throughout the planning process. Her ability to offer emotional support on top of the logistical support you'd expect from a coordinator is truly special. We're beyond grateful for Rachelle and the RLE team! read more

As a budget-conscious bride with some professional event management experience, I was hesitant to invest too heavily into wedding planning services. However, I knew I didn't want to be finalizing table arrangements on the big day so my husband and I started researching. A friend recommended Radiant Love Events (RLE) based off their experience, and I'm so glad they did! I knew Rachelle would be a great match for us from the first conversation. As the owner and principal planner of RLE, her dedication to this industry is so apparent in the way she interacts with vendors and clients. Even before we committed to working together, she asked insightful questions and seemed genuinely interested in making sure we would have the ideal wedding experience based on our goals & expectations (NOT what was "expected" or "traditional). RLE's quote was not the cheapest one I found when doing my research, but it was worth the value tenfold. When we met we were still in the process of identifying our vendors , so she provided a range of recommendations based on our wedding theme and budget. Every vendor I contacted had such high praise for Rachelle, and some even went out of their way to work within our budget. What I found the most valuable about hiring RLE is the sense of relief I had after each of our meetings with Rachelle. Her calm demeanor and industry experience always put us at ease, even at those peak "planning panic" moments. We had a logistically complicated wedding (bride & groom getting ready at different hotels, ceremony location 30+ miles away from reception venue), and Rachelle helped us consider every detail to make things run as seamlessly as possible. When my husband and I were unsure, she provided options and space to help us make the best choice. When plans changed, she helped us pivot. She was always willing to provide her recommendations based on her experience, but was never pushy. She graciously took all our last-minute adjustments in stride, and added small but meaningful details to make simple DIY efforts really shine. I wholeheartedly recommend RLE to any bride looking for a trustworthy team that can elevate your wedding to the next level. You won't regret it! read more

Where do we begin with how amazing Rachelle is as a wedding planner and person. I am so glad that our friend and photographer recommended her because we truly could not have done this without her! From the smallest things to the biggest things, everything beautiful in our wedding is absolutely because of Rachelle! She created everything we could have ever dreamed of and more! She made it feel just like a fairytale. Her design ideas and details were so beautiful, romantic, and modern. The seating chart, welcome sign and table, and sanitizing stations were so pretty! We rented out some of her decor and they added the perfect touch. One of the most talked about details about our wedding was the personalized gratitude cards that we used as name cards at each table. This was the sweetest and most thoughtful idea that Rachelle gave us to help our guests feel loved! Rachelle also beautifully designed these cards. She even created our invitations and our Signature Drink sign! Rachelle has great taste and it shows in everything she does. Lastly, I am very indecisive and can also admit that I am not the most fashionable person. Rachelle was so sweet and gave great feedback when I sent her images of outfits, accessories, and hairstyles. All of our choices were intentional and this made everything even more special. Rachelle also went through the rollercoaster of emotions and changes of booking a wedding right before a pandemic. After every set back, she was there to listen and offer guidance. When our venue rates were changed from what we originally thought, Rachelle helped us formulate ideas on how to discuss it with our venue. When there were issues with my wedding dress shipment and alterations, she was there to brainstorm solutions and accompany me to another location for alterations. When we considered changing venues, she went with us on a tour. When I was nervous about our choreographed first dance, she was there to watch us practice and give tips during our final details meeting at the venue. When we had unexpected last minute changes with our guest count two days before the wedding, she coordinated with the venue and made the necessary adjustments to our seating chart. When we forgot a few boutonnieres at the hotel, she came to save the day and expertly made two on the spot! When four of my family members and friends could not figure out how to put my wedding bustle on, she and her assistant, Kristianne, were there on the floor helping us find the loops on my dress. When I cried over the phone/email/text about any issue, Rachelle was there to support me. We will be forever grateful to Rachelle for making our dream wedding become a reality! She is our hero and the real MVP! read more

We hired Rachelle half way into the wedding planning process, after initially working with a different planner. We were anxious with our current situation and were looking for a planner who would manage us, not the other way around. We reached out to Radiant Love Events, and after having a reassuring conversation with Rachelle and hiring her instead, she caught up on our situation super quickly, and absolutely exceeded our expectations from that point forward! Rachelle always felt available and helpful, ready to listen to what mattered to us, while providing pragmatic advice on whatever we needed. She took very detailed notes after each meeting and made sure to follow-up on any questions we had, always answering emails and messages promptly. She was very supportive of the bride-to-be's creative efforts, giving input and guidance, but still allowing her to have complete creative control over the look and aesthetic details. She was also able to accompany us to our tasting, final walk-through, and her presence and knowledge helped. Rachelle was also great at bridging communication between us and the other vendors if there were any misunderstandings or issues. Once she was in the picture, we had complete confidence the whole time that everything was being considered, planned, and tracked. When it came to our wedding day, Rachelle and her assistant had everything handled, and made sure the other vendors were on track as well. Everything ran so smoothly, we completely enjoyed our day without any stress at all. Hiring Rachelle was an amazing choice, and we would recommend her. Our only regret was we didn't hire her in the beginning! read more

I'm writing this review because I'm a vendor who has worked with the owner of Radiant Love Events, Rachelle! She is such a sweet and caring person who is also a very hard working individual. Although I am just a vendor, I love to coordinate with a wedding planner that knows what works best, and that exactly describes Rachelle. I believe I've worked with her a couple of times for two weddings: one in November 2019 and another earlier this year, January 2020. Rachelle is very easy to work with and that is a key factor because it makes my job a lot easier because, as a photo booth vendor, I need to know when and where I need to be set up. Rest assured, either I or my team will have enough time and space for the day. To anyone who is looking for a wedding planner, look no further! As you can see from someone who is just a vendor, speaks volumes! Book Radiant Love Events, you won't regret it!! I definitely look forward to working with you in the near future!! read more

It was such a joy working with Rachelle from Radiant Love Events! From our first conversation, Rachelle asked such thoughtful questions to get to know us, what we are looking for, and things that are important to us. Her deep care for her clients and dedication to her work continued to shine throughout our time working together. We booked the wedding management package with Rachelle and are so glad that we did. Rachelle answered my countless questions and assuaged my concerns, big and small. When we had a difficult time communicating with a vendor, Rachelle provided guidance and support, and reiterated how important it is that our wedding should be what *we* want it to be, not what someone else wants to project onto it. We had so much fun on our special day and a big part of that was knowing that we had Rachelle taking care of things behind the scenes. Rachelle made sure we were hydrated, that there was enough water for guests (it was a scorching day!), that our timeline was moving smoothly, and that we had time to eat. Shout out to Rachelle's husband, who made sure the caterer brought us food and drinks, and that we were comfortable! Our parents were equally impressed by Rachelle, and my mother-in-law commented on how calm and organized Rachelle was. After the wedding, Rachelle sent us a detailed run-down of how the day went, confirmation that gratuity envelopes to vendors were delivered, and her favorite moments of our day. It was such a thoughtful touch since the day passed by so fast for us and we didn't get to see/note everything. We highly recommend Rachelle and the RLE team to everyone! They are excellent communicators, reliable, trustworthy, organized and overall just great to work with! read more

Rachelle is amazing! She's professional, hard working, prompt at responding to all your concerns or questions, she's a great listener and very organize. She's able to guide, provide suggestions and put all your ideas together and more to ease the craziness of planning an event. You tell her what you envision and she will definitely make it happen. She planned our son's first birthday party... Winnie the Pooh theme last November. She assured that we had everything lined up and even saved us a lot of money when it came to choosing vendors and choosing just the right amount of decorations. She's quick to find the right vendors that will do the job right. She was able to find the best florist that made floral arrangements exactly how I wanted them, a baker that designed the best Winnie the Pooh cake, a boba station that served all you can drink tea/ boba for the party, the venue and even small tables and chairs for the kiddos. She also communicates all your wants with all the vendors and makes the time to meet them to assure that everything is taking care of. And of course her attention to details is spectacular...from the dessert table, arrangements, kids activities, table decors, decorations, props and timeline definitely wow'd everyone at the party! She definitely put our minds at eased throughout the planning and of the day of the event. We can't thank Rachelle enough for making our son's first birthday come to life just how I pictured it. We couldn't have done it without her. read more

We knew we made the right decision to go with Rachelle during our initial meeting where we both instantly felt comfortable, and she reassured us that planning the wedding will be a fun process (for all of us). She kept her word. She was there every single step of the way. We didn't have a clear idea of what we wanted in our wedding. Honestly, we just shared a few elements of what we liked, and Rachelle ran with it. She had a vision of exactly what we wanted before we even knew it!!! That's how good she is! We loved her incredible creativity, innovative approach to planning, her patience with our endless questions, and our unavoidable wedding couple stress we had along the way. She had a solution and an answer to every single one of our concerns. Rachelle was not only extremely professional with the vendors with whom she did business (she's well connected), equally important she was personable with our family, friends and the wedding party throughout the year-long planning. She always made us feel special, and it truly felt like we were her only clients. We knew, in reality, however, she was the superwoman event planner and had several clients. Our wedding went off without a hitch, and if there were any, neither the guests nor the couple (us) knew about it! In the end, what mattered to us was that the wedding was visually beautiful and that our family and friends thoroughly enjoy our celebration. We were beyond ecstatic. It's been a few months since our wedding, and we still are hearing comments about how beautiful and classy our wedding was and how much they loved the artistic details. Rachelle went above and beyond and is simply the best. read more

I have had the pleasure of working with Rachelle (Radiant Love Events) on several occasions. The vision, detail, and professionalism that go into her events are amazing. Her passion and expertise are clearly visible in the quality of her work. She will keep you on track, not only with her step-by-step timelines, but also her candidness. Every one of her events is personalized and catered to the client down to the finishing touches. I highly recommend Rachelle's event services (Radiant Love Events) for her expertise, honest opinions, and beautiful execution. read more

Working with Rachelle was an absolute pleasure! When my wife and I got engaged, we wanted to have a quick wedding for various reasons. We knew having a quick wedding would be challenging because: (1) there was uncertainty of cost and availability from vendors post COVID pandemic, (2) it's not like we inherently know how to plan and put together a wedding, and (3) my wife and I work in the public accounting industry so we don't have a lot of time. Overall, we knew we needed help to accomplish putting together such a momentous event! That's where Rachelle entered and helped guide us through the process and put together a wedding we absolutely aspired for! She really takes the time to listen (even listens better than we do to ourselves at times) and tailors a wedding planning approach that suits the bride and groom. Moreover, Rachelle will go the distance for you. Her approach isn't just a "I do whatever we agreed to in the service agreement", she will do whatever to ensure the bride and groom really have this moment. Sometimes a wedding can feel like it's more about the guests, but Rachelle always made sure we felt this was our moment by allowing us time to enjoy the event and make sure we were taken care of. I can go on and on about how happy we are that we had the opportunity to work with Rachelle, but that would make this write-up even longer. Bottom line: if you need a passionate, hard working, "got your back", detailed, and professional wedding planner, look no further than Rachelle and Radiant Love Events!! read more

Rachelle was the planner for our wedding and my husband and I could not be more happy with the service she provided. Our wedding was a "blank slate" so other than the venue, she helped us book everything from the caterer to the bartender to the band we used. We met several times to go over things prior to our wedding. She always made sure that our vision for our special day was in line with what she was putting together for us. She knows vendors in the event planning industry that offer great prices and quality services. Additionally, she is so organized, laying out everything for us in terms of payments to our vendors and deadlines we needed to meet. The decorations were so beautiful, many of which were made by Rachelle. She perfectly executed what we had envisioned in our minds for the big day. The day of, she made everything go smoothly. We had a couple of hiccups that day (that were out of her control and related to the venue) and she quickly acted to sort out any problems we had. Overall, we found Rachelle invaluable for the success of our wedding. After our wedding, our guests kept telling us the same thing: "This was the best wedding I have ever been to" and we definitely owe Rachelle for the success of our big day! Thank you Rachelle! read more

What can I say, Rachelle was amazing. When I first got engaged I knew that all I wanted to do was say yes and no to someone's suggestions. My co-worker suggested her cousin Rachelle and it worked out perfectly. She was able to put everything that my husband and I wanted into our wedding come to life. When we first started our near long journey she was there every step of the way. She came with us to check out all the top venues we liked and even tried to breakdown all the pros and cons of all the venues we were looking into. When it came to our hair & make up, band, florists and various other vendors she gave great suggestions on who she would recommend. I just had to look and review all her recommendations which was what I wanted to ultimately do. Each recommendation that she provided ended up being perfect for out wedding. During the whole process she was only a phone call or text away. She is very on point with what her vision is for her couples. She is an easy going person who listens to her couples and is prompt in responding to our questions and concerns about various aspects of our wedding. She goes above and beyond, she was able to have her parents give my husband and I dance lessons. On the day of our wedding, everything went as scheduled. She prepared all of our vendors with a specific timeline to make sure the day went without a hitch. We were even ahead of schedule most of the time. When we saw the room for the first time, it looked so amazing. Her attention to detail is impeccable. She was able to incorporate special people we wanted to honor in such a great way. My parents even still have the candles she made. She kept the catering staff as organized as possible even though they did not really pay attention to that specific detail. Overall, everyone had a great time and enjoyed themselves. If it wasn't for my co-worker, I wouldn't have met a beautiful and amazing planner. I was able to even recommend her to a friend because I knew she would make their day just as special as she made mine and my husbands. I even gained a new friend out of this whole process. Thank you again, Rachelle for everything that you have done. read more

Rachelle, owner of Radiant Love Events is a wonderful event planner! She helped us plan and coordinate our daughter's 18th birthday celebration. Even though she is based in LA and we are here in San Francisco, the distance was never an issue. She communicated with us frequently, responding to all questions that we had. She helped me find the vendors needed to support and achieve the overall theme of the night, which was Alice in Wonderland. She is organized, kind, approachable and very knowledgeable in the event planning industry. We are grateful for all of her work and support! If I will have another party, I will absolutely contact her again. I highly recommend her, if you are seeking any wedding or event planning needs, please contact Radiant Love Events! read more
