Working with Rachel was the best decision we made for our wedding. From day one, they brought a level of professionalism, creativity, and care that made us feel at ease and excited. Every detail, from the venue decor to the timeline, was executed flawlessly. R&R events were so organized and kept us on track without ever making us feel pressured. They really listened to our vision and brought it to life in ways we couldn’t have imagined!
We were especially impressed with how Rachel handled last-minute challenges with such grace and efficiency—problems we weren’t even aware of until after the wedding because they made everything so seamless! All our guests commented on how beautiful and well-organized the day was, and it wouldn’t have been possible without Rachel.
If you’re looking for someone who will make your wedding dreams come true and let you enjoy the day stress-free, Rachel is the perfect choice. We can’t recommend them highly enough! Thank you for making our day unforgettable.”

“Best decision we made!
R&R Events… where do I even begin? For starters, every bride must know that Rachel and her excellent team work magic. If you’re in between wedding planners and florists, I hope my review helps make what may seem like difficult decisions, the easiest. She is by far the best investment for your peace of mind and guest experience.
I am a type A individual and I knew that I needed someone who would not only understand and execute my vision with precision, but keep me conscious of my budget. She’s creative, well organized, and will treat you like the most precious client. Once our wedding had ended, both sets of parents agreed she was by far the best investment we made throughout the entire process.
Oh, and she continued to represent us weeks after our wedding while we were trying to negotiate final bills with vendors! You really can’t get any better than that. We love her and look forward to using her for events in the future.”

“Wedding reception in under 12 weeks
We worked with Rachel to host a medium size Indian & Mexican bicultural reception party in downtown Austin for 125 guests which turned out so beautiful and fun for all. She made it a hassle free experience throughout the planning process and on our party day! We had over a dozen vendors and less than 12 weeks to plan our event, and she was available to help answer questions, advice, and provide guidance along the way- something I was worried I wouldn’t get from a planner when I was searching for one. Rachel came highly recommended by a friend who had worked with her for her wedding, and we are so happy we went with her for our special celebration! She is also an amazing florist and made our floral arch which served as the main backdrop for guest photos, the party decor and the florals were even better than the vision photos we shared during our planning. We hope to host another party with Rachel’s help in the future and couldn’t recommend her enough!”

“Imagine your preferred experience, then double it
Rachel and her team are incredibly responsive, effective, and just all around on top of it—but she does it with a big smile on her face and the utmost respect and understanding. We chose R&R for day-of coordination, with 2 months of lead-up help. She was helpful in ways I didn’t know we needed. We had a 400 person wedding with two very chaotic and stubborn cultures, and we left our wedding drama-free because of how beautifully she and her team coordinated through the mayhem, all with a warm attitude. Would recommend R&R through and through, and whether she likes it or not, we now consider Rachel a friend.”

“Just hire them!
We chose R & R Events after having conversations with several other florists. We felt like Rachel was the most patient and willing to listen to our many ideas and price concerns. Florals are the one piece of the wedding that we couldn’t visualize. We knew how everything else would look but when we pulled up to the venue for the first time, we knew the florals were the wild card. They turned out AMAZING! The flowers were bright and colorful; the way the arrangements and the variety of candles were put together was absolute perfection. We had many people tell us how lovely the flowers were throughout the night. I can’t say enough about Rachel and her business. If you need an attentive professional to help you pull off your event, choose R & R Events and you won’t have to worry about a thing!”

“Two weeks after our wedding and I’m still struggling to adequately describe how integral Rachel and R&R Events were to making our celebration FLAWLESS.
I could go on and on about the hard work, thoughtfulness and precision Rachel brought to our celebration, but let me put it this way: when you invest in a wedding coordinator, you’re not just paying for someone’s time on the day-of, you’re investing in that person’s breadth of expertise and track record in planning and executing memorable events. And we can absolutely say that Rachel and R&R Events were the best investment we made with our wedding budget.
Rachel is organized, professional and efficient. She is both your biggest cheerleader and your staunchest advocate. She is always cool as a cucumber and truly makes you feel like you’re her #1 priority all the time, even while she’s working on other events. And most importantly, she is an absolute pleasure to work with. I have so much confidence in Rachel, I began recommending R&R Events to friends who are getting married even before our wedding happened.
We engaged R&R Events for our ceremony and reception florals, as well as event coordination. We had an 11th hour change to our venue space that necessitated some quick thinking and creativity. Rachel very capably took all of this in stride, perfectly executing our vision for both ceremony and reception. I believe this is due in part to the seamless continuity of having R&R Events handle both florals and planning, but in larger part to Rachel’s precision organization and flexibility. Rachel knows exactly what it takes to make an event run seamlessly for the couple, for the guests and for the vendors (all of whom said it was one of the best-executed events they had been part of). On the floral/decor side, I could not have asked for more. From sourcing hundreds of candles for our ceremony and reception, to designing the bouquet, cake flowers and centerpieces, every piece was gorgeous, thoughtfully designed and perfectly executed.
R&R Events is a five-star service at an absolutely accessible price. Run, don’t walk, to book them for your wedding! ”

“Rachel was referred to us by a friend, and after talking to her, we immediately hired her for floral and wedding planning. She made the entire process a breeze.
Her floral proposal was so beautiful that we utilized it as a color palette for the entire wedding, and the outcome of the floral design was absolutely gorgeous.
Rachel was SO organized, communicative, responsible, and experienced that we knew she just had it throughout the entire process. I personally have difficulty trusting that people will get stuff done, and a hard time with being taken care of in any way, and Rachel just made us both feel so safe and cared for.
On our wedding day, she seemed to be everywhere all the time, steering the ship seamlessly and seemingly effortlessly (though I know it was SO much work.) I can’t imagine my wedding day without her, I’d recommend her to anyone with zero reservations.
P.S. I feel like I probably owe her for a few therapy sessions when she talked me out of my anxiety spirals and set me on course for creating the wedding of OUR dreams, no one else’s.”

“Stress free!
Rachel was so easy to work with! We had about 50 people for our wedding and cocktail party style reception. I gave Rachel my budget, some color ideas, and a general idea of where I wanted flower arrangements and let her run with it from there. What she came up with was absolutely perfect and beautiful. The flowers on the arch piece was stunning - lots of guests took additional pictures there. After the reception, we took all the flowers home for a second reception we had at the house the following day then took many of the arrangements to a retirement home after that. Those that we kept held up for nearly a week!
Every time I reached out to Rachel with questions, she was always quick to respond and never left me wondering about anything. Her online system made payment easy with reminders for when the next payment was due. It really was all super easy and we couldn’t have been happier with our choice.”

“Best money to spend for your wedding ever! Having R & R Events on the day of our wedding was the best decision ever. Rachel was a life saver in the chaos that is planning our own wedding. She also made our floral arrangements for our wedding our party. We felt well taken care of by Rachel and her team and she was so fun to work with. The price you pay for the help and coordination she provides is an amazing value. We’d definitely hire R & R Events again!”

“Floral Arrangements + Wedding Planner? YES! Rachel was an amazing wedding planner — we would have been lost without her. I originally booked her for just the wedding planner and ended up also booking her for the floral arrangements and I am SO glad I did —- it was one less vendor to coordinate and the flowers came out elegant, and simple and beautiful. My only regret is that we didn’t book her at the very beginning of the process. We had tried to do it all on our own but quickly discovered we were basically working a full-time job after we already came home from a full day at work. It got to be way too stressful. We talked to three other planners and ended up going with Rachel because she wasn’t part of a giant company and felt like she was more personable than the other ones we met with. We had no idea what we were doing but Rachel was amazing at guiding us along the way without ever getting frustrated or impatient. Rachel is responsive, personable and made everything stress-free. She also had great ideas and helped me brainstorm several times on the best thing to do (i.e. what linens go best with the flowers? What kind of dessert should we get? etc.). My mom also loved her - Rachel did an amazing job working with her too. Thank you, Rachel!”

“ The most professional vendor we hired for our wedding day. We hired R&R Events for our wedding. Rachel did day of wedding coordination and our (GORGEOUS) florals. It’s taken me this long to sit down and write this, not because I didn’t want to or didn’t know what to say, it’s because I truly don’t think words can do Rachel and R&R Events justice. I’ve decided the best way to fully understand her greatness is to experience it.
I would recommend her to ANY couple. There are some things I would change if I could go back and do our wedding again, but I would re-hire Rachel in a heart beat. In fact, I would have hired her to do even more services than what we chose.
If I could describe Rachel in one word, it would be PROFESSIONAL. Of all the vendors we hired for our wedding day, she was the most professional; she was honest, flexible, direct, excellent at communicating, and quick to respond! I appreciated this so much, and was grateful she had our back. Her professionalism gave me so much confidence and peace of mind.
Her next best trait is her delightful creativity. She has incredible taste and went above and beyond to ensure every detail of our wedding was perfect with her creative eye and talents! To make my groom’s vintage cowboy dreams come true, she made custom shotgun shell boutonnieres for him and our groomsmen. She was full of so many great ideas and tips. My bouquet was something out of a dream.
Another one of her incredible traits is her overall attentiveness and attention to detail, which is critical for a successful wedding coordinator. She worked so hard on our wedding day and everyone noticed. We received multiple compliments on how nice, helpful, and present she was.
We can’t thank Rachel of R&R Events enough. Our wedding would have not been the same without her. From the months of planning to the day of, I could relax knowing we were in her extremely capable hands. R&R Events for helped make our wedding dreams and visions become a reality. THANK YOU!”
