Best wedding planner!

Where do I begin? Rachael is an outstanding wedding planner to work with! Prior to wedding planning, I never thought I needed one. In actuality, she turned out to be very instrumental in our wedding planning process and on the wedding day. Rachael is very informative, knowledgeable, and easy to work with. She knows when to support and when to take charge, especially when it comes to dealing with parents. When told your vision and what you're looking for, Rachael is able to come up with impressive ideas and has a wealth of knowledge, along with great vendor contacts. Our wedding day would not have turned out to be as successful as it was if it wasn't for her. She and her team are very nice and supportive and was always making sure we were taken care of/fed on our wedding day. We would highly recommend hiring Rachael and her team. She's just an amazing person to work with and can't say enough about her! Love her so much!

The Ultimate Organized Event Planner!

We could not imagine our wedding without Rachael and the A Fine Fete team. From beginning to end, she helped us navigate the entire process and ultimately pull off the most memorable event of our lives! We were definitely overwhelmed going into the entire planning process, but she helped us stay organized and calm at every step. She had amazing suggestions and recommendations that we would never have thought of that truly took things to the next level.

Because of Rachael we could completely enjoy the day and not worry about a thing. She kept things organized and coordinated so smoothly with all of our vendors. No stress and no drama all thanks to Rachael!

We are so grateful to Rachael and her team and would definitely recommend A Fine Fete for all of your wedding planning and coordinating needs.

Awesome to work with - made wedding planning a breeze

Rachael was an outstanding coordinator for our wedding this May. She really listened and got to know us as a couple and what we cared about for our wedding day. This ensured that we spent money on things that mattered to us and didn't waste money on things that weren't as important. Rachael has a ton of contacts in the wedding industry and was able to help get us connected with hair and makeup people on short notice and also provided recommendations for a florist and limo/bus services. She was incredibly on top of everything leading up to the event and we went into the wedding day without any concerns because the timeline was mapped out so effectively. Rachael was also very hands on throughout the day and when a few minor things happened on the venue's side she was right there and helped sort them out quickly, which was hugely appreciated. We had some out of the box ideas for dance floor costumes and props and Rachael was very supportive and helped make our vision come to life. I would highly recommend her to anyone getting married!
