Loved working with Lili from RLL!

We were thrilled with how everything turned out on our wedding weekend thanks to Lili from RLL! After mostly doing the planning myself and facing some issues with unresponsive vendors, we hired her 3 months before our wedding. She was incredibly responsive and supportive leading up to the wedding, proving great vendor suggestions. I am a verbal processor and Lili is a great listener and gave advice and suggestions that helped make the wedding feel like “us.” She also helped us plan our welcome party the night before the wedding and coordinated with a fairly new restaurant that hadn’t done events of our size before. A week out, we had to pivot for unexpected rain and Lili helped us find an affordable last minute tent (which I hear is unheard of in the wedding industry). On the wedding day, she advocated for what we wanted and we had our dream ceremony outside despite a very close call with the rain. Thank you Lili and Riley Loves Lulu!

Dream barn wedding

We knew that we wanted a wedding in nature with dancing until at least 12am. In the Napa area, this is a near impossible task! RLL helped us find a venue that was absolutely magical and worked with us to craft a day that felt extremely “us”. Not only did we end up with the wedding we were hoping for, but also amazing food, music, and flowers. One of the highlights of working with RLL was the connections to fantastic vendors. We liked everyone they chose so much that it was hard to say goodbye after the party! RLL also worked out all the details to make guests feel included and taken care of the whole weekend — all of our friends reached out afterwards to express how much they appreciated this. Thank you to Jess and Lisa who worked incredibly hard to plan such a special day and then stayed by our side the whole time to make sure it went smoothly.

Great experience

We chose RLL after interviewing ~10 planners, and the eventual reason came down to just "vibes." Jess & Lisa are just lovely to talk to communicate with. For the last year of planning our wedding with Jess and Lisa, we've felt taken care of, listened to, and supported. They were necessary in guiding us toward the best choices and keeping us focused on our ultimate goals. They were patient when we repeated ourselves and harped on tiny details, and helped give us patience when we were coordinating with some kinda frustrating vendors.

I really wonder how anyone keeps their cool without a wedding planner - this process showed me how much work goes into making it looks easy, and having their expert opinions saved us on multiple near misses. One specific benefit is their wealth of documents & templates - an entire wedding portal that has things like timeline checklists, gratuity guidance, questionnaires, etc.

On our actual wedding weekend, it felt like we had such a team behind us. From getting additional help from Lili, who jumped in and never missed a beat, to their focused attention during that final week, it was all so reassuring.

I'll miss this team's straightforward opinions, logical advice, and cheerful attitudes in our lives! Thank you RLL!!!!!!!!
