Cuisine

Coordination

Rachael's passion and drive thrives in wedding coordination and management. As part of the wedding world for over 16 years, (starting at 16!) she has pushed herself to be one of the best in the area. While "Day of coordination" is not on her services offered, because from the time you sign with her, she helps to conduct your day until the very end!

Also included in most of the coordination/management packages, is a vast amount of decor, signs, and faux florals and greenery that saves couples a large amount of money and stress of locating items!

Rentals

Riverwood takes great pride in offering affordable rentals, including linens! Riverwood was named "Top Wedding Vendors" for Central Virginia in Virginia Living Magazine for 2021 and 2022!

We are in the beginning stages of talking with this vendor but I have to say I am so appreciative of their timely response and ease of communication of our desires.So far they have been a pleasure to work with.

Best Coordinator ever!

We hired Rachael as one of our first vendors when we got engaged. Although COVID has changed our plans so many times, Rachael has never missed a beat. She has been so quick to make changes and adjustments to make sure we had the perfect day. She knew exactly what I liked and didn't like, sometimes even before I did! When everything seemed like it was falling apart, Rachael had solutions for all of my "world-ending-problems" like it was nothing! She always had a back up plan up her sleeve, and made it seem like that was the plan all along! On our tiny wedding day, she made everything go so smoothly, even though we didn't have a rehearsal. I changed my mind so many times on all sorts of things, and Rachael just smiled and made it happen! When I needed a sounding board to bounce ideas off, she always gave me the best advice and offered so many suggestions, but made sure I was never overwhelmed. For a type A bride, she was the best!
