    Visionary design details and a thoughtful team!

    Rachel and Crystal are both a joy to work with. They celebrate you each step of the way and know how to make the wedding planning as stress-free as possible. And the florals and design -- don't think twice! Rachel took my jumbled up words and ideas and made the most picture perfect arrangements. People are still talking about the floral arrangements weeks after the wedding!

    Dream Team

    11/10 recommend reaching out to Rachael and Crystal at SDD. Our Venue (Uptown Indigo) actually recommended Rachael when we inquired about a local day-of coordinator. When I first reached out to SDD, I knew the overall vibe I wanted to have for the wedding, but was on the fence about the type of theme/colors/flowers/etc. Rachael consolidated all of my ideas and presented me with a mood board that captured everything I envisioned and more. Her packages were surprisingly affordable and could be modified to meet our financial needs. We decided to choose SDD for planning AND floral/design. It was our best investment in the wedding outside of the venue. She took so much stress off of my shoulders and was AMAZING day of. Everything flowed beautifully and our frequent communication was most helpful to settle my concerns.

    Truly Magical

    The ladies at ScreenDoor Diaries are so incredibly talented, and I am so thankful to have been one of their clients. Our wedding day was one of the most magical days of my life, and I will forever be so thankful for their hard work and dedication. I used their full service planning and coordination package as well as their floral and event design. Every detail was truly exquisite from the coordination of my vendors throughout the planning process, to the arrangement of the lounge furniture, to all of the beautiful flower and greenery work, our place settings, and their impeccable day-of-coordination. They were able to take my original vision and turn it into something so much more than I could have imagined. My breath was taken away when we saw the final product of their hard work! They executed our wedding day to true perfection. It was so fun to work Rachael and Crystal in planning my wedding- they were so supportive of me and my vision! I will cherish the memories of my wedding planning process with them and my mother, as well as my beautiful wedding day forever!

    Made our dreams come true!

    It's been several months since our wedding, and I still can't get over the ambiance and every detail -- it was just what I wanted, thanks to Rachael & Crystal's expert design, planning, and management. They took my abstract vision and worked with our vendors to literally make my dream come true. They were happy to share their insight and experience while still respecting our ideas, preferences, and budget throughout the planning process. I do event planning for work, but didn't want to have to think about all the details and whatnot and honestly it was the best decision we made. I am a type A person, and it gave me so much comfort to know that our wedding planning process and the day-of coordination were in such good hands.

    Phenomenal

    Working with Rachael and Crystal was an absolute dream. From the beginning Rachael was very upfront with prices and expectations. We created a Pinterest board for inspiration and they took off with it! Everything I had ever wanted for our wedding came true, plus some! We wanted a super moody vibe for the wedding and boy did they deliver! I literally cried when we saw everything because it was all so absolutely gorgeous and way more than we ever expected. Not only was the design perfect but the day went without any flaws. Everything ran so smoothly. Rachael constantly filled us with positive vibes and reassured us that everything was going to be perfect, and she was absolutely right. We can’t say enough amazing things about Screendoor Diaries! They are an amazing team and can’t thank them enough!!!

    Rachael is a life changing planner!

    I just booked Rachael for our wedding next year and she has exceeded expectations. She's willing to work with you on your vision and budget and is such a sweetheart. Planning my wedding from hundreds of miles away is stressful but I'm so glad I have Rachael for Month of coordination/decorations/ and as our florist! It's so great to have it all in one place but especially with someone like Rachael and her team. She always responds, is flexible, timely, and ridiculously organized. Book her! I screened so many coordinators and the others all pale in comparison.

    I know it's cheesy, but we think you're grate!

    I was never the person who dreamed of my wedding day growing up or had a specific vision in mind. This made the planning process especially difficult for me. Enter Screendoor Diaries & Co. Rachael and Crystal helped guide me every step of the way. The entire team was able to create the celebration of a lifetime, going above and beyond what me, my husband, or anyone could have ever hoped for. Rachael pays attention to every single detail and truly makes her events unique. From keeping everyone on schedule, to placing each flower perfectly, to an impromptu wedding dress bustle, and making sure the bride and groom are never without a drink in hand -- she covers it all. Also, we can't forget to mention the charcuterie spread they created. It was so beautiful you didn't want to even touch it. We received an insane amount of compliments, and I couldn't be more happy to have had such an exquisite wedding I never knew I wanted! I would recommend Screendoor Diaries & Co. a million times over.

    Micro Wedding with a Macro Experience

    Planning a micro destination wedding has EXTREME perks, especially when Screendoor Diaries and their amazing team has your back. Being an out of town bride, I had very little knowledge of the local vendors and quite honestly didn't know where to start. With the powers of social media and our venue suggestions, I found Screendoor Diaries and immediately reached out. Solely based on previous events at the venue and their work portfolio, I was stunned and blown away by their approach to fully incorporate planning, design, and florals. I knew I wanted a micro wedding based on the guest count, but I wanted the experience to be macro-style or in other words, I wanted it to feel like a 200 guest wedding. Food, florals, design, everything that Rachel and her team touched was beyond anything I could have imagined. They took my Pinterest vision board and transformed it to something unique and personal that everyone will remember forever. Like most destination weddings, I booked everything sight-unseen however Rachel and her team did everything they could to help me envision and I, no doubt, had full trust in their abilities. Having a single source for planning and design is something I will forever recommend to brides and I'm thankful for Screendoor Diaries and everything they did!

    Amazing work!

    Rachael and Crystal were so amazing! They definitely went above and beyond to help with my day! My wedding day went so smoothly and I definitely credit ScreenDoor Diaries for it. Rachael and Crystal were there for me any time I had a question and helped with more than just day of coordinating. I couldn't imagine having my day go so well without them!

    Rachael and her team are absolutely phenomenal. Not only is she an exceptional designer she is an incredible coordinator. I have full confidence that if you can dream it, they can design it!
    Rachael has a heart and passion for design and people which shines through in all of her work. If you hire Screendoor Diaries & co. you can host any event with full confidence that everything will be perfect, stress free and better than you could even imagine!

    Exceptional

    Rachael was wonderful to work with! I initially met with her because she came recommended by our venue, and knew I would be booking with Screendoor Diaries right away. During the whole process she was always available for questions or concerns, offered suggestions on other vendors that would fit my budget, and directed me through what to expect in each stage of planning. Screendoor Diaries offers several packages, and I chose one where I selected my own vendors and then they managed them. Even with finding my own DJ, photographer, and caterer, I didn't feel any stress. Once I booked someone I gave Rachael their contact info and moved on. I also used Screendoor Diaries for my floral arrangements, and everything was gorgeous. She even went out of her way to save the roots on some of the plants so I could replant them! My wedding was the least stressful wedding I have ever been in or attended, and I have Rachael and her wonderful team to thank!

    Awesome florist and event planner!

    Five stars are not enough for Rachel and her company! She made my daughter’s wedding a perfectly magical day! We never worried about a single detail! Her professionalism, creative eye, and attention to detail is amazing. If you are not using her for your events.....you are making a huge mistake!

    True artist & visionary

    Rachael has an incredible gift for understanding your vision as a couple and making it come to life! Rachael is a true ARTIST. She somehow captures emotion and essence in her design work (which I didn't even know was possible!).

    My husband and I shared our vision of our wedding as a space for community, warmth, and joy, and she knew exactly how to create that environment through her floral design, lighting, and reception floor plans. She did an INCREDIBLE job of executing our desire for somewhat minimal decor (not overwhelming a room with tons of decorations) by creating beautiful focal points of decor that filled the space with their intricate details. Rachael also provided invaluable guidance in planning and getting the most out of our wedding budget. And then, she worked within our strict budget to create STUNNING floral arrangements. I was definitely particular about some details, but she was so accommodating and even made a last-minute change on my bridal bouquet!

    Our wedding day was stress-free because we knew we could trust Rachael to creatively problem solve day-of surprises & execute our vision. When our cake arrived at the venue lopsided and about to fall over, Rachael saved the day by stabilizing it and creatively placing her beautiful floral piece so you couldn't even tell the difference! We had forgotten to get a cake stand, and again she stepped in with a creative solution by repurposing a wooden box from the venue & adding florals around it so that it blended in with our decor seamlessly.

    Rachael is a creative genius who has the ability to bring a vision to life like no one else I've ever met! BOOK HER!!!

    Wedding florals and decor

    Our most loved vendor! Everything was personalized to fit our venue, price range, and design preference. Can not stress how much I loved having them and was blessed to have them be part of my wedding day to make my Pinterest wedding inspo come to live but even better than imagined.

    Polished Professional

    Having worked with Rachel with both a New Year's Eve event and a wedding during December, I quickly realized how passionate she is about the overall experience for the guests. Her insight and envisionment for the intended event is rarely seen in planners and/or coordinators today. I'm a DJ having completed over 900+ weddings to date, so I don't say these things lightly. She is whole heartedly involved with every aspect of the events she does and it certainly shows in her willingness and thoroughness to execute the vision of the client. I would consider her to be, of the Top 1% of Pros-to-know for anyone who's in need of a Planner for any event. Her ideas and forward thinking, are so clever and sure to be a huge asset to you for any occasion. In short, she's my first choice as a how-to-guru for getting the job done and, an absolute pleasure to work with.

    Best Decision I Made!!

    From the beginning Rachel was so helpful! She truly made every moment of our wedding amazing, and relaxing. Not once the day of the wedding did I have to worry about anything, she made sure everything ran smoothly and on TIME! I can't express how much I appreciate everything Rachel did for us, I strongly believe that our day wouldn't have been as enjoyable/ relaxing without her help! She is truly the Fairy Godmother of Weddings. She takes your vision/dream and turns it into a real life Fairy Tale.

    CREATIVE GENIUS. Rachael and her team always find a way.

    At our venue we have only one wedding planner on our "Favorite Vendors" page. It's Rachael with ScreenDoor Diaries.

    I've worked with Rachael on multiple weddings, and they've all gone flawlessly. People say you never have a perfect wedding, but I say that's ridiculous. Even if you lose a sock or something small, you can have a perfect day if the important things go they way you want them to, and every event I've worked with Rachael on, the important things ended up perfect.

    Let me tell you about the last time I worked with Rachael: We had a ticketed event to promote our venue called the LOVE NEVER DIES and she worked with our budget, purchased florals for the entire venue, and made sure every guest was happy. The level of service, creative problem solving, and creative beauty that Rachael brought to our event at Uptown Indigo was astonishing. Tickets were $96.00 so it HAD to be a lit party. Every SINGLE guest told me it was perfect, down to the last detail. Wedding coordination and event planning is clearly her passion, and she is a CREATIVE GENIUS. Just meet with her once and you'll see what I mean.

    Rachael was professional, optimistic, and organized.

    5 days before my wedding we had to completely change venues and everything we had planned due to a huge hurricane forecasted for our wedding day. Screendoor Diaries took the decor we had already purchased and added her own inventory to transform the new venue location into the most beautiful setting. With so little time she was able to create literal magic and it really felt that the hurricane changing our plans was a blessing in disguise. Could not recommend her for your event enough!

    My most valuable wedding expense!

    I’m so glad I was able to find Rachael and her team at screen door diaries to help me with my wedding. She worked with me and my budget, gave great advice in situations where I was having trouble making decisions, and basically was an all around life saver. We set up a Pinterest board together so she could get a feel for my style and it helped me to not feel pressured to figure out every detail on my own. Her decor was breathtaking and I didn’t have to worry about cleanup either. Even people in my wedding party noticed how amazing she was and how I had the calmest, most beautiful wedding day thanks to her and her team! People made comments how nobody was bothering me on my day and I was able to be pampered & that was all due to Screen Door Diaries. She was a dream to work with for my entire planning time as well as they day of, and after!

    Elegant, dreamy, low-stress outdoor wedding

    My husband and I got engaged in December of 2013 and were married in May of 2014. My number one priority for our wedding day was not to be stressed! What a God-send Rachael Rushing was. She made the entire process (casting a vision for the day, budgeting, logistics, communication, execution) not only extremely low-stress, but actually a happy and smooth process. What I had envisioned as a simple outdoor wedding materialized four months later, through Rachael's skilled eye and talented hands, into an elegant and dreamy wedding that honestly I could not take any credit for! She took our seedling ideas and really made them "bloom" (and then some). On our wedding day, Rachael managed and coordinated the events so that we could focus on each other and our friends and family. What a precious gift that was. I could not recommend Screen Door Diaries more highly. Thank you so much, Rachael! We will always be grateful for your vision, generosity, and enthusiasm!

    Come Away With Me- Outdoors Wedding

    Our wedding was the day was more than the day we dreamed it would. I often felt like Rachael and her team took our wishes and formed organized ideas within moments. Her careful consideration of our budget, our style, and our core values, were all evident as the process of planning continued. I give great thanks and highly recommend Screendoor Diaries for their willingness to guide you in the days of planning and therefore allow you to relax and enjoy the event when the time comes!
