Rachael is just amazing. I would not have been able to survive the wedding madness without her. Her eye for detail gave me peace of mind about my big day that it would run smoothly. She was willing to take all of my ideas and she just absolutely "umphed" them to a level of "absolute wow". She has years of experience and it really shows. Her assistant Molli was my wedding coordinator and she ran the rehearsal and wedding. Everything went so smoothly and people really loved her calm attitude and professionalism. Highly recommend them for anyone needing floral design, wedding planning or coordinating
