Rane Designs

Biggest wedding regret was hiring this team

As you start booking your wedding vendors, many people in the wedding world may tell you that RANE Designs is the best coordinator in Lubbock. Do your own research rather than taking strangers’ words for it. I fell for it, and it is now my biggest regret when I look back on my wedding. I have a hard time reflecting on my wedding with fond memories due to how poor of a job they did and how rude they were to many family members of ours. My ceremony was ruined due to their disorganization and it’s a moment I will never get back. My biggest fear growing up was that my handicapped father wouldn’t be able to walk me down the aisle due to his disability. They made that fear come true! My dad (in a wheelchair) was left in the back corner of a room when the ceremony began, and I ended up having to walk down the aisle alone because the RANE Designs team had a huge miscommunication. When I asked Ashley what happened afterwards, she just said their microphones stopped working. She did not apologize nor take any accountability/try to make things right. Her team was also very inconsistent with the plans set in the rehearsal in comparison to wedding day. They told us one thing in rehearsal, then harshly told my family members the complete opposite thing during the ceremony. My family members are not overly sensitive people, but because of how rudely RANE’s team treated them, they chose to leave after the ceremony. I also hired a content creator to film my wedding day. I was excited to look back at some clips of my cocktail hour since I didn’t get to attend it, only to receive a crap ton of files featuring RANE Designs flipping the room, rather than clips of people enjoying our cocktail hour. Please tell me why I would ever want footage of the room flip. RANE has posted quite a bit of this content on their social media, and did not pay a dime for it, reaping the benefits of the vendor I hired. Additionally, I made my design vision extremely clear throughout the planning process. Unfortunately, one particular floral installation looked nothing like what had been discussed & nothing like any inspiration photos we had ever talked about. NOTHING. It happened to be the piece I was most excited about as well, so that is what made it extremely disappointing. A 1,700 piece that I ended up hating. While this falls mainly on the florist, Ashley and her team should have recognized the disconnect before it was too late. By the time I saw everything, there was no opportunity to fix it. I was hardly able to relax on wedding night due to the forgetfulness and lack of attention to detail this team displayed. I was having to remind them of little details throughout the night that they forgot about. The few positives I will give are that Ashley was very responsive when I texted or emailed her a few months out from the wedding, and she was very helpful during the month of meeting. She also created a very detailed and organized day of timeline that was done well. There are MANY other specifics I could give as to why I don’t believe this team is worth what they charge, but I wrote enough of a novel. I hope nobody has to experience the sadness I experience when looking back on how my wedding ceremony went.

Anderson Live Wedding Painting

Ashley is amazing to work with. She is thoughtful, precise, coordinated, and she runs an event in a way that fills everyone with confidence, from the bride and groom, to the vendors and the staff. Absolutely a gem! I cannot recommend anyone more highly than Ashley.

Fabulous Wedding Planner

As a wedding entertainer with DJ Entertainment, I get to work with many other vendors. Ashley with Rane Designs is one of my favorites. I have worked with her and her team many times and there has never been a problem. She is incredibly organized and has every detail planned out. I can't wait to work with Rane again.

Excellent Wedding Coordinator

I have worked with Ashley on several occasions concerning meetings with brides as we go over florals decor and linens. She is very precise about decisions and offers various money savings ideas for brides. She’s excellent at directing the wedding the day of and even stays to help clean up.

Ashley and her team were seriously the DREAM TEAM at our wedding!! I remember saying on the day of the wedding that there was absolutely no reason for me to stress because Rane Designs was fully in control, and I LOVED that feeling! They took so much stress off our shoulders and handled absolutely everything behind the scenes. I was able to truly enjoy our wedding day without worrying about all the little details because I knew they had it covered. I couldn’t be more grateful that we had Ashley as our day-of planner and would recommend them to absolutely everyone!! If you want a team that is organized, on top of everything, and also SO much fun to work with, this is it! They truly helped make our wedding day everything we wanted it to be!
