    Day of Wedding Coordinator

    We used Valerie as our day of coordinator for our multi-day wedding weekend and she was truly a pleasure to work with! From the start, communication was always easy, clear, and organized, which made the planning process feel so much less overwhelming. She was extremely hands-on and went above and beyond to help bring our vision to life, especially with all of the DIY projects and personal details that were important to us. On the wedding weekend itself, Val handled everything so were truly able to be present, enjoy each event, and remain stress-free knowing she had everything under control. Our family and friends all noticed how hard she worked and how smoothly everything ran because of her. We could not recommend Val and RDC Collective LLC enough!

    Our vision to reality

    Valerie helped bring our vision to reality. She was very professional, responsive, and organized. From the planning stages to Day of coordination, she was attentive, proactive and made the whole process stress free. Not only did she take on our requests diligently, she provided touches of her own to make the day even more special. Would highly recommend RDC Collective LLC for all your event needs.

Yes, I can help you plan rehearsal dinners, bridal showers and anything in between or outside your typical wedding.
On rare occasions do I take multiple weddings in a single weekend. Every couple gets my full attention the weeks leading up to their wedding to ensure they feel confident and stress-free day of.
Depends on what your needs are! If you are looking for a more involved day-of coordinator I’ll typically start regular communication with you up to 3 months before the big day. Or immediately depending on where you are in your process. This can be anywhere from necessary updates, to weekly check ins or daily comms.
You’ll be working with me directly. An assistant or a separate day-of coordinator will be added depending on the needs of your wedding or availability.
