About RS Event Co

RS Event Co

Owner | Lead Planner

While I offer planning services for all types of events, weddings are my absolute favorite. I love working with people. I love making them laugh. I love love and I love watching each event unfold. This is literally my dream job and I am so grateful that I get to work in this amazing industry.

You can call me the logistics queen behind RS Event Co. I have been told I am as effervescent as a bottle of Champagne. I hug big and hold the people that are closest to me in this world VERY close. My passion lies in all things detail - after all, each event is made up of a million little ones!

Working with Raquel was wonderful in every way. She brings a supportive, relaxed and joyful energy to a wedding day and she is attentive to every detail, always jumping in to make sure things are going smoothly. I am so happy I had the chance to work with Raquel as the photographer of a wedding she was planning for the loveliest couple on May 10th 2025 at Wyndcrest Estate! Raquel was kind but personable in a way that made the couple and guests feel comfortable and at ease throughout their day - which is then reflected in their photos and overall experience. I would highly recommend RS Event Co. to anyone!

Hiring Raquel was truly the best decision we made (and the best money we spent on our entire wedding). She went above and beyond at every step of the wedding planning process and exceeded all our expectations. Without a doubt our wedding day would not have been as seamless and stress free if it were not for Raquel and her expert planning and coordination. Not only did Raquel keep us on track (especially important given we were terrible procrastinators), she is a kind, fun person and was a joy to work with. Sometimes I think we might not have had a wedding if it were not for Raquel--one thing is for sure, it definitely would not have been as perfect a day. Obviously, I cannot recommend her services enough!
A Great Team Player!

I highly recommend Raquel and the RS Event Co team! As a wedding vendor myself I appreciate the attention to detail, both leading up the wedding day, day of and after. Raquel went above and beyond making sure that not only the couple and guests had everything they needed but she also took care of the vendor team too. Raquel was always there before I even needed to ask and I appreciate her quick thinking and willingness to offer help for anything (including holding umbrellas!) I will continue to recommend Raquel to my future couples and hope to work alongside her again in the future!

We found RS Event Co. through a friend and are so glad we did! The Month-Of Coordination package offered us just what we wanted as we were looking for someone to handle the day of details to allow our family to enjoy the big day. And while Raquel did handle the smaller details, she also did so much more. From day one, she was professional, supportive and detail oriented, quickly becoming someone we could rely on and ask questions to. She made herself available for not only calls with vendors, but in-person meetings, ensuring our questions were heard and our vision was being brought to life. On the day of the wedding, Raquel struck the perfect balance of being supportive and discreet and after the event, I kept telling friends and family that I felt like everything went perfectly! I know that’s a testament to all the hard work Raquel put in to ensure my husband and I had the best day. She anticipated our needs before we had to ask and went above and beyond in areas that we didn’t even know we’d need until the big day (an example being driving guests from our reception to the parking lot in the venue’s golf cart). These feelings don’t just apply to myself and my husband as my parents have also expressed their gratitude for everything she did. We were all able to be present the entire day because of Raquel and that was truly a gift! For anyone considering a wedding coordinator, please reach out to Raquel! She will immediately jump in to help wherever she can while also being your personal cheerleader.

Yes! We're open to collaborating on other events in addition to weddings! In the past, we've also worked on bridal showers, baby showers, birthday parties, and community events.

We only take one event per day. We also try our best not to book back to back event days. We want each client to get that undivided attention as their day approaches.

Absolutely! We love to travel and are happy to pack our bags and plan events in new places. Travel is included within 50 miles of New Haven, Connecticut. We do charge for accommodations and any travel outside of that range. We’re happy to give you a customized quote for these services!

This is a great question - and our answer 99% of the time is YES! We absolutely love working with venue coordinators. However, our role and their role is usually quite different. While venue coordinators will handle venue aspects of the day - room layout, sometimes catering, etc. - they won’t be creating a day-of timeline for you or attending to your floral meetings or calling your transportation company to make sure they are on time. We like to think of it as a partnership between our team and the venue - you benefit by having every aspect of your day covered!

Events come in all different shapes and sizes--and planning is definitely not one-size-fits-all... and you wouldn't want it to be! Our services are completely custom based on your unique needs, the size of your event, location, venue, design preferences, all the things. Because of this, we provide a personalized quote for you, which is why our website lists the base price (aka the number after 'starting at').
