About RS Event Co
RS Event Co
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!

The First Vendor you Need to Book for your Wedding
Raquel is a rare gem in the wedding industry, where you genuinely feel you are getting the best possible service at an incredibly reasonable price. I am not sure how we would have made it through this process without her intense level of care, attention to detail, and wealth of experience. She met every curveball and panicked text with prompt and calm solutions that carried to and through a perfect wedding day. 5 stars simply aren't enough! She started as a bridal bestie, but has turned into a friend for life 3

Exceptional!
Raquel Simoneau of RS Event Co was exceptional from start to finish. She kept us on track throughout the entire planning process, helping us navigate contracts, timelines, and countless details while making everything feel manageable and stress-free. The comment we heard over and over from our guests was, "The wedding was so smooth." That is a testament to Raquel's talent, organization, and professionalism. She handled every detail with skill and finesse, allowing our family to simply enjoy the day. We can't say enough about her. We even mentioned her in our wedding speeches because she played such an important role in making our daughter's wedding a success. If you want someone who will make your event a priority and execute it flawlessly, we highly recommend Raquel and RS Event Co.

Raquel was amazing! She was very helpful and professional throughout the entire wedding prep/day of and was always willing to chat/help out anytime we needed. She did a great job of coordinating the vendors and was a life-saver the day of the wedding - don’t know what we would have done without her! Can’t recommend her enough!!

Best Decision We Made For Our Wedding Day!!!
If you’re a bride on the fence about hiring a coordinator—trust me when I say you will want Raquel, in your corner. She is truly a saint dropped on this earth for brides everywhere! As a Type A bride, I knew I needed someone who could match my level of organization—but what I found in Raquel was so much more. From the moment we signed with her, she stayed consistently connected and fully invested. She never missed a beat when it came to vendor communication, design details, timelines, or logistics. More importantly, she took the time to truly understand us—our vision for the day, our personalities, and even our family dynamics (the good, the bad, and everything in between). Raquel is calm, collected, and incredibly organized—exactly the energy every bride needs. On our wedding day, she was essentially our stunt double: always in sync, always one step ahead! She greeted and managed every vendor, kept the day moving seamlessly, and allowed me to fully enjoy special moments with my bridesmaids without worrying about a single detail. She came prepared with her own wedding-day emergency kit—something I didn’t realize the value of until it saved the day multiple times. From reinforcing my bustle (more than once!), lint-rolling my husband’s jacket before photos, to literally sewing a groomsman’s ripped pants —Raquel handled it all effortlessly. You would never have known anything went wrong, because the entire day felt flawless. She has an incredible intuition—knowing exactly when to give us space to enjoy our guests and dance, and when to step in with support (whether it was another bustle fix or a quick heel-to-slipper change later in the night). Raquel doesn’t just guide you through planning and execute the day perfectly—she becomes fully invested in your wedding. She celebrates it with you, and even relives it when your photos and videos arrive, as if it were her own! Hiring Raquel was hands-down one of the best decisions we made, and we truly owe the seamlessness and joy of our day to her!

Photographers
We’ve been wedding photographers for 18 years, and we'll say that Raquel is on a whole different level. We have never worked with a planner like her. Super organized, incredibly efficient, and always magically there when you need her… yet never in the way or in a single shot. It’s honestly impressive. She goes above and beyond in every possible way to make the day perfect both for the couple and for the vendors. She kept everything running smoothly, made our job easier, and brought such a positive, calming energy to the day. Raquel is a total gem, and we’d jump at the chance to work with her again. If you get the opportunity to have her on your team, take it!
