    Couldn't have done it without them

    Worth every penny for helping my husband and I do the final details and coordinate our wedding day. I couldn't have done it without their team. We were actually able to enjoy our wedding day and not have to worry about wrangling our parents. They kept our family informed and sent out VIP details for us to our families. We are so glad we went with them!

    Best wedding vendor ever!

    Booking Whatever is Lovely was one of the best decisions we made while wedding planning! The moment the Whatever is Lovely Team led by Rachel and Katie stepped in, it felt like a breath of fresh air. They knew all the questions to ask to help me prepare leading up to our day and really focused in on every details that made me have confidence in the logistics of our day. They are experts, hard working and deserve so much credit for all the work they put in for our day! The day of our wedding we very much felt supported thanks to them and their dream team. When people ask me for wedding recommendations, I always lead with this planning company, truly a 10/10 vendor!

    Best day of our lives, thanks to Rach!

    If there is one piece of advice I can give to engaged couples, it’s to hire Rach and the Whatever is Lovely team. I have been trying to write this review for months now and have struggled because words can’t describe how amazing Rach is and how grateful we are to have had her plan our wedding. To start, Rach is the nicest, kindest, and most caring person you’ll ever meet. She is truly one of my favorite people. From the moment we met her she had our best interests at heart. Rach didn’t try to sell us on hiring her or on spending more money on a different package - she wanted to make sure we found the right planning fit. Rach made the planning process SO much easier. Rach sent us monthly to do’s which kept us on track. She helped us build the most wonderful team of vendors; we had the most amazing team and that is all thanks to Rach. She got to know our taste for each vendor category and sent us a few options to consider - this made the process of narrowing down vendors in a big city so much easier and less overwhelming. Rach was always so speedy to respond to our many questions and put up with all our many anxieties. I was quite the anxious bride and Rach was always there to calm my anxieties and always knew exactly what to say. She literally picked me up when I was down - literally, she helped me up when I tripped on my dress! Our wedding day was the best day of our lives. It was more than perfect. I honestly can’t take much credit for how perfect it was, because it was all because of Rach. I can’t give Rach and her team enough thanks or enough praise for making our wedding so beautiful and fun. I didn’t have to worry about anything on our wedding day. Rach and her team took care of everything. They told us where to be and when. I barely had to lift a finger because someone was there to do anything for me. We received so many compliments from our wedding party, friends, and family about how wonderful Rach was and how seamless our wedding day was. I cannot say enough good things about Rach. She is wonderful and amazing at her job. If you’re looking for a wedding planner or day of coordinator, look no further than Rach and Whatever is Lovely! I cannot recommend them enough!

    AMAZING!!!

    If you do one thing for yourself while wedding planning, hire this team to assist you. They truly know how to make your experience far beyond expectations. We hired Rachael and her team to take some stress off my family and I and wow they did so much more. There's a 1000 little details that you do not realize are involved and they managed to handle 1001 of them. Each team member has a wonderful personality, extremely supportive, professional and overall fun. I was constantly smiling around them.

    BEST wedding decision we made!!!

    Where do I begin?! Whatever is Lovely is by far THE BEST decision I made during the entire wedding planning process. I picked partial planning but they truly went above and beyond - it almost felt like I got the full planning services with the amount of love and dedication they bring to the table. Rach and her team were always so quick to respond whenever I had questions - which usually happened at like midnight when I couldn’t sleep. My entire planning process and wedding day was done thoroughly, thoughtfully and intentionally. They brought my visions and inspo pics to life. I feel like our entire wedding exceeded my pinterest board inspirations. I had many family members and guests approach me talking about how impressed they were with my wedding planner and vendor team. We last minute had to change to a weather / rain back up plan - Rach and her team kept me calm and helped create the best plan possible. The rain plan ended up being even better than the original plans. I have so much love for Whatever is Lovely and I wish I could get married every weekend if it meant I got to work with them again. They coordinated the smallest of details that I would have never thought of myself. Rach and her team also care about building lasting and genuine connections with their couples. They started as a wedding planner but I truly can call them my friends!! Book this team - you will not regret it!
