"I have 4 spreadsheets, 3 Excel tabs, and a Pages note on my phone. I still forgot to tell the caterer about Raj's shellfish allergy. We found out at the tasting."
01 · The shared plan

An easy-to-follow plan. You and Rae move through it together.

Rae builds you a clear plan from day one. Every task, every preference, every family decision in one place. You see what's next. Rae remembers what you told her in week 3.

"287 guests. 4 dietary options. Two hotel blocks with different cut-offs. My fiancé's aunt called me directly to ask about parking. I cried in the bathroom at work."
03 · Guest logistics

RSVPs, dietary, hotel blocks. While you sleep.

Rae sends the invitations, chases the RSVPs, collects dietary preferences, assigns hotel blocks, and sends day-of WhatsApp updates. You don't chase 287 people across email and Instagram DMs. She does.

"Photographer went silent a week before and showed up late. Florist swapped half the flowers without asking because she thought it'd 'look better.' My day-of coordinator had never met the vendors. I spent cocktail hour on the phone."
04 · Day-of preparation

Rae writes the timeline. Your coordinator runs it.

Two weeks before the wedding, Rae assembles the full day-of brief. Every vendor contact, every family preference, every "make sure Auntie sits with the cousins." Your coordinator arrives already briefed.

You
I keep getting pulled into florals. Is that what I should be on right now?
Rae · 8:15 PM
Not yet — florals don't block anything, so they can wait. The one decision gating everything else is your venue: your date, guest count, and timeline all depend on it, and it's still open. Let's lock that first. Want to look at venues tonight?
You
yes — 7pm.
Rae · 8:16 PM
Done — three venues lined up for 7, with dates, capacity, and pricing side by side. Once you pick one, photographer and florals can run in parallel — they don't depend on each other.
When you're ready for Rae to actually do the work (email vendors, chase quotes, manage RSVPs, run the day), that's $499.
Day-of coordinator · add-on

Need a day-of coordinator? We've got that covered too.

Most day-of coordinators meet your wedding for the first time two weeks before. They learn your vendors, your family, your preferences in a panicked sprint, and things slip. Ours doesn't have to.

Rae has been tracking everything for 6 months. The coordinator who runs your day already knows your whole wedding.

From $3,000+ Varies by wedding size & complexity
Talk to a coordinator
What our coordinator already knows about your wedding:
  • Every vendor you booked, plus the ones you considered
  • Family dynamics. Who decides what, who needs looping in
  • The full timeline Rae built, with vendor arrivals and contacts
  • Every preference, allergy, and "make sure to" note from 6 months
  • Your budget context. Where to push back if a vendor tries to upsell
  • The aesthetic you've agreed to. What's in, what's out

Try Rae for your wedding.

Start free. Talk to Rae. Get a real plan. When you want her to do the work too, $499 covers everything from then to the day of.
