I absolutely LOVED working with Aleetha and Tawanda for my hair and makeup! They are the most fun people to be around. They came to my house for my trial which made it so easy for me. They brought their happiness and joy in and set to work. The outcome was beautiful so my family and I asked them to do our hair and makeup for my wedding. This time, they came all the way to my mom's house. It was so nice not to have to be up and out of the house on the day of, and so nice to be at my mom's house for such a special occasion.

Rachael was everything we could hope for and more. We weren't thinking of hiring any type of planner but after thoroughly thinking and imagining how crazy the day-of would be, it only made sense to hire a day-of planner. Her bubbly personality and professionalism was the perfect fit for our wedding! She was patient, helpful, reliable, and a total problem solver with her awesome tool bag. She was able to quickly fix up exposed bra straps and a fallen tux button within minutes!
What we loved the most was that she worked WITH us and was super accommodating and flexible with regards to our timeline and our wants/needs for our special day. She also saved us by recommending a wonderful florist last minute. Our parents and our entire bridal party loved her attitude and personality and gave us glowing feedback on her. She has a knack for keeping people calm and "in the loop" despite all the day-of craziness. She is THE BEST vendor you could have on your wedding list. We would give 10 stars if we could. Thanks again Rachael!

Let me just tell the truth: my wedding was perfect because Rachael made it so! Rachael took care of every single last detail. We worked with Rachael for day-of-coordination, and I am so glad we did. We thought we had everything planned so perfectly, but Rachael just knows things. She knows that schedules are merely conditional promises, she knows that photographers are on a busy mission, and she knows that toddlers need time to get flower-girl ready. Rachael created a glorious, custom schedule and gave hard copies to everyone at the rehearsal dinner; this made all the difference in the world.
Even my Dad, who is such a creature of habit, knew exactly where to find his morning coffee, where to go to take the right pictures, and where to find the after-party all because of Rachael's efforts. Rachael helped me into my gown, helped the photos stay on time, and even became a hair stylist when my extensions gave me bad beehive vibes and turned it into a perfect little bun that stayed put as I danced the night away. Honestly, you need Rachael. Your event is going to be flawless, and she will be the reason why! Thank you so much, Rachael! Our day was a dream come true.

I am so happy to have had Rachael to fix all of the details at my wedding. I worked with her for months, and she helped me find stylists, a DJ, a photographer, and even get hotels set up for my out of town guests. The day of the wedding, she made sure everyone got where they needed to be on time. And since no wedding day would be complete without some drama, when my husband of only a few hours got overheated and had to lie down in the bridal suite for an hour, she made sure that the DJ kept the guests entertained and that the venue kept food and drink on schedule until we could come down for our first dance and enjoy the rest of the night. Without Glass Slipper, I would have been a mess. Rachael is a true professional!
