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!

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!

Simply the best!
We just got married on Nov 1st and the day/night was absolutely seamless thanks to RS Event Co. Everything went perfectly and it was truly one of the most wonderful days of my life. When I first started planning our wedding I didn’t think I would need a day-of wedding coordinator- until the months got closer and I realized how much work would actually go into making the day flow the way I envisioned it. We had heard of Raquel through a family friend, so I decided to give her a call. Raquel was personable, proactive and thought of everything I never even thought to consider. She helped us maneuver the months leading to our special day, checking in often and answering every random text. Whatever hiccups there might have been the day-of my husband and I didn’t notice because she was on top of even the smallest detail. We adored working with Raquel and her team. Our wedding was an absolute blast, which I owe to RS Event Co ensuring our vision was exactly what we wanted it to be. My only regret is not calling her sooner!!!!!!

Wedding Coordination
I would 10/10 recommend Raquel and her team at RS Event Co. to plan your next big event! I knew from our first meeting that I could put my trust in her to coordinate everything for the day of my wedding. From answering all of our questions throughout the planning process to coordinating with vendors month of, and handling the elements day of, she did an exceptional job. Her professionalism, organization, and friendliness put us at ease and we were able to enjoy a perfect day without worry. I could not stress enough that you definitely need at least day of coordination for your wedding, and Raquel is the one to provide that service to you! Thank you, Raquel!

Best event planner!!
Working with Raquel was truly one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. From our very first conversation, it was clear that she genuinely cared about bringing our vision to life—and she exceeded every expectation we had. Raquel was incredibly organized, detail-oriented, and calm under pressure. She kept everything running smoothly behind the scenes, allowing us to be fully present and enjoy every moment of our big day. She handled every vendor with professionalism, kept us on track with timelines, and always made herself available to answer questions or offer guidance. But beyond her expertise, it was Raquel’s warmth, kindness, and positive energy that made the entire planning process feel joyful instead of stressful. Our wedding was truly perfect, and that’s thanks in large part to Raquel. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your wedding as if it were her own, look no further—Raquel is the one. Thank you, Raquel, for making our day unforgettable. You are truly amazing!

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').
