“Everybody needs a Raquel for their wedding! We had Raquel for 3 month coordination, and words alone cannot express how organized, professional, and seamless Raquel made the three months leading up to and on wedding day. Prior to the start of our coordination with Raquel, she provided us with a very organized, detailed spreadsheet to guide us through the wedding planning process. Raquel was the organization and detail behind every idea I brought to the table and helped to make our vision a reality!

Raquel was my coordinator but doubled as my wedding therapist throughout the three months! Any wedding related question we had, Raquel was always there with a very thoughtful and speedy email response. Starting at 5pm the night before our wedding when she led us through our mini walk-through, to walking down the aisle, I felt completely reassured everything would go as smoothly as possible due to Raquel’s expertise!

Raquel and her team are the perfect blend of professionalism and warmth that made our day feel seamless. Her team worked effortlessly behind the scenes on the day of our wedding (even running back to my apartment to pick up forgotten ceremony programs and doing so without me even knowing!). They worked their magic and allowed my husband and I to be the guests of honor rather than the hosts. I wouldn’t have made it through the final stretch of wedding planning without Raquel and her team. I highly recommend Raquel’s coordination; she made our day effortless and unforgettable! If you are lucky enough to have Raquel be a part of your wedding era, you will not regret it. Thank you for everything Raquel, we couldn’t have done it without you!”

Raquel and her team are all-stars. With her full service planning, she asked us for our rough ideas for the wedding and connected us with vendors we meshed with perfectly with to turn those rough ideas into a stunning reality. My wife and I cannot say enough good things about Raquel. She kept us on track and was incredibly organized throughout the planning process and clearly communicated all of her expectations to us at each meeting. She was immediately supportive of our non-traditional ideas. We didn't have a single worry during our wedding because we knew Raquel was taking care of everything, and had the whole wedding planned to the minute. She shielded us from the stress of the day, and this allowed us to feel like guests at our wedding rather than stressed out hosts. She was genuinely the first person we hugged after our ceremony was over, because we were so grateful to her and she was so integral to the success of the evening. We cannot imagine our wedding without her!

“Of the 17+ vendors we worked with in our multi-day wedding celebrations, Raquel was the MVP. I have never left a written review online but I felt compelled to do so because of how good of job Raquel did for us. To start, at the beginning of our wedding planning process, we made it our goal for us to be fully present during our events and for the process to not overwhelm us. Raquel was the single biggest factor in making those wishes come true. Weeks before the wedding we were feeling relaxed and ready-to-go. We were so prepared that we working regular work days right up to the start of our wedding weekend. Raquel is an excellent communicator. She responds quickly via email and text and ensured that our vendors were on-point and ready-to-deliver every step of the way. She is organized and comes well-prepared - she consistently showed-up to all of our meetings a few minutes early. Lastly, without a doubt, Raquel helped us stretch the value of our dollar by optimizing the use of the venue spaces and by helping us avoid unnecessary expenses on many occasions. We highly, highly, highly recommend working with Raquel!”

“We could not be more thankful to Raquel and her all-star team for her exceptional month-of-coordination of our wedding in September. We were hosting a multi-venue, dance floor-centric, love-letter-to-Brooklyn celebration and Raquel understood our vision and made sure our day was beautiful, flawless, and just SO damn fun. It was no easy task with the mix of vendors and DIY/friend supported aspects of our wedding, not to mention making our multilingual and ESL guests feel welcome, but Raquel killed it. She was super attentive during our walk through and subsequent timeline planning, asking us questions and giving us expert advice on the flow of the day. When the day came, we felt completely supported and taken care of. She adapted the flow of events to our mood, like giving us a moment alone from our guests when we needed it, corralling family for some last minute adds to our photo shot list, and letting us stay with our guests and forego some of the formalities we no longer felt like doing. We could go on and on. Just Say Yes was among the best decisions we made for our wedding and we cannot recommend Raquel enough!”

“Oh Raquel.. where can I even begin? An absolute gem, let’s start there. Raquel came recommended by our venue, Dobbin St, and her intimate knowledge of the venue and their team was invaluable as we moved forward with her services. Hiring Just Say Yes NY was one of the best decisions we could have made regarding our wedding day. Raquel’s extensive experience, get-it-done attitude, and connections in the NYC area truly make her a powerhouse resource. Raquel also provided us recommendations for a florist within our budget, who also did phenomenal work. She had also previously worked with our caterer, which made things even more smooth than we could have imagined. Raquel went above and beyond any expectations we could have had. We had no idea what all wedding planning entailed. We used the partial planning and day of coordination services and we would have done full planning had we known better! These services are absolutely essential for a stress-free wedding day! Raquel is extremely knowledgeable and organized with shared Google documents, making keeping up with the never-ending wedding tasks a breeze. She was there for whatever questions we had during the process; hosting a wedding can be very daunting and it was a relief to have Raquel there to walk us through. Where Raquel really shined was during the creation of the wedding day timeline, it really is the single most important thing on a day that seemingly flies by! Raquel and her assistant were by our sides throughout our day, while simultaneously taking care of absolutely everything, including managing the various vendors and wedding guests, behind the scenes. The day of execution did not disappoint and we have Raquel and her team at Just Say Yes NY to thank for the best day of our lives!”
