Weddings & Events by Raina

Experiencia fantástica: Blog for 2026 wedding Planning guide I thought how you broke down the budgeting aspect on how to plan your wedding was very helpful with someone who plans to get married soon. The timeline section was very helpful and gave me a good understanding how to look at these ideas and think them through. Just from reading your blog and seeing your work I would recommend.

Experiencia fantástica: We are from Liverpool, UK and got married in September at the John Seigenthaler Pedestrian Bridge in Nashville.

Experiencia fantástica: I would give Raina and her team 10 stars if I could. Raina made the planning very easy for me. She answered all the questions we asked and recommended vendors that made our wedding still the talk of the guests 2 weeks later. Everyone that attended our wedding still tells us it was a beautiful wedding. Everything looked great and well organized. Couldn't have done that without the help of Raina and her team. Raina is amazing and easy to work with. It was a pleasure having her as our wedding planner. Again ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Experiencia fantástica: Raina is a wonderful planner/coordinator! We were blessed to have her help and expertise in planning and organizing my daughter’s wedding. The bride and groom were residing out of state during the planning process but this was no obstacle for Raina. She helped us line up a great group of vendors. She was always quick to respond to any questions we had along the way and was truly a guiding light for us. Storms were forecasted the afternoon of the wedding. At one point I looked out the window from the bridal suite to find her covering the ceremony chairs in plastic to keep them dry. The weather caused some stressful moments and the need for some quick decisions on wedding day, but Raina and her team were wonderful and handled everything and everyone (including this emotional mother of the bride) with much grace and professionalism. I highly recommend Weddings and Events by Raina!

Experiencia fantástica: Raina and her team deliver a delightful presence at each event we have had the pleasure of working together. The attention to detail, ability to pivot and the perpetual positive energy is always a calming presence that is very much needed during a wedding or important event. We always highly recommend Raina!

Her team is just as amazing, and it was an easy decision to have her plan our wedding! She has cultivated great connections with her vendors and was prepared for every scenario during the planning process and on our big day. I never doubted that if I had a question, Raina would have an answer! Highly recommend Raina and her team!

Experiencia fantástica: I have photographed a couple weddings when Raina was the planner and she was amazing to work with! Such a bright light and lots of attention to detail!

Experiencia fantástica: Hands down the absolute BEST. In a world where lgbtq+ couples can be turned down by many things when it comes to weddings, Raina was the bright star that made our wedding in 2017 possible and perfection. Her energy, her attention to detail, and positivity made our wedding planning and day of flawless. Can’t recommend her enough.

Experiencia fantástica: We hired Raina to help with day-of coordination for our parents’ 50th anniversary party at The Bedford. From the moment we started working together, it was apparent she was a very experienced and capable planner with great connections into the vendor community. We appreciated her input throughout the process and attention to detail. On the day of the event, it was great to know that we could just enjoy it all while she and her team took care of things in the background. We would definitely recommend Raina for events both big and small!

Experiencia fantástica: Raina is, hands down, the best wedding coordinator. Her attention to detail is top notch. I did not feel an ounce of stress because she took care of literally everything. She was there for any questions, and made sure everyone was taken care of. Her kindness and love for her job is evident in everything she does. She even took my shoes off and placed socks and different shoes on my feet. She made me feel like Cinderella!

Experiencia fantástica: Raina does a fantastic job working with her brides to get their vision to reality start to finish! She has patience and knowledge in every way! We love working with her!!!

Experiencia fantástica: Raina van Setter was the best wedding planner imaginable!! She really paid attention to every single detail and made our day the most magical day, we wouldn’t have had the amazing wedding without her and her fantastic team! We used every single vendor she recommended and we were blown away by how perfect everything was. I seriously cannot thank her and her team enough for the level of expertise they provided for us. She was available 24/7, always responding promptly, and made the wedding planning experience so smooth and stress free for us. I would recommend her to anyone I know who’s looking for a wedding planner because she was truly incredible!!

Experiencia fantástica: I had a bad planner at first and actually hired Raina after I let the other go, so what close to our wedding. Raina took reigns and took care of everything. She was what I originally wanted and needed. She helped me through every step of the way and was an amazing communicator with all the vendors, etc. Not to mention she’s so sweet! She eased my worries and fears! So thankful that I found her and definitely reccomend her to anyone!

Experiencia fantástica: My husband and I were married September 23, 2023 in an intimate backyard wedding. Raina and her team were so amazing! They made my our wedding day so special and kept everyone calm! It can kind of stressful planning and executing a wedding, but I feel like it went along perfectly! Thank you Raina, Jillian and Alexis for all you do!

Experiencia fantástica: Raina guided me every step of the way through our wedding planning. Our guests emphatically stated that our wedding was one of the best weddings they ever attended. It was beautiful and very well coordinated. Her team took care of the wedding party the day of and made our day worry free! I highly recommend Weddings and Events by Raina!

Experiencia fantástica: Meeting Raina was amazing,and decided to make her my wedding planner I am looking forward to having my dream wedding, because she already has a vision of this beautiful wedding,I can not wait to start this with she was the sweetest, kindest person that I would love to have apart of my big day

Experiencia fantástica: Thanks Raina, loved the work done by you and your staff. Everyone loved the way you managed the event on 8th april 2023. Wishing you more success in your business. Prem and Usha

Experiencia fantástica: We cannot say enough great words about Raina and her team! From start to finish, Raina was wonderful, pleasant and easy to work with. She was a calming influence throughout the whole process. As the mother of the bride, I could not have done this without her! Every detail was attended to, and I was able to focus on enjoying our daughter's wedding day without one worry. We live in Texas, and the wedding was three states away in Tennessee. During the months and weeks leading up to the wedding, Raina helped me to navigate planning from long distance, connecting us to the best vendors and helping us to create the wedding our daughter and her (now) husband dreamed of. The day of the wedding, every last detail was planned to the minute, giving us all peace of mind that everything was in place so we were able to enjoy the most perfect day. My advice to anyone planning a wedding: hire a wedding coordinator! My biggest advice to anyone planning a wedding in the Nashville area...HIRE RAINA VAN SETTER, WEDDINGS AND EVENTS BY RAINA (unless we decide to kidnap her and bring her to Texas)! You will be so happy you did!

Experiencia fantástica: Weddings & Events by Raina was absolutely fantastic our wedding day and planning process was great with the knowledge and experience both Raina and her team have when it comes to planning and executing a bride's vision. Raina was responsive and knowledgeable I felt I could ask her any question and get the answer or she would find it out for me.

Experiencia fantástica: Should you hire a wedding coordinator? YES! Should you hire Raina? YES! Our daughter’s wedding was in June and her wedding was PERFECTION! We have Raina to thank for that! She took care of so many things we would have never thought of on our own. She kept us on schedule which is extremely important! Raina’s vendor recommendations were so helpful and she has a great working relationship with all of them! She is incredibly timely with her responses to texts, emails, and phone calls and she is extremely organized! I’m not sure when she sleeps! Her “Day of Wedding” service is so much more than day of. Additionally, Raina’s staff was amazing. There will always be little things that happen on the wedding day, but if you hire Raina, that’s all they will be…just little things that no one even notices. Raina allowed me and my family to just sit back and enjoy the most beautiful day with our daughter, her new husband and all of our family and friends. Those are memories that last forever! So if this is what you are looking for…Raina is your person!

Experiencia fantástica: I am so grateful I was able to get Raina to help plan my wedding. She was always professional, knowledgeable, prepared, easily accessible and went above and beyond to ensure my wedding day was everything I dreamed of. I was pleasantly surprised with all of her help especially the day of from helping bustle my dress, taking videos, setting out bug spray for guests, and more. If you want less stress and more peace of mind during the planning process and on your wedding day, let Raina and her team help. I highly recommend!

Experiencia fantástica: I was so excited when my daughter got married. I instinctly knew who I would ask to be my planner. I have worked with Raina so many times and she always takes such great care of her clients. This was really the first time I'd ever hired a planner, although I work with planners all the time. This was a very important night for my daughter and Raina and her team took care everything. They did it with a smile. Everything was just seamless. Quality. I've seen her do this time and time again with other clients and she did with me and my daughter. You'd be very very lucky to have her as your planner.

Experiencia fantástica: It's always a pleasure to have the opportunity to be a vendor for Raina and her team. Communication and coordination is always flawless. They value your product and expertise and uphold it when working with their clients, which is a huge asset from a vendor's standpoint. Highly recommend!

Experiencia fantástica: Raina is the most creative and caring events coordinator I have ever seen in all the years of being involved with the wedding business myself! She truly cares about her clients dreams and has developed friendships while doing what she loves! If you need a day coordinator, officiant, or someone with years of experience to create a stress free event, Raina will work her magic and make it happen!

Experiencia fantástica: Raina and her team were a pleasure to work with, right from the very start. From the initial consult, Raina helped to capture my perfect wedding day. While I knew the general idea of what I wanted my ceremony and reception to be like, Raina helped hook me up with vendors that would create the vision that I desired. Every vendor she recommended was a dream, too! Other than being available almost any time of day, Raina was a wealth of knowledge and the team that she brought along on the day of the wedding were amazing, too. I didn’t have to worry about a single thing on the morning – Raina handled all the vendors, setting out last minute décor, helping the gentleman pin their boutonnieres, helped me with my dress, and so much more. Anita even held my hand when I was nervous during the ceremony line up. Literally, all I had to worry about was looking nice and enjoying the morning with my family and friends. Whether you hire Raina and her team on just a day of basis or for a more, in depth wedding planning, I’m positive you can’t go wrong with her and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her services to future brides to be!

Experiencia fantástica: Raina - The Doer in Chief! We hired Raina and her team 30 days out for day-of planning/coordination of our wedding. We thought we could do everything ourselves but it became overwhelming and clear we needed help. Raina quickly stepped in as the go-to problem solver from our first call all the way through the wedding. She established contacts with all vendors and key members of the wedding party. She developed an impressive, detailed schedule for vendors, which helped make the wedding day go so smoothly. She also calmed us down anytime we had an issue arise. We immediately felt relief having her in charge of the team. She was professional, prepared, organized, and caring during every interaction. Our vendors complimented her repeatedly. She also had excellent contacts for last-minute needs and was able to facilitate that for us, including limo service and calligraphy services. Raina and her team ran the wedding perfectly - in charge but never rude to the wedding party or the vendors. She came with a contingency plan and emergency kit to make sure we had everything we needed. Our wedding would not have been a success without Raina and her lovely team. We developed a connection with her and would work with her again for any special events. In addition, it was so important to us to find someone who recognizes that love is love. Raina's site made it clear that she does not discriminate and all clients are welcome. That was especially comforting to us, since it is not always the case in the South. We would highly recommend Raina for a wedding or any event. Our only regret is that we didn't bring her in sooner. Thank you Raina for truly being a miracle worker - you are the best!

Experiencia fantástica: Raina did a wonderful job in helping to plan and carry out a big birthday party I recently had. She listened to what I wanted and made it all happen exactly as I envisioned it. She was on top of everything from the planning stages to the clean-up after the party. I can't imagine doing it without her help. I can't say enough about how good she and her staff were.

Experiencia fantástica: Raina and her team made the best day ever, even better than I could have ever imagined. My dream wedding was brought to life, and we could have not done it without Weddings and Events by Raina.

Experiencia fantástica: Trust me when I say this after talking to many wedding planners - Raina is the seasoned planner you need for your event. She knows her stuff and she knows the drill. She embraced our vision and supported us throughout the whole ride. Our wedding was not Raina's first rodeo and we knew we were in EXCELLENT hands. She and her team were quick on their feet, swift to react, and cool and collected the whole time. What more can you ask for in a planner? I know there is only one person I will call for event planning in the future. Thank you Raina!

Experiencia fantástica: Raina was our wedding planner/organizer 3 years ago. She made our wedding possible in a short span of time. She only had 3 weeks to get everything ready and she made it happen. We are really thankful for her.

Experiencia fantástica: Dingo Entertainment had the opportunity to work with Raina for a recent wedding, and she was amazingly efficient and on point all throughout the process. Timely, pertinent, and COMPLETE communication made this wedding a true treat. We definitely would recommend Wedding Events By Raina to any couple seeking a coordinator who will keep everything on track for a stress free wedding.

Experiencia fantástica: We've worked with Raina and her staff on several occasions. Pleasant, professional, and precise are the words we'd use to describe the experience! Second to none!

Experiencia fantástica: I would highly recommend Raina. Your wedding day will be perfect and make beautiful memories if you hire Raina.

Experiencia fantástica: Raina is a very skilled wedding planner, super-organized and extremely responsive. Her attention to detail and relationship with great partners in the business will make your event planning effortless. Highly recommended!

Experiencia fantástica: I have known Raina for over 3 years now and there is NO ONE I would rather handle all of my events but HER!! She is professional, organized, friendly and brings a ton of experience to the table. I HIGHLY recommend her and her services!!

Experiencia fantástica: Raina is absolutely wonderful to work with! Whenever we have an event with her, we know that it will go smoothly and without any issues. She's professional and organized, and also has such a way with people. On top of that, she's friendly, professional and extremely experienced! So, couples out there looking for a planner, please know you will be in the best hands with Raina!!!

Experiencia fantástica: I work with a lot of wedding planners and Raina is the cream of the crop. Raina truly has a gift for communicating, organizing, planning- all the things you want and need in someone you're entrusting such an important day to.

Experiencia fantástica: Love working with Events by Raina! As a videographer we have to do a lot of multitasking and be ready for every event that occurs because you only have one shot to capture it the first time. Weddings & Events by Raina have such an organized schedule and communicate excellently with us to ensure we are a step ahead throughout the wedding day. I would highly recommend Weddings & Events by Raina!!!

Experiencia fantástica: I cannot give enough credit to how well the wedding went because of Raina and her team. I just do not believe I could have pulled it off without her. She is a superhero! - She is there to not only plan, but listen to you. Not just about the wedding day, but the stress of it, family problems, gives advice.... I don't even know what I will plan to have for dinner tonight without asking Raina what she thinks! - She knows EVERYONE in the area. She has them on speed dial it seems. Often I got responses much quicker asking her a question instead of the vendor directly. She also paired me with the absolute best vendors for me and my wedding, when I asked for her opinion on who to hire. - She responds quickly, and if there is a rare case she can't get back to you right away, she will schedule something asap. - She is in constant contact with vendors so you. don't. have. to. Period. - She already knows what you will forget to bring the day of the wedding (no matter how many times you write it down to remember) and has it ready for you. I could honestly go on and on. She made my wedding so special, and it was genuine. She truly cares about you and your wedding. It is about making a wedding that suits you, she never pushes things on you. She wants your wedding to be as good of a match as your soon-to-be partner. I would hire her and her team again in a heart beat, and highly recommend you do too!!

Experiencia fantástica: Raina is amazing! She is organized, highly detailed oriented and highly responsive! She will make any of your wildest dreams come true! What you’ve dreamt of your whole life she knows how to make come to fruition. Hands down one of the best planner in Tennessee! If you want a stress free day, look no further!

Experiencia fantástica: Raina was amazing helping me plan my day from a location setting, recommending a florist and a photographer to a limo driver. Couldn’t ask for a nicer more professional person. She was very responsive. I never waited very long for an answer at most it was 15-20 min and she would apologize and explain she was driving or the one time doing a micro wedding. So things that are very understandable and an apology not even necessary. I would highly recommend her as your planner and for all of your wedding needs. She is fantastic

Experiencia fantástica: Raina wrote a beautiful ceremony for our special day. And we are so grateful for willingness to be there during this pandemic. I would recommend her services in a heartbeat.

Experiencia fantástica: We booked Raina as our month of coordinator for our wedding on 10/19 at Duck Pond Farm in Mount Juliet. I knew the very first thing I wanted to book after I got engaged was a wedding planner. Raina to the rescue! Raina was absolutely incredible and I am so happy I found her through reviews online. She had fantastic recommendations for other vendors too! I had no idea how nice it would be to have vendors that knew each other and had done several weddings together (not to mention got along so well), but it was great! I am a self admitted perfectionist and Raina made sure I could relax both leading up to the wedding and especially the day of because she had everything covered (even things I didn't think of like an umbrella). I cannot even begin to explain how much stress was lifted off of me the day of the wedding knowing that Raina and her team were there. They set up and tore down everything for the ceremony and reception and coordinated with all vendors to ensure delivery was on time. Her team fluffed and bustled my dress whenever needed (and let me tell you my train was huge so it was a job!). They even folded the napkins in the most beautiful way! Every little detail was perfect! You will love Raina & her team!

Experiencia fantástica: The BEST wedding planner around! Raina is an absolute joy to work with and just be around. She is bubbly and upbeat and always, always happy to help no matter if you hire her for a week or a whole year. The planning process was made easier knowing that if I had a question it would be answered quickly and efficiently. All day on my wedding day I knew there was nothing I had to worry about because I trusted her and her team to make sure everything went as it was supposed to. She is hands down the best choice of wedding planner as she is always on top of things and does it with a genuine, infectious smile! Hire her! You won't regret it!

Experiencia fantástica: Always a joy to work with! Highly recommended her for your planning needs!

Experiencia fantástica: Raina and her team are absolutely amazing! Mariah helped make my wedding a complete success along with Anita. They were so attentive and helpful at all times. They even went the extra mile to make sure my husband and I had the most perfect wedding. I would recommend this team to anyone that wants a perfect wedding that will run smoothly. Thank you so much!!!

Experiencia fantástica: Raina was an amazing wedding coordinator! I would highly recommend her services! Very professional, always kind and considerate, made GREAT recommendations for vendors and services. Always went above and beyond for us. Best money we spent on the wedding

Experiencia fantástica: I loved working with Raina!! I live in Houston, but Nashville is my hometown and I got married in Nashville. Planning a wedding from afar is difficult. I started the process with minimal guidance... by the time I met Raina, I had already selected my caterer, photographer, videographer, wedding and reception venue, and DJ. I sure wish I had known her before doing all of that. She would have made things much easier and less stressful. Raina was a referral from my florist. I knew Raina was exactly who I wanted to work with 5 minutes into the conversation. She has a calming spirit and is very resourceful. She quickly helped me find the rest of my vendors, and was always quick to pick up the phone or text whether she was answering questions I had or just checking in with me to make sure I was still sane. Lol Raina is thoroughly prepared. She takes thorough notes and is always traveling with her binder so she can accurately address any concerns almost immediately. Raina is also very talented. My step-dad passed and I wanted to do a tribute to him by having his blue handkerchief embroidered. The seamstress in Houston did it initially and did a horrible job. Three days before the wedding, I gave it to Raina and she did an amazing job with it overnight! The entire ceremony started on time, ran smoothly, and every detail we requested, Raina and her crew were able to implement flawlessly. It was an amazing experience and Raina was an incredible planner. My husband and I highly recommend her!

Experiencia fantástica: Without a doubt, contracting the services of Wedding & Events by Raina was the smartest decision we could have made for our daughters wedding. My daughter lives in middle Tennessee and we live on the west coast. Raina had offered the services of her lead planner Mariah Johnson. She made everything so easy. Mariah returned every call or email promptly and more than fulfilled every promise and commitment. On the day of the wedding Mariha and her staff work tirelessly until every last thing was pack up and off the wedding venue. She worked well with my daughter and my wife. She had endless referrals and helpful suggestions. Mariah and her team worked well with the other contractors and reviewed all contracts before the event. In a nutshell she made the wedding day easy and stress free for what I would consider a very reasonable price. I would highly recommend Mariah Johnson and Weddings & Events by Raina. Respectfully Brian Gelet Father of the Bride

Experiencia fantástica: Raina and her amazing staff were involved, enthusiastic, and prepared since the day we engaged Weddings & Events by Raina. Raina’s excitement and attention to detail was clear within the first few minutes of our meeting, and her experience put much of my anxiety at ease. Our Sikh Indian wedding necessitated coordination across out of town vendors, last minute changes, and numerous course corrections. Her staff, Anita, Mariah, and Jennifer, were eager to please and stepped in to facilitate communication and last minute changes. From behind the scenes, our beautiful, complex wedding incurred the challenges of constrained venue staff and some minor printing mishaps. Our guests never knew the difference, and my groom and I only found out after the fact. You’re in good hands with these seasoned, organized experts.

Experiencia fantástica: Raina is a 10 out of 10 all the way around. As a vendor that works with her, she is top notch on communication and detail. She comes highly recommended for both vendors and couples alike!

Experiencia fantástica: Raina and her team could not have been more help for our big day. We are so thrilled with the way everything turned out (which meant we could simply ENJOY our wedding day and not worry about the small stuff!). We would highly recommend her and her team for all your wedding needs!

Experiencia fantástica: Raina ran out Locally Owned Awards program. Every detail was covered from start to finish. She thought of everything. If an issue arose, she handled it with such grace and her big beautiful smile! I cannot imagine running an event that size without her!

Experiencia fantástica: I’ve had the opportunity to work with Raina a few times for different events, and she’s fantastic! Very detailed, and pleasant. She makes everything look effortless and perfect

Experiencia fantástica: Raina and her team are wonderful! I love working with her as a photographer!

Experiencia fantástica: I am a fashion designer and have worked with Raina for years and she is a consummate professional and full of energy and great ideas!

Experiencia fantástica: I got to work with Raina and her team as a DJ at one of the wedding she coordinated. In our industry not all coordinators are pleasant to work with but Raina was a treat for me. She was helpful, attentive to detail, had a positive attitude and built a solid rapport with me and the other vendors. I would highly reccomend her for your next event.

Experiencia fantástica: Working with Raina is a pleasure! She is a pro wedding planner/coordinator and so down to earth that everything falls into place when you're working a wedding with her. She is a delight!

Experiencia fantástica: We love working with Raina and her team! They are incredibly organized and professional and Raina herself is the sweetest woman in the industry! All of the weddings we have worked with her have been nothing but smooth, stress-free and beautiful.

Experiencia fantástica: Raina and her team are great! Very professional, knowledgeable, organized and committed to making wedding days extra special! Very responsive to customer needs and fun to work with!!

Experiencia fantástica: You will NOT find a more organized, professional, hard working, knowledgeable, connected or prepared event planner than Raina and her staff. And as important as each and every one of those adjectives is to have in someone planning your special event, the best and most important term to describe Raina and her team is caring. Your dream for your event is her number one priority.

Experiencia fantástica: Raina and her team are great! I loved working with them when we hosted a wedding that she planned and executed. She was calm, organized, on time and had every detail coordinated and planned to help things run smoothly. Her personality is perfect for this work, and I hope to work with her again in the future.

Experiencia fantástica: Raina is the best! She's got great presence and energy. She's super organized and professional. And she's just a great human being!

Experiencia fantástica: Always glad to see Raina at our venue, Wild Turkey Ranch, because we know the bride will be taken care of and the event will run smoothly!

Experiencia fantástica: Raina will quickly be the easiest and best choice you'll make when planning your wedding or event. She's incredibly helpful and makes the decision making process way less stressful!

Experiencia fantástica: I’ve known Raina for many years. We met working on an event together and not only did she never let me down but she continually went above and beyond to see that everything went smoothly. Her team and her business have continued to grow all because of that same work ethic and dedication to meet and exceed the expectations of her clientele. I have and will continue to reccomend Raina and her team.

Experiencia fantástica: Outstanding Person! Highly recommend her work

Experiencia fantástica: RAINA is absolutely THE BEST! Raina & her team are great! Their attention to detail and can-do attitude is the perfect recipe for PERFECT EVENTS! We loved working with them and look forward to events in the future.

Experiencia fantástica: I have had the incredible fortune of being able to work with Raina of Weddings and Events by Raina.on two occasions. I was hesitant to ask someone for help... with my daughter’s reception... because after all... I was super do everything myself mom! ( dramatic pause with sound of cape in the wind) ..and who better to put something together for my daughter?.... but I got schooled...Raina asked a lot of questions.... a lot....... it made my brain hurt... but it also quickly realized that I had grossly underestimated the massive amount of details involved in having a successful event... I have always been a fly by the seat of my pants ... and I always managed to mostly pull things off in an almost Bohemian manner....by relying (sometimes selfishly) favors from friends and family and a flurry of chaotic extreme activity... that wasn’t so smooth..but worked.... most of the time.... ( there are stories) But my daughter had met an amazing man whom I already loved like a son..and she had taken great care planning her destination wedding ( college job was wedding coordinator for a local venue). There was so much I wanted to do for them... but couldn’t... I wanted very much for this reception to be without the stress ... I wanted to spend time on the special day experiencing.and sharing not running around putting out fires sparked by a lack of attention to detail. There were planning meetings and a lot more questions... and spreadsheets and homework.. And although my head was still hurting... my daughter was very relived... she was relived to know it was being taken care of ... and that there would be no surprises ( my past efforts of family event management were well seasoned with plan Bs, surprises and redos) What we could not have anticipated was that my mother would suddenly become an invalid mentality and physically due to a terrible decision by her dr...and our family fell into a spiraling dark hole that weeks later would end in her death, in the last weeks before the wedding...in addition I contracted a debilitating form of Pneumonia from the nursing home where she was being cared for, my ability to function was frozen in grief.... and smothered in sickness ( I eventually ended up at the center for lung disease) but Raina stepped in and carried on... I was walking around in an anxiety charged, grief constructed, guilt filled cloud. I really had little to no idea how the event would play out...the details were fuzzy.. I had forgotten to get my hair and nails done.. dint buy an outfit...( smells like disaster soup , right.) but folks I walked into that event like a guest of honor.. Raina and her team had taken care of everything! It was beautiful and perfect down the tiniest details and a memorial table with a beautiful tribute to my mother, the grooms mother, and my son . I was impressed at sheer simple elegance of every thing ... then I forgot about the devil in the details...and emersed my self in the celebration... I fully experienced the day instead of fretting and stressing over everything....no cat herding for me.. Instead I have beautiful healing memories of my daughter’s big day... as do the members of our still raw with grieving family who shared the day.... I fear that considering the unexpected life events ;if I hadn’t asked for help..it may have never happened at all and it I had managed to pull it off ... the struggle and stress of creating a perfect day would have consumed me, if not landed me in the hospital. Or dumped the huge chore on an undeserving friend or family member.. The highlights of the day was seeing the joy on my daughter’s face...seeing my family bond and smile and laugh for the first time in what seemed like forever... and when it was over being able to walkout ...like a guest... (boss).. knowing all the clean up and vendor management was taken care of... We could not have done it without you Raina! Worth every penny and more!

Experiencia fantástica: Raina and her team are nothing short of miracle workers! They plan for every detail, but are ready for every surprise. The benefit and value of hiring a professional like Raina is that nobody but her team knows when something goes wrong. It is handled in the blink of an eye with no accompanying drama. Her taste and talent are also second to none. If you want “extraordinary,” she should be first person you call. She will ensure everything falls perfectly into place after that. What more could a bride want for planning the most special day in her life??

Experiencia fantástica: Raina did the most amazing job in coordinating a huge event for me. It was the first year of the event, and now, thanks to her leadership and professionalism we are preparing for our third year. There is so much that goes into making an event or a wedding go off without a hitch and Reina does not miss a trick!

Experiencia fantástica: I've worked several times with Raina. She's helped me put together events that require organization, details and professionalism. Raina listened to our thoughts and needs. With her personal touch, we were always successful.

Experiencia fantástica: Raina is just simply Fantastic! She single handedly saved our wedding at last minute (literally 3 weeks before wedding date) after our first planner fell through. Our wedding was not simple feat as we had large bridal party & several hundred guests, not to mention this was her 1st indian wedding & she & her team Did an amazing job. We highly recommend her for whatever event planning you have in mind, as she comes through 100% with smile & best attitude you can find.

Experiencia fantástica: Raina is fabulous to work with, she’s professional, she listens, she aimes to please and does!

Experiencia fantástica: I have attended several events that Raina & her team have planned - she is great at what she does and customizes each event to the hosts' preferences and personalities. Her unique touches are what make her parties unforgettable! I only wish I had known her when I got married. I'm all about DIY and we did everything ourselves but hiring Raina would have made a very stressful process SO much easier.

Experiencia fantástica: Raina is organized, warm, professional, and an expert at removing stress! She takes a hands-on approach and orchestrates events like clockwork.

Experiencia fantástica: I've attended TWO Events By Raina, and they were both very tastefully, professionally and beautifully conducted. One was a local awards show, Light Up Local, celebrating local businesses and their achievements attended by some 200 folks. The second was a grand opening of Hello Beautiful, a Ladies Boutique new to Murfreesboro, attended by some 70 folks. Both events went off without a hitch and were magnificently presented. I would DEFINITELY use Weddings & Events By Raina to coordinate my next event, and if God willing, especially my wedding. FIVE STARS!

Experiencia fantástica: Delightful! Creative! Amazing! You will be thrilled!

Experiencia fantástica: Raina is fantastic at what she does and I highly recommend her for your wedding and events! You won’t be disappointed

Experiencia fantástica: I've had the awesome opportunity of working with this team. I reside in Chattanooga however anytime I get the opportunity to travel to Murfreesboro to work with them I'm always looking forward to it. Their professionalism is top-notch and definitely belongs and a bigger city. Raina has a contagious personality and the energy to work with any Bride. Looking forward to doing more work in 2019!!!

Experiencia fantástica: A few weeks before our wedding after a year and a half of planning we parted ways with our wedding planner. We were introduced to Raina who saved our wedding day. She is amazing as a planner and just a person in general. We love her and you will never find anyone better than Raina to take the BEST care of you.

Experiencia fantástica: Raina and her team are AMAZING! Raina attends to EVERY detail and is incredibly hard working. I recommends her with full confidence!

Experiencia fantástica: Raina is one of the most knowledgeable people around in this category. She was able to take our small budget and turn it into an amazing event that seemed like it would have cost twice as much as it did. I recommend her often to anyone that will listen.
