Meet Rachael! 💕⁠
⁠
She's the "R" in R&K! With 20 years experience as an event planner, Rachael always promised herself that she would follow the passion and not the paycheck. Her background is versatile, with experiences producing large scale weddings, social events, galas and corporate events. She has planned and executed events all over the world from Dubai to Hawaii, and for clients such as Office Depot, Apple, HP, Amazon, American Crew and Revlon. Her wedding clients have taken her from Philly, Maryland, Minnesota and all over DFW. ⁠
⁠
When she's not working to help make her clients BIG DAY absolutely perfect, she enjoys traveling the world (follow her adventures on @lattesvodkaandpassports), spending time with her hubby Brett, their two kiddos Sophie & Ryan, and her 10lb furry Pom sidekick, Tex.⁠
⁠
What is your hometown?⁠
**Philadelphia, PA, but have lived in Los Angeles, New Jersey, Minneapolis and Texas. Texas has been my home since 2012, and I've happily adopted the phrase "y'all!" with pride.⁠
⁠
What color makes you happy?⁠
**Emerald Green. It reminds me of my favorite movie, The Wizard of Oz.⁠
⁠
What are you currently drinking?⁠
**Deep Eddy's Ruby Red, with a splash of Sprite and a lime. It's my all time fav summer drink.⁠

Meet Karen! 💕⁠
⁠
She's the "K" in R&K! When it comes to event planning, Karen lives by the motto, "everything is bigger and better in Texas!" She brings her sales background to RKWE to help in negotiations with vendors and venues to get the best possible pricing for clients. Karen has a way of creating events that are personal and reflective of each couple, mirroring their taste and budget.⁠
⁠
Karen received her TWP in Wedding Planning from the American Association of Certified Wedding Planners, and is a member of AACWP and the Society of Wedding Planners DFW.⁠
⁠
In her spare time, Karen can be found acting in professional theater companies in Dallas. She can also be found drinking wine while building waaay too large balloon arches at midnight with Rachael! She is wife to Paul, and mom to her two kiddos Katherine & Rachel (yes, another Rachel!), and her 90 lb furry sidekick, Addie.⁠
⁠
Your by far favorite wedding moment?⁠
**The few minutes before the bride and her escort head down the aisle. Looking in her eyes and knowing all of our hard work is done, and this is the moment her beautiful journey begins. Precious.⁠
⁠
Where did you go to school?⁠
**Northwestern University in Chicago. I have a BS in Communications.⁠
⁠
Your quote to live by?⁠
**“Do it with Passion, or not at all.” - Unknown⁠

Meet Monica! 💕⁠
⁠
Monica is one of our lovely event staff here at RKWE since 2018 and we are always excited to have her on site. Creating wonderful event spaces that thrill our clients brings her a great sense of joy. She especially loves working with the floral set up and bringing a bride's vision to life. Her goal is to make sure clients are happy with even the smallest details in their event space. ⁠
⁠
When not working on weddings or corporate events, Monica is running her own custom wreath company, working at her church, and raising two wonderful kiddos with her husband. ⁠
⁠
Look for Monica on site at your wedding!⁠
