Salt and Scent Wedding and Events - Bristol

Rachel is utterly brilliant. If you are looking for someone who will take the reigns as much as YOU need them to (in our case this was a lot), will genuinely listen to every single one of your requests and ideas and help you bring your dream wedding to life in an incredibly organised and calm manner, then this is your planner.
Rachel has a wonderful aura about her. She is very direct and to the point which is exactly what you need when you are wedding or party planning however, she has the patience of a saint and will work with you to ensure you are getting what you want and need in the most tasteful way and has some incredibly recommendations and relationships with some very talented suppliers.
We really would not have had the wedding of our absolute dreams if it wasn’t for Rachel. She was with us throughout the whole of our Wedding (we had a 3 day event) and she made everything seamless and worked her absolute socks off, looking incredible whilst doing it. We had a few mishaps throughout the process, and we would never have known as she had sorted them out seamlessly before we even knew what had happened!
Rachel is superb at keeping you on track and accountable for your required input and actions and will always communicate with you in the way that works best for you. Everyone who attended our wedding said it was the best wedding they had ever been to and highlighted how incredibly smooth everything went and how brilliantly organised the whole thing was.
Rachel was also on hand to get me into my dress on the day (photo’s attached) whilst giving me a pep talk and carry my train too, she is just the nicest most genuine person.
We genuinely adore Rachel and I truly do consider her a great friend of ours. Thank you, Rachel!

We live in the U.S. and were planning a wedding in the very beautiful but very distant Cotswolds. One of the first and best decisions we made after we chose our venue was hiring Rachel. Her knowledge of the absolute best of the best local vendors was invaluable in creating the most magical day of our lives. Rachel's taste level is exceptional but, having said that, what's even more impressive is she took a jumbled collection of ideas of what we like (color! fun! gold! rustic...but elevated!) and expertly focused our thoughts into an unbelievable and gorgeous backdrop for our big day. We couldn't have been happier and we got so many compliments from everyone on the signage, the flowers, the decor, the styling, the furniture and games, the general setting and ambience - and Rachel had a hand in creating it all. Working with her was really effortless, and that's saying something considering our 8-hour time difference. She always made herself available to meet if we needed to hash things out or answer lots and lots of emails. She has an incredibly calming and reassuring presence, is perfectly organized and across everything. I mean it when I say there was not a SINGLE hitch of any kind on the wedding day - everything looked incredible, was executed incredibly and what felt to me like effortlessly but surely there was a ton of effort to make it all feel so seamless. It was truly incredible having Rachel to help create and bring to life our big day. If you're considering hiring Rachel, take this as a sign to do it now!

Rachel is AMAZING – don’t hesitate to book her! She was our wedding coordinator , and I honestly don’t know what we would have done without her. My wedding took place at my parents’ house, which isn’t a conventional wedding venue, and as someone who isn’t great at accepting help, I was repeatedly told by others that I needed someone to manage the day. Thank goodness I listened, because Rachel was an absolute lifesaver.

She came highly recommended by a friend who said she was brilliant, and they were absolutely right. From the very beginning, Rachel was engaging, supportive, and involved in every step of the process. On the day, she managed all the suppliers (and there were a lot of them, including a rather difficult chef) and ensured everything ran seamlessly. I’m pretty sure things must have gone wrong at some point, but I never noticed because Rachel had it all under control.

Despite the challenges of working with a location that wasn’t set up for weddings – dealing with generators going down, glassware issues, tricky access points, and car parking in farmers’ fields – Rachel handled it all with ease. She truly became part of the day and was there from start to finish, even looking after one of my friends who had a bit too much to drink!

Rachel, we couldn’t have done it without you. Thank you so much for everything!

What can I say! Rachel took my vision and brought it to life...and then some. Her support, skill and organisation were second to none and because I was able to put my trust in her and her lovely team, I knew that everything would work out just perfectly - and it did! I can't thank Rachel enough for the hours of chatting on the phone to me, chasing down suppliers, and guiding my creativity to result in the most spectacular day, that many weeks on, people (including myself and my new hubby) are still raving about. <3

Rachel helped plan our wedding and coordinate on the day. We couldn’t have asked for anything more - she was incredibly organised, professional and capable, she was proactive and always two steps ahead of us.

She understood the brief perfectly and gave us exactly the right amount of support and guidance in planning, providing tips and recommendations as needed.

On the day, and in the lead up, we felt so looked after by Rachel - we didn’t once stop to think about logistics on the day, it was seemlessly taken care of. Rachel was also just a very reassuring, kind and calm person to have there on the day amongst all the madness - we couldn’t recommend her enough. You will not regret getting Rachel on board, it is the best money we spent.

Thank you Rach!

Rachel was absolutely incredible! I literally didn’t have one worry or doubt leading up to our wedding because I knew everything was taken care of. I actually think the morning of my wedding was one of the most relaxing mornings of my life, because I knew Rachel was there working her magic. She understood our vision, gave me so many ideas on how to be creative, and always save money! And throughout the whole process was incredibly organised. A huge thank you! If you’re debating whether to get Rachel to help, do it! You won’t regret it

We knew our wedding setup would be in safe hands with Rachel. She’s a lovely person to work with and brought calm to a hectic time. She went the extra mile to make everything perfect for us, and her wedding experience and beautiful taste are second to none. She worked so well with our florist, venue staff and suppliers to ensure everything ran smoothly and our venue looked its absolute best on our day. I’m so glad we chose Rachel to take charge of our setup - best wedding planning decision ever!

Where do I start, Rachel was amazing and ensured we felt super relaxed on the lead up but also on the day! We got married in Cornwall over a weekend (Friday - Sunday) and so wanted to enjoy the lead up to the day with a 'rehearsal' dinner with our close family and friends. Rachel's creative eye ensured all the stationary matched with my vision. Arriving on the Friday to setup the breakfast room and ensure everything was put down and taken away on the Sunday so we didn't have to think about anything. I would recommend to ANYONE. Thank you so much for everything xxx
