TESTIMONIALS

There are few people you come across in life that are truly experts in what they do. Rhonda by far has surpassed all levels of what it means to be a Wedding Coordinator. I particularly pay attention to detail and normally I’m the one pointing out things in conversation. I find with Rhonda, she is consistently showing me things to consider and think about. She surpasses my level of detail and I find that very rare — this is exactly what you want in a Wedding Coordinator. She’s honest and has your best intentions in mind and truly wants to see you have the most beautiful day of your life. It is no doubt in my mind Rhonda has elevated my wedding to a luxurious experience for my guests simply because of her attention to the little things. Details matter when it comes to giving an event that ‘je ne sais quoi’ feeling, and she delivers. She is worth every single penny and I know she’s paid for herself 3x over. I want everyone I know that’s getting married to use her because she’s that good. I know you don’t know me and are reading this as a stranger, but please — save yourself the wedding planning stress and go with Rhonda. It’s one of the best wedding decisions I’ve made! ❤️

Amanda

Bride, First Parish Church, Manchester-by-the-Sea

Rhonda was so helpful for our June 2024 wedding. She was communicative and organized, and happy to go with the flow for our unconventional ceremony plan. (We were married in a public park at our DIY altar). It was so great to have the peace of mind that our ceremony was taken care of (in the rain!) so we could enjoy dinner and photos!

Julia B

Bride, Ceremony & Reception Set Up

Rhonda at Raise a Glass was very easy to work with, even when we where at times difficult. Very thorough and totally professional. When planning is what you need, be sure to give Raise a Glass a call. Highly recommended and you won’t regret it.

Luceli G

Bride

With all of the wedding expenses that come up — if you’re going to spend money anywhere make sure to book Rhonda. She’s the best bang for your buck as far as saving you time, alleviating stress, and making sure everything is accounted for. My fiancée and I have told each other multiple times we were so glad we booked Rhonda because of the attention and detail she gave to her wedding planning process. She’s thorough and detailed, which made all the difference as far as catching little details which otherwise would’ve fallen through the cracks.

TLDR; Rhonda is exceptional and you should book her.

Keenan P

Groom, Tupper Manor

I came across Rhonda’s website when I was looking for a way to help my daughter be able to relax through the wedding planning process. The amount of times my daughter has told me she’s grateful for Rhonda has made me feel happy as a mom to know my daughter has been able to enjoy being engaged instead of stressing! Rhonda thank you very much for making my daughter’s wedding so very special!

She’s paid for herself 3x over…

Amanda & Keenan’s wedding day is still ahead, but their experience with Raise A Glass is already worth celebrating.

Rhonda was wonderful to work with. She organized my daughters sweet sixteen birthday party. There were changes  that we made and she was very patient with working with us. She came to the party to make sure all the vendors came and everything went smooth as planned, she then even came back at the end of the night just to make sure everything went well. I would highly recommend  Raise a Glass Weddings to organize any event. This was a GREAT choice to use this company . Everyone was very impressed and most importantly , I wasn’t all stressed out, we was able to spend this special day with our daughter instead of worrying about the details.”

Rhonda was a big help in planning and executing our event. She was very organized and recommended great vendors to use. She was there for the start of the party at The Hawthorne Hotel to make sure all was as we wanted. I recommend using Raise A Glass Weddings for any event you plan to have.

Hiring an Event Planner is not a luxury… it’s a necessity! Working with Rhonda is a delight. She is collaborative and creates an event that is “above and beyond” what the client has imagined. Just view her work and know that Raise a Glass Weddings is the right choice!
