Testimonials

"I'm not even sure where to start...Rachell is absolutely wonderful! We recommend her often for our clients (I'm a wedding planner). So when I got engaged, she was the first vendor I thought of for my full invitation suite...and let's just say she completely knocked it out of the park! She worked with an artist to design a custom watercolor piece that became the basis for everything we did…and it was all gorgeous! Save the dates, invitations, bar signage, menus, seating charts…she can do it all. And always with a smile and the most thoughtful consideration. We love her!"
— Amanda Holder, Bride & California Wedding Day Publisher

"Working with Rachell Rae Designs was an absolute pleasure! Rachell is incredibly talented and truly has an eye for design. From the very beginning, she was so kind, patient, and attentive, especially since we didn’t have a clear vision in mind. She listened carefully to our ideas, no matter how abstract, and made sure to incorporate our feedback with ease. Her communication was amazing throughout the entire process—always prompt, clear, and organized. She kept everything on track, which made the entire experience stress-free.

The results were beyond our expectations! The invitations, an origami-style design, were absolutely stunning, and the day-of signage was perfection. The colors and fonts she chose tied everything together so beautifully. Our guests were in awe of the customized dinner menus, and the large, beautiful signs on display throughout the wedding added such a special touch.

We couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out and can’t wait to see it all captured in our professional photos. We highly recommend Rachell Rae Designs to anyone looking for unique, custom stationery. She truly made our wedding stationery experience seamless and enjoyable. We will absolutely be recommending her to all our friends and family!"

— Andrew Townsell, Groom

"Rachell took our ideas and turned them into something that was truly masterful and beautiful. She was super attentive and thorough and made suggestions to help streamline the process of getting our menus, signage, and name plates totally easy. She created a custom monogram for all of our stationary that was SO beautiful that we are considering having it carved into wood to hang in our house. She is truly an artist."
— Gg Bettencourt, Bride
