Be Hitched Event Planning & Design

If we could give Rebecca 10 stars we would! Rebecca is truly incredible! From the moment we met her in our first planning meeting, we instantly clicked and knew she was the perfect planner to take our vision and execute it perfectly. We had some general ideas and a vision for our wedding day and she immediately "got it" and offered her creative ideas right away. We only had 5 months to plan an extravagant wedding with many little details and it turned out INCREDIBLE! The vendors that Rebecca suggested to us were all amazing and everyone worked so well together. All of our guests said it was the best wedding they ever attended. It truly was beyond our dreams! My wife and I feel so grateful that we found Rebecca and hope that we continue to stay in touch! If you are looking for a planner, look no further. You won't be disappointed with Rebecca and Be Hitched!!!

Rebecca is a wedding-planning rockstar, if such a thing exists. She is incredibly timely and responsive, patient, fabulously creative and innovative, thoughtful, and on top of this, she's kind and enjoyable to be in connection with. Which is exactly what you want out of a wedding planner. She has been a massive source of support in the whole process, from finding and booking vendors to all the tiny little details one needs to think about for a wedding. Thanks to her, the day of was a total joy, in huge part because she was constantly behind the scenes make sure things went smoothly. I could not recommend her more highly.

Here to echo everyone else's praise! Rebecca was the best decision my husband and I made about our wedding. Once we realized planning a wedding is not as easy as it seems, we reached out to Rebecca after running into her while planning someone else's wedding at our venue. Although it was luck that we found her, we would hire her again in a heartbeat. Rebecca is extremely organized, extremely creative, and a really, really, really nice person to be around. Both the planning and day of our wedding were such a joy, and we have Rebecca to thank for that. Our wedding had a lot of moving parts, and Rebecca worked equally well with nervous parents on logistics, with me on design details, and coordinating with vendors. (Our photographer and officiant hadn't worked with her before, and both separately commented that she was exceptionally organized and professional). Rebecca even managed to kindly wrangle all 17 members (seriously) of our "boisterous" bridal party. If you're wavering on hiring a planner, just do it. It doesn't mean the wedding won't be 100% your vision, but it does mean you won't be bogged down in the stress of vendor contracts and timetables, and can focus on the good stuff. THANK YOU REBECCA!

This review is long overdue, mostly because it's been difficult to write a review worthy of Rebecca -- but here goes.My husband and I were maybe 9 months into our wedding planning process, with that many more months left to go before the big day, when we had to fire our old coordinator for ignoring us for two months, among other things. We were planning a weekend-long wedding at a summer camp in the woods with over 150 of our closest friends and family. Needless to say, we were stressed out. Based on our photographer's recommendation, we reached out to Rebecca, and she immediately put us at ease and invited us to meet with her in person. A few days later, over a shared bottle of wine, she listened to us panic and offered advice, no strings attached -- even if she wasn't the right fit, she would've gladly helped us find someone else. Lucky for us, she was. Rebecca is warm, funny, approachable, and so, so on top of things, no matter how hectic or busy things get. We probably exchanged hundreds of emails between our first meeting in November 2015 and our wedding in August 2016. She had brilliant suggestions for design and decor and she listened to me hem and haw over probably-inconsequential-but-irrationally-important-to-me decisions like our choice of tablecloths. She took over communications with the rest of our vendors so that we wouldn't have to freak out over the final details. She came with us on site visits and had questions about logistics, layouts, etc. prepared that we'd never even considered. She drafted extremely comprehensive timelines for both the months preceding and the day of the wedding. She single-handedly put together our massive rental order. She even calmed me down the morning before the wedding when some of our rehearsal flowers turned out unexpectedly bright and colorful, and I had a bridezilla moment because it wasn't the moody vibe I was going for (I know, I KNOW) -- and then spoke to our florists to make sure the rest of them turned out perfectly. She helped us with absolutely everything and kept us sane.And on the day of the wedding, Rebecca and her assistants made everything happen beautifully, smoothly, and seamlessly -- like magic. They made sure all the deliveries arrived at the correct time and place; they put up all the decorations, displays, and table settings; they directed all the guests and made sure the event flowed perfectly, even when one of our guest shuttles ran 20 minutes late. The day before and the morning of the wedding, I remember multiple guests asking me (a notorious neurotic), "How are you so calm right now?" Easy answer: Rebecca. It truly was the most wonderful weekend and we could not have done it without her. Seriously, just hire her. You won't regret it.

I do not know what we would have done without Rebecca. We intended to handle wedding planning on our own because we wanted a pretty low-key wedding while keeping a modest budget.Hiring Rebecca turned out to be the best decision we made throughout the entire wedding planning process! She helped us navigate some tricky decisions with grace and diplomacy, and she wasn't afraid to be upfront with honest, informed opinions, tips, and tricks based on past experiences.The fact that she was in charge on the wedding day meant we could confidently relax and enjoy the festivities without having to worry about timetables or stressful details. I highly recommend Rebecca to anyone in search of a fabulous wedding planner. NOTE FROM HUSBAND: Why have your wedding simply planned, when it can be perfected by Rebecca!

Rebecca! If you find yourself reading this review, just do yourself a favor and get in touch with her. The best decision my husband and I made in our wedding planning process was to reach out to Rebecca (I was pretty sure I didn't need a planner... I was wrong) a few months in. Instantly she put us at ease. Rebecca is kind, funny, relaxed, and ORGANIZED! So organized. We planned a weekend long wedding in the woods with 150 guests, all staying on the property. It was... a lot to plan. Rebecca was so on top of all of the logistics, personal dynamics, and design. She is so experienced in this industry that she knows the types of issues that might come up, and is able to handle them before they ever come to pass. I honestly cannot say enough good things about working with Rebecca. She was completely transparent with her process and role and communication, and was able to break down the oftentimes overwhelming process of planning an event like this into bite sized pieces that we could tackle on top of everything else going on in our lives. Not to mention everything she took care of behind the scenes without even bothering us with it. When the weekend of the wedding arrived, Rebecca showed up with her trusty iPad and ran that weekend like clockwork. It was impressive to watch. Hundreds of logistics and rentals and details, and everything executed perfectly and smoothly. All we had to do was focus on each other and our guests and getting married. I truly cannot say enough good things about Rebecca. Thank you for everything you did for us, we will never forget it!!

I attended a friend's wedding at the Headlands Center for the Arts near Sausalito on 4/13/2013. As a former event planner I am critical of every wedding I attend, but I couldn't find a single glitch. I have never been to a better-organized or more smoothly-run wedding.The event clearly reflected the bridal couple's personalities and values, so Rebecca gets big points for executing their vision. I also noted the complete lack of stress among the couple and their close friends and family. Usually someone is running around trying to put out fires, but Rebecca saw to it that the couple and their inner circle were free to enjoy themselves. What a gift! In fact, no one was running around - something always goes wrong at a wedding so I have to assume there were problems, but Rebecca handled them calmly and discreetly.As guests, we were never left confused about what was happening; there was no question about where we should be and when, and no long down time between different elements such as dinner and speeches. Rebecca and her crew were firing on all cylinders.At the end of the night when I finally inquired after the wedding planner, she didn't seem frazzled or fazed in the least despite being at the tail-end of a very long day. I was pleasantly surprised to find that in addition to being great at her job, she's a genuinely approachable, warm, and humble person. You know you've done something right when you've earned the admiration of a fellow planner (we're a discerning bunch), and I can safely say that Rebecca is worth her weight in gold to any Bay-area couple in need of a wedding planner.

Rebecca was an absolutely terrific wedding coordinator...and a constant source of support throughout the year prior to our big day. Whether meeting us at a flea market to look for a frame for our chalkboard dinner menu or walking us through schedules and vendor possibilities on the phone and in person, her presence was always welcome and her insight always invaluable.Everyone told us planning a wedding was one of the most crazy-making experiences one could go through, but we actually found it be pretty serene due to Rebecca's reassuring, straightforward manner and clear directions, regularly received via phone and email. During the wedding itself, we weren't stressed out trying to find people and keep track of things - we just had a good time, going wherever Rebecca told us to go. Things just magically appeared when needed, everything happened in the right order, no one went missing at key moments - it went off without a hitch. She also made our guests feel totally comfortable, and we heard many comments about how sweet and helpful she was!Time and again during the evening of our wedding and over the course of the weeks that followed, we heard from guests who told us that it was one of the most enjoyable and lovely weddings they'd ever been to. Rebecca's touch played a major role.We recommend her most highly!

Summary: Rebecca is incredible and you need to hire her... immediately. I wish a 9 stars rating was available.We came to meet Rebecca after our friends suggested we consider her for our wedding planner. After seeing the magic she created at their wedding, it wasn't hard to consider. During our first meeting, she easy to talk with and seemed to quickly understand what we wanted. During the next 18 months, she guided us through the event design, location, and vendor selection. She helped pull together a group of vendors that ended up feeling like our friends. She was always there for a quick phone call to discuss any details or questions that came up. She handled difficult conversations when problems arose and she did all of this with an amazingly positive attitude and calm demeanor. Our wedding day arrived and it was beyond all expectations - truly the best day of our lives. We simply could not have done it without Rebecca, not without going crazy :-). We now get get all the incredible memories of our day and to count Rebecca as a friend.

Rebecca is awesome! Even though that sums it up I am sure you would like to know why? I had a vision and am a pretty crafty girl, but when it came to logistics and coordinating I was a little lost, so we hired Rebecca as our Day of Coordinator and paid for unlimited email before the wedding as well. I remember the first question I asked Rebecca was whether I should pad the time on our invite to make sure people showed up on time. When she informed me that most guests try to be early or at least ontime to weddings and that padding the time would just result in most guests wandering around the venue while we were still getting ready I knew she was my girl.Before the wedding:She always responded to my emails in a timely manner, which is huge! She was also super helpful with all those weird/tough etiquette questions that come up during weddings. Day of:Well, we kind of hit a snag with our shuttle vendors (which we found on our own). If we hadn't had her there to help us work through the situation I would have flipped out...guaranteed. Once the ceremony started everything was smooth sailing and perfect. All the decor was set up just how I envisioned it...even better actually. She added small touches that I hadn't even thought of (i.e. eucalyptus on the wooden menu and chalkboard welcome sign).In addition to being an awesome day of coordinator...she is just a nice, fun, cool person.
