Rachel and The Farm go hand in hand. From the moment we chose The Farm as our wedding venue, we knew we were in good hands with Rachel. She knows this place like the back of her hand. She has top notch communication, coordination, and personality. From months out to the wedding weekend, Rachel had such thorough plans and high expectations that led to a picture perfect day for us. As a Type A planner, I find it hard to trust others with my visions and plans. Rachel executed a flawless weekend for us, and I would work with her and The Farm a million times more if I could.
