Reviews of Jacqueline Rae Weddings Events Interiors (Event Planner)

We were so fortunate and happy to have worked with Jacqueline for our wedding in Canmore! Our experience was invaluable... worth every penny and more. We can’t thank her and the team enough for their hard work and support before, during and after our big day. Jacqueline supported with our wedding design, program, rentals, and vendors, event day coordination, set-up and take-down. She took the time to get to know us throughout the process and focused on understanding what was important to us. She was very easy to talk to and communicate with and understood exactly what we wanted and how to deliver it… even when we had a tough time articulating it! Planning a wedding during COVID-19, especially one that was delayed, created a few extra challenges… and Jacqueline was there every step of the way. Her advice and experience were invaluable in helping us through all our ideas and questions. One of our most important considerations was the timing, flow and guest experience… which requires thoughtful planning and execution including many details, big and small, before and during the event days. Jacqueline was on top of all of them… including so many that we hadn’t even considered or thought of. Many couples spend their wedding day and the days leading up to it, coordinating and managing guests, vendors and the venue while ensuring everything occurs as planned. While it is difficult to capture everything that her team does on the day of the wedding, because so much of it goes unnoticed, it is because of Jacqueline that we were able to experience and enjoy our wedding weekend to the fullest. We weren’t only able to deliver our vision for our wedding event to our friends and family but experience it with them! Great events don’t just happen, but they will if you have Jacqueline on your team!

Jacqueline went above and beyond in every way I could have imagined for our big day back in August of this year. My husband and I still talk about how seamless the wedding was because of Jacqueline and her team. Getting married in another country when you have never seen the location should probably be pretty stressful for a normal couple, but we did not feel that one bit leading up to our day. We trusted that Jacqueline had it all taken care of, which she did. Every time that I talked to Jacqueline over video, phone call, or text, all of my fears and worries about the day immediately disappeared. I can't imagine getting married and having such a beautiful wedding without Jacqueline by my side every step of the way. If you are looking for a wedding planner, we HIGHLY recommend Jacqueline and her team! She does not disappoint!

We couldn’t have done our wedding without Jacqueline and her team. Planning a wedding is a huge endeavor, especially during a pandemic. However, we felt much more at ease having Jacqueline there to guide and support us. Even though we brought her on as a “day of/month of coordinator” we really felt that she went above and beyond our expectations. She made herself available throughout our planning process to answer any questions we may have had and was always so pleasant to deal with. We knew from the moment we met her at the initial interview, that we would get along and work well together. We would recommend to anyone planning a wedding to choose Jacqueline as their day of coordinator. The tools and checklist that she provided made our life so much easier, and we were honestly so relaxed on our wedding day knowing that we could trust her team to run the show! We wouldn’t have been able to enjoy our day as much as we did without her and her team. Thank you so much for everything you’ve done for us and helping make our wedding day so perfect, and so much more than we could ever dream of! Paulinda & Patrick

I’ve worked with Jacqueline Rae over the last three years and she is an amazing and organized event planner. She is organized and detailed, great to bounce ideas off of, and she jumps in to help troubleshoot problems. I feel lucky to work with her on many weddings. To all the wedding couples considering a wedding planner, Jacqueline is awesome and a pleasure to work with as your right-hand gal because she really takes care of you and your guests.

Jacqueline is professional, organized and talented. She is such a delight to work with.

Jacqueline is a life saver! Last year my sister was completely overwhelmed with work and her wedding planning fell by the wayside. Overcome with a never ending to do list and not enough time to do it all, we got a referral to hire Jacqueline which was the best decision of the entire wedding planning process. The only problem we had with Jacqueline was not hiring her sooner! She is professional, authentic, organized, efficient, a total go getter and best of all her personality can light up any room she is in. I have now hired her for my wedding and couldn’t be happier! 5 stars, 2 thumbs up, 10 out of 10!

As a wedding photographer myself, I have been to many weddings and worked with countless vendors, but Jacqueline blew me away with her organization, attention to detail, and professionalism. She read my mind and somehow knew exactly what I needed without asking. Jacqueline helped make the day run so smoothly not only for the bride+groom, but guests and other vendors involved also. Jacqueline truly is a gem and as a wedding professional who has been in the industry for years, I would highly recommend her in a heartbeat.

Jordan Barley

Hiring Jacqueline was absolutely the best investment we made for our wedding! We live in Texas and had been to Banff one time prior to getting married there, so navigating all of the ins and outs of planning a destination wedding would've been impossible without her and her team. They were incredibly professional, provided amazing recommendations for vendors, and made our day go off without a hitch! (At least that's how it seemed to me; if something went wrong, she certainly never let on, just took care of it.) Every detail, down the favors, was so uniquely Canadian and reflected us and what we envisioned. As an added bonus, the entire day it snowed, talk about a true winter wonderland! If you're looking for the best experience, I highly recommend Jacqueline and her team!

Corrina Walker

Working with JRW is always a pleasure. I'm a wedding photographer and have worked with Jacqueline many times. She is always organized and so easy to work with. I would highly recommend her to all my wedding couples.

Cathy Duncan

I've worked with Jacqueline on a few weddings now (I'm with a venue) and she has been nothing but exceptional. She puts not only her clients at ease taking care of everything they need, but she also put OUR staff at ease knowing shes been taking care of our client. All the details are taken care of! Definitely recommend her and her teams services.

Sian Bunio

We worked with Jacqueline for about 3 years as she helped us navigate wedding planning during a pandemic. The online wedding platform she uses kept us on track and she was always available to answer questions throughout the process. Our wedding day was a dream! As day of coordinator I had my full trust in her and she delivered! Our ceremony and reception was so beautiful and I want to go back and relive it. The whole day flowed seamlessly with her direction. We loved working with her and recommend booking her for any wedding or celebration!

Kathleen T

Jacqueline is truly amazing at what she does! I can't say enough about her organization, her sense of calm, her generosity and her creative ideas that helped make our wedding such a beautiful day. From the beginning of planning to the very end, she was extremely generous with her time, effort and support. Every time I came to her with a question or a problem, she just rolled with it and found a way to deal with it calmly. She was tireless in making everything from placecards to welcome signs to personalized menus to individualized schedules for us, and I honestly can't imagine doing any of it without her help. She not only is a great planner and coordinator but also has wonderful creativity and resourcefulness that shines through in her styling and design projects as well. I really cannot recommend her enough. She has a true passion for what she does and is an amazing person as well!

Julia Fisher

Best investment we made for our wedding day! There are not enough good things I can say about Jacqueline - the value she created was worth a lot more than we ever expected. She went above and beyond for us from the initial meeting to the last one after the wedding. I can honestly say I was able to fully enjoy every single moment of my wedding day without a worry because of her. We loved her work and we loved her as a person even more!

Samantha Sinotte

I have had the pleasure of being a part of two weddings with Jacqueline. One was my own and the other was my sisters, at which I was the maid of honor. I have been in awe of Jacqueline and her professionalism, taste, and work ethic for years and I am lucky to have experienced it first hand. She is the most detail oriented person I have ever worked with and has a fierce passion for hosting guests and making them feel pampered. Every step of the way she was phenomenal; from phone calls, initial meetings, sharing of calendars and websites, rehearsals, ceremonies, to tear down, Jacqueline was exquisite.

Lindsey Kao

As a vendor in the wedding industry we (my partner and I) have worked with Jacqueline Rae on numerous occasions. Our experience working with Jacqueline has always been positive. Her and her team are professional, organized and very detailed! Communication is prompt and precise. Not only is Jacqueline personable, but she also has an amazing eye for design! We feel confident when we recommend our couples to Jacqueline, and would highly suggest to anyone who does not have a planner yet to hire Jacqueline and her team!

Shanda Grohn

As a hair and makeup vendor in the industry we have worked with Jacqueline many times and she is absolutely amazing at what she does and a pleasure to work with! She is a preferred vendor that we recommend to all our clients, because working with a great planner is so important and we want all our clients to have seamless planning experience. Thank you Jacqueline!

Cohen Hickerty

When my now wife first told me she wanted to hire a wedding planner I was more then a little apprehensive, so I put my foot down and we hired her to plan our wedding. When I say we couldn't have done it without her that is a giant understatement. She was so helpful every step of the way, answering all questions and concerns (and considering it was in the middle of the pandemic there was a lot of them) Her and her team made our day perfect down to the smallest detail. Honestly it was some of the best money I have ever spent. After the wedding she continued to help us in every way possible. The best in the business in my opinion and would recommend to anyone getting married. You will not regret it!

Aurora Elliott

Hands down the bet investment we made on our wedding day! We reached out to Jacqueline in March of 2020 when it became clear that our May 2020 wedding in Italy was not going to happen due to Covid. We ultimately decided to put wedding planning on hold while things settled down in the world and then reached out to Jacqueline again in June once we had decided to put together a small intimate celebration at the Banff Springs Hotel for August 7th. With just over 7 weeks to plan, Jacqueline helped us put together the most AMAZING day and made it feel like an absolute breeze. Everything from the online planning platform and process Jacqueline used to understand our vision for the day, to the regular zoom calls to make sure we were on track was absolutely seamless. We walked in to the wedding week feeling totally relaxed and prepared, knowing Jacqueline and her team were there handling everything made it such a relaxing and enjoyable day for not only me and my husband but for all of our family and guests. Jacqueline took my vision for the reception room and made it better than I could have ever imagined, setting up all of our décor flawlessly. Honestly, I can't even say enough about how much we appreciate Jacqueline, our day would not have come together the same way without her and I would recommend her services to ANYONE planning a wedding, she really is the best of the best!

I have had the pleasure of working with Jacqueline for a few years now and simply love observing all of the hard work and dedication she puts into creating such a lovely marriage ceremony space. Her calm demeanor, grace, kindness and professionalism towards vendors, family and couple is inspiring to observe as she truly is genuine and kind-hearted.

Jillian Conway

Probably one of the best decisions we made in our wedding planning process was hiring Jacqueline Rae and her team. We actually hired her before COVID hit and she continued to work diligently with us through the entire pandemic, constantly pivoting, to help us have our special day. From where we stood, our day ran absolutely seamlessly and we were blissfully unaware of the multiple day of issues that arose with other vendors. It truly was a magical day with the majority of the credit for it going to Jacqueline and her team for making it so. Leading up to the wedding, we felt constantly supported, heard and valued. Kerry was highly responsive and very lovely to work with in addition to Jacqueline. By the time we got to the wedding itself, Jacqueline felt as much like a friend as she did a vendor. She is hands down the first person I would recommend absolutely anyone work with for any event. She is a lovely, caring, genuine person and a constant professional. We cannot thank her and her team enough. Jill & Nathan
