I attended an event coordinated by Raquel. The utmost incredible event! Everything was done to the nines! It was so classy and elegant. The event ran smoothly without incident. I would hire her in a heartbeat.

I have worked with Raquel Sananes Grad and I can verify that she is a very detailed oriented professional in the fields of Event Coordinator/Wedding Planner. I would not hesitate to hire Raquel for any type of Event Planning in Toronto.

Raquel is one of the most organized and diligent event planners I have ever met. Her ability to find not only the best quality vendors, but also work out amazing deals is very impressive!

Raquel from RSG Events was terrific, when it comes to event planning she really knows what she is doing and can handle any challenge. Thank you again Raquel for all your hard work.

Marshall Train

Raquel is a pro. No detail left to chance and all managed with a great sense of humour. We enjoyed the wedding so much since we had nothing to worry about!

Julie Coen

Raquel and her team are wonderful. We hired Raquel to assist on the day of our son's bar mitzvah. I felt I could handle most of the planning myself and Raquel was perfectly fine in offering assistance just on the day of the event. Well, little did I know how much was actually involved in planning a bar mitzvah. We ended up upgrading our package and Raquel went above and beyond what we expected from an event planner. She was extremely helpful and patient and helped us every step of the way. Our son's bar mitzvah was wonderful. Thank you Raquel.

Where do I begin about Raquel!? She is an amazing wedding planner who helped us plan the wedding of our dreams despite a global pandemic! We planned this wedding three times due to government guidelines constantly changing (150 people, to 50 people, to 10!). Despite all of this, she remained calm, organized, and supportive--all with a smile on. She helped us renegotiate vendor contracts, redo schedules, explain our options, and communicate with everyone involved. We couldn't have done this without her. She tried so hard for us and really exceeded our expectations. Raquel genuinely cares about her brides/grooms and constantly checks in and is always available to chat. She wants them to be happy even if it means more work for her. This quality is really important in a planner. The wedding day was perfect and all we had to do was show up! I had 100% confidence that Raquel was taking care of every detail behind the scenes. She was great and we cant wait to use her again for future parties! -Hayley & Aaron

I came to know Raquel as she has planned many corporate events for my father's company. I've always known her to be an exceptional person - kind, friendly, always smiling, never stressed, eager to please, hard worker. She loves what she does and she's very very good at it! I know first hand as I not only saw her organize many corporate events for up to 500 people but I saw first hand what an amazing planner she is when she planned my covid19 wedding. The number of changes we had to make, some at the very last minute, had my head spinning. But Raquel was always calm and collected throughout. She always made me feel better when I was on the edge of cracking. She assured me my wedding day would be the best day of my life, whether I had 10 guests or 100 guests and she was right! From the moment my fiance and I hired her, she was always there for us. She replies to emails and phone calls promptly and always had us on track. We could not have gotten through our wedding day, or the planning stage, without her!! She is honestly one of the best professionals I have ever met and worked with. I would HIGHLY recommend her to anyone planning an event.

Duncan Millwood

A most wonderful event planner. Very knowledgeable in her industry and has great contacts to the very best professionals. If you are planning any kind of party - corporate, wedding or otherwise, look no further. Raquel from RSG Events is wonderful! I highly recommend her.

Cara Fineburg

By far the best Event & Wedding Planner I have ever known! I would never think of hiring anyone other than Raquel for any of my events. She is fantastic!!

We are SO lucky and grateful that we had the chance to work with Raquel when planning our wedding this year. For a year, she was consistently available whenever we had any questions and to guide us through the crazy process of planning a wedding. When our initial wedding had to be cancelled due to COVID 19, we were very stressed and nervous. Lucky for us, we had the most amazing wedding planner by our side. Raquel made a very hard situation feel much less daunting, and always with a smile. Whenever any issue came up, she was full of wonderful ideas and helped us get through it calmly, including changing our venue a few times even up to a few weeks before the wedding! It is very clear how much experience Raquel has which made the whole process that much smoother. We feel extremely fortunate that we had her on our team, and really couldn't have done it without her! I highly recommend Raquel for any of your events as her patience, kindness, efficiency and organization made her a perfect fit!

Jordan Kleinberg

My fiance and I hired Raquel to help us plan our wedding. We are two busy professionals with little time to plan anything let alone a wedding. Raquel took the time to go through each of her packages with us to see which one was the right one for us. She then went on to help us plan the entire wedding. From helping us select a venue and caterer right down to decor, invitations, music and so much more. The actual wedding day was flawless. If anything went wrong, we don't know. Raquel was there to look after every detail. She is organized, detailed and great to work with. We highly recommend Raquel for any event. - Jordan & Alexa -

Fred Albi

In my experience, every event that RSG Events manages just seems to go smoothly. I highly recommend hiring Raquel to manage your event.

Pierre Coltonne

Excellent! A wonderful experience. Excellent to work with. Knowledgeable, detailed, patient, understanding, hardworking...everything you want in a coordinator. Highly recommend.

Simone Schwartz

Raquel is the wedding planner of our dreams!! We had to change our wedding plans multiple times due to the pandemic and Raquel always knew how to tackle the next change we had to make and always made me feel calm. From the moment my husband and I met her we knew we made the right choice working with Raquel. She made sure our vision came to life, and always had incredible ideas when we needed her opinion. Raquel is thoughtful, organized, punctual and you can tell that she loves what she does. She planned our dream wedding ceremony and we look forward to working with her for the reception as well!!

Andrea Lodster

Raquel was instrumental in ensuring that all our children's celebrations were just as we wanted. We have 4 children and she has done 2 bar mitzvahs and 2 weddings for us. She delivers everything she says she is going to deliver and more! She was extremely helpful with all the vendors we hired. She is very well connected in the entertainment industry and has a full roster of vendors to suit any budget. She was always there for us and helped us deal with several issues that came up with our vendors. She is incredible in everyway. We would highly recommend her to anyone having any type of event.

Amy Lynn Waldin

Best Wedding Planner Ever!!!! Our wedding day was a dream come true! Could not have done it without Raquel and the team at RSG Events. Highly Recommend!!!!!

Ari Gold

Raquel was hired to do my children’s B’nai Mitzvah party 4 years ago and when I needed a party planner to help me with my son’s Bar Mitzvah a few weeks ago, she was the only planner I considered hiring. She is as professional as she is personable. She made sure that every little detail was covered and insured that this party went off without any problems whatsoever. I am so pleased with her services and would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for an event planner.

Susan Morris

Raquel from RSG Events planned all 3 of my children's wedding. There are no words to describe how amazing she is. Raquel is friendly, professional, extremely organized and detailed and an absolute pleasure to work with!! She was there every step of the way from the minute we hired her until the very end of the wedding night. Whereas some event planners will leave right after dinner, Raquel will stay until the very end of the night, after the sweet table opens. She was always available to us. Whether it was a phone call or email, she always made sure to respond in a timely fashion. She always answered our questions and provided us with the best vendor referrals. She always kept us on track telling us what needed to be done and when. She made sure that the wedding day ran smoothly. If anything happened at any of my children's weddings, I don't know because Raquel was there to look after everything. I didn't have to worry about anything. I was able to enjoy the day and be with my children. Thank you Raquel for all that you do for your clients!!! You are the best!!!!!

Lisa Beebee

Never was it more important to have a Bridal Consultant than during these Crazy Covid times. I can tell you that Raquel exceeded our expectations on every level during these unprecedented times organizing and rebooking my daughters wedding not once but 3 times. Raquel had us keeping our cool every step of the way and offered solutions before we finished explaining the problem. She was FANTASTIC !! Her concern EVERY step of the way is that the Bride have NO stress. She was sure to let the parents know that any thing stressful should come to her NOT the Bride and Groom and was so patient with any and all of our rants . In the end my only daughters Wedding exceeded Our expectations. All thanks to Raquel at RSG Events!! We could not have gotten through it without her. I HIGHLY Recommend RSG Events for your next Function

Aniquette Francois

We hired Raquel to plan our children's b'nai mitzvah. This was an elegant affair with 350 guests in attendance. Raquel managed the entire event from the very beginning where we needed help in selecting the right vendors - DJ, photographer, videographer, florist, décor, etc. - right through to the day of the celebration. Everything was well done and very well organized. Our guests enjoyed the evening very much. We felt everything was to perfection. Merci Raquel for all your hard work to ensure that our children's b'nai mitzvah was a day we will never forget.

Isabel Gandolph

We are so thankful to RSG Events for everything they did to ensure our dream wedding was a reality. Raquel is delightful! Always professional yet friendly and outgoing. Her attention to detail is second to none. She always kept us calm and on track. We were very pleased with the outcome. We would highly recommend Raquel and her team for any event.

Calista Hartman

I had an incredible experience with Raquel as my wedding planner. We were on the fence about hiring a wedding planner because our budget was tight but Raquel made it affordable and explained to us the importance of having someone on the day of the wedding to deal with all the little details. She was not pushy at all and offered us a package we could afford. It was great having her on our wedding. She completely took the stress away. Thank you Raquel for everything you did for us. We will never forget you.

lina moldova

I hired Raquel from RSG Events to help me plan my daughter's wedding. This was after having fired another event planner who did absolutely nothing. Raquel exceeded my expectations in everything she did for us. She went the extra mile and helped keep me and my daughter calm at all times. She listens and cares about her clients. She is affordable, reasonable and amazing to work with.

Daniela Jesin

Raquel was so wonderful to work with. We had to plan our wedding while navigating Covid-19 and Raquel was there to support and help us the whole way through. She was available to us at anytime, and was there to talk and problem solve through every obstacle whether big or small. The wedding we had was different than what we originally planned, but is was even more beautiful and perfect than we could have ever imagined thanks to the creativity, organization and support and we had from Raquel. Thank you so much!!

Kevin Hartman

Fantastic event planner! Great to deal with and easy to connect with. Very knowledgeable in the event planning industry and very well connected to many vendors. Our fundraiser was very successful thanks to Raquel and her team.

Moshe Schwartz

Raquel runs a tight ship! You can rest assured that when she is running your event, everything will go as planned. I would absolutely recommend RSG events!

Karen & Derek Straughan

Simply fantastic!! Don't waste your time looking at other planners. Raquel is the best there is. Her prices are competitive and her customer service is beyond anything I have ever experienced. She responds to emails right away, unlike a lot of other vendors I know. She was a great liaison. Whenever I had an issue with a vendor she would jump right in and resolve the matter. She was there for me whenever I needed her and was a huge help to all of us on our wedding day. Thank you Raquel. We love you!! - Karen & Derek

Toni Barsutto

Raquel from RSG Events is a fantastic wedding planner. She took care of every detail and made sure that my wedding day was perfect. I didn't have to worry about anything. She was always available to me via phone, email and text to answer all my questions. She's fantastic! Thank you Raquel. Could not have done it without you.

Lindsey Kochberg

Raquel from RSG Events is terrific! She is experienced, knowledgeable and very well versed in the event planning industry. She was able to ensure that our wedding was smooth and easy from the minute we hired her. I was extremely impressed at how calm she always was. Nothing seemed to frazzle her even when the band leader was late in arriving, she made sure she had the situation covered by ensuring that other members of the band took over in the interim. I would have been completely stressed out if not for her. There are many event planners out there but none as warm, caring, calm and experienced as Raquel. Her happiness is your happiness. Thanks Raquel for everything you did for us!!
