We were lucky enough to work with Rach and the entire team at The Events Lounge for my husband’s 50th birthday party and they made it seamless. They not only took on my suggestions and ideas but Rach had amazing suggestions that turned out to be much better than mine. I can’t recommend them highly enough. Ive started booking in new events throughout the year just so I can work with them again!
I cannot emphasize enough just how incredible my experiences were with The Events Lounge. Rach and her team have an undeniable talent for creating unforgettable moments that stay with you forever. Having previously entrusted them with my wedding, which was truly the best day of my life, it was an obvious choice to turn to them again for my 40th celebration.
From the very beginning, Rach made the entire process easy and stress-free. Her calm and approachable demeanour put me at ease, knowing that she would take care of every detail. No request was too big or too small, and her unwavering commitment to ensuring my event was perfect was evident in every interaction.
Rach’s creativity and vision are nothing short of amazing. She has an uncanny ability to bring my crazy ideas to life. The ambiance she created for both my wedding and my 40th was simply breathtaking. The attention to detail was impeccable, and every element was meticulously curated to reflect my style and personality.
The Events Lounge team is an absolute dream to work with. Their passion and dedication shine through in everything they do. Their infectious energy and enthusiasm add an extra layer of excitement to the planning process and the event itself. They are true professionals, and their commitment to ensuring that every guest has an incredible experience is unmatched.
Whether you’re planning an intimate gathering or a grand affair, I wholeheartedly recommend The Events Lounge. Rach and her talented team will transform your vision into a reality that exceeds your wildest dreams. Their creativity, attention to detail, and ability to create unforgettable moments make them an absolute must for any event. I can’t wait for our next party together!!
Rach & her team went truly ABOVE & BEYOND for our wedding celebrations. She was professional, as coooool as a cucumber through the entire thing, and really took the time to understand us as a couple to execute the most perfect day & night for us, while making everything so easy. Who knew a wedding could be such a stress free experience?! I would (and will!) recommend her to absolutely anyone planning an event as the go-to events planning company. We honestly couldn’t be happier. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!
I had my wedding in April 2023 in Brisbane, but as I live in London, it was mostly organised from overseas. I could absolutely NOT have organised the wedding without Rachael. She was constantly a calming and supportive presence, while also pushing me along at times when the timeline required. She was responsive to emails and went out of her way to accommodate the different timelines. Rachael dealt SO well with all types of personalities who wanted to be involved in the planning, but always made sure as the bride, I was put first. Her style advice is fantastic, she was right in every choice – especially where to spend money and where to save it. Any amount you pay for her services pales in comparison to the service you receive.
I could not speak more highly of Rachael and her team. They took my vision and created something event more beautiful than I ever could have imagined. The entire process was easy and enjoyable, I would not have changed at thing. Will be forever grateful for the best wedding day ever!
If I could give 10 stars I would. I will recommend Rachael to any person looking to have a wedding. She was so incredibly professional the entire time. Took the ease off on the wedding day and ensured it was the BEST PARTY EVER. Best day of my life. The scheduling was perfect, the music was perfect, the food was incredible, the photographer was outstanding and Rachael was the glue that held it all together. Cannot thank her enough. HIRE RACHAEL!!!!!!! Feel free to reach out if you want me to run you though HOW GOOD SHE WAS! I could show you photos and talk to it all day long.
Rach and her team were amazing! Not only did they bring our vision to life, but they kept us calm, cool and collected as we navigated late venue changes! It was such a seamless and stress free process – and I loved that Rachael was always a phone call/email away. We had the most incredible day and the look and feel of the day was even better than I originally imagined. Rachael has an incredible network of contacts in the industry and knew exactly who to go to for all our special requests.
5 Stars is just not enough for what Rachael and the team at The Events Lounge do. 9 years ago Rachael organised my wedding and on November 13th 2022 we had The Events Lounge organise the naming of our twins. When you use Rachael and The Events Lounge for an event, even the planning process is enjoyable! From conception to completion, nothing is too much trouble. Rachael’s design ideas are on point, the suppliers she coordinates are the best. There is not one thing I would change about either event. What perfect days! Thank you xx
Rachael & her team at The Events Lounge made our wedding truly spectacular. It was a seamless process to get everything done & I couldn’t be happier with the outcome! Our wedding was even better than what we could have pictured (& we had high hopes!) so I couldn’t recommend them enough. They ensured the whole day was stress free and we didn’t have to think about anything, just lived in the moment. Couldn’t be more grateful that we worked with Rachael. Thank you thank you thank you!!
Wow, what a wedding! To the wonderful people at The Events Lounge, and you, Rach, in particular, thank you for making our dream day a dream come true! No words can describe how happy you made us on our special day and our recovery party. You all are really so amazing, and we could not have done it without you.
Considering we don’t live in Byron, you seemed to completely understand our vision and hit our brief out of the park, no detail was spared and the success of the day (and all of our friends not wanting to have a wedding now after our wedding – I mean what could proceed that!) just shows how incredible you all are.
The work you did considering the conditions were tricky (I still can’t get over we were almost evacuated!!) was seamless. What you did with our Recovery too was so awesome. We really appreciate the effort you put in for us, considering you stayed overnight in Byron too. It would have been a big weekend! We will never, ever forget how hard you guys worked for us and how much joy you brought to us and our guests over our wedding weekend.
You and the team made the whole planning process a breeze and you kept us happy, ecstatic, elated and excited through the whole time, no Bridezilla or Groomzilla came out.
You are beyond amazing, THANK YOU! If we ever hear of anyone else getting married in Byron Bay or GC, we will direct them straight to you.
Rachael and the team at The Events Lounge were such a pleasure to work with and I would absolutely recommend them to anybody planning their wedding. We had so much fun putting it all together and I was thrilled with how it all turned out. There’s no way I would have been able to organize and pull off such a beautiful wedding without all their help, experience, recommendations, knowledge and impeccable styling that they brought to planning our big day. Thank you so very much!
We couldn’t recommend anyone better for the job.
We booked the Full Shebang package with The Events Lounge. The planning process was so much fun! We really loved our meetings with Rach. She instantly made us feel like we’ve known her for years. Rach really understood our vision and made our dream wedding come to life.
On the day everything went so smoothly and I felt so confident knowing it was in Rach’s hands.
We just wish we could get married over and over because it was the best day of our lives.
WOW – we have only just started to recover from what was the most incredibly EPIC wedding and reception party we could have ever hoped for!
THANK YOU from the bottom of our hearts for bringing our vision to life! Every single detail was so well executed and every touch was perfection in our eyes! Not to mention the most aligned and straight table setting we have ever seen, just a casual 100 person dinner table… unbelievable!
You and your team are amazing, talented and kind people and we cannot wait for the next event we plan so we can HIRE YOU! We will 100% be recommending your business to anyone who will listen!
Again, thank you for your hard work and dedication to our wedding and hope you enjoyed our day as much as we did!
We had a picture in our minds of a romantic fairy tale wedding. Never in our dreams did we think that the reality of our day would exceed that of our expectations.
Every single guest commented that it was the best wedding they had ever attended.
Every last detail was perfect and the seamless flow of the day ensured that the timing for everything was just perfect.
The design and set up was intimate and luxurious. Everything was 5 star and a day that we will never forget. It still brings tears to my eyes when I think about it!
Rachael came highly regarded to me by a friend who is a well known wedding celebrant in the area – she’d worked with her on many weddings and said she was the perfect fit for me. Gentle, organised with impeccable style and time management. Even though we planned a very low key, ambient picnic dinner-party style wedding – we told Rachael I’d still need the works-burger of wedding planners, because I wasn’t just time poor, I was time-impoverished. Rachael was our angel. She brought all my ideas to life in the most magical of ways. During the planning phase she asked just the right questions, only when they needed to be asked.
I always felt completely safe, and in more than capable hands. She did indeed have impeccable style, time management as well as foresight and an instinct for exactly what we wanted. She read our minds on most occasions. On the wedding day she was like an angel that kept everyone calm and joyful. She even attended to my elderly Father in law who was unwell, always taking care he felt comfortable.
She and her team expertly negotiated multiple suppliers and the whole wedding weekend went as smoothly as we could have dreamed. I can honestly say she is the wedding planner of all wedding planners – she created a day that Johnny and I honestly gushed was ‘the best day of our lives’.
OH EM GEE! Our wedding day was an absolute dream come true!
Once we were engaged, we simply knew we both did not have the time to organise the wedding we desired, nor did we know where to begin when we were planning a wedding in a state we didn’t live in. Naturally, we were recommended The Events Lounge Team by a colleague. We met with Rach and we adored her from the start. She was one cool cucumber and we knew that was exactly the type of person we needed. She listened and understood both of our personalities to ensure that our dreams and styles were combined into one. We expressed our absolute fantasy wedding – and surely, that’s exactly what we got. The planning process was clear, professional, detailed and calm. Leading up to the event we had a few minor external dramas (council cancelled venue), however, we didn’t lose a night’s sleep knowing we had Rachael to direct us to the best outcomes. She gave us the ultimate options in suppliers to ensure we got what we required. Communication was excellent, we received regular updates, we could call anytime or catch up to go over any concerns. When it came to the day – we were blown away! Detail, detail, detail!
There is honestly not one single thing we would have changed on the day, it is better than what we had even dreamt of. Thank you from the bottom of ours hearts for everything – you really out did yourself.
Thank you to Rachel and her team for creating the wedding of our dreams. Every element of the day was absolute perfection and executed exactly as we imagined. Thank you for showing a genuine kindness towards us both throughout the whole entire planning journey, you made the day totally stress free and breathtakingly beautiful. We are so thankful that we chose The Events Lounge as our planner.
We really wanted to take the time out to say a HUGE thank you to you for making our day truly magical. Like we had mentioned, planning the wedding while living overseas definitely wasn’t easy but knowing we had you putting together all of the plans, recommending only the very best vendors, and ensuring the day itself was absolutely seamless, meant the whole planning experience for us was actually super fun!
You handled the change of venue (amidst your busiest time of year) with no hassles. In the end everything happens for a reason and our new venue was so special and totally meant to be!
I know we probably weren’t always your most easy going of clients considering our fields of work (as we definitely knew what we wanted!) but you were always so open and willing to work with us on all of our ideas and we really couldn’t have done it without you. Thank you for bringing our vision to life!
Everyone was so impressed with all of the details, and we really do appreciate the hours and attention to detail you put in to make it perfect for us.
Thank you again Rach, we are truly so grateful!! We wish we could do it all over again.
We couldn’t recommend Rach and The Events Lounge more! People often ask us whether having an event’s planner was worth it, we reply telling everyone… having Rach was the best money we spent on our wedding, hands down. She took care of absolutely everything. The process was so stress free, which is exactly how we wanted it. Your wedding day should be relaxing, fun and enjoyable…our wedding day was that and more, and I have no doubt that’s because we had Rach there from day one. From putting out spot fires with family members, to finding a port-a-loo on the morning of our wedding, from nailing our style, to having a glass from champagne ready for us at the end of the aisle, she is simply worth her weight in gold! That is not an understatement!
She made us feel like our wedding was her highest priority and that we were in safe hands throughout the entire process, which we were. We live in Sydney but got married in Byron Bay. It could have been a recipe for disaster. Not with Rach steering the ship!
We loved that Rach was so easy to talk too, was so easy to contact, and always had time for us. Our wedding day was perfect thanks to Rach. She is unbelievably organised, unbelievably thorough, and unbelievably caring. All the qualities we want from someone who is alongside you for the biggest day of your life. We cannot thank her enough!
The decision to get married in Byron Bay was the easy part. Being from Melbourne we knew we needed a team to execute our vision on the day that we trusted, that lived locally and that had a reputation with other local suppliers. We knew that Rachael and the team at The Events Lounge were the best fit for us the second we met with them. Easygoing, detail oriented, communicative and beyond creative was the approach from the team throughout the planning and execution on the day. They created a whimsical, fantasy-filled fiesta that left our guests jaw to the floor and a smile from ear to ear on both bride and groom. We just want to do it again and again! Can’t recommend Rachael and her team highly enough. Thank you, thank you!
There is something rare and special about Rachael and her team at The Events Lounge. They are not your cookie-cutter Event Planners and they will exceed your expectations at every turn.
Hiring Rachael was hands down the best decision we made. From beginning to end, she took meticulous care of every single detail and gave all of our ideas life in the most surreal way. Anyone that has worked with Rachael can attest to the fact that her strengths are perfectionism and kindness. Two important attributes when planning a wedding. She genuinely cares about your day and will go above and beyond the call of duty every single time.
The end result? The wedding day of your dreams that is executed with the utmost style, class and professionalism.
We seriously couldn’t have imagined a better wedding day, but this all came together thanks to Rach and her amazing team.
From our first time meeting Rach at the viewing of what was to become our wedding venue, to her being there on our wedding day, the entire process ran so seamlessly.
We had more of an idea of what we wanted to avoid for our wedding day rather than knowing exactly what we wanted. Rach took everything we mentioned to her and was able to develop the most amazing day for us. From the furniture, the food and drinks, the lighting, the ceremony and all of the smaller details in between we really couldn’t have been happier.
Ever since the wedding day, our guests have continually said this was the best wedding they have ever attended and this is seriously down to the hard work and concepts created by Rach and her amazing team at The Events Lounge.
Thank you, we will be forever grateful for you creating all of the styling and planning of the best day of our lives!
Rachel and the Events Lounge Team were the most amazing group to have behind our wedding. They understood the style and atmosphere that we wanted straight away and put together an event that absolutely blew us away. Everything was looked after and Rach’s cool, calm and collected attitude made sure the only thing that was left for us to do was focus on each other and spend time with loved ones. I can not put into words how much I appreciate the care and time that went into making our wedding day a unique and one off experience that was not only special for us but something our guests are still talking about a year later.
No words will ever be able to express how grateful we are that we had Rachael and her team to help pull our day together! Being from the Northern Territory and getting married in QLD, we knew from the beginning we would need a helping hand but felt unsure about asking for help from someone who we couldn’t meet face to face regularly. But from the moment we met Rachael we knew we’d made the right decision – she was just lovely and made us feel so comfortable, we were instantly confident in her ability to turn our vision onto a reality. We changed our plans so often and Rachael was ever patient and understanding the entire way through, we love her for that. Rachael is a true professional, her styling is impeccable and her positive attitude toward everything is infectious.
On the day, I felt more than safe and in no way at all concerned that the day would be anything less than perfect because I knew I had The Events Lounge team behind the scenes making sure everything ran smoothly. We’ve had nothing but compliments from our guests who have all said it was one of the best weddings they’ve been to and that the styling was gorgeous. I can’t speak highly enough of Rachael. Thank you, thank you, thank you Rachael and team, you made our day one of the most magical and unforgettable days, ever!
From the first tea, I shared with Rachael I knew she was the perfect fit. She too is a perfectionist, and a hugger.
Matt and I wanted an intimate, romantic, bohemian garden style wedding where everyone could relax and enjoy themselves. From the welcome drinks on arrival to dancing our hearts out under the tipi our Wedding was perfect! And exceeded all expectations.
Rach we cannot thankyou enough, you were a much needed calming influence from the start, always warm and genuine. Your attention to detail is like nothing else and you pour so much love into every event you create. Your timing was impeccable, and the communication on the day insured our wedding went off without a hitch.
October 2, 2016 was by far the best of days, a day we wish we could revisit time and time again.
Thankyou x
Luke and I were at a crossroads in our wedding plans when we were introduced to Rachael at The Events Lounge. We can’t recommend Rachael and her team more highly – She was such a pleasure to work alongside from start to finish. Rachael’s talent, passion, enthusiasm, originality, eye for detail & knowledge of the industry was always so transparent – we knew we were in great hands! On the day of our wedding – all we honestly had to do was just show up. Everything had already been taken care of or planned out to the tenth degree. Everything ran so seamlessly on the day – staff were so diligent and professional.
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for helping us bring our fairytale to life.
When Ted and I became engaged I was already feeling overwhelmed between full-time work and completing my university degree full-time so I knew I couldn’t organise a wedding without any help.
I had previously attended a family wedding where I knew The Events Lounge’s services where used and I was in such awe with the beauty of the event, I knew I didn’t want any one else to look after our special day.
It was such a pleasure to experience the planning journey with Rachael’s brilliantly creative mind as well as her extremely useful supply of vendors who created our dreams into a reality. It wasn’t without stress, which I now know all weddings experience due to the complexity of bringing so many factors together into one day however Rachael and her team handled them like absolute professionals which enabled me to enjoy the entire process regardless.
Reliving the photos of the day is such a treat – I still have a big smile appear whenever I see The Events Lounge or another bridal account feature our wedding details on their Instagram page!
We cannot thank The Events Lounge enough for all of their efforts, their planning process is so detailed with fantastic planning tools where we felt comfortably guided throughout the entire time whislt still maintaining our individual sense of style.
It truly was the best day of our lives!
Originally we hadn’t planned to use a wedding planner at all. However as I began to list all the things we needed to organize, I realized it would not be an easy job! The main question that kept coming up was, how will we co-ordinate the day and enjoy it at the same time?
Though our wedding was on one property, we had four different locations to visit. In all honesty, it would have been impossible for us to co-ordinate the day without The Events Lounge. It was so great that we, as well as our parents could relax on the day without having to think about who was going to gather the guests and direct them to the next location.
After meeting with Rachael and discussing the styling of the wedding, I also realized I was no expert when it came to organizing the vendors! After I showed her only a few pictures of what I was looking for, she automatically understood and every option she showed me from that moment on fit my vision perfectly.
It was so great knowing Rachael was there at anytime to answer questions that no one else could. She went out of her way to make our day special, helping us with minor details that weren’t even in her job description!
I can honestly look back on our day and say not one thing went wrong. In truth, of course minor things went wrong, but Rachael was there to save the day, we just didn’t know!
Me and Marty always knew we wanted our wedding to be special – filled with love, laughter and dancing. We had such a united view on the feeling we wanted to create and we really wanted our day to be personalised and reflect who we are as a couple.
Once I started looking into planning our day, I knew I needed help – I really had no idea where to start. The ideas were forming, but I needed someone to bring them to life. This is where Rachael came in. From the moment we met her, we knew she was the event planner we needed. Her professionalism and incredible work ethic is matched by her genuine love and passion of all things wedding. She made us feel like no request was too silly, she was always on hand to discuss ideas and soothe any concerns – and her genuine excitement for our wedding made the planning of our day so much fun and so exciting! Her drive to ensure our wedding dream became a reality is something we will always be in awe of!
Rachael put us in contact with so many talented, fun, like-minded people to join our wedding dream team, we were so lucky to meet and work with such a fabulous group of individuals who together helped create our magical day.
From our adorable personalised wedding invitations to espresso martini’s on arrival – the attention to detail and gorgeous personalised touches that filled our day made every moment magical.
Our wedding was the best day of our lives and the fun we shared surpassed our expectations, it was even more amazing than we ever could have imaged. Thanks Rach, you are the best x
Our wedding was possibly on the worst weather day of the year. It was windy, raining and then the floods came to join us. I have not worked with such a more beautiful and experienced team. They handled all our issues with calm, ease and got the job done. I feel extremely lucky to have found The Events Lounge to help me plan and deliver our wedding. One of our big goals were ‘ guest satisfaction’. From the feedback, compliments and thank you’s we have received. It truly shows that we ticked off that goal! We couldn’t have done it without you guys!!! Very grateful!!
