I married my soul mate just last week, and we had our share of horrible vendors who just wanted our money and didn't care about our special day. Jessie at Rachel A. Clingen was AMAZING! There really is NOTHING bad I can say about her and the Rachel A. Clingen crew! Jessie met with me on several occasions and I just got an amazing vibe from her every time. She genuinely cares about what she does, everything she promised, she delivered and she had a solution for every problem I threw at her. I gave them an idea for our center pieces and they ran with it, and created something more beautiful then I could have imagined. You can check out the pictures on their Facebook page (February 25th @ The Royal Ambassador in Caledon, On) Thanks so much to this amazing crew! Bruno and I are so happy and we would not have changed anything, Thanks again, Sarah and Bruno Rego

I married my best friend on Dec 3, 2011 at Le Parc Banquet hall in Concord, and Rachel and her team made all my visions come to life!! The decor for the venue and the church were more then i could of dreamed off. Meeting with Jessy was a pleasure every time, and she made my winter wonderland come to life. We got so many compliments about the decor from all the guest, the dj, even the venue... Thank you so much Rachel and Jessy for making my fairy tale a true happily ever after!!!

Rachel Clingen Wedding and Event Design was an incredible partner to plan our wedding with. Rachel is professional and responsive and has an incredible vision. She is very experienced and knowledgeable about decor, floral and event execution. I would recommend her to anyone planning a wedding or event. Her team is responsive, detail oriented and consultative. Everything you need when planning a wedding. We didn't think twice about hiring her after our first meeting. She understood our vision and helped us make it happen. Our wedding was a dream and it wouldn't have been as special without her and her team.

Rachel is amazing! I trusted her to give us not only something beautiful that you could see, but something you could feel. I was sure that everything would be wonderful, but when I saw the ceremony room at the Gibson Center in Alliston, where my daughter and her husband were married last Sat. Oct 1, I was overwhelmed! Rachel and her team.......I highly recommend!

Words cannot express how beautiful the venue looked when we walked in. The place had the most magical ambience, set the exact feel and exceeded our expectations to no end. It was unbelievably beautiful and we had so many compliments, it truely was spectacular. I have no hesitations to work with Jessy and her team at Rachel Clingen again, and will definitely use them when my other two sons get married. Jessy was amazing and guided us, answered all questions we had and made the whole process so stress free. She is an amazing person, takes pride in her work, excellent customer service and her experience is phenomenal! I would recommend this vendor to all future brides...you will definitely not be disappointed!!

Rachel and her team were a pleasure to work with. They responded quickly to all my emails and questions, and were very flexible with all the last minute changes my husband and I made to our day. Jessy and Rachel were friendly, approachable and had a great eye for detail. Our day was absolutely beautiful and I would recommend this team to anyone. They were efficient, and able to steer us in the right direction when we needed some guidance. You will not be disappointed!

I married my best friend on September 10th, 2011 at The Raven @ Lora Bay Golf Course in Thornbury, Ontario. The setting was trees and nature - charming & green. We wanted to focus on a tree theme which in my head called for real tree stump centerpices! Not too much to ask I thought. After being turned away from every florist in town, I finally found Jessy! The word no does not exist in her vocabulary, she got my vision like she was inside my head. I have worked with a number of vendors during events when it comes to decor at a largly known venue in Collingwood and I can tell you from expereince Racheal A Clingen Wedding and Event Design surpasses all others. The professionalism is unmatched, they are extremly aware of budget requirments, and they give you a worry free experience during the entire planning stages. Jessy had a tall order to fill, not only did I ask for trees but I also put her against a two hour flip time at the venue! To Jessy this wasn't even an issue she was so confident in her team she didn't even break stride. During the planning stages I was always throughing new ideas and flowers choices at Jessy and she too would brainstorm creative ideas or color choices, while all at the same time alway keeping me on track and on budget. Rachel A Clingen is a team of true professionals, they are an inspirational team that create beauitful dreams and images. Planning a wedding is difficult and you only get one shot. Don't think twice about anyone else as Rachel A Clingen is the right decision from begining to end.

My husband and I got married on August 27, 2011 at Fort Henry in Kingston Ontario. The setting was a 19th century limestone fort - very grand and epic, but basically a blank slate. We wanted to bring a bit of softness and modernism to this historic site to make a classic and elegant event. Using Rachel Clingen and her team was amazing!!! I would highly highly highly recommend this to any bride and groom who want a wedding that people will talk about for years to come. I knew that on the day of I didn't want to have to worry about setting up decor, making sure everything was in order and looking after each detail. I needed a team who I knew I could trust and that they would bring my vision to life - Rachel Clingen was the right choice. On the day of the wedidng I was completely relaxed and able to enjoy every moment without a hint of worry that something wasn't going right at the venue. When we pulled up and I got to see the ceremony site and reception site for the first time - I was speechless. Everything was even better than I had envisioned. I chose simple colours - ivory, champagne, greens and gold, and wanted draping, crystals and candles to be the accents. Everyone from my wedding is saying that it was straight out of a magazine! The whole process was fantastic. Rachels team was phenomonal to work with. Jessy Toomy was my consultant - and was such a pleasure. I emailed throughout the entire year with new ideas, additions etc, and Jessy was so great to chat to, bounce ideas off and talk things through. She was great at giving her professional opinion and helping me make the right choices for the vision. In terms of value - worth every penny!! If you want a wedidng to be spectacular and effortless then hire Rachel Clingen.

RACHEL MAKES YOUR DREAMS COME TRUE. When i first met Rachel to discuss our August 2011 wedding this spring, i instantly knew that she possessed the passion, dedication and know-how to make our special day exactly what we were looking for. With my husband's career as custom home designer and me in PR and events we had high-expectaions and a long list of demands. Rachel and her team came through on every detail finding a way to satisfy both of us. Our head table seated 24 guests and was right out of a vanity fair shoot. All of our guests were in awe, saying it was the prettiest wedding they had even been to. Thank you rachel and your team for being so awesome.

When my husband (!)and I first became engaged neither one of us really had a "vision" of what we wanted our special day to look like. We would spend hours online looking at various decor ideas, until we had a couple ideas... all we knew was that we wanted a "crystal" theme and a manzanita tree. One day when I was talking to my husband's sister, she mentioned Rachel. My husband's sister had used Rachel for her decor 8 years ago. We immediately loooked up Rachel's website and Facebook page. We were astounded by all the creative decor and floral ideas and immediately called to schedule an appointment. At our first appointment with Rachel, we let her know our two ideas and she turned them into an entire theme!! We couldn't believe how incredibly creative Rachel was and how many ideas she was able to come up with in such a short amount of time. We knew we would be in good hands and immediately booked Rachel. When we met with Rachel to go over the details of our ceremony and reception, she had even more ideas and turned what would of already been a great day into a spectacular day! On the day of the wedding, I have to admit that I was excited to walk down the aisle. The most important reason was of course to marry my husband but I also couldn't wait to see what Rachel had done with the decor in the church. I walked down the aisle at St. George's Greek Orthodox Church and was overwhelmed trying to take everything in..from the aisle decor to the topiary balls in silver urns on the plexi stands to my lovely husband waiting for me at the end of the aisle. Everything looked amazing! Family and friends commented that they have never seen our church look soo beautiful before. That was just the beginning! Throughout the planning process, my husband and I talked about how amazing it would feel walking into our reception at the Rosewater Room for the first time. We could never have imagined what we felt when we walked in! There was a gorgeous silver manzanita tree draped with crystals, crystal tea light holders and flowers to welcome our guests. AND Rachel was there! She waited for us to arrive to go through the room with us to make sure we were 110% happy! Talk about service! When we walked into our main room we were truly taken back. Everything looked absolutely amazing right down to the smallest detail. Working with Rachel and Jessy was absolutely amazing. Throughout the entire process they provided exceptional service, suggested great ideas, always responded promptly to all questions, and the service on the day of was amazing. Anyone who bookes with Rachel and Jessy can rest assure that they will not have any worries on their special day! Thank you Rachel and Jessy! Karen&Tom

My name is Kimberly, and my husband Nathan and I decided to hire Rachel and her team for our July 9th wedding at the Arcadian Court in Downtown Toronto. We first got Rachel's name because we were blown away by her work at another wedding we attended - the decor was so gorgeous we just had to get her details! When we got engaged, Rachel was the FIRST person we hired, even before a photographer, and before we had even finalized the venue! Of all of the vendors we had, Rachel was the best decision we could have made. From the very first consultation, we already felt like Rachel 'understood' us. She made a point of getting to know us and our sense of style so she could design something unique and specific. We just loved how excited she would get over the details of our wedding, it made us feel so cared about and like our wedding would be something truly special. And it was! The wedding decor was something out of a fairy tale! The first time I saw it I was absolutely in awe and couldn't stop smiling the rest of the night!!! The centrepieces, head table, bridal flowers, backdrop, were absolutely everything I could have dreamed of. Just like something out of a magazine. It wasn't just the big details that Rachel got right... it was all the little details from the corsages, to the crystal package on our head table, even my bouquet had little diamonds inside! So detailed! Rachel was there every step of the way for us: If we wanted to discuss something she was always available to chat and give us advice or feedback. It's so obvious that Rachel loves her work, and she really had the same excitement for our wedding that we had ourselves. Now THAT's something you want in a designer:-) Thank you Rachel for making our wedding an absolute dream come true!! xoxo Kimberly and Nathan.

We got married on June 25, 2011 in Brantford, ON in an outdoor 100' x 60' tent. The planning started many many months in advance, and Rachel was absolutely amazing with getting an understanding of our thoughts for the look and feel of the reception. What we both loved most about Rachel and her team is they first listened to us, and then made suggestions on how to improve our ideas! Truly professional. We have had nothing but people ranting and raving about how amazing our tent looked. From the floral designs to the drapery to the LED lighting, everything was exactly what we had dreamed it would be! Thanks again Rachel and team! Amy & Marc V.

Rachel Clingen was the best thing that ever happened to me. I was blown away at how special she made my hall look. She worked with me so well, from my budget to my colour schemes everything was perfect. If your looking for someone to do it all , she is the lady to call. I would highly highly recommend her to anybody!! She helped make my day the most beautiful it could be all within my budget. Her response time to my calls and emails was immediate, and was super friendly and helpful in all of her work. My flowers were fantastic and I still have people complimenting me on all my decor. My day wouldn't have been as special without her. Thank- you to Rachel and Jesse for all of your hard work!!!

We got married at The Country Club (in Woodbridge) May 7, 2011 and Rachel A Clingen did the floral and decor for the wedding. They were amazing! From the consultations to the actual ceremony and reception everything was flawless. Jessy is amazing to work with and goes out of her way to make sure your day is phenomenal. The flowers and decor were stunning and the service was unbelievable. It was a pleasure to work with them! We had innumerable compliments on the look of our wedding and it was all thanks to them! Worth every penny!!!!! If you are looking for an incredible experience with great value this is the vendor to use!!!! AMAZING!

My husband and I had our wedding at Liberty Grand in the Artifacts Room. We came to Rachel with very specific Colours and details in mind months before the wedding. Within 30 minutes of meeting Rachel, I felt at ease and she truly understood our vision. Rachel truly made our dreams a reality! She provided her relentless efforts in delivering every little detail down to perfection. She is talented, full spirited, easy going and is a great listener. She took every measure to ensure we were happy with all the details and always made herself available at all times. In the end, she went above above and beyond! Truly an unforgettable experience! Brides, we all stress for things to pan out perfectly on our big day, but try to relax and enjoy the moment. Always be thankful for family and friends that stand by you. It's a blessing to have loved ones support and love you the whole way through. Most importantly, have fun! :)

At the time when my husband and I were looking for a decorator for our wedding, we knew we wanted a beautiful and unique wedding that would speak for itself and that's exactly what Rachel A. Clingen Wedding, Event and Seasonal Design  gave us! We were referred to her by a friend who's wedding she had also done and she did a magnificent job! So we were hooked immediately! One of the things I also liked best about R.A.C. was that she doesn't stay hidden behind her company name, rather you speak and meet with and consult with her, so you get to see everything upfront and personal and feel confidant about who's taking care of your special day. She keeps up with her website and blog so you just don't see one or two beautiful weddings but many beautiful weddings all unique to it's own and yet your very own wedding will also be unique and one of a kind!  Our ceremony and reception took place on Saturday, May 15, 2010 and it was the most beautiful decoration we had ever seen. Rachel captured timeless beauty, elegance and magnificent details in which to this day our guests still speak of our wedding! I recommend Rachel A. Clingen to any future bride who is looking for a reputable company, perfection, affordability and absolute beauty and elegance to book their wedding with R.A.C. There isn't any other out there like her!  Still ecstatic or our fabulous wedding! Cassandra and Steven M.

Rachel was extremely helpful when it came to planning what we needed and wanted for the wedding. She's incredibly experienced, and is way more than your average florist. Her decorating abilities are second-to-none, and she made us feel as though our wedding was the most important thing she had to do. Highly highly recommended!
