Wedding & Event Coordination
Calm, competent wedding coordination
Have you been planning your own wedding, and looking for information about help with planning or day-of coordination? Or maybe you just need a little bit of help figuring out some specific details for your wedding?
You're in the right place!
I can help with course-corrections in the middle of the planning process, or I can provide partial planning support to make sure everything is in place & we're ready for the wedding. Visit the SERVICES page to learn more about coordination & consultation packages.
Looking for help with another kind of event?
I am happy to work on whatever event you have in mind - I have experience planning anything from baby showers for 40 people to public festivals for 400+. Send me an email, and let's chat about what you have in mind!
You can also fill out the contact form on the INQUIRIES page.

Kinship & Company in the news!
Hooray! Kinship & Company won a 2019 Couples' Choice Award from Wedding Wire - I have loved working with so many wonderful couples over the past 5 years, and am so excited for all the couples I have yet to meet!
Kinship & Co. is thrilled to have been a part of a wedding that was featured on the Junebug wedding blog in 2017!
It was an honor to have been a part of Whitney and Jared's wedding in Ellis Hollow, and to work with so many other great vendors to make their day a success.
(This is also the perfect photo of a true upstate NY wedding - beautifully overcast, lush & vibrant greens as far as the eye can see...)

"It's easy to let the words "my wedding planner was the best!" roll out of your mouth, but truly: Rachel's unique combination of poise, organization, humor, talent, communication skills, and aesthetic leaning were absolutely what made my wedding and saved my sanity.
One year later I can still feel the gratitude for her presence and hard work just as viscerally as the day of my wedding."
-Michelle R. (2015 Wedding)
