our sole focus is on you and planning your event.
while we are more than happy to help you source rentals, we ourselves do not have any to rent.
Trust us though, we have countless trusted rental companies who we have had personal experience with and can ensure you get exactly what you are looking for your event design.
do you own rentals?
One of the things our clients love about booking with us is access to our exclusive curated vendor list. we have researched and worked with some of the best wedding vendors in the greater nashville area and are happy to provide our list of recommendations once you have booked your event with us.
if you are in the research phase of planning and are not ready to hire a professional planner, then google is a great resource. do some research, read reviews, and schedule some meetings to find the right vendor for you. just remember, if you ever get overwhelmed, we are happy to schedule a consultation with you to discuss what services we can help you with.
Can you provide me with a vendor recommendation?
We are happy to help you plan all events of any size.
Some events that we have planned in the past include QUINCEAÑERA, bAR mitzvah, ELOPEMENT, REHEARSAL DINNER, BAT MITZVAH, ENGAGEMENT PARTY, BIRTHDAYS, BABY SHOWER, ANNIVERSARy parties, CORPORATE events, HOLIDAY PARTIES, MICRO WEDDINGS, GALAS, FAMILY & CLASS REUNIONS, DESTINATION WEDDINGS, and NONPROFIT EVENTS.
do you only plan weddings?
paper payment options include cash, cashiers checks, money orders and checks. payment should be made out to weddings and events by raina, LLC and mailed to 107 W Lytle St, Murfreesboro, TN 37130.
digital payment options include credit card, venmo and paypal.
what methods of payment do you accept?
to retain our services for planning your event we require a signed contract and a 30% retainer.
how do i book your services?
The number of our team members on site for your event day varies based on your planning package and the number of guests attending.
we ensure that our team members are professional planners who have trained with weddings & events by raina and have experience in the event industry, they are not only assistants. They are professional event planners.
how many staff will you have?
after decades of experience, we know what services our clients need to have confidence in their events and for them to have the best planning experience.
in such, we have curated each of our event planning packages to reflect those needs so you should not need to have any further customization requests. if you have additional events surrounding your main event we are happy to add more planning services onto a package.
Do you customize packages?
absolutely! we are more than happy to set up a consultation time to chat with you and answer any questions.
if you have a busy schedule or are not local, we are available to video chat or discuss your event planning needs on the phone.
can i meet with you before we hire you?
We provide you with vendor recommendations based on what you are looking for, your budget, and which professionals we think would be the best fit for you.
However, you are not required to only use vendors we recommend.
do we have to use your vendors?
Weddings often come with other smaller gatherings the week of or month of the wedding. it is common for us to plan rehearsal dinners, welcoming brunches, bridal showers, and other such events.
some of our planning packages already include this service within them, but you can also add on this event planning coverage a la carte by letting us know you need help - after all, that's what we're here for!
can you help us with other events near our date?
we require a cancellation contract in writing. please refer to your contract for specifics or contact us with any questions.
All postponements must be made in writing and require a new contract. this may incur a date change fee of $300 or more.
what are your cancellation and rescheduling policies?
final payment is due 30 days prior to your event.
when is my final payment due?
no, we do not require a minimum event budget to hire our services.
do you have a minimum?
We are happy to offer a military discount to active and retired military. we also offer a discount for police and firefighters.
This discount is only available to the contracted clients or their parents/guardian.
do you offer any discounts?
Yes, we carry a $1,000,000 insurance policy which we are happy to provide upon request to your selected venue.A one time fee of $30 will be applied to your final invoice if your selected venue requires an additional policy naming them as an additional insured. This does not take place of "day-of" event insurance required by some venues.
do you carry insurance?
