Rachel Vitagliano Events 
Rating: 5.0 (7 reviews)
Rutland, VT
  • Planner
  • Offers 4 services
  • Starts at $3,500

Hey there! I’m Rachel, founder and principal planner at RVE, and I’m not your average wedding planner. I launched my planning company in 2022 from the mountains of Vermont, after years in the wedding industry learning, growing, and honing my craft. Around here, we do things a little differently. I believe wedding planning should feel like a celebration, not a stress test—and that’s where my signature style of laid-back luxury comes in!

Awarded Best of Zola
TLDR: Hire Rachel, she is excellent at her job and will make all your event dreams come true! Throughout the year leading up to my wedding, the question I got the most was “is the wedding planning stressful?” And my reply, every single time, was “no, because I have the most amazing wedding planner.” I cannot recommend Rachel Vitagliano Events enough. She planned our wedding, which was a double feature including a picnic ceremony at the lake in the morning followed by an 80s Prom reception in the evening. Two very different vibes, a lot to coordinate, plan, and decorate, and Rachel and her team went above and beyond every step of the way. We had meetings every couple months throughout the year, and Rachel always had an answer to every question, never missing a beat. She has an online portal that made organization easy and pleasant. She has amazing ideas and vision. Any time I got overwhelmed, she was immediately able to ease my concerns and I felt so much better after every time we spoke. For the Prom reception, that took place at the City Hall, the only thing we gave her was a color scheme and a Pinterest board. From that she created a mesmerizing portal through time that made every single guests’ jaws drop. People could not stop talking about how amazing it looked. For reference, see the pictures below – the sparkling, dreamlike Prom compared to how it looked the NEXT DAY, set up for a local vote. These photos are also a testament to how fast and thorough her team’s clean up was! The fire alarm even went off in the middle of the reception, and I had no idea that Rachel spent almost an hour trouble shooting and dealing with the fire department (there was no fire). I didn’t even know this was going on—she goes above and beyond to deal with the stress so that her clients have the perfect time. Rachel brought all of our dreams to life and somehow made them even better than we imagined. She is so incredibly good at every aspect of her job. My wedding was perfect and an absolute dream, in large part because of Rachel. Hiring her will be the best decision you could make for your event planning!!

Glad you're here. I'd like to tell you a little bit about myself, so when it's time for us to talk, I get to hear all about YOU! I live with my family in the beautiful mountains of Vermont. I feel so blessed to call this state home, it is so incredibly beautiful here.

Nicole was a dream to work with, delivering luxury, timeless photos that will allow us to relive our special day for years to come. The included engagement shoot helped us feel comfortable in front of the camera. On our wedding day, Nicole and her second shooter thoughtfully considered our shot list to ensure we captured all the moments that mattered most to us. We were also grateful she was able to accommodate our last-minute request for additional coverage without any trouble, allowing us to fully immerse ourselves in the celebration.

Blush Vermont

Rutland, VT
  • Beauty professional
  • Team of 12
  • Starts at $900

Our team specializes in luxury on-site hair and makeup for weddings, creating timeless, personalized looks that photograph beautifully and last all day. From soft, romantic styles to full glam, we tailor every detail to enhance your natural beauty and match your wedding vision. With years of experience serving brides across Vermont and beyond, we pride ourselves on professionalism, calm energy, and seamless timelines so you can relax and enjoy every moment of your day. Whether you’re planning an intimate celebration or a full bridal party glam session, Blush is dedicated to making you feel confident, radiant, and completely taken care of.

The team at Blush was absolutely amazing for our wedding at Mountain Top Resort! From our very first communication, they were professional, highly organized, and incredibly easy to work with. On the morning of the wedding, they came directly to our getting-ready suite at the resort. Eliminating the need to travel to a salon made our morning feel so relaxed, seamless, and entirely stress-free. The artists arrived early, set up efficiently, and were incredibly punctual with their timeline. They did a phenomenal job on hair and makeup for myself, my bridesmaids, our flower girl, and my mother in law. What impressed me most was how attentive they were to everyone's individual preferences. They listened carefully to what each person wanted, tailored the looks perfectly, and made sure everyone felt confident and beautiful. Everyone looked absolutely stunning, and the quality of their work speaks for itself. Our hair and makeup held up flawlessly all day and night—which was no small feat, considering that we actually experienced a surprise bout of hail during our outdoor ceremony, followed by hours of dancing on a completely packed dance floor at the reception. Despite the wild weather and the sweat from dancing, not a single curl fell out of place, and our makeup stayed totally fresh without needing touch-ups. If you want a professional, talented, and reliable glam team for your big day, I highly recommend Blush!

Eightzero2 Productions was an exceptional choice for my daughter’s wedding videography. From our first interaction, Amanda demonstrated a professional, calm and prompt communication style that immediately put us at ease.

I can’t say enough wonderful things about True VT Beauty! Leisel was amazing to work with — she went over all the details with me ahead of time and made me feel so comfortable during my trial. She really listened to what I wanted and made sure my hair and makeup matched my vision perfectly. On the wedding day, Leisel and her two assistants were total pros. They showed up on time, worked efficiently, and made the whole morning fun and relaxed. They did hair and makeup for me, 8 bridesmaids, 2 moms, and my sister-in-law — everyone looked absolutely beautiful and felt great. My own hair and makeup came out exactly how I hoped and lasted all night long! It was so convenient having one team handle both hair and makeup, and I loved how easy they were to communicate with.

We had our September 2024 wedding at FF and let me tell you, this place and these owners are special. Farmhouse Flowers was the first and only venue we looked at. From the beginning, Thomas (co-owner) was so patient with all of our questions. We immediately got the sense that he cared about us and our event. He even gave us suggestions for how we should word certain things when speaking to different venues! Working with the FF team in the months leading up to your wedding is stress free. They get everything organized and set up for your event far in advance and are so easy to work with. They are flexible and are willing to do anything they can to make your event perfect. In the week leading up to our event, Bridget (co-owner) went into labor and had a baby. She was literally at the venue the NEXT DAY setting up flowers to make sure our event was on track. They showed no signs of stress and just continued to blow us away. The day before our wedding, Thomas was at the property assisting us with anything and everything. The only word I can use to describe our wedding day is perfect. The entire property comes together to create such a beautiful environment for the wedding party and the guests. The house on the property is perfect for getting ready or for providing lodgings for vendors. The ceremony spot is STUNNING, it overlooks fields of beautiful flowers, the barn, and beautiful Vermont landscapes. Our reception was such a hit. There are so many things for guests to do throughout the day. They can play with cutie animals, sit by the pond, enjoy the firepit, stroll through the garden, play cornhole, or dance the night away. If you are looking for a rustic New England vibe wedding, look no further. This venue and the owners will make your wedding day absolutely unforgettable.

Corinne photographed our September 2024 wedding and we are so incredibly happy we chose her!!! From the beginning, working with her felt so personal. She took the time to get to know us, our vision, and our story. She was incredibly helpful in crafting a timeline for the wedding day, and we were able to pull off a very ambitious/adventurous first look, and still get all the other pictures we wanted! She figured out so many little details for us, and was so thoughtful in the sentimental shots and items she included. She is an excellent guide with posing, a great person to have by your side to fix jewelry, hair, or your veil (about 15 times in my case), all while staying calm, cool and collected. She found opportunities to grab photos I'd have never thought of, and is more than happy to find beautiful ways to make your ideas happen!! She did so much work behind the scenes making sure every detail was recorded, which meant so much to us. All the decorations around the reception, the ceremony site, and more are beautifully photographed so we can go back and remember them. Also, she gave us a great mix of posed, formal photos, and candid, in the moment photos. Our gallery feels so authentic and she really captured the feel and the joy of the day!!! I absolutely loved having an engagement session included in the packaged. She was down for an adventure, and we got to get photos in a place that was very special to us! It also gave us a chance to get comfortable in front of the camera, and develop a relationship with her, so when the wedding day came along, we weren't worried about meeting someone new or figuring out posing on our own.

20/10 recommend getting married on the Mountain Top! The venue in and of itself is a DREAM. The staff and servers went above and beyond. Shout out to the events coordinator manager, Danny, who quite literally was always smiling and checking in on us our entire wedding weekend. My husband and I live out in Seattle, but we’re both from Massachusetts. We wanted somewhere in New England that has that rugged mountain landscape, but also somewhere everyone could join us for the whole weekend. I’m so obsessed with it here, can’t WAIT to come back! We used Meadows Edge Florals for our flowers/decorations, and I have nothing but AMAZING things to say about Gayle and her team. We used Juniper Studios for photography and Angela and Idena’s talents are something I can’t even put into words. Best decisions I’ve ever made.

Our wedding at Sugarbush was perfect. We worked with Carolann who was extremely easy to work with, professional, and made the day of feel completely seamless. We got married in the Claybrook courtyard, held cocktail hour outside Gatehouse, reception inside Gatehouse, and had an after party in the pub. Every detail was excellent - bar service, food, and the team's ability to bring my half baked vision to life. They handled all my questions, last minute requests, and day of coordination. We stayed on-site and our guests loved the hotel. The large suites were great for getting ready and hanging out post events. As the bride, all I had to do was show up where Carolann told me to be and I had the best day. I know there was a whole team working behind the scenes to make that possible and I am so grateful.

When I first started wedding photography, I made a goal of being more than just the photographer on your big day. I made it my goal to be your friend, someone you can crack inside jokes with, and someone who isn't afraid to get down + have fun at the reception (while still doing her job). I made it my goal to capture more than just photos, but an experience. Whether it’s high in the mountains, on a beach near the ocean, in a forest meadow - you deserve to get married however you want to & I want to capture it for you.

From the moment we started planning our wedding, Lexi from Hazel & Spice Photography was always quick to respond to our questions and concerns. She takes her job seriously and goes above and beyond to capture the shots that any bride dreams of having. On the day of our wedding, she showed up early and helped our bartender set up the last-minute charcuterie cups while I was finishing my hair—that's just who she is. Lexi wasn't just our photographer; she became a friend to us. Her work is incredible and her dedication to making our day special really stood out. We can't recommend her enough. And the results of her work, our photos from our special day turned out breath taking! Chose Lexi you will never be disappointed!

Karli's attention to detail and passion for her craft really shone through in every aspect of our experience. We couldn't be happier with the contribution Sweet Vermont Treats made to making our special day so memorable.

Awarded Best of Zola
I cannot say enough good things about Wild Fern! Cassie and Chelsea bring decades of wedding planning experience and it shows! Everything they do is filled with intention - from the fact that they only take on two weddings a month, to how they divide tasks on wedding day, to the cadence of check-ins during the planning process. I hired Wild Fern to help me with the last three months of planning through our wedding weekend, and Cassie was there to support not only with logistics and vendor meetings, but also with the stress of it all. She anticipated my needs and questions before I could even ask them. I truly don't know if I could have kept my head while crossing the finish line if it weren't for Cassie. Everyone kept commenting how calm I was as a bride on our wedding day, and it was truly because I trusted Cassie and Chelsea and knew they would execute my vision to a T. If you're looking for a high-touch, well-organized planning team with strong vendor relationships, look no further than Wild Fern. As a bonus, they also have a sister business, Wild Fern Rentals, and offer some really stunning statement rentals that will transform your space. I've said to multiple people that hiring them was the best wedding-related purchase I made, and not only did we have a beautiful wedding weekend, but we gained Cassie as a friend for life.

Vermont Bridal Beauty

  • Beauty professional
  • Starts at $1,250
  • Serves Rutland, VT

Bridal hair and makeup is a specialized skill - it needs to withstand many hours of happy tears, hugs, dancing, and, of course, dinner and drinks. With over a decade of experience in bridal beauty, Amanda has perfected how to create timeless looks that photograph beautifully and look incredible in person. Her passion for hair and makeup dates back to childhood Barbie spa days. After becoming a licensed cosmetologist everything began to come together when she began to do bridal work. Her love for hair and makeup connected seamlessly and she now focuses her energy in the beauty realm solely on bridal beauty.

VBB was truly EVERYTHING I could have hoped for and more. They are artists in every sense of the word. From start to finish of working with Amanda and Hilary every single person felt confident, calm, and taken care of - not to mention BEAUTIFUL! They 100% accomplished the look and feel I was going for: elevated yet natural and, most importantly, like myself. Not only was their hair and make up absolute perfection for every single person, but their energy in the room that morning was so relaxed and easy to be around. They were also such great sports with any feedback / touch-ups / adjustments that came up at the trial throughout the wedding day. Could not recommend them more!!! THANK YOU Amanda and Hilary!!!!

Awarded Best of Zola
We were so thrilled with the work WBWeddings did for our wedding. They were a huge support on the day of, even allowing my husband to control the drone when he wanted to! It was wonderful to get drone shots of the ceremony, venue, and overall wedding, and Ben's responsiveness throughout and during the editing process was amazing. Video is one of the things we were on the fence about when we needed to save money throughout planning, but now having seen the final result and being able to reflect on it for years to come, it was EASILY worth it. We were so happy with the final result, and felt it was absolutely worth it. 10/10 would recommend!

  • Serves Rutland, VT

Garren Poirier is the name and I CAN'T say I've been into photography since my dad gave me a camera back in 1982. I started getting interested in photography in 2004 after I bought my first camera for a trip across the pacific to Indonesia. From that point I was obsessed with taking pictures. I immersed myself in learning about photography through books, the internet and trial and error. My true passion in the beginning was landscape which I believed helped me with other aspects of photography, I love finding new ways to look at the world.

Awarded Best of Zola
We had the pleasure of working with Garren at Reading Farms Estate during Agatha and Bartek’s wedding day, and we had such an incredible experience with him and his team. Garren is not only fun and creative, he’s truly passionate about what he does, and couples immediately connect with his energy. He has an incredible ability to stay focused while adapting seamlessly to every moment, ensuring that every small and significant detail is captured with intention. His photography style goes far beyond creating images; it’s art. The way he plays with dark and light contrasts while highlighting the soft shimmer of colors is both beautiful and unmistakably his own. We highly recommend Garren’s artistic expertise and cannot wait to create more beauty together here at our beloved estate. Thank you for all the memories.
