Slauer Events, Atlanta Georgia Wedding Planner, Raleigh, North Carolina Wedding Planners, Event Planning North Carolina South Carolina.png

Hi there! I'm Rachel.

Slauer Events & Design is a Raleigh wedding planner, serving Raleigh and the greater Triangle in North Carolina. While we value strong aesthetics and unique visual elements, our service is focused on loving and leading our clients well. We combine 10 years of industry experience with honesty, gentleness, and genuine friendship to guide our clients from engagement to wedding with ease. I’d be honored to hear your story, get to know you, and walk alongside you as we plan such a meaningful day.

My own love for wedding planning began when I got engaged to my high school sweetheart, Ryan, in 2013. For over a year, I researched, chose colors and menus, built relationships with local vendors, set timelines, and designed floor plans. I loved every second of it. We hoped for all these pieces to come together as a cohesive celebration of our love for one another and our love for our families. Even more deeply, we hoped our wedding would be an embodiment of God’s love. After our big day was over, I was not ready to stop planning. Thus, Slauer Events was born!

As I’ve planned and designed for clients over the years, I’ve found that I’m drawn to all things natural, organic, timeless, and effortless. I love to add a pop of color or statement pattern to keep the design interesting. I’ve always had a soft spot for spring time garden parties, but ballroom weddings have recently become a favorite of mine, too. Think we might be a good fit? Let’s plan your wedding!

PS- Slauer Events was started in Atlanta, GA, and we continue to love the Peach state. We are back in Atlanta many times per year, allowing us to offer reduced travel fees for this city. ATL couples, please don't hesitate to get in touch!

Meet Danielle!

Danielle Appleman has been an amazing addition to Slauer Events as our first associate lead planner. She began working with us back in 2016 as a day-of assistant, and has since grown into a poised and competent lead planner herself. She always leaves clients impressed with her friendly spirit, endless work ethic and
eye for detail.

She is married to her longtime love, Matt, and lives with him and their pup Bucky near Atlanta, GA. In her spare time, she enjoys riding horses, hiking, and trying new restaurants.

While Danielle plans and coordinates weddings of many different styles, her own personal taste can be described as timeless with a hint of southern charm. She is especially drawn to personal touches, and loves helping couples execute those details on wedding day.
