HI! I'M ACHAEL
R
With a dream of being in event planning since high school but not knowing where to begin, I took a different life route and side lined the dream when beginning college. After a couple years of college and changing my major a handful of times, I decided to stop and take a leap and reach out to a local venue and share my dream of being an event planner. Years later, and many, many events coordinated and planned across Upstate NY, I created RD Events & Design in July of 2020.
My passion for events and people is immense, and I love connecting with my clients on both a professional and personal level to create the best event for every client. My planning process is a reflection of my work ethic - thorough, authentic, and intentional. Together, we will form a professional bond while enjoying the process.
When I'm not planning events, you can find me enjoying the outdoors with my husband, Eric, and rescued hound, Zoey or running around the soccer field or volleyball court to feed my very competitive nature. I'm a travel lover, adventure seeker, and I have a rather large bucket list that I enjoy checking off. As I stated above, I am certainly passionate about events, but I am also passionate about quality time with my friends + family, sports, animals, the ocean, flowers, planning a vacation to a new spot, a good cocktail or a strong coffee, cooking a new recipe, a juicy book or movie, or a binge worthy TV Show (where are my Office and Grey's Anatomy fans at?), but most importantly - I am passionate about living life with positivity and purpose while creating lasting memories for myself and my clients.
