Weddings & Events by Raina

Raina van Setter has been planning weddings in Middle Tennessee since before wedding planner was a job title most people recognized, and the numbers back it up: nearly 2,000 celebrations coordinated and more than 450 ceremonies officiated, since she's also a licensed Tennessee officiant. That combination, planner and officiant in one person, is unusual, and it means the firm can offer something few competitors can: a single point of contact for the entire ceremony, not just the reception logistics.

The firm is a preferred planner at a real list of Middle Tennessee venues, including Cheekwood Botanical Garden, Ravenswood Mansion, Oaklands Mansion, and Noah Liff Opera Center, which matters practically, since a planner already on a venue's preferred vendor list has usually already solved that venue's specific quirks, load-in times, noise ordinances, where the string lights can actually anchor, before your date ever comes up. Service tiers run from full-service planning down to month-of and day-of coordination, plus a licensed-officiant add-on and consulting for venues themselves.

The firm has also built a genuinely inclusive practice, with specific experience in Hindu, Sikh, Jewish, and same-sex ceremonies, worth knowing if you're planning a multicultural wedding and tired of explaining traditions from scratch to every vendor. Consistent Knot and WeddingWire Couples' Choice recognition every year since 2010 suggests this isn't a one good season fluke, it's a firm that has kept client satisfaction high across three decades of Nashville and Murfreesboro weddings.
