This was such a fun event! It was well-planned, well-publicized, and WELL attended! Rachel, you were so accessible and approachable for the vendors. Although everything wasdone very professionally, it felt comfortable and casual. This had a very different vibe than other book events we’ve attended, and that vibe was WONDERFUL. You should be very proud of the amazing job you did. We can’t wait for next year!

Rachel is a world class event organizer that is revolutionizing the bookish community in Minnesota. She is not only an effective planner, she also is a splendid communicator that gives indie authors like me hope that there are still great event organizers out there. As long as Rachel is organizing events in Minnesota, I truly don’t see myself moving anywhere outside of Minnesota because I’ve only had the BEST interactions and sales opportunities with her.

This was the best event I’ve ever vended at! The crowds just go to show that this team continues to make amazingly successful events beyond even what they imagined. I’m excited to see the future of what they create!

Rachel was amazing. From the moment we were invited to be a part of the Book Fair for Adults, she has been gracious and caring with every aspect of the event. She is very communicative and always willing to hear and help with concerns. I would trust any event she is in charge of, as I know it will be well run. Thank you, Rachel, for all you do!

 Attending the book fair as an author was an absolutely incredible experience. From the moment the doors opened, the energy was electric. I had the chance to connect with so many amazing book lovers, fellow authors, and creators, and the support was overwhelming in the best way. To my complete surprise (and joy!), I sold out of every single copy of my books. I’m leaving this book fair with an overflowing heart and lots of new readers. Can’t wait for the next one!

Rachel planned such an amazing event.  As a vendor, I felt like communication was clear and I especially appreciated transparency in the number of tickets sold as it helped me plan for inventory.  The promotion behind the event was spectacular and I know Rachel was the one orchestrating it all.  I’ve participated in events with teams dedicated to marketing/PR who didn’t pull it off as well as Rachel! The demand for this event is clear, and the next one I’m sure will only be bigger and better 🙂

 Rachel has outdone herself twice. When you do an event it goes viral and exceeds expectations. Then you plan for 5x that and it 10x you are doing something right.  I will follow Rachel to anything she plans. Her communication with vendors, social media and PR marketing and ability to take experiences and grow with the events is epic. Keep on planning girl!

 Rachel was a fantastic coordinator. Her communication was great throughout the entire planning process and the day off. The way she takes feedback graciously is such a skill and makes me trust her ability to plan future events.

Rachel was a top notch event coordinator. If this was her first large event, from an author point of view who has done small to large events, Rachel came off as a seasoned coordinator. The communication was perfect, not too over complicated. Best marketing I have seen for an event in a while. Rachel thank you for the best day. You made this author hopeful that events like this bring local book visibility to readers.

I am blown away by the amount of work, blood, sweat, and tears Rachel put into Book Fair for Grown Ups. I love her energy, her vibe, and the way she pours her heart into what she does. I don’t know her well, but from what I’ve seen, this woman is a gem, and we must protect her at all costs.

Rachel is a top-notch event planner! Not many people could scale something like this and provide such a successful event for so many vendors. The event attracted really engaged buyers which was incredible.
