Hello! I’m Hope Rachelle.
I can’t wait to help bring your vision to life—and make the journey just as memorable as the day itself.
As a South Dakota native with over 15 years of experience in project management within the architecture and design world, I bring a unique blend of creativity, organization, and calm confidence to wedding planning. That background has trained me to think big-picture while staying laser-focused on the details.
Before diving into weddings, I managed large-scale design projects and coordinated teams—always driven by a love for creating something meaningful and seeing the joy it brings to others when it all comes together. I bring that same mindset and attention to detail into every event I plan.
I’m a proud mom to a grown son and daughter—now officially out of the nest—though my dog and cat do a great job keeping me company. I love spending time with my loved ones.
My favorite way to unwind is enjoying a great meal and drink at a favorite restaurant or heading outdoors for an adventure with my significant other, Nick. I also enjoy drinking coffee, taking walks, riding my bike, or simply relaxing at home with a good book or a cozy blanket.
Fun facts about me:
- I served in the U.S. Army as an 88M Motor Transport Operator—basically, I drove the really big trucks.
- I started taking infrared sculpt yoga classes a year ago and love them.
- I love to travel and plan trips—I try to visit at least one new place each year.
- I collect Christmas ornaments—one from every place I travel. I love finding the perfect ornament that captures the spirit of that year.
- I’m always on the hunt for the perfect chicken enchilada.
I’m looking forward to working with you! Please reach out with any questions regarding wedding planning, event decorating, or how to access Hitch’s free decor!
