Prepared for Katie + Jack
Spring/Summer 2028 Washington DC
Proposal
Katie + Jack
welcome to your proposal
Let's go!
I'm Rachel Rice, owner and principal planner of The One Moment Events. For over a decade I've been producing weddings that feel effortless, organized, and unmistakably you. With deep roots in DC and a national portfolio of destination weddings, I bring the same fact-finding, detail-obsessed approach to every celebration, because for your guests, this weekend is a destination no matter the zip code. I can't wait to help you and Jack plan a day that feels like the two of you: polished, warm, and completely in sync!
Your wedding will feel like an elegant, intimate DC celebration, not a generic production.
Katie, you described your vision clearly: a pink, white, and green palette, a mix of linens and textures instead of matchy-matchy tables, and a room that already has "pizzazz" so the design enhances rather than transforms the space. You want a band, a seamless flow from cocktail hour to dinner to dance floor, and a day that runs exactly on time without ever feeling rushed.
My approach is guidance-first: I'll bring you curated, vetted options-never an overwhelming list-so you can make confident decisions quickly. You and Jack will always know what's coming next, and every choice will feel like a hell yes.
Your Must-Haves are our Will-Do's
+Classic, elegant ballroom energy with existing architectural beauty-no venue that needs a full transformation
+Band + dance floor as the night's centerpiece
+Pink, white & green design with layered linens and mixed textures (no cookie-cutter tablescapes)
+A day that runs precisely on time, without ever feeling rigid
+Curated options, not overwhelming ones (you decide, I guide)
+Full family & guest coordination so Mom, Dad, and Jack's family can simply enjoy the day
I cannot recommend The One Moment Events team enough. From initial design planning to the day of the event Rachel and Emme made everything run so smoothly and made our dream wedding a reality. I couldn't imagine a better team to walk you through everything -wedding/design/
planning/organization -and bring your dream to life. 20/10

My job isn't to encourage spending, it's to help you spend with intention. You and Jack are decisive people who value organization, so together we'll focus the investment on what your guests will actually feel: an incredible band, a beautifully composed room, seamless service, and a day that never once feels behind schedule. We'll skip anything that's trend-for-trend's-sake and put the budget toward what moves the needle.
Why this makes sense for your budget
We can't wait to bring your vision to life.
We would love nothing more than to bring your DC wedding to life-classic, elevated, and genuinely fun, just like you two. To lock in your date and begin venue outreach right away (starting with Friday's Four Seasons tour!), just send the word and let me know which service you are most interested in and I'll get your contract and invoice over.
