Meet Railen
Founder & Lead Planner of A Vision & A Vow
My Heart Behind the Work
I believe wedding days should feel peaceful, intentional, and deeply meaningful. My passion is creating calm, structured experiences that allow couples to be fully present and truly enjoy every moment of their celebration.
To me, wedding planning is about more than timelines and logistics. It is about creating a space where couples feel supported, cared for, and confident as they step into one of the most meaningful days of their lives.
Experience & Approach
With a background in business and organization, I bring clarity, structure, and thoughtful strategy to every wedding I coordinate. I hold an MBA in Management from Texas A&M International University and a BBA in Management from Texas A&M University, which allows me to approach weddings with both creativity and strong logistical planning.
To date, I have had the honor of coordinating 10 weddings, each thoughtfully executed with care and attention to detail. Alongside wedding planning, I also work in a corporate marketing role, which strengthens my communication, organization, and strategic execution. Together, these experiences allow me to serve couples with professionalism, calm guidance, and intentional care.
How It All Began
My journey as a wedding planner began with my own wedding, which I planned while my husband was deployed. That season taught me firsthand how emotional and overwhelming wedding planning can feel, especially when life is already heavy. It also showed me the importance of steady support, thoughtful organization, and having someone you can truly rely on.
That experience became the heart behind A Vision & A Vow. I understand how meaningful this season is, and my goal is to be a calm, dependable presence who helps couples feel supported, cared for, and fully present on their wedding day.
Faith & Values
My faith in God guides the way I serve and shapes the foundation of both my life and my business. It influences how I approach each wedding with integrity, humility, and genuine care.
While my faith is central to who I am, I am honored to work with couples from all backgrounds and traditions, creating celebrations that feel authentic, meaningful, and true to their love story. My goal is to serve every couple with compassion and excellence, building genuine relationships and creating wedding days that feel peaceful, personal, and deeply intentional.
Life Outside of Weddings
Outside of weddings, I enjoy a quiet and meaningful life in the Dallas–Fort Worth area with my husband, our chihuahua Mojo, and our two cats. Family and culture are incredibly important to me and influence the way I approach both life and work with gratitude and intention.
When I am not coordinating celebrations, you can usually find me spending time with loved ones, exploring coffee shops around DFW, staying active through workouts, or enjoying music. Singing and playing piano have always been meaningful creative outlets that keep me grounded and continually inspire the way I celebrate life’s special moments.
Let’s Create Something Meaningful
At A Vision & A Vow, my heart is to serve couples with genuine care, intention, and excellence, creating wedding days that feel meaningful, joyful, and true to who they are. Whether your celebration is faith-based or simply centered on love and connection, my goal is to ensure you feel supported, seen, and fully present throughout the journey.
