Event Coordinator

Rachel Gookins is the heartbeat behind FNA Events’ planning process, serving as the team’s dedicated Event Coordinator. She’s the person who connects all the moving pieces — from your first inquiry to the last song of the night — making sure everything feels seamless, organized, and stress-free for you.

With a background in event planning and hospitality, Rachel thrives on details: timelines, floor plans, vendor communication, and all the “what if” scenarios that most couples never even think about. She works closely with each client to understand their vision, priorities, and non-negotiables, then translates that into a clear game plan for the DJ, photographers, videographers, and support staff.

Clients love Rachel for her calm, friendly energy and her ability to stay two steps ahead. Whether she’s building a custom timeline, coordinating with venues, or checking in with the wedding party before introductions, her goal is always the same — to make sure you can actually enjoy your event instead of managing it.

When she’s not coordinating celebrations, Rachel is usually scouting new venues, gathering fresh ideas for décor and guest experiences, or spending time with friends and family. At FNA Events, she’s the steady point of contact that keeps everyone aligned so your event feels polished, personal, and perfectly you.

Uplighting instantly elevates the look and feel of your event. Strategically placed lighting washes your venue in rich color, enhances décor, and creates the perfect atmosphere from elegant to high-energy. It transforms the space, highlights key areas, and sets the tone for an unforgettable celebration from start to finish.

Bilingual DJs make every guest feel included. From seamless announcements in multiple languages to culturally authentic music selections, bilingual DJs keep the energy flowing and the dance floor connected. They eliminate language barriers, ensure clear communication, and create a welcoming experience where everyone—family, friends, and generations—can fully celebrate together.

Extravagant room lighting transforms your event from ordinary to unforgettable. When lighting syncs perfectly to the music, the entire room comes alive—every beat, drop, and moment amplified. It sets the mood, boosts the energy, and turns your dance floor into an immersive experience that guests can feel, not just see.

Custom TV displays bring your event to life in a bold, immersive way. From personalized visuals and monograms to photo slideshows and dynamic motion graphics, custom screens enhance the atmosphere, engage your guests, and add a high-impact, modern touch that sets your celebration apart.

Custom monograms add a personalized touch that makes your event truly one-of-a-kind. Displayed on the dance floor or walls, your names, initials, or logo become a stunning focal point that enhances the décor, elevates photos, and leaves a lasting impression on your guests.

A professional wedding officiant sets the tone for one of the most meaningful moments of your day. With a personalized approach, clear guidance, and confident delivery, an experienced officiant creates a ceremony that feels authentic, emotional, and uniquely yours—ensuring your “I do” moment is just as unforgettable as the celebration that follows.

Live musicians bring an unmatched energy and elegance to your event. From soulful ceremony moments to high-energy performances that interact with your guests, live musicians create a dynamic, immersive atmosphere that elevates the celebration and makes every moment feel truly special and unforgettable.
