with love, Rachel

Beyond my current title, my goal is to be a leader with a heart for serving the community, its vendors, and their clients.

But as you may have guessed, it was only a short time before I dove back into the industry as the proud new owner of SW&EV at the end of 2023.

The highlight of my career thus far was joining the design and production team and providing rentals for Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez's Riceboro, GA estate wedding in 2022!

With business booming into 2023, we felt it was the right time to sell the rental company and focus on our growing family.

Hey friend, I'm Rachel! I've had many Savannah wedding and event industry titles since 2014, but I first fell in love with serving our local community as a full-time wedding photographer.

As serial entrepreneurs, my husband and I went on to purchase Savannah Vintage & Event Rentals (formerly Savannah Vintage Rentals) in 2018. What began as a small business run out of tiny storage units quickly grew into a rental inventory large enough for a 13,000-square-foot building!

Rachel Strickland

I first fell in love with design back in the 90's, creating with my family’s first computer—yep, I'm vintage! Since 2019, I've had the pleasure of collaborating with Rachel in our local wedding and event industry. But my most memorable project was designing and painting Ben and Jen's wedding signage! At SW&EV, I get to continue sprinkling a bit of glitz into people's lives and the community.
