Putting my creative flair to your day

My kind of celebration is with friends and family, making great memories and celebrating with delicious food and drinks.

Hey there, I'm Rachelle!

Raise A Glass was born out of a desire to celebrate life’s moments in ways that resonate deeply and personally. Founded by myself, Rachelle, I have a passion for storytelling and a commitment to excellence. My journey began with a simple mission: to offer bespoke celebratory services that not only honour the individual but also create a lasting impact on all who attend.

I have always been a people person and enjoyed talking in front of large crowds from a young age. I took this skill and put it into education for the past 20 years, working as a teacher and then as a Principal. Most recently moving to work for the Ministry of Education. I am now able to use this skill to delve deeper into my own creative streak, developing ceremonies that bring happiness to the clients.
