About the Founder

A Vision & A Vow LLC was founded by Rachelle Ailen, who prefers to go by Railen, a passionate Filipina-American wedding planner dedicated to helping couples create weddings that reflect their unique love stories. Based in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, Railen is known for her attention to detail and her ability to make wedding planning feel seamless and stress-free.

At 24 years old, Railen has a strong foundation in business and management. She holds an MBA in Management from Texas A&M International University and a BBA in Management from Texas A&M University in College Station. She works full-time as a Category Manager for a military broker in Dallas, TX, balancing her corporate career with her passion for wedding planning. Her education and experience in business strategy, combined with her natural talent for planning, ensure that every wedding she takes on is expertly coordinated and thoughtfully executed.

What makes Railen’s approach to wedding planning so special is her personal experience. Recently married in November, she planned her entire wedding alone while her husband was deployed for six months. This experience gives her a unique understanding of the challenges that couples face, especially those planning weddings without the full support of a partner. Railen is passionate about taking the stress out of the process, making it as enjoyable as possible for every bride and groom.

Living in the DFW area with her husband, their chihuahua Mojo, and two cats, Railen is deeply connected to her faith, family, and culture. As a devout Christian, she believes in the sacred beauty of marriage and works tirelessly to create wedding celebrations that are meaningful, unforgettable, and full of love.

Railen’s love for travel means she’s willing to work with couples across the state of Texas—from Austin and Houston to San Antonio and the Hill Country—to help bring their wedding visions to life.

When she’s not planning weddings, Railen enjoys singing at events, working out, hiking, and reading. Her personal interests help her maintain balance in life, allowing her to bring fresh energy and creativity to each couple’s big day.

With A Vision & A Vow LLC, Railen is committed to turning each couple’s wedding day into the unforgettable experience they deserve, guiding them with care and precision through every step of the planning process.
