I consider myself a fairly organized person, and I always thought I was the type who could handle the entire planning of my wedding day...up until I realized I desperately needed someone to help on the day of. Gather made it so easy to customize my needs for the wedding day! Stephanie was matched as our month of coordinator (but really was 3 months!) with her experience in the wedding and catering industries, we knew she would be an amazing fit! Stephanie came to the table ready to go with great advice, direction, and support prior to the wedding. We had several meetings to talk through the vision and it really came to life! From helping place DIY projects like table numbers, menus, frames, etc, to cake and pizza deliveries, to vendor communication and flow day of (with 7 different vendors), Stephanie was professional and positive all day and night! We had a panic mode mid wedding when we ran out of vodka at the bar and Stephanie let us know right away and actually made the trip herself to get us stocked up again - talk about life saver!!!! Thank you Stephanie and Gather for making our wedding day so memorable and ORGANIZED!

The Rebel Wedding Planner

St. Louis, MO
  • Offers 3 services
  • Starts at $3,200

I have a dirty little secret… I never wanted to be a wedding planner. It was never something that was on my radar. The series of events that led me to this industry is, to be honest, not very exciting, inspiring, or important, really, so I’ll skip that part. (Feel free to ask me later.) What is important is that my heart is in help and service. Born and raised in St. Louis, I’ve gained a lot of knowledge about local wedding vendors, traditions, and styles. But after working 12+ years in the industry, I’m down for anything and love working with a couple that has a unique style and vision for their day.

From the very beginning, Victoria took the time to get to know us as a couple, what mattered most to us, and what we love about each other. She was committed to understanding the nuances of our vision for our big day and bringing it all to life. From selection of vendors to coordination of every detail, big and small, we felt calm, relaxed, and confident throughout the process under Victoria's guidance -- the whole experience was truly a joy. Our wedding day was as beautiful, special, and quite frankly perfect as we could have possibly imagined, and we owe much of that to Victoria. Victoria's job isn’t easy but she sure does make it look effortless. We owe every gratitude to Victoria for helping us to start our marriage together surrounded by nothing but joy.

Awarded Best of Zola
Married in October of '23, we decided that planning our wedding could be done in about 8 months. After about 3 days alone, we realized that may be a tall task without some guidance. Cue us reaching out to Trinity. She greeted the challenge we'd set ourselves up for with vigor, ensuring and encouraging that if we stayed on the goal-oriented timeline she helped us create, we'd be at ease with our plans come the big day! Trinity aided us on a bi-weekly basis to meet our milestones efficiently, always providing expert insight and advice on difficult or big decisions along the way. She provided more focused assistance the few weeks leading up to the wedding with final details, vendor coordination, and day-of scheduling. On our wedding day, she ensured many moving pieces remained aligned so the day seemed to take care of itself. Above all, Trinity provided us a special friendship to take us to husband and wife status! Caring, considerate, elite planning and coordination. If we had to plan another (please no), Trinity would be our first call!

I'm just gonna say it - I was in over my head when it came to planning our wedding by myself. Charley Rice Weddings quite literally saved the day, and more. They went thoroughly above and beyond my expectations. Charley communicated clearly with me on an organized, but not overwhelming timeline, she took over all vendor communication for me which was especially helpful, and her planning skills are second to none. Charley and her team provided a completely customized itinerary for my wedding day and rehearsal dinner. They helped bring my exact wedding vision to life, right down to the nitty-gritty details. She set up all of my decor exactly how I wanted it to be done, took it down at the end of the night, and arranged for an easy pick up later that week for the extra stuff we couldn't take home that night. 10/10 would get married again (just to work with Charley again!!!)

Let's face it, events are stressful. You plan for months and it all comes down to (what feels like) a few moments. There are vendors to meet, venues to research, staff or volunteers to coordinate, and favors to place on everyone's seat. Whether it's your wedding, anniversary, business retreat, or corporate meeting, we work with you to make your vision a reality for your events!

I reached out to so many planners/coordinators for my wedding and so many were either slow to respond or did not respond at all. Chelsea was prompt and excited to help, despite my wedding being quite the undertaking. I did my own (faux) flowers, which meant on top of regular day-of duties, she was putting up full floral arrangements, lighting hundreds of candles, and putting together tons of other small details and finishing touches. I can't emphasize this enough - our day would not have come together in the way that it did without her. She was on top of everything and truly made my vision come to life. She was helpful in dealing with other vendors as well, and did everything with a smile on her face. When I came to her days before my wedding with a crazy new surprise, she was down to help. My husband agrees that Chelsea was worth her weight in gold - I would hire her again in a heartbeat. Thank you so much Chelsea for everything you did to make our wedding day go so smoothly.

We were born from lessons learned by tackling the most important wedding to date; my own. A planner to my core, I never considered the need for assistance when planning and executing my wedding. And while I threw a truly great party, it came at the expense of me enjoying my own wedding. I took away from the experience the hard truth that just because I could, didn’t mean I should, and have turned that into something that I truly love; watching other couples bask in their moment, stress-free. We offer a variety of wedding and honeymoon services with the simple mission of creating beautiful, unique events that feel as good as they look.

Planning a wedding is stressful, if you’re looking at this review…chances are you know what I’m talking about! I went with Bisoux Event Co for day of coordinator services. Lisa came to my final walk through - and she was on top of everything in the best way. Asking all the right questions, things I hadn’t even thought of, took notes - she was so organized. I could finally take a breath, my day of coordinator was there to the rescue. Afterwards, we grabbed a beer and talked even more about the wedding plans. She was available to answer questions anytime via text, email and helped me with all the final details and staying organized for the day of the wedding. She came to our hotel the weekend of the wedding for a ceremony run through and we all felt totally prepared afterwards. She was also so sweet with our flower girls/ring bearer, and gave them the encouragement they needed to be part of the ceremony! On the day of my wedding she gave me such a sense of calm during a crazy day. All day long, she worked tirelessly for every detail. Made sure all the vendors were on time/reached out to them if they weren’t, and handled any day of catastrophes (there’s always gonna be something that comes up!) . Everyone had a blast at the wedding and Lisa of Bisoux Event Co was a huge part of that. She made my wedding vision come to life!!! Mine and my husbands family also took notice of her hard work and organization. My only regret is not working with her sooner. I know she would have been a great help earlier in the planning process! Cannot recommend her enough - honestly! She’s also a great person overall so really glad I got the experience to know her and work with her.

As an Entertainment Director/Event Manager myself, I’m blown away by Franklin. It was important for me to hire someone I could trust to handle the organization for my wedding day. After our first meeting with Franklin, I knew he understood what we wanted. I was thrilled to know he was available for our wedding, and I feel like we couldn’t have made a better choice. Before the wedding day, I was so relieved when Franklin came over to pick up all the decor. He even stopped by on the morning of the wedding to check on us and pick up any last-minute items. This alone really touched me because many people don’t go that extra mile, but Franklin does! I was seriously stressing about how to get those items delivered, and Franklin came right along and eased all that stress! He took our ideas and exceeded our expectations. We are Funko Pop collectors, so we wanted a fun way to incorporate them into our wedding decor, and he did it with ease. He surprised us several times throughout the event, and those memories are some of my favorite moments. When he revealed the reception dining room, which he had decorated for us, I was filled with chills. I couldn’t believe he took my simple idea and made it look so GRAND; it was next level. Then we walked over to the cookie and cake table, where I was seriously at a loss for words. I was blown away by the details he displayed in his decorating. It seemed like a scene from a movie. Before walking down the aisle, we learned that one of our food caterers was extremely late delivering the food and potentially wasn’t going to deliver it at all. Franklin was calm but still urgent in his demeanor, and I totally appreciated his proactive professionalism. Moments like these can really test any event coordinator's patience and could cause a domino effect. I don’t know exactly what happened or what he did, but all the food was there and ready to be served when it was time to eat. Our guests LOVED our wedding. They all mentioned how different and elevated our wedding was, and I’m 100% sure that had a lot to do with Franklin’s hard work. We wanted something unique, and he delivered. Overall, I’m truly grateful to have met Franklin and want to also shine some light on his assistant, Will. Both of their A, fun, efficacious attitudes just make everything better. I was able to kick back and watch my wedding day unfold beautifully. For those who work in events/entertainment, you know how hard it is to go to any event and not feel like you’re working, especially your own event (lol). Franklin is a star, and I’m sure he’s going to go far in the event business. He understands the importance of an event and how each event is personally unique. Most importantly, he takes the time to know and understand his clients.

We recently got married and I can honestly say that if it wasn't for Jennifer we would not have had the beautiful wedding we did. Our venue (Hairpin Arts Center) was an absolute nightmare to work with - they have no event coordinating experience and zero professionalism. Despite this, Jennifer took everything in stride, always the calming presence that we needed, and ultimately pulled off an amazing event despite all the hurdles. We only had the day-of coordinator package, but Jennifer definitely went above and beyond what was outlined. We are very grateful and 1000% recommend Jennifer for all of your wedding planning needs.

Over the last 3 years I've had the pleasure to plan, coordinate, and execute multiple weddings. What started as a personal hobby has transitioned into a business, and It has been a pleasure to be able to serve couples on their big day.

I have worked alongside Kylie in a few different event planning capacities, and her attention to detail and vision for flawlessly executing and coordinating celebrations is excellent! Kylie has years of experience coordinating within the realm of non-profits; including fundraising events, a yearly brunch for nurses, and volunteer appreciation dinners. In addition to this, Kylie has executed the coordination of several weddings. I would highly recommend using Kylie as your event coordinator. She will always bring the fun, energy and attention to beauty that every event deserves.

I love working with all of the gorgeous venues we have here in the suburbs of Chicago and can't wait to get started planning your dream wedding.

Bre was our coordinator for our April 2024 wedding. The big reason we chose her was because during our initial call, we felt that she was very personable, knowledgeable, and just overall so passionate about wedding planning. We basically planned a wedding in four months and Bre was there if I ever had questions in the planning process, she coordinated the timeline and sent to vendors, and executed everything perfectly the day of. Not to mention, helped clean up our decor so we had nothing to worry about after enjoying our reception. I truly believe she was a huge reason as to why I wasn't stressed on my wedding day!! One of the best decisions we made was hiring Bre!!

I was that person that did not think I needed a wedding planner! I decided last minute I needed one and I had interviewed 4 people and Christena was the only one that made me feel comfortable! Christena helped keep me organized, in control, and confident that I would be able to get through this! She brought things to my attention that I had no clue I needed to do. During the rehearsal dinner she got everyone in line and made sure everyone knew exactly what they were doing. The day of the wedding Christena and her assistant Jill knew literally handled everything from making sure my vision was brought to life, to making sure everything ran accordingly to plan, and making sure all items that were mine were organized and set aside for my family to gather at the end of the night. I cannot sing Christena’s praises enough! You are getting more than a wedding planner with her! If you are on the fence about this do not be, it is the best money well spent!!!

I bumped into Corinne and Meghan working at a friend’s wedding a few years ago. The wedding was beautiful and ran so smoothly. I kept their business cards handy because I knew they were the exact team I needed to help me execute my big day. They were one of the first emails I sent after I became engaged and hired them to be my day of coordinator. I worked with Corinne and she was amazing from the get-go. She was so great with communication through calls and emails right from the beginning and made sure that I was on target to have everything done before the big weekend. She made sure no detail, no matter how small, didn’t slip through the cracks. The big day went so smoothly and I have Corinne and Shawfield to thank. All I had to do was make sure the linens were on the table and Corinne did the rest to set up the reception area. The most meaningful request of the evening came when I ripped my bustle while making our grand entrance at the reception. I panicked internally, but Corinne came to the rescue and spent time hand stitching the dress back together to make sure it was comfortable the rest of the evening. When I tell you that she went above and beyond, I truly mean that. You can’t hire a better duo to help with your big day.

I am a certified wedding planner with a passion for learning. It all started over 10 years ago when I worked as a birthday party host at a park district, eventually expanding to fundraising events, showers, and weddings. My passion for weddings and events grew, and I began helping friends and family with their weddings. Now, I run my own business! There is nothing I love more than seeing an idea come to life! When I'm not planning weddings, you'll find me cuddling with my baby, enjoying the show Friends under a cozy blanket, or sharing a meal with a glass (or two) of wine with my husband. I'd love to chat and learn more about you!

Becca was an amazing support throughout our wedding planning journey. She was always available to answer our questions and guide us through the process of planning our wedding. Her experience and wedding planner binder helped us stay organized and on track. She gave us valuable advice on how to make our wedding day even more special with meaningful decorations, music, drinks, and vendors.

I'll be the best fit for couples that want to play around with the limits of tradition and think outside of the box. I came to STL to get my MFA and fell into Wedding DJing on accident. 6 years later I'm in love with love, planning, and weddings. I come from the vendor side of things, so I truly know what vendors have to offer and who can do it best. I'm also largely involved with the art scene in STL and that means I can connect you with vendors that are also on the more avant-garde side of the wedding biz.

The Foundry is a Venue in St. Charles, and we have worked with Rachel in many different capacities. She recently was the Day of Coordinator for a wedding in October here, and everything went PERFECTLY! She is so easy to work with, organized, professional, and so sweet.

America is such an amazing person to work with. Wanted to have a wedding of about 150 people in the Chicago Metropolitan area and a budget of 22,000 USD (just wanna say that keeping to the budget was my main goal). This can be typically difficult given the cost of venues and things in the Chicago area. America helped find a glamorous ball-style venue (my preference) that also had an outside lake as a great view for the ceremony. The venue also catered to most of the other needs at a reasonable price. Furthermore, we met regularly with America to go over what our expectations of each vendor would be, and with a great understanding of what we wanted, she was resourceful in getting the appropriate vendors and negotiating a good price with them. She made sure that within the short period of planning (we contacted her about 4 months before the wedding), every step of the plan towards the wedding day was carried out in a timely manner with nothing left unattended to... I mean nothing. On the day of the wedding, she drew up a great timeline and went above and beyond to ensure all went according to plan timely and we were not stressed out. It was such a good and memorable event that we received numerous compliments on it. With her being very affordable for the service she gives and she being intentionally involved in everything, we definitely kept to budget and had better than the wedding we had hoped for. She was on top of her game from start to finish . She isn't only an event planner to us but is also a friend. I thank God for you america and for all you did. These few words cannot fully explain how excellent you are in what you do.

We are a team made up of creative people who are skilled in the art of event planning and design. We are always looking for ways to think outside the box and do the unexpected. Fierce Productions was founded in 2015 by Laura Reitsma, proud Cuban-American Owner. Laura dreamt of creating an event production company that was fueled by her love of the theater. She wanted to make an impact and start a business that could give back to LGBTQIAP and theater communities.

It's hard to put to words how much we appreciate Laura and the Fierce team, so we'll just share the text we sent Laura the day after our wedding: "Laura, it feels like the most common piece of advice people give about weddings is that, 'something will go wrong, just expect that'. However, you delivered a perfect wedding. We wouldn’t have changed a single thing. What you accomplished was absolutely extraordinary. Complete magic. We thought we knew exactly what to expect, but it was so much more than we dreamed of. We are so proud of what we created with you. It left guests feeling so grateful to have experienced something so unique and loving. They’re saying it was the coolest experience and best party they’ve ever been to." A few other highlights of working with Laura and the Fierce Team: - She doesn't just see it as her job to plan the wedding; she sees it as her job to allow you to be present during the big day. Many say "it all went so fast," when remembering their wedding, but it didn't feel like that for us because Laura made sure we could be present. - She respected our vision like it was her own and protected every piece of it. - By the time the wedding arrived, she was our friend--not a vendor. And that made the experience that day even cooler. Imagine having your friend send you down the aisle...rather than someone your hired. We would hire Fierce a million times over.

It was evident that she genuinely cared about making our wedding unique and reflective of who we are. From the grandest elements to the tiniest nuances, Amber wove a thread of ambiance that tied everything together perfectly. Throughout the planning process, Amber's organizational skills shone brightly. She was always one step ahead, anticipating potential challenges and resolving them with grace and efficiency. Her ability to coordinate with vendors, manage timelines, and keep everyone on the same page was truly impressive. We never once felt overwhelmed, thanks to Amber's steady guidance and unwavering support. And this was huge because we were in the process of moving while wedding planning - she took a lot of pressure and stress off of us. On the day of our wedding, Amber orchestrated a symphony of beauty and elegance. The venue was transformed into a wonderland of enchantment, with every detail meticulously arranged to create the ambiance we had only dreamed of. It was as if she had plucked our visions from our minds and turned them into reality. The flow of the event was seamless, leaving us and our guests to fully immerse ourselves in the magic of the day. Amber's presence was calming and reassuring, allowing us to savor every moment without worry. From the ceremony to the reception, everything unfolded with ease and we owe it all to Amber's expertise and passion. Amber's warm and personable nature was a delightful bonus. Throughout the planning process, she was not just a wedding coordinator but a friend who genuinely cared about making our day special. Her positive energy and infectious enthusiasm made the experience enjoyable and stress-free, and we felt like we were in the best hands possible. Our wedding day was an absolute fairytale. We couldn't have asked for a more talented, dedicated, and thoughtful wedding coordinator & team. If you want a wedding that will leave you and your guests in awe, look no further than Amber.

We support our clients’ desired goals in ways that make the most sense for each creative vision. We focus on managing all the logistical details – timelines, contract reviews, set up – to ensure nothing falls through the cracks on your big day.

Colleen Fahy was our coordinator, and she was absolutely incredible. Her guidance, her input, her sweet personality, her organizational skills, her foresight, her patience, her flexibility, her thoughtfulness, her ability to put us at ease… all made her so wonderful to work with. I didn’t worry about a single thing on wedding day, because I truly trusted that Colleen had helped us prepare so well, and that anything that would come up she would handle. And she sure did!! Colleen handled a lot of issues that arose on wedding day without us knowing!! She handled all communication with our vendors leading up to the wedding which was a HUGE burden off of our shoulders. Colleen spared us a lot of stress, and we’re so grateful that she allowed us to be in the moment and enjoy every minute of the day. So many people in my bridal party / other guests at the wedding mentioned how amazing Colleen was!! The bridal party / other VIP's LOVED the detailed timeline/itinerary that Colleen prepared and distributed prior to the wedding. People knew where to be and when, and didn't have to reach out to me with small questions as a result. People around us noticed and appreciated all that she and her team did, and we certainly did, too. AND, Colleen did it all with a calming presence and a smile on her face. We were so impressed. Colleen and Joan humored my many overly detailed questions, requests, anxieties, etc.! I honestly felt like nothing slipped through the cracks on our wedding weekend because Colleen and her team were there to catch it all. She remembered and honored everything we mentioned to her over the past few months (which was A LOT!)! We could go on and on... 100% recommend Five Grain Events and Colleen Fahy was an absolute GEM.

At Cylee Catherine Events, we believe in planning and coordinating events so that the hosts are able to enjoy the moments that will one day be their favorite memories to look back on. Throughout the planning process, I do my best to listen to your ideas and help bring forward the vision for your special day that you are trying to achieve with a flawless execution.

I don’t even know where to begin to thank Cylee for the amazing job she did at our wedding. I originally had another planner that made me dread planning my wedding. 3 weeks prior to the wedding I decided to drop the old planner and go with Cylee, who was introduced to me by my photographer Arleigh. From the first meeting Cylee left such a great impression on both my husband and I. She was so organized, professional , and had a clear list of what needed to get done. The 3 weeks prior to the wedding went by so fast, but Cylee made those last 3 weeks feel like such a breeze. She communicated between the vendors and us, and always kept us informed on every little step. She made all the calls and emails, which really helped us so much. The day of the rehearsal, she came with copies of the timeline for all of us. She went through every detail and walked us through the game plan of the day. Later that night she checked in with me to see how we were doing. Even just the small sincere gesture of a simple text with words of encouragement, was more than enough to ease our minds for the big day. I have no words to describe just how magical and perfect the day of the wedding was. Cylee came bright and early to help with decor, vendors, a stressed out bride and stressed out parents. She was always coming in to check up on me, while still coordinating everything else. She was literally with us every step of the way. Our venue required a room flip, and she handled it with such speed and perfection. When we were introduced and walked in to the dinner area for the first time, I could not believe how beautiful she had arranged everything. I had no plan for the sweetheart table, but she arranged it so beautifully I felt like I was in a fairytale. My husband is not much of the dreamer type, but even he said that, he finally understood what it felt like to describe something as magical and dreamy. Cylee did such an amazing job that I had many guest come up to me to say how wonderful she was. Everyone loved her! And We loved her! Cylee is so kind, sincere, organized, passionate, caring and overall just an amazing person to have in your life. Her planning services were worth every penny. Because of her, our wedding came out better than we had ever imagined, and we created memories of a lifetime. She exceeded every expectation and honestly you will not regret hiring Cylee.

Veronica is truly the best wedding coordinator out there. She and her team went above and beyond and my wedding day was absolutely perfect!! Veronica was involved with the wedding planning months beforehand (unlike most wedding coordinators I spoke to!) and she was so detailed and organized that she truly put my type-A personality at ease!!! I knew I was in the best of hands after our first conversation and on the wedding day I was completely relaxed because I knew I could trust her to handle any hiccups. She also did my floral arrangements and was present at all the meetings with the venue and caterer to make sure that everyone was aligned on my vision. When she showed me the reception hall before my guests arrived it took my breath away-- it was even better than I envisioned!!! Her eye for detail is incredible and my reception decorations were breathtaking. I also have to acknowledge Veronica's assistant Sharae because she too was the best ever-- I definitely walked away from my wedding weekend with a new best friend. Sharae kept me calm and laughing on my wedding day and made the entire pre-ceremony experience SO MUCH FUN!!! Honestly, my wedding day would have felt much different if Sharae wasn't there. I actually got emotional saying goodbye because she was such an important part of my day too. I never thought I would grow so close to a wedding vendor, but I now consider Veronica, Sharae, and the entire Exquisitely Designed Events team like family. They truly made my wedding the best day ever!!!
