I hired Gthr for day of coordination a few months before my wedding. I’m a very hands on bride who planned every detail of my wedding, but am so thankful I hired Sarah & her team. I did have some last minute decor questions & requests and Gthr partnered with me on making them a reality! We worked together on floral design, beautiful vine walls, additional lighting, and everything in between. Sarah had a baby a week before my wedding and still showed up, helped with set up, and assisted in managing last minute hiccups and issues with my vendors. She went above & beyond. I highly recommend hiring her team for your next event!

BW Studio+Events

5.0

Berwyn, IL
  • Offers 5 services
  • Starts at $3,500

BW Studio+Events is a Chicago-based event coordination and planning group serving Chicagoland and surrounding suburbs. The Studio focuses on intimate weddings with unique flair and lots of personal touches. Blair founded BW Studio after hosting a number of non-profit events and finding herself completely immersed in the process. Once she realized her knack for event organization and planning, the studio was quickly born.

Awarded Best of Zola
There are not enough words in the English language to accurately describe how emphatically I would recommend Blair and her team at BW Studio Events. I should start by saying that I came to know Blair as my friend’s Maid of Honor, so this wasn’t even my own wedding. While my involvement in the planning process may have been slightly unconventional, Blair always treated me like I belonged. In fact, she made me feel so comfortable that I began asking her for tips on everything from the bachelorette party to last-minute MoH advice — sage wisdom that she enthusiastically dispensed in a swift manner every single time. Two years of planning flew by with her at the helm. Blair is a rocket scientist-level genius with the stamina of a seasoned marathon runner. She is a creative problem-solver, a total visionary for beautiful events, and perhaps one of the kindest people I have ever met. I made a few small slip-ups on the day of the wedding, and Blair disappeared them in seconds while also attending to her myriad responsibilities. Critically, she also knows exactly when and how to be firm (with grace!) if necessary, but always has the brightest smile on her face for her clients. Her team is equally proficient in every way, and their cohesiveness as a unit is something to behold. It is additionally incredibly obvious that her vendor network is quite robust and very receptive to working with her, which speaks volumes about her personal and professional character. All the vendors my friend hired through Blair completed their services to absolute perfection. My only reservation about Blair is that I am not entirely sure she is a real human, because how is it possible for someone to be in ten different places at once doing fifteen different things? At the very least, she has teleportation powers, and I stand by that. The day I spent watching my best friend marry her true love will forever be one of my favorites, and I have Blair & her team to thank for the life they breathed into a memory that will float happily in my mind forever. Hire her.

Rebecca is incredible, hands down an exceptional person, and fantastic to work with. If you have any opportunity to work with Rebecca I highly recommend to do so! Rebecca has made the whole wedding planning process such an enjoyable & memorable experience and without Rebecca’s help, we would not have had such an amazing wedding day. Rebecca is the utmost professional, able to handle anything we could throw at her with her wealth of experience, her access/network to some of the best wedding vendors and simply her huge amount of knowledge about anything in the wedding industry. She was paramount in assisting us with navigating the selection of certain vendors, helping us with the event planning and logistics side, and outlining the steps needed to be properly married. We worked with Rebecca in preparation for our marriage in May 2023 where she served both as our wedding planner, day of coordinator, and officiant. In all three capacities she has gone above and beyond our level of expectations and has delivered to us one unforgettable wedding weekend that our closest friends, and family cannot stop raving about. As an officiant, over the course of a couple months Rebecca got to know us quite well as a couple and was able to craft a highly personalized and tailored wedding ceremony that intertwined many of the details she came to learn about our relationship including how we met, some of our anecdotes, having our personalities come across the ceremony, and the values and hopes we want to achieve in this marriage. It means the world that she was able to effectively craft a narrative but also deliver an eloquently, emotionally charged ceremony, in which guests could not stop saying how well structured and crafted it was but also how beautiful and thoughtful it was. As a day of coordinator and as our planner, all the logistics in the lead up and for the marriage day including our preparation for the wedding day, transportation & lodging, photography and videography covering us throughout our offsite and on-site photo locations, coordination of all the vendors for catering and décor and taking us to the finish line insuring cocktail hour, and dinner service all operated so smoothly without a hitch. Throughout the planning process, Rebecca always listened to any of our ideas or concerns, and was able to provided us sound reasoning and recommendations, while addressing our thoughts. She was always on top of everything, exceptionally organized and always keeping track of us making sure we were completing all the various wedding planning tasks needed. Working with her was so easy as she was so respectful, thoughtful, and kind to us. It is bittersweet as I will miss working with her and she simply did such an amazing job I wanted her to come celebrate with us on the dance floor, but she delivered a home-run wedding and one I know we will never forget. Rebecca if you read this you are the best!! Please book SPW & Rebecca because I cannot sing her praises and recommend her highly enough!

Awarded Best of Zola
I simply cannot imagine our wedding day without THEE Michelle Hamlin, an absolutely icon, speedwalking around the venue in her sparkly white shoes, making. It. All. Happen. If you are looking for a day/month-of coordinator or planner, or if you're on the fence wondering if you need one, I have three words for you: Go For Hamlin. She is upbeat, genuine, passionate, and fun -- but she also means business. She's both the most organized and together professional you'll ever meet AND will banter with you about Vanderpump Rules. Michelle truly truly cared about us as a couple and about helping us throw OUR own unique wedding. She's an incredibly responsive and talented communicator, which meant she became our go-to person for absolutely everything during the planning process, from big picture questions to little details we never even considered. She also connected us with some unbelievably talented and delightful other vendors. On our wedding day, she giggled with me as I took photos in the hotel, then buzzed over to the venue where she flawlessly executed the whole event EXACTLY on time with a sense of joy. When required to think on her feet (which is inevitable), she never missed a beat or broke a bead of sweat. What resulted was a wedding day that was even more perfect than we could ever dream up. I truly mean it when I say I have no idea how we'd have done it without her. We love Michelle Hamlin!!!

Lindsay not only plans weddings for our Simply Elegant couples but also trains our entire team of planners to ensure that every Simply Elegant wedding is flawless and our client's vision is fulfilled.

Our coordinator, Hanh, was absolutely marvelous! She was attentive, fun, and made us feel so taken care of. We used SEG for their day-of coordinator services, but Hanh made it feel like so much more. I would highly recommend her! The deducted star was due to some communication difficulties we had with SEG (not Hanh!). We had a coordinator originally assigned to us, but when one of our vendors couldn't get a hold of our original coordinator, we reached out to SEG and found out that coordinator was no longer with SEG. I wish SEG had been proactive in letting us know when our coordinator left; even though we only had day-of services, our vendors still needed our contact from SEG in the months before the wedding.

Rojin is the best, we were so lucky to have her help with planning our wedding in July 2022. She went above and beyond to help us have our dream wedding. Anything we asked for, she did a great search to find the best options. Anytime we were stressed out about anything, we just called her right away and she always made us calm by finding a solution! She was kinda our therapist. So I had absolutely nothing to stress about just because of her. Every little detail and every step of the way, she will take care of it better than I can imagine it. She was very organized, detail-oriented, professional, calm, and most-importantly she listened and cared. For anyone who is on the fence about hiring Rojin, do it. You will not regret it.
