Wow. Where do we even begin? We could not have asked for a better Day of Coordinator. Brooke was everything we needed and more. At every turn, she was so in tune with the entire event. Any snag or potential bump in the road was immediately dealt with by Brooke flawlessly. She plays the role that anyone can only dream of at their weddings. She goes above and beyond and even helped with planning, organizing, setup, and cleanup. To be clear, the extra duties she did were NOT in her job description but she did them anyways because she wanted everything in our wedding to go perfectly. Specifically, she not only made sure all members of our wedding party and vendors stayed organized, timely, and on task but also made sure all of our guests were confortable and made sure their every need was met. She handed out flip flops we provided to guests when their feet were tired, she helped charge the father of the groom’s phone when the battery was low, and came the day before for our rehearsal so we all knew what to do and where to go. The best part was we didn’t need to ask for these things, she just knew how to help and took initiative. Multiple people at our wedding have commented that they’ve never seen a more smoothly ran wedding. Our parents even told us how kind and helpful she was to them throughout the wedding. Brooke has a true talent at her job. Do what you love and your work will speak for itself. Well it’s clear that Brooke loves what she does because she may have just been one of the best (if not the best) member of our wedding team. When we first talked with Brooke she reiterated that her goal was to make us feel like the bride and groom and she did exactly that. Brooke is professional, kind, helpful, and above all does her job flawlessly. We thank you Brooke, from the bottom of our hearts.

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.

Yes to I Do

5.0

Lakemoor, IL
  • Offers 5 services

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!

As a wedding officiant, I have the opportunity to work with wedding planners and day-of coordinators, observing how they manage multiple last-minute details on the day of the wedding. I recently had the absolute pleasure of working alongside Becca from Yes to I Do! Not only was she incredibly organized, ensuring that every detail was executed flawlessly, but her personable and professional approach allowed me to focus solely on officiating. Her commitment to creating a beautiful experience for everyone involved truly stood out. I highly recommend Becca and Yes to I Do!
