Kim calls herself an honorary bridesmaid but she is so much more. She is a florist, a seamstress, a miracle worker and a friend to everyone she meets. I had a vision for my wedding day and Kim executed it flawlessly. She not only made the day run smoothly, but set up all of my favors, stationery and even the bud vases she made exactly how I pictured it! We had some fashion emergencies and Kim literally saved the day by sowing on straps to make a dress that wouldn’t zip finally close. I cannot rave about Kim enough!! We got endless compliments about our day and it would have been impossible without her. Kim is worth every single penny and then some.

When it came time to my wedding, the decision was a no brainer.

With over 20 years of experience and a genuine love for planning and organization, I am a bilingual (English–Spanish) Day-of Coordinator who helps bring calm and structure to important events. By day, I work as a Medical Program Coordinator, and now I’m excited to be building my own coordination business—doing what I love most: managing details, supporting clients, and making sure everything comes together seamlessly.

Magdalena and Olivia made sure to help us have a smooth and enjoyable wedding from getting ready in the morning to the reception time. Maggie even stopped by my house the day before to pick up some diy things for the reception. Maggie also let us use gold table numbers for our reception instead of using the table numbers the venue offered and she had her own “reserved” signs for the ceremony (these are things I had not considered!)They are both professional, friendly and supportive. I honestly had zero worries because I knew we were in good hands. When issues came up I whole heartedly trusted Maggie and Olivia. I know there was some issues with our seating/table layout and I’m so grateful they were able to figure it out without our input. The groom had some issues with his suit before the ceremony and Maggie was ready with safety pins and was able to help him. During the reception Maggie ensured we were having a good time and brought drinks from the bar to us. She also took some lovely photos, which I appreciate so much because as you know it will be a little while to get our pics from the photographer. All my friends and family also told me how well organized the reception was and they noticed how hands on Maggie and Olivia were. Thank you! We couldn’t be happier with the way our wedding day turned out.

Alexa is a true professional with her work and I knew from the moment we spoke to her that she was the one we wanted to work with. We interviewed several planners that did not come close to Alexa’s level of expertise and ability to make you feel calm and in good hands. If I was able to re-do my wedding again, I may change a few vendors, but Alexa is someone we would lock down over and over again! Hands down the best decision we made! Alexa is reliable, professional, friendly, and most importantly organized! We immediately had a guide on where to start and where we should be with our process each month. Alexa was available to us for any questions or doubts we might have, and made the most stressful months leading up to our wedding stress free. She always asked questions we didn’t think to ask. She took the lead with our vendors and ensuring we never missed a step, but most importantly Alexa was always positive, kind, and composed during every meeting we had. She made me feel at ease and relaxed, which says a lot when someone is planning a wedding. The day of our wedding we always knew what was going to happen next and even when something unexpected would come up, Alexa was quick to resolve it. Not only did my husband and I feel thankful for hiring Monarch, but my family was also left impressed and thankful for Alexa. Hiring a wedding planner is the best decision you can make, but if you hire Monarch, they will make it possible for you to be stress free leading up to your wedding and allow you to focus on being present in the moment. Thank you Alexa and Monarch!! You made the impossible possible and allowed us to enjoy our wedding stress free!

I cannot recommend Sarah enough! While I initially thought I just needed someone for the “day of,” I quickly realized how much goes into wedding coordination in the weeks and months leading up to the big day—and Sarah was there every step of the way. She went so far above and beyond what I ever expected, and I truly don’t know how I would have gotten through the wedding planning process, or the actual day, without her. From the moment we started working together, Sarah brought a sense of calm, professionalism, and thoughtfulness to everything. She is kind, incredibly organized, detail-oriented, and somehow manages to be both relaxed and hard-working at the same time. Every detail was thought through, every vendor was communicated with, and every little hiccup was handled before I even had time to worry about it. On my wedding day, I was able to be fully present and soak it all in, because I knew Sarah had everything under control. If you’re on the fence about whether you need a day-of coordinator, don’t overthink it—hire Sarah. She is a true gem, and you’ll be so glad to have her in your corner.

if you’re anything like i was and you’re on the fence about hiring a wedding planner, take this as your sign. i was very adamant that a wedding planner did not fit into our budget. i had been stalking cylee’s social medias and was so jealous that i couldn’t have her. since im stubborn, i began to attempt to plan the wedding by myself. i remember thinking to myself “how hard could this be?” my question was quickly answered when i had 37 vendors emailing me the next morning. we ended up hiring cylee, thinking she would “just be a wedding planner.” we were quickly proved wrong. cylee has turned into a friend. she has seen me at my best, my worst, and everything inbetween that. the amount of mental breakdowns she talked me through while we attempted to fix my flowers, make my seating chart, guest drama, etc. cylee sat with me for 8 hours…yes you read that right!!! she sat with me for EIGHT HOURS building my arch florals, welcome sign florals, and fixing my bouquets. cylee hand made everything from my save the dates, invites, seating chart, bar signs, everything!!! she even helped my maid of honor with my wedding shower. i have told everyone in my life, and now i’ll tell all of you who are stalking her page and reading her reviews, cylee is the best decision i made throughout the process of getting married (besides my husband, of course). she knew what i wanted before i did, she knew what vendors to say no to, what vendors to show me, and even had special insights and relationships with each vendor. fitting her into our budget actually ended up saving us money due to her expertise in being able to make every dream i had come true. she is a true gift to the wedding industry and to this world. our wedding night was more perfect than we ever imagined, and none of it would have been possible without cylee.

Hello Couples! Thank you for visiting my listing on Zola! My name is Chelsea, and I am the owner and operator of Finishing Touch Events here in Chicago. With 8 years of coordination and planning experience in social events, primarily weddings, I've seen a little bit of everything. I understand that, along with the excitement of getting engaged and celebrating finding your person, planning a wedding can feel overwhelming. This special event involves all your family and close friends, and it comes with its own unique challenges.

Awarded Best of Zola
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.

Hi, I’m Camille Carter — owner and lead planner of Cherry on Top! My journey began in catering and hospitality and those experiences taught me the beauty of creativity, precision, organization, hospitality and care — qualities that now define my approach to wedding planning every single day and help me to assist couple's in saying, "I Do!" Helping couples create meaningful, fun-filled celebrations is not just what I do — it’s what I love most. To inspire, create and dream with couples about a day that will live with them forever is where I thrive and what brings me joy. You and your wedding matter to me, so let's plan it together!

Awarded Best of Zola
If you are looking for a wedding planner who will make your vision come to life while keeping every detail perfectly in order, look no further than Camille at Cherry on Top Creative Planning. We cannot recommend her highly enough. Over the six months leading up to our wedding, Camille was nothing short of extraordinary. She listened to every request, honored every vision, and was consistently available to answer our questions and ease our concerns — no matter how big or small. Planning a wedding comes with no shortage of anxious moments, and Camille had a remarkable ability to make us feel calm, heard, and confident every step of the way. One of the things that set Camille apart was how proactively she brought things to our attention that we never would have thought of on our own. Time and time again, she was one step ahead — anticipating needs, flagging details, and offering solutions before we even knew there was a question to ask. Without her, we have no doubt our wedding would have been a very different — and much more stressful — experience. Camille also served as an invaluable bridge between us and our vendors, ensuring everyone was communicating clearly and working toward the same goal. She created a comprehensive timeline for us, our wedding party, and all of our vendors that kept the entire day running seamlessly from start to finish. On the wedding day itself, Camille's dedication was on full display. She was in constant motion from the moment she arrived — setting up our personal signage, arranging our memorial table, organizing guest tags, and attending to every detail with care and precision. She was fast-walking all day, giving absolutely everything she had to make sure our vision came to life exactly as we had imagined. And when the night was over, she went above and beyond by personally gathering all of our belongings and delivering them back to our hotel so we could simply enjoy the end of our wedding night without a worry in the world. Our wedding went off without a hitch, and that is a direct reflection of Camille's dedication, expertise, and genuine care for her clients. She is the kind of wedding planner who treats your day as if it were her own — pouring her heart and energy into every single moment. We are so grateful to have had her by our side.

Our wedding was magical because of Rachelle. It simply would not have been as enchanting, seamless, or memorable without her. Dedication, therapy, comfort, coordination, organization, reminders, recommendations, zip ties, friendship—and so much more. She is incredible. You can trust her. She is on it. One of my favorite memories of the wedding is being with her and the venue staff near the end of the evening. Everyone was smiling, feeling accomplished, and asking how I was doing—as they had throughout the entire day. There was so much joy and pride in that moment. Victory! We did it. They made it possible! My best man, our officiant, and my parents all commented on how hard she worked. Our wedding had 225 guests, many moving parts, and nearly endless details. Rachelle was always game to do something new, embraced our ideas, and brought her years of experience with her to guide us. We are incredibly thankful that we chose to collaborate with Rachelle. Far more than an investment - She cared about our wedding as if it were her own, and helped make 10,000 memories along the way.

We had the absolute pleasure of working with Michelle (Bustle & Lace) as our wedding coordinator at Sarabande Chicago, and I can't imagine our day without her support. Our wedding was a bit complex, it included a Hindu ceremony in the morning, followed by a break, then a traditional American-style cocktail hour, dinner, and dancing. Michelle handled every piece with grace and precision. Having had an Indian-fusion wedding herself, she was especially knowledgeable about many of the cultural details involved, which made us feel even more confident and understood throughout the process. One of the things that drew us to her was her unique coordination model, where we met with her every few months for a year leading up to the wedding. My husband and I knew that we wanted to stay very involved in the decision-making that went into wedding planning, and her package was the perfect fit for that. Even though we did a lot ourselves, Michelle’s expertise, thoughtful feedback, and vendor connections made the entire process feel guided and manageable. We actually enjoyed wedding planning more than we expected—largely because of her insight and support. She offered incredibly helpful input on our choices and timeline, and provided so much value long before the wedding day was even close. As we entered the final month, her coordination ramped up. She took the lead with our vendors, helped us stay on top of all our final tasks, and made sure nothing fell through the cracks. She also led our venue walkthrough with the full vendor team, helped with setup the day before, and made sure we felt confident heading into the big day. On the wedding day itself, Michelle was a calm, steady, behind-the-scenes presence. If anything went wrong, we never knew—she handled it all. She checked in with us the perfect amount to make sure we were eating, feeling good, and truly enjoying ourselves. Thanks to her, I was able to feel fully present and at ease, soaking in every moment of the day. I’m so deeply grateful for the peace of mind Michelle gave us—not just on the wedding day, but throughout the entire process. She’s a true professional, and I would recommend her wholeheartedly to anyone looking for a thoughtful, supportive, and experienced coordinator.

Chicagoland brides, if you’re currently searching for a wedding planner or on the fence, this review is for you! From one bride to another, hear me out — The Event Chicago is the one. Period. There’s no one better equipped to plan your wedding than Lety and her team. The level of experience and expertise, not to mention the warmth and kindness that they all bring, is next level. Seriously, watching them in action — they’re like the SEAL Team 6 of weddings! The best part? They make sure that the bride and groom’s needs are taken care of above all else. For the entire year leading up to the wedding, our biggest advocate and support system was Lety. She was always quick to respond, creating a constant and reliable channel of communication. Any confusion or ambiguity during the planning process was immediately addressed or resolved. She handled every question, issue, or idea right away, and without judgement! That is what drew me to this team in the first place. From the very first conversation that I had with Lety, I could tell that she cared about our day and us as a couple. She made it known immediately that she had our backs and she was going to do everything possible to make my ‘colorful’ and ‘vibrant’ vision a reality! On the actual day, we were able to make this happen and the space was exactly as I had imagined it! Our guests were gawking at the decor and raving about the small details that we had curated. Behind the scenes, this was weeks and weeks of constant back and forth conversations. Tweaking and updating and pivoting. Throughout it all, Lety’s dedication and commitment never wavered! At the end of the night, the people were lit and the vibes were so high that no one wanted to leave the dance floor! I had to physically usher people towards the exit. I think based on that, we can say that the night was a huge success! Big THANK YOU to Lety and team. Abe and I appreciate you all SO MUCH. Wouldn’t have been possible with you all!!!

Corinne and her team helped our day run so smoothly! Even though we only hired her for day-of services, she was just an email or text away throughout the planning process for those moments when I wasn't quite sure how to answer a vendor's question. On the day of, she kept everyone in line and on time! She is fearless in wrangling stray guests and groomsmen alike.

Wedding planning is not for the faint of heart, and — aside from finding the right life partner, finding the right team to coordinate your perfect day is paramount. Amber and Events with Ambiance were the perfect partners for us, two creatives with a dynamic vision for our wedding. Working with Amber gave us the freedom to create our day on our own terms, as she guided us through the process, stepped in to pull us together when it became too overwhelming, and, ultimately, brilliantly brought our vision to life. From flawlessly coordinating our venue and vendors to managing any and all hiccups and day-of stress (and wardrobe changes!), Amber was consistently ready with a smile, calm reassurance, and an immeasurable wealth of knowledge. With the help of her and her assistant Chelsey, our day was so gorgeous, memorable and personalized that our guests are still raving!

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.
