I cannot say enough great things about working with Jaime! She truly made the stressful experience so easy. From the time I met her at a bridal show, up until even now after wedding day, Jaime has been a pleasure to work with. Communication is amazing, she’s so incredibly supportive, professional, and detail oriented! She took our wild idea of a Tim Burton-esque theme and made it come to life. The day was even more beautiful than I could’ve imagined or hoped for. My husband originally wasn’t sure a wedding planner was even worth the cost, but as the day got closer, he was so thankful we had her part of our team. Jaime went above and beyond what I thought a wedding planner would do, I even had another vendor share with me what a pleasure she was to work with! I cannot say enough nice things about her, I don’t think there’s enough words in the world to describe it! In moments of brief anxiety on wedding day, I just looked around for Jaime and knew it would all turn out alright once I saw her. I’d recommend her to literally everyone I know.

La Prairie 
Rating: 5.0 (3 reviews)
Kalamazoo, MI
  • Offers 4 services

Our story began with one special wedding—planned for a close friend and filled with love, joy, and thoughtful details. The happiness it created inspired us to turn that passion into something lasting. Today, we design celebrations that reflect your unique love story, blending creativity, elegance, and intention. Like a sunflower turning toward the light, we help love shine in its most beautiful form—making every moment unforgettable.

La Prairie was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding. From the very beginning, their communication was attentive and they paid close attention to every detail. Sahara, our wedding planner and also beloved friend, truly understood our vision as a couple. We showed her what we wanted to create for our special day, and she took it from there, transforming our backyard into a beautiful and elegant wedding venue. Her attention to detail and vision-oriented approach ensured that every element, from the decor and flower arrangements to the place settings and music, came together seamlessly. The simplicity and elegance of La Prairie's work was exactly what we were looking for, and we couldn't have been more thrilled with the end result. We highly recommend them to any couple planning their dream wedding.

Megan is the best!! I debated getting a day-of coordinator because I knew I would be thinking about the setup of everything when I should have just been enjoying the day and Megan allowed me to do just that. We had a few meetings beforehand to go over details and when the day came she kicked it into high gear and handled literally everything without a hitch. She knows how to handle people and is so detail oriented. I cannot imagine my wedding day without her. Thank you Megan!! 3

We hadn’t originally intended on hiring a coordinator for our wedding, but as the date got closer and closer I quickly realized how overwhelmed I felt trying to put together the finishing touches and finalize all the details. When I talked with Raven and she explained her services to me, she immediately made me feel less stressed knowing that she would be there to keep everything running smoothly and that she would help finalize all the details that I was struggling with. Our priority on our wedding day was to be as fully present and focused on enjoying the day and celebrating with our guests, and Raven truly made all of that possible. She took care of everything we needed and kept things moving smoothly despite any bumps in the road. It was another relief to have her take over vendor communication as the wedding got closer. I also really appreciated how she was willing to discuss and negotiate her services to help keep us in budget. I can honestly say that hiring Raven was one of the best decisions we made throughout the whole planning process and we are beyond grateful that we were able to sit back and enjoy our wedding day without worry. Thank you Raven!

Have you ever been in a high stress situation and thought yourself man I wish I just had somebody that could read my mind and handle it for me? Well, that is exactly what it feels like to have Connie as your coordinator. I first hired Connie in January 2025 and I was not married until December 31 of 2025 throughout the entire process not only was Connie professional, but she asked so many questions that I had never even thought of. She had numerous family obligations and a very stressful personal life. However, I had no idea any of it was going on because that is how professional she remained on our calls. When it came to wedding set up Connie showed up and knew exactly where everything went. She never asked me a single question unless it was for pertinent information and she truly made my vision come to life. She was kind to all of my family members which I think is so important especially on a day as big as that, and she did everything in a timely, discreet manner. As the bride, I had no idea if something did or did not go right on my wedding day because I never had to deal with it nor was I told about it. Connie truly is a mind reader and was able to make the entire day go smoothly. Hiring Connie is not a want for your wedding day. It is an absolute need. I can sit here a week after I am married and say with a confident face that she is truly the reason why my day was able to go so smooth. I got numerous compliments on how well it was set up and how well it was ran, and this was all due to Connie. My entire family is thankful for her. Sincerely, A 2025 bride

The title says it all... Emily is IN-CRED-I-BLE!!! We worked with Emily for well over a year on our wedding and she handled anything and everything that we needed help with. Whether it was finding vendors/venues and contacting them, handling paperwork, setting up calls, tours, etc., Emily put our mind at ease with it and took care of it. She's also incredibly personable and fun to talk to! By the time our wedding came, it was bittersweet because we had looked forward to our weekly calls with her! On the day of our wedding Emily was a superhero..... She helped set things up, make sure everything ran smoothly, helped tear down at the end of the night, and packed our car with decorations and things we had brought for us so we had nothing to worry about.

All couples need Dana and her team with Thyme & Details for their big day. We hired Dana as a day of coordinator but she is so much more than that. She went to countless vendor meeting and kept track of all of my overly detailed instructions to make sure each piece of our day (timeline, vendor contracts, etc) worked with those details. When the venue dropped the ball, others got details wrong, or vendors fell through, Dana was always a step ahead and came up with even better solutions than our original plans. Dana really knows the ins and outs of organizing a wedding, is in tune with the Columbus wedding scene, and has incredibly valuable connections. Overall we were blown away by Dana and her team’s professionalism and dedication to our wedding. Dana’s communications were always prompt, detailed, and thorough every step of the way, making the planning process a breeze. She lead our rehearsal too which is exactly what we needed. Her team also went above and beyond the day-of to ensure every aspect of our special day was executed flawlessly. We cannot recommend Dana and her team highly enough to any couple looking for a wedding planning team that will truly make their day unforgettable. Could not imagine our day without her!

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!

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.

If you’re anything like me, you’ll be a nervous wreck on your wedding day. Leading up to our big day I was cool as a cucumber so I truly didn’t think I would be, but the anticipation had my anxiety at an all time high. Lisa gracefully reassured me every step of the way. She will do it all for you. She will ensure that every last, tiny detail is perfect. But perhaps even more importantly, she has the warmth of an old friend. I can’t recommend Bisoux Event Co. enough.

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.

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
Where do we begin? From the moment Camille offered her expertise to us, we knew we would be all good on our wedding day. Her vast experience in the event planning and coordinating space — she has worked as a caterer, day-of coordinator, full blown event planner — was evident from the first time meeting. Camille's attention to detail is a credit to her organization skills and depth of knowledge related to event and wedding planning. We did most of our planning ahead of time and brought Camille in to be our day-of coordinator. About two months before our wedding, we met with Camille and shared as many of our wedding details we had available and within a day, Camille had created an extremely detailed timeline for the entire weekend. Any element of the timeline that she did not have yet was highlighted red so we could figure out what information we needed to provide. She regularly would check in with us to make sure we were working to get those missing elements, and actually took over responsibility gathering some of it for us. Her knowledge of event planning helped us plan out when to schedule our entrance, first dance, dinner service for a wedding of 275, and speech timing to ensure we got out on the dance floor with plenty of time to dance. She connected all of our vendors and sent regular updates to them to make sure everyone was on the same page. As our day-of wedding coordinator, Camille was present at our rehearsal the night before. When it was time to really get going, Camille took charge and commanded the rehearsal with confidence. She walked me and my husband through her rehearsal process, got us set to practice, took notes for the day, and just made us feel certain that everything was going to work out. On the day of the wedding, our first look was at noon. When rain entered the forecast for the day, Camille quickly located an alternative first look location and communicated the change of plans with our photographer and wedding party, who got us where we needed to be. When we arrived at the wedding & reception venue around 2 p.m., we anticipated needing to help finish setting up the space. Camille, with a small team of our family and friends, got the entire space set and ready before we arrived. That let us relax and enjoy some time with our bridal party before the ceremony began. Camille is real, honest, and will tell you the truth when you need to hear it. She listens to what you're wanting and hoping for on your wedding day, and does everything she can to make that vision happen. She sees and thinks details about the day that wouldn't cross most people's minds. I would recommend Camille and Cherry on Top Creative Planning to anyone who wants to feel certain that their wedding day will feel perfect. (It won't be perfect though, because perfect never happens!)

I cannot recommend 1945 Event Co. enough! Brittany and Sandy were absolutely amazing as our day-of coordinators and design team. They attended our rehearsal dinner to ensure everything was planned and organized, and on the wedding day, they flawlessly set up and tore down all of the décor. The fact that they provided decor rentals made things so convenient! They brought my vision to life by setting up our centerpieces, memorial table, and all other decorations perfectly. Everything looked stunning and exactly as I imagined. Beyond that, they kept the entire day running smoothly, ensuring that everything flowed effortlessly and stress-free. Their professionalism, attention to detail, and dedication to making sure we had a perfect day were incredible. I didn’t have to worry about a single thing, and it made such a difference in allowing us to fully enjoy our wedding day.

We cannot say enough great things about Michelle and her team at Bustle and Lace! Our wedding at The Fairlie in Chicago was an absolute dream—and it all ran flawlessly, thanks to her incredible work. From the very beginning, Michelle was a true professional and a calming presence. She maintained consistent and clear communication throughout the planning process and scheduled regular meetings to keep us on track with important milestones. She took charge of organizing with our many vendors—often without needing our involvement, which was a huge relief as the day approached. Michelle is incredibly well-established in the Chicagoland wedding scene and has clearly built strong relationships with many of the most popular local vendors—photographers, bands, DJs, caterers, florists, venues—you name it. That familiarity made coordination seamless and stress-free, and it was clear she had worked with many of our vendors before, which gave us even more peace of mind. She created a detailed, thoughtful timeline that covered everything from the bridal party’s hair and makeup arrival to the band’s final song and the venue teardown. Thanks to her preparation and the hard work of her team, everything went according to schedule without a single hiccup. On the wedding day itself, we were able to be fully present, knowing we were in the best hands. We didn’t have to worry about a thing and could simply enjoy every moment with our family and friends. We’re so grateful to Michelle and Bustle and Lace for making our wedding day stress-free and unforgettable. If you're considering a wedding coordinator, look no further—you’ll be so glad you booked her!

Ohana Events is an elevated event planning and design company based in both Chicago & South Florida, but often travel for their events, with distances as far as Mexico and Italy. The Ohana team strives to make the entire planning process, from first meeting to the big day a stress-free experience. Let’s face it, weddings and events are more than just one long day. Months, and sometimes years, of hard work are put into building a celebration – hopefully with lots of champagne toasts and happy tears along the way!

Ohana Events and Sonya, the wedding planner, were absolutely amazing to work with. From the very beginning, Sonya was incredibly responsive, helpful, and friendly in all of our communications. Her attention to detail and ability to keep everything running smoothly on the wedding day was truly invaluable. Sonya was on top of every aspect, ensuring that everything was communicated clearly and efficiently to us and all of our vendors. The best money we spent for our wedding was hiring Ohana Events - it made the entire day so much more enjoyable and worth it, as we were able to truly be present and soak in all the special moments without having to worry about the logistics. I cannot recommend Ohana Events and Sonya highly enough!
