Carolyn was a dream to work with for our wedding! We utilized her talents as a day of coordinator and it was honestly worth it times a million. We added on the rehearsal option which with a wedding party of 20 adults and 15(!!) kids was so so helpful. Day of, I had ZERO worries. I was able to fully enjoy our wedding and not be fielding questions or any issues! She was extremely professional, energetic and an amazing person to celebrate in our day with us.

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!

I recently had the pleasure of meeting and working with Haylie and Heirloom events for a couple different events, from sport's parties to a wedding. I can't express enough how exceptional the experience was. From the moment we first contacted her to the final moments of our event, the level of service and attention to detail was unparalleled. Haylie was not just a professional event planner; she was a dedicated partner throughout the entire process. Her availability and approachability were remarkable. She patiently answered all our questions, no matter how trivial they may have seemed. Her warm and personable demeanor instantly put us at ease, making the planning process enjoyable and stress-free. One of the standout qualities of Haylie and her team was their meticulous attention to detail. Every aspect of our event was carefully thought out and executed flawlessly. From the décor to the entertainment, it was evident that no stone was left unturned. The result was an event that exceeded our wildest expectations and left our guests in awe. Finally, what truly set this event apart was the fun and vibrant atmosphere that Haylie and her team created. It was, without a doubt, one of the most enjoyable events I have ever attended.

I can wholeheartedly recommend Haylie and her event company to anyone seeking a top-tier event planning service. If you want your event to be memorable, stress-free, and filled with joy, Haylie is the person to make it happen. Her dedication, professionalism, and passion for what she does shine through in every aspect of her work. Thank you, Haylie, for creating events that will be talked about for years to come!

BW Studio+Events

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
It’s hard to put into words the value that Blair added to our wedding experience. Not just the day of, but the whole planning process. We interviewed over 10 wedding planners before settling on Blair. As soon as we got off our info call with her, we knew we wanted to book her, and boy were we right to do so. She made our 200-person wedding an absolute dream. From the get go, Blair fully immersed herself in understanding our wedding vision. Specifically, she jumped in to learn about the nuances of our multicultural wedding traditions (Assyrian & Jewish), and was genuinely excited to do so. Meeting with Blair was always a joy. She was flexible in her scheduling and always showed up to our sessions prepared and with a smile. Blair did an impeccable job in assisting us with vendor selection. She did not bat an eye when we wanted more options, and I’m overjoyed to say that every single vendor we worked with under her recommendation was superb, above and beyond our wildest dreams. Our one vendor who fell short, our tuxedo rental company for the groomsmen, was a recommendation from a friend, not Blair, and when they fell short, Blair pulled out all the stops to get them back on track for us. In the months leading up to the wedding, Blair assured me every step of the way. Through every panicked email from me and crazy planning call with my maid of honor and family, Blair was professional and understanding, never making me feel like I was inconveniencing her or that my worries were silly. No question was too small or too repetitive for Blair, nor was she phased by any of the pre-wedding snafus that inevitably come up when planning a large-scale event. On the day of, Blair was a vision of calm competence, as was her incredible team of planners. She was focused and did not take her eye from the ball for a second. She coordinated myriad vendors while making sure I remained unaware of any snafus, which she fixed immediately with no one noticing. She made sure the bridal party was in check and kept us on schedule without making us feel like we were rushing any important parts of the day. She assisted me and my maid of honor in bustling my dress and even had a member of her team go back to the hotel for some items we’d accidentally left behind. After two years of planning, I was able to fully be present in and enjoy my wedding day because of Blair. I will sing Blair’s praises to anyone who will listen, including one of my best friends and my now-husband’s cousin who have both hired her for their weddings. She went above and beyond in every way and was an absolute delight the whole time. After the wedding, multiple guests told me they want to be friends with my wedding planner, and honestly, same. THANK YOU, Blair, for everything. - Nika (& Josh)

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!

Working with Jokay was such a blessing! Jokay made planning our wedding so seamless. The other day I was discussing with my wife and we were just like wait a minute, "we actually pulled off a wedding within 3 months"! She was like Jokay made it easy. Jokay stayed and worked exactly with our budget, connected us with the perfect vendors, always available to discuss the plans, she was very organized and detailed, having every aspect of the event/planning on a spread sheet. One big part for me was the way she walked us through the entire event during the planning, such that we could picture the wedding day. It was exactly the way we envisaged and more! Thank you Jokay!

Her attention to detail and ability to handle any situation that arises with grace and ease allows her couples to relax and enjoy their wedding day. 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.

Neither my husband nor I had been in a wedding, so we had no idea what we were doing when we began planning. We hired SEG for full-service planning, and we were so impressed by the time and resources made available to us. Our planner, Hanh, was so organized and attentive throughout the process. She was able to provide us with so many ideas to make our vision come true, and she knew to ask the vendors questions we never would have even thought of. She even went above and beyond on the day of, in ways such as helping bustle my dress which my mom and I couldn't figure out. The wedding workbook, especially the checklist organized by time out from the wedding, was so helpful in giving us a visual representation of everything we needed to do. Overall, hiring SEG full-service was well worth the money, and we highly recommend them for anyone who doesn't have the time or experience to plan their wedding themselves!

Rojin was our “Wedding Day Coordinator” on April 2022. We absolutely can’t imagine our wedding day without her! She managed a major issue which had the potential to turn into a crisis. For some reason, our sound system was acting up, and our DJ couldn’t figure out the problem. She reacted to the incident very calmly and managed to find the standby technician quickly while we were just looking at each other trying to understand what had happened. And our guests responded to this very positively and it was like they were really enjoying themselves by singing and dancing while the issue was getting fixed. Without her, this two-minute incident could’ve ruin our night, but instead, now we have a beautiful memory of an issue that was outside of our control. Throughout that night, she was always there for us, by her attention to details. She was noticing small imperfections in Bride’s wedding dress while the Bride was dancing. She was fixing all those imperfections that she noticed on the fly. We didn’t even notice everything that she did, not till six months later when we were watching our wedding movie. We recommend her Wedding Day services.
