“We found Sarah about a year and a half before our wedding, and hiring her was one of the best decisions we made. From our very first meeting through the wedding day, she was so much fun to work with and made the entire planning process feel easy and stress-free. Sarah is absolutely amazing at what she does and pays attention to every last detail. On top of that, she is probably one of the kindest and most thoughtful people you'll ever meet. Throughout the months leading up to the wedding, she kept us organized, made sure we stayed on track, and helped us think through things we never would have considered on our own. She made sure nothing fell through the cracks and that we never missed an important deadline. She was also incredibly helpful during our final venue walkthrough and at the rehearsal. Having her there gave us so much confidence that everything was ready to go. On the wedding day, Sarah and her team were absolutely incredible. Because of all of their hard work behind the scenes, we never had to worry about a thing. Everything ran smoothly, and we were able to be fully present, spend time with our family and friends, and truly enjoy every moment of our day. Without Sarah, I would have been stressed and overwhelmed. Instead, I got to relax and enjoy being a bride. I would hire her again in a heartbeat and cannot recommend her highly enough to any couple planning a wedding. Thank you, Sarah!”

“Ally was without a doubt the most important piece to our wedding!! She was so important during the planning process and brought up so many good tips and tricks I would never have thought about. She gave us a perfect timeline to work from and allowed us to go about our day blissfully happy while keeping us on track with everything we had planned. We had a lot of moving parts on our day including lots of DIY decor, desserts, flowers as well as setting up a champagne tower and coordinating our guests here and there for our first dance on an outside dock - she made it all happen! She also coordinated everything with the vendors and took a huge load of the work off of me. I’m sure she put out a lot of fires we never even knew existed. She seamlessly set up the reception of my dreams and broke it all down following the reception. She quite honestly had our backs throughout the whole process and was so down to earth and extremely nice/fun/easy to work with! On top of it all, she took beautiful pictures and videos of the reception all set up as well as our first dances with our parents! None of our guests took videos of our dances and it would have been heartbreaking not to have them! She seriously thought of it all - do NOT hesitate to hire Jovial! We couldn’t have done it without her!!”

“We worked with Christine for our designation wedding. I came across Christine through a Facebook group for destination wedding couples and through references and recommendations from other couples, we decided to hire Christine as our wedding planner. It was one of the best decisions we made! We are both full time working couple who have a high demanding jobs so we really needed someone to help us plan and help carry out the wedding planning for us. Christine was so open and kind and highly experienced and knowledgeable. When it was trying to help us narrow down where we would want our destination wedding, Christine would come up with these different venues, detailing information on budget, location, website, links, and information that would help us narrow down our selection. Throughout the process, Christine was always telling us to reach out to her whenever and she would follow up with us and even insight on the hospitality and venue side, she knew negotiations with contracts and things to ask that we wouldn't even be aware or know about. We absolutely recommend Christine to any couple who are looking to hire a full time wedding planner and that need that handholding support. We loved working with Christine!

Yes to I Do

  • Serves Salem, IL

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!

“Hiring Rebecca as our day-of coordinator was the best decision we made in our wedding planning process! When my husband and I first began planning our wedding, we thought we could handle everything with help from our family. However, we quickly realized we were in over our heads and needed professional help. Enter Rebecca! From the start, it was clear Rebecca was just as excited to work with us as we were to work with her. She was always willing to jump on a call to ease my stress and keep me organized. Her thoughtful questions (many I would never have considered) helped ensure we were fully prepared. Rebecca also worked closely with our vendors to create a seamless timeline for the day. On the wedding day itself, Rebecca and her wonderful assistant, Donna, did everything possible to bring my vision to life. They alleviated so much stress for us not just on the big day but in the weeks leading up to it. From setup to tear down, they over-delivered on everything. Many of our friends and family even commented on how amazing they were! Reflecting on our wedding day, I am forever grateful we had the Yes to I Do team by our side. Rebecca is an absolute joy to work with, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a talented and caring coordinator!”

“I can't say enough great things about working with Mia. She is so responsive, responsible, personable, and just all around such an angel to work with. She got to know us well enough that she was able to feel out potential vendors on our behalf and did so perfectly! I didn't have to think about a single thing on my wedding day besides enjoying it. Every time I thought of another detail I should go set up or fix, I found that Mia had already set everything up perfectly long before I thought of it. It is so obvious how passionate Mia is about taking care of others and bringing the perfect day to life. I truly, truly can't recommend her enough. I would hire her again in a heartbeat, and I've already recommended her to all my friends who are getting married soon! Every little detail was accounted for, schedules for every group involved were made and distributed, and she kept everything on time with a smile on her face. If someone could be born to be a wedding planner, it would definitely be her!”

“We worked with Melannie from VW Events & Co. for partial planning beginning about six months before our wedding, as well as day-of coordination. Overall, we had a positive experience and are very grateful for the amount of stress she took off our plates throughout the planning process. Leading up to the wedding, Melannie was responsive, communicative, and incredibly helpful. She created our day-of timeline, communicated with vendors, attended meetings when requested, helped with logistics, and asked questions we never would have thought of ourselves. She also did a great job running our rehearsal. She took charge, coordinating with our pastor, walking everyone through the timeline/processional, and answering questions from our bridal party. Our biggest disappointment was the communication and coordination immediately before the ceremony. Our bridal suite was separate from the main venue, and there was very little communication with the bride and bridesmaids once Melannie arrived. When our photography timeline began running behind, there seemed to be some confusion about where the bride should be and when we should move to the venue. We were brought over too early, which left the bride waiting outside in a golf cart in 86-degree weather while guests were arriving, then being moved into the kitchen while catering and the bar were setting up. There also wasn't a chair available until one was requested just a few minutes before walking down the aisle. We had assumed there would naturally be a plan for where the bride could comfortably and privately wait before the ceremony, so we wish this portion of the day had been better coordinated and communicated. That being said, once the ceremony began, everything ran very smoothly. One thing we especially appreciated was Melannie giving us about five minutes completely alone immediately after the ceremony to take everything in as newlyweds. That small moment truly meant so much to us. The reception also ran smoothly overall, and she was attentive to the timeline, helped keep our vendors coordinated, and assisted with cleanup at the end of the night. Melannie was always kind and knew when to be firm when the situation called for it. Having her there allowed us to carry much less of the logistical stress ourselves and helped us stay calm and enjoy our wedding day. We would recommend Melannie and VW Events & Co., while also encouraging couples, especially those with a separate getting-ready space, to have a detailed conversation beforehand about day-of communication and where the bride and bridal party will be immediately before the ceremony. As someone with a Type B brain but a Type A personality, I found having a coordinator absolutely worth it! Having someone who could step in and essentially be another “brain” for us throughout the planning process and wedding day was incredibly valuable. We are thankful for everything Melannie did to help bring our day together and especially appreciate all of her support during the months leading up to our wedding.”

“A moment of silence for one of the best coordinators any bride could ever hope to have. I reached out to Marissa in June 2025, a full year before our wedding, and from day one she became so much more than a coordinator. She was my sounding board, my cheerleader, my voice of reason, and my calm whenever wedding planning felt overwhelming. No matter how busy she was, she always made time for me. Every question, every meeting, every last-minute thought—I never once felt like a burden. One of the best decisions we made was adding her setup and tear-down package. Brides, if you’re considering it, DO IT. After your wedding, you will be exhausted. Your parents will be exhausted. The last thing anyone wants to do is spend hours packing decor, organizing personal items, and figuring out where everything goes. Marissa handled it all. My family and I didn’t have to worry about a single thing. Everything was secured, organized, and ready for pickup the next day. That peace of mind alone was worth every penny. I am never the person who writes reviews, but Marissa deserves every ounce of recognition she receives. Throughout the planning process, she was there for every important milestone—our final walkthrough, rehearsal, vendor coordination, timeline creation, and all the countless details that go into making a wedding run smoothly. She created an incredibly detailed and personalized timeline that became the backbone of our day. Then June 7, 2026 arrived, and she absolutely proved why she is one of the best in the business. From the moment she arrived, she was in full wedding mode. Professional, organized, confident, and completely in control. She came dressed exactly as requested, equipped with an earpiece and constant communication with her assistant, ensuring every moving piece of the day was executed flawlessly. One of my biggest concerns was my processional music. I had very specific timing requests—I wanted each bridesmaid to walk at certain moments in the song so the chorus would hit perfectly when I walked down the aisle. I genuinely thought I was asking for the impossible. Not for Marissa. She had her assistant stationed with the DJ, communicated every cue perfectly, and somehow made everything happen down to the second. It was exactly as I envisioned it. The entire evening, she was always within eyesight. Every time I looked around, she was there making sure everything was running smoothly, coordinating vendors, keeping everyone on schedule, and putting out fires that I didn’t even know existed. Because of her, I was able to be fully present and enjoy every moment of my wedding day. That’s what makes Marissa special. She memorizes your vision. She knows where every detail belongs. She anticipates problems before they happen. She makes an incredibly difficult job look effortless. For the past year, she has shown me nothing but kindness, grace, professionalism, dependability, and genuine care. She loves what she does, and it shows in every interaction. And brides, let’s talk about pricing for a second. It is so easy to assume that the most expensive coordinator must be the best. I can confidently tell you that is not true. Marissa delivers a level of service that far exceeds her pricing. The value she provides is honestly unmatched. I will forever be grateful that she was part of our wedding day. If you’re lucky enough to have Honey Hollow Events available for your date, book her immediately. She will make your wedding better. Period.”

“Corinne’s title may be wedding planner, but in another life, she is so much more. She’s a soundboard for ideas, both good and bad. She’s a problem solver with an incredible ability to put solutions into place that eliminate any issues that crop up. Her design work and vendor recommendations were absolutely perfect and our guests had so so so many positive things to say about the ceremony and reception. Whenever there were disagreements about planning, Corinne’s ability to get things straightened out is second to none. My wife and I cannot say enough good things about Corinne and all of her hard work. She and her team deserve every five star review you see here and so much more. If you aren’t hiring Corinne, you’re not planning a great wedding. Simple as that.”

“Tara was such a joy to work with throughout our wedding planning process. Planning from out of state was a breeze thanks to her excellent communication and attention to detail. Her calm, positive demeanor was always so refreshing, and she was a wonderful sounding board for my décor ideas. She offered great suggestions that helped bring my vision for our tables to life. On the wedding day, Tara handled all the setup and teardown, allowing my husband and me to be fully present and enjoy every moment. Knowing she had everything taken care of gave us complete peace of mind. We are so grateful for all of her hard work and highly recommend her!”

“I bumped into Corinne and Meghan working at a friend’s wedding a few years ago. The wedding was beautiful and ran so smoothly. I kept their business cards handy because I knew they were the exact team I needed to help me execute my big day. They were one of the first emails I sent after I became engaged and hired them to be my day of coordinator. I worked with Corinne and she was amazing from the get-go. She was so great with communication through calls and emails right from the beginning and made sure that I was on target to have everything done before the big weekend. She made sure no detail, no matter how small, didn’t slip through the cracks. The big day went so smoothly and I have Corinne and Shawfield to thank. All I had to do was make sure the linens were on the table and Corinne did the rest to set up the reception area. The most meaningful request of the evening came when I ripped my bustle while making our grand entrance at the reception. I panicked internally, but Corinne came to the rescue and spent time hand stitching the dress back together to make sure it was comfortable the rest of the evening. When I tell you that she went above and beyond, I truly mean that. You can’t hire a better duo to help with your big day.”

The Day Of STL is a St. Louis-based wedding coordination company founded by Madison Akers.

That experience turned into a passion and The Day Of STL was born. Madison now brings that same energy and attention to detail to every couple she works with.

“I found Madison a month before the wedding date and she felt like an answered prayer. From day 1, Madison was able to provide support and guidance that I hadn't considered. My wedding had several vendors and required a great deal of communication and execution. On the Day of the Wedding, The Day of STL, handled a vendor hiccup with no problem and I was able to enjoy the day with no stress. Madison and Team kept us on time the wedding flowed beautifully. Thank you Madison!”

Her notes were very clear on how she wanted everything to look when it was set up, and she created a clear timeline that was easy for us to follow on the day of the wedding. Roselynn is very kind, easy to talk to, and exceedingly pleasant to work with. We were in constant communication up to the date of the wedding, discussing any potential changes, sharing thoughts and ideas, and working together to ensure a smooth set up and tear down.
