Before You Say I Do 
Rating: 4.9 (19 reviews)
  • Offers 5 services
  • Starts at $2,400
  • Serves Shirley, IL

Hello, my lovely couples! My name is Annie and I have started my business at the beginning of 2023 and so far I've had clients from all over the East Coast. I am focused on Partial, Full time Wedding planning, Elopements and A-la carte. My goal is to help my clients and make sure that their wedding goes by the plan that they created.

Awarded Best of Zola
Annie from Before You Say I Do was an exceptional day-of-coordinator for our special day. Her communication style was frequent, clear, thoughtful, timely, and she was quick to respond to all of our questions and needs. The quality of her work and the value she provided was excellent-- she is hard-working and was incredibly considerate throughout the entire process. She went above and beyond, offering to bring additional decorations and even showing up the day before to assist with our traditional Vietnamese Tea Ceremony, which was not even on the same day as our official wedding. We had only hired her for her day-of coordination package, but even so, she was a consistent voice and helping hand for us for months leading up to the wedding. I can only imaging if we would have booked her whole wedding planning service, our wedding probably would have somehow been even more perfect than it already was. We are so grateful for her dedication and attention to detail in making our wedding day perfect. I highly recommend booking Annie!

Nice to meet you! My name is Mia, and I'm so glad you're here. After completing law school and spending a few years at a large firm, I found myself craving a more creative career—one that blended my experience in deal coordination and research with my type-A personality (I thrive on a well-organized spreadsheet), my passion for creating beautiful events, my love for collaboration, and my deep desire to bring joy to others. I'm a wife, mom, oldest sister, former dancer, reality TV binger, and proud cat lady. ​If you think I could be a good fit for your big day, reach out! I'd love to learn how I could help make your dream day come true.

Awarded Best of Zola
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!

Awarded Best of Zola
I worked with Brittany from The Venlist on a series of styled shoots in Washington, DC. I can't say enough good things about this virtual wedding planning business. Brittany was organized, thoughtful, timely in communication, professional, and extremely calm under pressure. As a wedding photographer, I've worked with many wedding vendors and can recognize when an event is set up for success. Successful wedding planners need skills in time management, communication, and attention to detail. With The Venlist, all of these areas exceeded my expectations. I'd be happy to work with this business again, and I will be recommending them to my friends/clients in the DMV area. Do yourself a favor and reach out to Brittany with your business inquiry!

Honey Hollow Events 
Rating: 5.0 (5 reviews)
  • Offers 2 services

  • Serves Shirley, IL

At Honey Hollow Events, we believe your wedding day should feel calm, joyful, and totally you. We specialize in Day-Of Coordination for couples who’ve planned their own day and just want to relax and celebrate. About 4–6 weeks before, we jump in to tie up loose ends, confirm vendors, and bring your vision to life. We’re here to make sure all your hard work turns into a smooth, stress-free, and unforgettable day! 💕

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.

Working with Brooklyn Rain Brides was an incredible experience! Finding Brooklyn felt like fate! She was everything we needed in a planner. My husband and I decided on having a small wedding in a short amount of time and it was better than I ever imagined due to Brooklyns' help! The planning stage was organized, productive and so much fun. I felt like I was chatting with a good friend during our meetings. The moment Brooklyn arrived to the venue on our wedding day, all of my stress vanished. She took my cell phone and really took charge! I was able to finally unwind and really be present with my now husband. She designed a gorgeous sweet heart table and flower arrangements for our reception. Brooklyn made sure that we, the Bride and Groom, were well looked after during the very busy day. From our very first interaction, Brooklyns' communication was organized, calming, and positive.

My husband, Zach, and I got married on May 25, 2025 and working with Hannah was seriously one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. I feel like many vendors default to only addressing the bride, but Hannah made sure that we both felt included from our very first meeting, to all of the email exchanges, and to finally our wedding day! I was definitely a type A bride, but Hannah welcomed all of my planning energy and gave us access to a bunch of resources to help in the process including her wedding planning guide, a design template for a wedding binder, and access to her event diagraming software. On our wedding day, Hannah set-up everything to perfection, she keep things moving seamlessly, and she made tear-down a breeze. I don’t even know what fires she had to put out during the day and that’s EXACTLY THE POINT! When I think back on the day, I can’t even remember a single thing that “went wrong,” and that’s a huge testament to everything Hannah did behind the scenes so we could both relax and fully enjoy the day with all of our family and friends. If you’re looking for the perfect day-of-coordinator, Hannah’s THE it girl.

I found Alexa on the Knot and booked her for Monarch’s full wedding planning package as my husband & I were planning a wedding outside of Chicago in an unconventional venue, 9 months away, and lived in another state. It was a big challenge but from the initial consultation, we loved Alexa’s energy, organization, commitment and just knew we could trust her with our once in a lifetime event. The planning process was extremely organized, thorough and well-paced. She matched my attention to detail, tackled unplanned challenges with ferocity (which included a limited selection of vendors given the location of our venue) and was as dedicated to bringing my very specific vision to life as I was. She brought great vendor recommendations and connections and did countless hours of research on new vendors. Details were well-documented and thoroughly discussed to ensure all parties were aligned. Even though our venue was farther outside Chicago (Indiana), she ran several venue walkthroughs in-person, attended vendor visits with me, and always accommodated my husband and I’s busy schedule. As Alexa started to step away for her maternity leave (which started right before our wedding date), she did an amazing job ensuring her team was fully prepared to handle last minute preparations and day-of responsibilities. The day-of team of 3 were awesome with completely handling all details A-Z so I didn’t have to worry about anything, even despite some last minute changes due to weather! Due to the complexity of our venue, its location, short timeline, and being from out-of-state, we are SO GLAD we booked Monarch for their full planning package and had the privilege of working with Alexa! It was sincerely our pleasure to have her bring our special day to life, she was a joy to work with and get to know. If I were getting married again, I’d book her services again no question! Thank you Alexa!!
