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 have been a wedding planner for over 20 years. I am here to support your ideas and help you find ways to make your wedding day the experience you imagine. I also specialize in planning weddings in a very short amount of time. Its a wonderful challenge and you’ll receive no judgement from me about your timelines! There are no geographic limitations. I’m comfortable working remotely for the planning process and have traveled extensively domestically and abroad. I have supported people from all backgrounds in their journey towards a lifetime of love together. I network extensively with other vendors & have a passion for collaboration.

Awarded Best of Zola
If there is one decision you must make for your wedding, you must hire Sholeh as your wedding planner or coordinator. Sholeh is everything that every good planner should be. She is organized, thoughtful, flexible, down-to-earth, detail oriented, solution oriented, and extremely kind. She was recommended to us by our wedding venue and to say we were not disappointed would be the understatement of the century. Initially, we hired Sholeh for half-day coordination services, and planned to have the in-house reception planner handle the remainder of the day. But when the venue coordinator fell through, we immediately called Sholeh in a panic and she said, "Don't worry, consider me your full-day coordinator now." She hardly even charged us a substantial upcharge for planning the entire day. On the day of the wedding, she truly felt like family. She arrived on-time, with her wagon full of supplies, ready and eager to help. She made sure everyone was fed, went out of her way to spend quality time with the mother of the bride and bride's sister, and executed every detail to perfection. She even sewed one of the groom's cousins back into her dress at the reception. Sholeh is a dream come true. We could truly write pages about how wonderful she truly is. Believe us when we say that you must must must hire Sholeh!

At Cylee Catherine Events, we believe in planning and coordinating events so that the hosts are able to enjoy the moments that will one day be their favorite memories to look back on. Throughout the planning process, I do my best to listen to your ideas and help bring forward the vision for your special day that you are trying to achieve with a flawless execution.

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.

I moved to the Aurora / Naperville area in 2016 from Los Angeles, California. While living in L.A. for 17 years, I organized and managed events for countless affairs on behalf of the biggest names in the industry. I made the move back to the Midwest to get closer to my roots, be near loved ones and to start my own business doing what I truly love and excel in – making a bride’s dream a reality.

Happily Ever After by Amy was the perfect wedding planning partner for our special day. From the beginning, Amy was efficient, timely, and clear, leaving nothing to question so we had confidence through the entire process. Her work was truly top-notch - She was incredibly knowledgeable about the local vendors, connected us with the best options to fit our vision and budget, and left no detail overlooked. My partner and I live in Minnesota but we had our wedding in Chicago, so it was really important to have someone who knew the local industry very well. We visited Chicago just twice for planning and Amy handled everything else, including the tasting! She seamlessly managed all the vendors, coordination, and onsite management so that our wedding day went off without a hitch. We are so grateful for Amy's expertise and professionalism, making our dream wedding a reality.

In 2019, I had no idea what I wanted to do or where I wanted to go after high school. Then, I planned my sister's bridal shower and made DIY crafts for her wedding. That is how my path of becoming a wedding and event planner started . I was in love with creating, organizing, and giving ideas.

Ashley (owner) was absolutely AMAZING to work with! She was so responsive, was available at many times throughout the day/night, and was always willing to answer all my questions! She helped me bring my vision to life and gave me so many tips along the way. She thought of every little detail and helped me create the most perfect centerpieces, decor and so much more! She was on top of everything throughout the day, even when I forgot stuff. She made sure everything went smooth & as planned! I HIGHLY recommend hiring Ashley to help you with your wedding. She was a lifesaver and I could not have had the amazing day I did without her help!

At HARTZ, we believe every love story deserves a beautifully curated celebration. My passion for planning began in childhood, when I organized events in school, as well as large charity events.

With strong organization, creativity, and an eye for detail, I bring heart and harmony to every event, so you can truly enjoy the journey to “I do.”

When you start booking vendors for your wedding, make sure the first one you book is Olivia. She was, without a doubt, the best wedding coordinator my husband and I could have chosen!!! We hired Olivia as our month-of coordinator for our wedding on 9/13/25, and from the very beginning, Olivia was kind, clear, and incredibly organized. She asked questions we never would have thought to ask, covered all her bases, made herself available to our other vendors, and was poised and professional at every stage. She was also incredibly responsive- we never had to wait more than a day to hear back from her about important questions. Leading up to the day-of she helped us navigate last-minute obstacles with ease, giving us true peace of mind that everything was being taken care of. She gave helpful advice without a personal agenda and made us feel more confident in our own choices. Olivia also advocated for us when other vendors were more disorganized or difficult to work with, and she was a dependable point person for our entire vendor team. It is clear she is incredibly knowledgeable about so many aspects of this industry and has a very diplomatic way about her. On the day of the wedding, Olivia and her assistant Abby were incredibly supportive, regularly checked in on us, and brought such a calming presence. The entire event was magical and went seamlessly, and I’m confident that was largely because of Olivia. I honestly don’t know how she does it! We feel so grateful to her and so lucky we chose to book with her. Infinite stars!

From countless Zoom calls to meeting up in person to select flowers, it was more than we could have asked for and were expecting. Her professionalism and creativity showed through when we had to improvise our outdoor ceremony to an indoor one thanks to a horrific tropical storm. She called us on the morning of our wedding to ensure we were doing okay and went over every detail with both my husband and me to make sure she and her team didn't miss anything. We cannot wait to work with Teyanna again in the future.

Hiring BreAnn to be our day of coordinator was hands down one of the best decisions I could have made. We got married this past June and our day went perfectly, so smooth, no hiccups and this is all because of Bre. Anytime I recommend Bre to a future bride, one thing I always say is that when you consider how much money is going into a wedding - you should also make an investment in making sure your day runs smoothly. Bre met with me a year prior to my wedding, helped create a spreadsheet to keep track of all vendors, gave amazing recommendations on vendors, did a walk through of the venue with me, created timelines, helped with o ur rehearsal & so much more. All of that was done BEFORE the wedding day was even here. Bre goes above and beyond to coordinate all your vendors and puts so much effort in making sure your vision comes to life. The day of my wedding I, nor anyone in the bridal party was bothered with vendor questions which really allowed everyone to just be able to relax. When arriving to our venue Bre had helped set up the decor and everything was stunning. Because I live close by her she even came and picked up my welcome sign prior to the wedding day along with the marriage certificate so I truly had nothing to worry about the day of the wedding. Bre helped everyone stay on track with timing, helped everyone throughout the ceremony know where to stand, when to start walking, etc - which is so helpful when you’re trying to get a bunch of people in a bridal party to listen. Once the wedding was over Bre packed up all of our decor making sure everything was extremely organized and she even took home my flower bouquet since I was having it preserved and helped coordinate that to ensure the bouquet would be safe at the end of the night. If you are on the fence about hiring a coordinator - just do it. You truly will not regret hiring Bre, she was the best vendor/decisions I could have made for our wedding!

One of the most remarkable aspects of working with Thyme & Details was Dana's ability to keep us organized and on track throughout the planning process. With her meticulous planning and proactive approach, she ensured that by the week of the wedding, we had zero decisions or tasks left to complete. This allowed us to approach our special day with a sense of calm and relaxation, knowing that every detail had been meticulously taken care of. This was truly priceless. On the day of the wedding, Dana and her team executed flawlessly, leaving no detail overlooked. From managing unexpected challenges with grace and efficiency to ensuring that both sets of parents could fully immerse themselves in the celebration free from tasks or responsibilities. Both our Mom’s had planned our siblings weddings and what a gift for them to be able to relax, be present, and truly enjoy the wedding. I have countless fond memories of Dana and her team going above and beyond to make our wedding day truly unforgettable. From tackling last-minute emergencies with poise and professionalism to seamlessly coordinating every aspect of the event, Dana's commitment to excellence was apparent in every interaction. I cannot recommend Thyme & Details, and Dana, highly enough. With her unmatched expertise, unwavering professionalism, and genuine care for her clients, she truly exceeded our expectations in every way. If you're searching for a wedding planning partner who will turn your vision into reality or create one for you, look no further than Dana and Thyme & Details. You won't be disappointed.

Sarah is amazing to work with. We had a large backyard, outdoor wedding .. the day ended up being the rainiest day in June but Sarah executed the day perfectly. From the very beginning, She was so easy to communicate with, very helpful and always thought of things that I would never even thought about. If you are looking for someone to ease your mind, I recommend hiring Sarah for your big day, you won't regret it! Thank You Sarah!!!

Shh Events comes from all of the experiences I have gained- all of the trade secrets- that set my experience as a wedding planner to an elevated level of expertise. Shh Events is a curator for love stories, and it's an honor to be a part of the stories we tell.

For everyone who thinks they don’t need a wedding planner. You do. You do and you specifically need Stephanie. If everyone had a Stephanie, there would be no wedding disasters, no war, and no famine. Stephanie is the best. She helped us look through contracts with vendors, talked us through conversations with catering (which is how we met her), and ran our wedding day seamlessly. Stephanie really knows this business. She helped us manage our budget, she set expectations and timelines, and was super responsive with emails and questions. She also was respectful and inclusive to us with all our identities, as a gay couple and a Jewish/Italian couple. The wedding industry often assumes a lot of things but Stephanie is so kind and goes out of her way to make sure she never does. Beyond that, I think it’s important to highlight what a wedding planner does the day of. She makes sure all the tables are set up so you don’t have to. She makes sure your vendors arrive on time. She made sure our photos and our flowers were set up. I cannot emphasize enough how much you will not want to be doing your own table arrangements when you’re trying to pull off the biggest party you’ve ever thrown. She also came a few days early and picked up ALL of the items for the wedding in her mini-van. Then she packed them up at the end of the night and delivered them a few days after the wedding?? That ALONE is the best. I assumed my wife, our families, and I would be packing things up that night but she gave us a magical day where we didn’t have to worry about anything. She’s also incredibly smart and thorough and NEVER complains. We had books as our centerpieces and realized later that the idea of books was going to be HEAVY. She never told us we were nuts but she actually said she liked it because we did things that were true to us. She has more energy than anyone I’ve ever met and her and her day-of assistant, Caitlin, were the best. Seriously, Stephanie is, as my wife says, a magical human being. Don’t plan a wedding without her.

We worked with Veneisha for our wedding catering and dinnerware rental, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. She was incredibly attentive to detail and so patient throughout the entire process. Veneisha took the time to help us make the best decisions, and her expertise truly showed in the final result. The entire setup looked absolutely amazing, and everything went so smoothly. Beyond her professionalism, she is a genuinely wonderful person who clearly cares deeply about her clients. We’re so grateful for her and would highly recommend her to anyone planning a special event.

As a SECOND time Bride, whom didn't use a planner the first time. HIRE MICHELLE. You won't regret it one bit. As a "seasoned" wedding professional, I didn't use a planner the first time and I regret it. WOW WOW WOW What a difference it makes to have someone advocating for you! There was no need to chat with any vendors and answer questions about anything because I had Michelle. I can't stress enough how much this made my day STRESS-FREE. She's a total professional boss babe, friendly, and fierce. Thank you again Michelle for making our day AMAAAAAAAZING.

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.

Rose Collective Weddings was an absolute pleasure to work with. From the very first interaction, their communication was timely, empathetic, and friendly. Chantel, our wedding coordinator, stepped into her role seamlessly, guiding us through the planning process with her wealth of knowledge and detail-oriented approach. She helped organize us every step of the way, even stepping in to direct our photographer who was new to weddings.

Hi friend! I'm Pauline, and I am excited to help you have a fun, memorable and well-coordinated wedding. I left my career as a project manager at Meta to pursue my passion in event planning. Executing a wedding day brings me joy and fulfillment and I truly love being able to help couples on one of the most special days of their lives.

Awarded Best of Zola
From the moment we started planning our wedding with Here It Blooms, Pauline's clear, professional, and organized communication style put us at ease. We went with The Bud package (30 days of planning). My main concern was coordinating and communicating with vendors the last 30 days and all of the day of coordination. I am a project manager so I thought I had everything set, but she was so helpful in highlighting the little things that we had forgotten to plan or think through, such as when do we want to have our first dance and parent dances, or how much to tip each vendor. Being able to rely on someone with industry knowledge alleviated a lot my stress. The detailed timeline she created was wonderful for our vendors and I didn't have to communicate with anyone. This allowed me to fully enjoy the day. Pauline and Priscilla's detailed work and smooth set-up ensured our reception space looked beautifully curated, with a perfect blend of DIY and venue-provided elements. Pauline even stayed an extra hour to carefully disassemble all the DIY items. Additionally, they made sure my husband and I had a private moment during cocktail hour to enjoy a sample of our hors d'oeuvres and signature cocktails - a thoughtful touch that provided a much-needed breather on our busy wedding day. The reassurance and value Here It Blooms provided was truly invaluable, and I would highly recommend them to any couple planning their special day.
