We cannot recommend Valerie enough! She was such a delight to work with, so kind and easy going while still being on top of everything. We weren’t sure what to expect in the planning process and instantly felt at ease with her. She was ahead of everything on our to-do list and thought of a million things we didn’t consider. On our wedding day, we didn’t lift a finger and Val ran everything so smoothly. They say something always goes wrong at a wedding, but in our case everything went even better than we’d hoped. If you’re looking for a planner/coordinator, Val is absolutely it!

Hiring the SEG was one of the best decisions we made. We worked with Brenda Chavez who was an absolute pleasure to work with. Brenda made all our dreams come to life. She was easy to communicate with and truly listened to all of our needs and wishes. She was truly someone we could rely on during the months leading up to our wedding day. On the day of our wedding, she ensured our entire day flowed perfectly. We were able to enjoy our day without worrying about out all the behind the scene logistics. The wedding workbook provided by the SEG was super helpful. We’re so grateful and it is a no brainer to recommend their services! - A & D

Working with Destify - Destination Wedding Planners was an absolute pleasure from start to finish. Their communication style is attentive, as they always got back to me promptly and were down-to-earth and understanding throughout the process. The quality of their work and value they provided was exceptional - they are truly passionate about what they do, patient with all my questions, great listeners, and skilled problem-solvers. For example, Sandra made sure a guest who had to cancel last-minute got their money back seamlessly, and she even stepped in to contact the venue when I felt overwhelmed, helping to smooth things out. I cannot recommend Destify highly enough - they played a big role in making our special day so wonderful and stress-free.

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.

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.

We used Shh Events as our day-of coordinators, and Stephanie and her team are absolute rockstars. Caitlin and Vanessa kept us on track, managed setup and tear down (including our DIY flowers!), and somehow throughout all of it captured video moments on a highlight reel that we've re-watched a million times while waiting for our photos to get back! We both agree it was the best money spent to have the team corralling our vendors, creating/sharing timelines, and keeping track of all of the details for us. We were both able to be fully present, enjoy, and even get some solid relaxation time in during our wedding day. Couldn't be happier with our experience.

We could NOT have done our wedding without Janella at Vinella Events. We were looking for a day-of coordinator because we thought it would help us enjoy our day and focus on celebrating with each other and our guests. We had that and more in working with Janella, and I am so thankful she made our wedding day as successful as it was. Janella came recommended to us by our venue, and we first met with her about 4 months before our wedding and went with her 6-week coordination package. We originally just wanted someone to help only for the day of the wedding, but this absolutely was a better deal because she came with us to our venue meetings, helped coordinate our timeline, asked insightful questions for things we never would have even thought of, went through our ceremony with me, and helped me feel SO much more prepared before the wedding through meetings and just being a resource. She helped us run an efficient rehearsal prior to the wedding and coordinated with me so that we would have all of the set-up and items how I wanted them for our wedding day. On the day of the wedding, she went above and beyond in her role. She set up all of our decor, helped facilitate transportation of items, executed the timeline and adapted when things went off time (and importantly, did all of this seamlessly so that myself and the guests didn’t notice), created back-up plans when there were issues with other vendors, coordinated set-up with other vendors, ran to get my lipstick from another room for photos, and too many other things behind the scenes that I didn’t even have to know about because I was able to trust her to tackle them. I had multiple compliments from family members and friends about how organized she was and how kind she was, and she made a 270-person wedding flow seamlessly. She ultimately gave us the ability to just ENJOY the day without having to answer questions or worry about things going on that day. I am so thankful for Janella and would hire her again in a heartbeat. Thank you for everything, Janella!

Hello Couples! Thank you for visiting my listing on Zola! My name is Chelsea, and I am the owner and operator of Finishing Touch Events here in Chicago. With 7 years of coordination and planning experience in social events, primarily weddings, I've seen a little bit of everything. I understand that, along with the excitement of getting engaged and celebrating finding your person, planning a wedding can feel overwhelming. This special event involves all your family and close friends, and it comes with its own unique challenges.

Awarded Best of Zola
I reached out to so many planners/coordinators for my wedding and so many were either slow to respond or did not respond at all. Chelsea was prompt and excited to help, despite my wedding being quite the undertaking. I did my own (faux) flowers, which meant on top of regular day-of duties, she was putting up full floral arrangements, lighting hundreds of candles, and putting together tons of other small details and finishing touches. I can't emphasize this enough - our day would not have come together in the way that it did without her. She was on top of everything and truly made my vision come to life. She was helpful in dealing with other vendors as well, and did everything with a smile on her face. When I came to her days before my wedding with a crazy new surprise, she was down to help. My husband agrees that Chelsea was worth her weight in gold - I would hire her again in a heartbeat. Thank you so much Chelsea for everything you did to make our wedding day go so smoothly.

J's Elevated Dreams

Born and raised in the vibrant city of Chicago, I come from a big, lively, and wonderfully loud Middle Eastern family, my heart has always been set on bringing people together and celebrating love in all its forms. What better way to do that than planning fabulous + unforgettable weddings, birthdays, showers, + more! My friends often turn to me for organizing their events, our travel adventures, & booking our excursions, which sparked the idea: why not make this my career? With over 5 years of professional event planning experience under my belt, I’ve absolutely fallen in love with crafting every little detail to ensure your day is perfect!

From the very beginning, Jen brought a sense of calm and confidence to our wedding planning process. While she was technically our day-of coordinator, she jumped in to support us a full month before the wedding — helping with logistics, vendor coordination, and keeping everything organized and on track. On the big day, she was so attentive, perceptive, and incredibly grounded. She understood the nuances of our family dynamics without needing much direction and handled every moment with grace. I was completely comfortable handing off all vendor communication to her, which allowed me to truly enjoy the day. She listened carefully, wrote things down, and followed through — often within minutes. Her assistants were kind, proactive, and professional, which only added to the sense of trust and ease. Everything felt seamless and intentional. Her communication was clear and efficient, and I genuinely appreciated her adaptability, warmth, and thoughtful attention to all the details — even the ones I didn’t know I needed help with. She didn’t just help us execute a timeline — she helped bring our vision to life. We couldn't imagine our day without her.

I started coordinating/event planning in 2017 by creating, managing, and executing my own nurses brunch which started as a 12 person event and now has grown to hosting over 150 attendees annually. Over the last 3 years I've had the pleasure to plan, coordinate, and execute multiple weddings. What started as a personal hobby has transitioned into a business, and it has been a pleasure to be able to serve couples on their big day. My flat rate fee of $900 bundles all the needs of the couple from start to finish.

Kylie was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding! From the very beginning, their communication style was incredibly client-centered and flexible - she was always quick to respond to our questions and happy to adjust her plans to fit our vision. Kylie truly went above and beyond to make sure our special day was perfect, handling so many behind-the-scenes details that we didn't even know about. Everything flowed seamlessly from start to finish, and we were blown away by how Kylie was able to bring our wedding dreams to life. We couldn't recommend Kylie Coordinates more highly!

We are dedicated to lifting the veil on wedding planning by breaking down the barriers and stigmas of traditional wedding planning, empowering you to make choices that authentically reflect your personal style.

Amanda and her team pulled off miracles to give us our dream wedding day. My husband and I had a highly ambitious timeline with a few wrenches thrown in at the last minute, and Amanda got us to our cocktail hour, while still allowing our photographer to snap perfect family photos. She arranged the world’s most epic transition from our romantic first dance to our super fun planetarium dance floor with a saxophone solo. She calmed my family members down when needed - and they all told me how much they appreciated Amanda’s guidance and direction during our rehearsal. And did it all with a smile. Amanda and her team know the BEST vendors in Chicago, and work tirelessly on making your wedding feel like “you” by helping you choose the right details. They truly care so much about giving their clients their dream weddings - from the champagne flute name cards to the ceremony audio to the florals, music, speeches, and dance floor, the hotel room setup and welcome party food, the makeup artists and invitation suite (all our guests raved about the invites)…and the list goes on.

At Amorella, we're more than just planners; we're your confidants and problem solvers, dedicated to making your dreams a reality. Our passion lies in the details, meticulous organization, and a creative flair for solutions, allowing us to craft weddings that not only fulfill dreams but also celebrate the diverse love stories of every couple we serve. It’s our honor to ensure you feel supported and understood every step of the way to bringing your dream day to life.

Amorella Events was nothing short of a godsend for us. Words cannot fully capture the depth of our gratitude and admiration for Jennifer, Katherine, and the entire Amorella team. Their dedication knows no bounds - they will do absolutely anything for the people they work with, bringing to every task a level of care, professionalism, and enthusiasm that is truly rare. What began as a simple relationship between a wedding coordinator and a client evolved into a genuine friendship. From the earliest stages of planning, Jennifer and Katherine provided an extraordinary level of service and support. Months before the wedding, they familiarized themselves with every detail - reviewing vendor contracts line by line, communicating proactively with vendors and the venue, and preparing an array of essential materials: detailed itineraries, comprehensive to-do lists, and precise day-of schedules. Their meticulous approach ensured that every aspect of the event ran seamlessly. In fact, their attention to detail saved us from several near disasters- one example being the “dance floor” included in the design company’s invoice was only the vinyl covering, not the dance floor itself. This was only to be found in the fine print. The scope and quality of their work are remarkable, but what truly sets Amorella apart is that they don’t simply offer a service, they create an experience. From day one, that experience is defined by thoughtfulness, grace, and a sense of genuine care. The Amorella team treats you like family- not just the bride and groom, but every guest. At one point during our reception, one of our guests began feeling unwell. Jennifer not only offered immediate help but followed up three separate times throughout the evening to ensure she was comfortable. That level of compassion and attentiveness is extraordinary and deeply meaningful. Jennifer and Katherine are, above all, honest, kind, and exceptional individuals who strive to lift the weight of wedding planning from your shoulders so that you can actually enjoy the process. They provide candid, constructive feedback, always act in your best interest, and remain your steadfast advocates- even in moments when you might not be the easiest to please. And importantly, they embody true class. Their elegance, poise, and taste elevate every event they touch and we had countless compliments by our guests on their level of professionalism. A quick glance at Amorella’s Instagram page offers a glimpse of their impeccable style, but it’s their creativity, and refinement that make their work truly unforgettable. We cannot say enough about this incredible team. Jennifer, Katherine, and the entire Amorella family brought our wedding to life in ways we never imagined possible. While we had expected that some sort of “disaster” would inevitably occur on our big day, they ensured that not even the smallest mishap could take place. If you have the chance to work with Amorella Events, take it, I promise it will be the single best decision you make in planning your wedding.

With a shared passion for celebrating love, they specialize in crafting JOY-filled weddings that are thoughtfully curated to reflect each couple’s unique story. Their personalized approach ensures that every detail is intentional, meaningful, and seamlessly executed. Whether you're seeking comprehensive planning or expert guidance along the way, truejoyweddings offers an elevated, heartfelt experience designed to bring your wedding vision to life with intentionality, grace, and joy.

Alicia and Deric met and exceeded any and all of our expectations in relation to our wedding day. We had a bit of a unique circumstance and ended up hiring the duo about two months before our wedding. We previously had a very poor experience with another wedding planner whom we had to terminate our contract with. Alicia handled our day-of coordination with ease and professionalism. We had about one call per week starting 7 weeks before our wedding and Alicia handled every last detail that I would have forgotten about. The day of the wedding, Alicia was present with me (bride) throughout the morning and made sure everything was on schedule and in order. She managed and communicated with our vendors to ensure everything ran smoothly. She had previously made a very detailed Day-Of Itinerary that we followed and additionally made a separate itinerary for our families to follow. Deric ensured everything at the venue was set up properly and ready for our reception to begin. Alicia and Deric continuously checked in on my husband and I, in addition to my family, which I thought was an incredibly thoughtful touch. My only regret is not hiring them sooner for full planning. Alicia and Deric, we are so grateful for your work. You made our day perfect.

I didn't think I needed day of coordinators but BOY WAS I WRONG - they made my wedding absolutely perfect and beautiful. I want to get married again so I can hang out with Myr and Ry again all day.

Ok, so we weren’t actual clients, but hear me out! My niece was getting married in the same venue as her wedding. Unfortunately, my niece’s wedding coordinator didn’t show up. Candice had a few quick moments while waiting for her wedding party to go inside and noticed a couple details that were off. She took a brief second to make a suggestion and fix my niece’s dress before she walked down the aisle. You can tell craft is her passion! She didn’t take any attention from her bride, in fact, I’m sure without this review the bride would have never known. However, when something is your passion you enjoy what you do and share your heart when you need to. I just wanted to say a quick THANK YOU for those few fleeting moments of assistance.

As an Entertainment Director/Event Manager myself, I’m blown away by Franklin. It was important for me to hire someone I could trust to handle the organization for my wedding day. After our first meeting with Franklin, I knew he understood what we wanted. I was thrilled to know he was available for our wedding, and I feel like we couldn’t have made a better choice. Before the wedding day, I was so relieved when Franklin came over to pick up all the decor. He even stopped by on the morning of the wedding to check on us and pick up any last-minute items. This alone really touched me because many people don’t go that extra mile, but Franklin does! I was seriously stressing about how to get those items delivered, and Franklin came right along and eased all that stress! He took our ideas and exceeded our expectations. We are Funko Pop collectors, so we wanted a fun way to incorporate them into our wedding decor, and he did it with ease. He surprised us several times throughout the event, and those memories are some of my favorite moments. When he revealed the reception dining room, which he had decorated for us, I was filled with chills. I couldn’t believe he took my simple idea and made it look so GRAND; it was next level. Then we walked over to the cookie and cake table, where I was seriously at a loss for words. I was blown away by the details he displayed in his decorating. It seemed like a scene from a movie. Before walking down the aisle, we learned that one of our food caterers was extremely late delivering the food and potentially wasn’t going to deliver it at all. Franklin was calm but still urgent in his demeanor, and I totally appreciated his proactive professionalism. Moments like these can really test any event coordinator's patience and could cause a domino effect. I don’t know exactly what happened or what he did, but all the food was there and ready to be served when it was time to eat. Our guests LOVED our wedding. They all mentioned how different and elevated our wedding was, and I’m 100% sure that had a lot to do with Franklin’s hard work. We wanted something unique, and he delivered. Overall, I’m truly grateful to have met Franklin and want to also shine some light on his assistant, Will. Both of their A, fun, efficacious attitudes just make everything better. I was able to kick back and watch my wedding day unfold beautifully. For those who work in events/entertainment, you know how hard it is to go to any event and not feel like you’re working, especially your own event (lol). Franklin is a star, and I’m sure he’s going to go far in the event business. He understands the importance of an event and how each event is personally unique. Most importantly, he takes the time to know and understand his clients.

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!

I would highly recommend Cherry on Top Creative Planning. Camille took the time to listen to every detail of our vision and brought it to life in ways I couldn't have even imagined. Her attention to detail was truly impressive. She is kind and just the type of person you want with you on such a happy day. At the same time, she can be assertive and take charge when needed. Our guests were blown away by the entire experience, and we couldn't have been happier with how everything turned out. She is not just a wedding planner; she is a true partner in making dreams come true. We highly recommend Camille and the Cherry on Top Creative Planning Team to any couple looking for a planner who will go above and beyond.

I am a professional wedding photographer and found that working with Elizabeth in the capacity of wedding coordinator was overall a great experience! She was very professional and prompt with her communication and her actions on day-of were nothing less than above the bar!!

She also made sure I was completely stress-free on the day, which was the primary reason we wanted a day-of coordinator.
