Most importantly, we do care as much as you do.

Perfectly Planned LLC truly went above and beyond to make our wedding day perfect, and I couldn't recommend them more highly.

Acceptionale is a premium wedding planning and design studio specializing in refined celebrations where every detail is intentionally considered. We believe exceptional weddings are defined not only by beautiful design, but by the absence of unnecessary friction. From concept development and vendor curation to seamless execution, we create experiences that feel effortless, elevated, and deeply personal.

I've had the opportunity to work with Tiffany for both wedding-related planning and other special events, and every time she exceeds my expectations. She has an incredible eye for design, thinks through every detail, and somehow makes even the most complicated logistics feel effortless. What stands out most is her ability to truly listen and create experiences that feel personal rather than one-size-fits-all. Whether it's a wedding or another meaningful celebration, she brings the same level of creativity, professionalism, and genuine care to every event. Tiffany also has a unique ability to anticipate details I never would have considered, which made the entire process feel seamless from beginning to end. While her services are certainly an investment, they were worth every dollar and then some. If you're looking for someone who can transform an idea into something beautiful while keeping the process organized and stress-free, I can't recommend Acceptionale enough.

I had the pleasure of working with Kim as our day-of wedding coordinator, and I couldn't be more thrilled with her services. From the moment we hired her, she exuded professionalism, organization, and a genuine passion for ensuring our day was perfect. Kim took charge from the get-go, coordinating with vendors, creating timelines, and ensuring every detail was in place. Her proactive approach alleviated so much stress for both myself and my husband, allowing us to fully enjoy our special day without worrying about the logistics. Her attention to detail was impeccable, and it was evident that she knew her responsibilities inside and out. From coordinating the ceremony to ensuring the reception ran smoothly, Kim was always one step ahead, anticipating any potential issues and swiftly resolving them.

I'm Hannah - Your Day-Of Wedding Chaos Coordinator! I love helping couples actually enjoy their wedding day instead of stressing about it! Allow me to handle all of those small details on your wedding day and the weeks leading up to it- so you don't have to! I act as the main point of contact on your day fielding questions, handling issues, and ensuring the day is running smoothly and on-time! Allow your bridal party and family to enjoy the day like you envisioned! I am a planner and list maker by nature - I couldn't live without my To-Do lists. I cannot wait to help you make your big day the most magical day that you deserve!

Hannah was amazing! She hit the ground running as soon as we hired her for our wedding and was always available for a call, email, or even text. She was great in making sure we had everything we needed wrapped up and being the communication hub for our vendors the closer we got to the date. My fiance and I wanted to pick our vendors and plan the majority of our wedding ourselves but having some help near the end when all the details need to come together was instrumental in making sure we enjoyed our planning process without feeling overwhelmed. Hannah handled all of our vendor load in and all our decor set up. Your wedding day is a roller coaster of emotions but I never once had to worry about what was happening at our venue because Hannah had it under control. I didn't need to field one question!

Our team specializes in day-of wedding coordination, but happily take on full planning of events, corporate parties, family gatherings, and à la carte services for whatever event you are putting together!

As a Type B person, I was also a Type B bride. Amber and her team saved me from suffering through the planning process and day of coordination alone. I didn’t know I was going to have to care about the way napkins were folded, have to make name cards with individual pictograms of what each guest ordered, or even have a timeline to hand over to the venue. Amber made it so easy by guiding me through the process and sharing her expertise when I was one minute away from calling the whole thing off to get a courthouse wedding instead. Our day was absolutely gorgeous and we are so, so glad we didn’t go the courthouse route! Amber helped me prepare everything early so I didn’t have the stress the month before trying to tie up loose ends. The day of coordination from her and her team was an absolute dream. I didn’t have to worry about a single thing and all questions from the venue and other staff was handled expertly by her team who were so well prepared. I cannot recommend Amber Nicole Creates enough!

Haylie and her team are absolutely incredible to work with. I very quickly got overwhelmed with wedding planning and needed some extra help. Haylie was patient with me as we had several consult calls before we officially booked. She immediately felt like a friend and someone I could trust. I am a type A person and felt nervous to not have total control over the wedding planning process or day. Haylie followed up on every detail, question, and thought. She never let any email or message go unanswered and was attentive to every detail. I felt very secure with her. She allowed me to relax and focus on the fun parts of wedding planning and she handled vendor coordination, logistics, and other things I never even thought of. She was always available and flexible during the planning process. The day of the wedding, everything was so smooth and there were no issues or hiccups. I fully credit Haylie and her team for the seamless day. She went above and beyond to make sure the day was perfect.

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
Working with Blair was probably the best decision we made during the process of planning our wedding. My husband and I both work 9-5 corporate jobs, and we knew that we needed to bring someone onto our “wedding team” that would help keep us on track with all of the milestones during the wedding planning process. From the get-go, over our 15-month planning period, Blair was always transparent about timing and was a master of following up regarding timelines, without ever badgering us or coming across as controlling. She spent over an hour discussing budgets with us and our families early on, to make sure that everything we planned stayed in the budget range that we’d all agreed upon. This was especially helpful during our venue and vendor selection process. She helped us find that blew our socks off, and also found us the most wonderful florist (@thelocalpetaler) who was able to provide us way more bang for our buck than any florist we’d be able to find on our own - a huge advantage. While we had our venue already picked out, Blair was able to recommend a food and beverage package with an available catering company that fell delivered us fantastic food and a premium beverage package that fit our budget. 

Leading up to the wedding, Blair was also a master in helping us coordinate our wedding day planning including family photos, transportation e.g. coordinating our bus between multiple hotels and the venue while making it easy for us to just focus on ourselves. The peace of mind that Blair brought us throughout the planning process, week of, and day of our wedding made having our wedding a cakewalk rather than a headache. Spending the money to hire Blair was the best decision we could’ve made for our wedding!

Through our business, we focus on thoughtful planning, clear communication, and detailed coordination to bring each couple’s vision to life. We love getting to know our clients, understanding what matters most to them, and turning those ideas into a celebration that feels personal and intentional. Seeing everything come together and watching couples be fully present with their family and friends is what makes wedding planning so rewarding to us.

Chicagoland brides, if you’re currently searching for a wedding planner or on the fence, this review is for you! From one bride to another, hear me out — The Event Chicago is the one. Period. There’s no one better equipped to plan your wedding than Lety and her team. The level of experience and expertise, not to mention the warmth and kindness that they all bring, is next level. Seriously, watching them in action — they’re like the SEAL Team 6 of weddings! The best part? They make sure that the bride and groom’s needs are taken care of above all else. For the entire year leading up to the wedding, our biggest advocate and support system was Lety. She was always quick to respond, creating a constant and reliable channel of communication. Any confusion or ambiguity during the planning process was immediately addressed or resolved. She handled every question, issue, or idea right away, and without judgement! That is what drew me to this team in the first place. From the very first conversation that I had with Lety, I could tell that she cared about our day and us as a couple. She made it known immediately that she had our backs and she was going to do everything possible to make my ‘colorful’ and ‘vibrant’ vision a reality! On the actual day, we were able to make this happen and the space was exactly as I had imagined it! Our guests were gawking at the decor and raving about the small details that we had curated. Behind the scenes, this was weeks and weeks of constant back and forth conversations. Tweaking and updating and pivoting. Throughout it all, Lety’s dedication and commitment never wavered! At the end of the night, the people were lit and the vibes were so high that no one wanted to leave the dance floor! I had to physically usher people towards the exit. I think based on that, we can say that the night was a huge success! Big THANK YOU to Lety and team. Abe and I appreciate you all SO MUCH. Wouldn’t have been possible with you all!!!

Center of Attention was a dream to work with for our wedding. Maggie, our planner, was punctual, direct and to the point in her communication style, which we greatly appreciated during the busy planning process. The attention to detail and composure she and her team brought to our special day was invaluable. They made sure our wedding venue and ceremony were perfect, just as we had envisioned. Maggie stayed true to the timeline and ensured all vendors were in place and ready to go. As this was our first and only wedding, Maggie took the time to get to know us and provided great input that kept us calm under pressure the whole time.

Where to begin! Cylee was recommended to my husband and I through our amazing Dj at 3rd Shift Djs. She proved to be just as fantastic! We met with her regarding month-of planning services, and she definitely delivered. As a pretty spastic person that isn't the biggest fan of planning, I knew I needed someone that could keep me in line when it came to getting final details together and communicate with my vendors. Cylee came and proved why she is the best at her job! She kept us organized, was available via text, facetime, google meetings, etc whenever we needed something. Our wedding day went off without a hitch. I was completely unaware what time it was all day, able to stay in the moment because she was on top of everything and kept us on schedule. I cannot say enough wonderful things about her. She is one of the sweetest people you'll ever meet, she cares deeply about her job and the folks she works with, and she has a keen eye for the details. My husband and I had the best day ever, and Cylee is a huge reason why! If you're looking for someone to help make your day as magical as mine, she's exactly who you're looking for!!! We love her!

I cannot recommend Sarah enough! While I initially thought I just needed someone for the “day of,” I quickly realized how much goes into wedding coordination in the weeks and months leading up to the big day—and Sarah was there every step of the way. She went so far above and beyond what I ever expected, and I truly don’t know how I would have gotten through the wedding planning process, or the actual day, without her. From the moment we started working together, Sarah brought a sense of calm, professionalism, and thoughtfulness to everything. She is kind, incredibly organized, detail-oriented, and somehow manages to be both relaxed and hard-working at the same time. Every detail was thought through, every vendor was communicated with, and every little hiccup was handled before I even had time to worry about it. On my wedding day, I was able to be fully present and soak it all in, because I knew Sarah had everything under control. If you’re on the fence about whether you need a day-of coordinator, don’t overthink it—hire Sarah. She is a true gem, and you’ll be so glad to have her in your corner.

I don’t want to imagine how our wedding would have went without Christina & Lauren from I do Memorable Occasions. On a budget and initially hesitant about the need for Planning and Coordination, we chose the Partial Package for 2800, and it was worth every . From the beggining, Lauren and Christina took the reins and kept us moving forward meeting the deadlines we needed to. They helped us find the 5 vendors we selected, vetted them, got us to the prices we needed for each service, and stayed in touch with them along the way. Our wedding day coordinator Christina met with us in person at the venue, and twice over the phone (One of them with our photographer) to nail down the timeline of the day. She listened to our wants but more importantly kept us honest about what was possible and how long things would take. The day of the wedding Christina was simply amazing. She cooly worked under pressure both at the hotel and the church to get everyone ready to go on time. You can’t coordinate at the church without a coordinator or everything going thru Bridge/Groom. Then she went to the venue and worked quickly to get everything we wanted setup in just the right way. One there she kept us on schedule, herded the bridal party and our family, and kept the 2 of us on schedule. She always met us with a smile and 2 drinks when we needed them.

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!

Alyson served as our day-of coordinator in August of 2024, but she got to work well ahead of our big day. She spent a generous amount of time understanding our vision, our preferences, and our non-negotiables. She was on site with us for venue walkthroughs and established communication with our vendors ahead of time. She also checked in with us regularly to make sure we were on track. She was a bona fide problem solver, including helping our DJ sort out access issues with our venue, ensuring our guests didn’t walk through our aisle before the ceremony, and running across the street at the eleventh hour to buy eyelash glue. She even helped us bustle the wedding dress between the ceremony and reception when we couldn’t figure it out.

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.

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 8 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.

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.

Jojo is wonderful to work with, she listens to your input doesn’t force you to do things that will increase your budget. The day of the wedding, Jojo had full control of everything and did not worry me with vendor issues. Jojo made my wedding a successful wedding because of how smooth everything went. If something did not go has planned she will step up and find other alternatives. She is wonderful to work with and I’m glad I chose Jokay’s event. I will forever sing her praises!

Awarded Best of Zola
We couldn't have asked for a better experience working with Cloud 9 Weddings. Ally was handling an Assyrian ceremony for the first time, but she approached it with genuine curiosity and embraced all of our unique traditions without hesitation. From start to finish, her communication was crystal clear—she kept decisions documented, tracked open items, and made sure we were always aligned on what was happening next. On the day of our wedding, she handled everything seamlessly: transporting items between our ceremony and reception sites, organizing vendor arrival instructions, and ensuring the venue setup matched our design vision perfectly. Ally brought such positive energy and attention to detail to every aspect of the planning process. We'd recommend Cloud 9 Weddings to any couple looking for a coordinator who truly cares about getting things right.

Our wedding was magical because of Rachelle. It simply would not have been as enchanting, seamless, or memorable without her. Dedication, therapy, comfort, coordination, organization, reminders, recommendations, zip ties, friendship—and so much more. She is incredible. You can trust her. She is on it. One of my favorite memories of the wedding is being with her and the venue staff near the end of the evening. Everyone was smiling, feeling accomplished, and asking how I was doing—as they had throughout the entire day. There was so much joy and pride in that moment. Victory! We did it. They made it possible! My best man, our officiant, and my parents all commented on how hard she worked. Our wedding had 225 guests, many moving parts, and nearly endless details. Rachelle was always game to do something new, embraced our ideas, and brought her years of experience with her to guide us. We are incredibly thankful that we chose to collaborate with Rachelle. Far more than an investment - She cared about our wedding as if it were her own, and helped make 10,000 memories along the way.

We cannot say enough great things about Michelle and her team at Bustle and Lace! Our wedding at The Fairlie in Chicago was an absolute dream—and it all ran flawlessly, thanks to her incredible work. From the very beginning, Michelle was a true professional and a calming presence. She maintained consistent and clear communication throughout the planning process and scheduled regular meetings to keep us on track with important milestones. She took charge of organizing with our many vendors—often without needing our involvement, which was a huge relief as the day approached. Michelle is incredibly well-established in the Chicagoland wedding scene and has clearly built strong relationships with many of the most popular local vendors—photographers, bands, DJs, caterers, florists, venues—you name it. That familiarity made coordination seamless and stress-free, and it was clear she had worked with many of our vendors before, which gave us even more peace of mind. She created a detailed, thoughtful timeline that covered everything from the bridal party’s hair and makeup arrival to the band’s final song and the venue teardown. Thanks to her preparation and the hard work of her team, everything went according to schedule without a single hiccup. On the wedding day itself, we were able to be fully present, knowing we were in the best hands. We didn’t have to worry about a thing and could simply enjoy every moment with our family and friends. We’re so grateful to Michelle and Bustle and Lace for making our wedding day stress-free and unforgettable. If you're considering a wedding coordinator, look no further—you’ll be so glad you booked her!
