About At-The-Altar, LLC

At-The-Altar

Owner / Coordinator

Hi! My name is Liz I am the owner and lead coordinator for At-The-Altar. I started At-The-Altar back in 2018 as an officiating service with our first job of officiating my sisters wedding and today we've expanded to 6 Officiants, 2 Lead Coordinators and 3 Assistant coordinator. We absolutely love what we do and can't wait to be apart of your big day!

What sets us apart? Our drive to provide not only what we put in writing but going above and beyond the contract. Becoming your decor pro when your hired vendor is a no-show, carrying tables & chairs during a room flip because the venue is short staff. And we do it all with a smile because it's your day and our pleasure!

In three words: Collaborative, Efficient, Flexible

    Book a planner!

    If anyone ever asks me for wedding advice, the first thing I would say is to book a day-of coordinator. Booking At-the-Altar gave us so much peace of mind leading up to/on our wedding day, especially since we were planning our wedding from out of state. Liz was such a great communicator leading up to our wedding day, helping us finalize our day-of timeline and communicating with all our vendors to make sure everyone was on the same page and no details were missed. On the day-of, Ariel and Mike kept everything running smoothly. They were the ones working behind the scenes so that we and our families could actually enjoy the day! They are so affordable especially compared to the Chicago market. I'd highly recommend them to anyone who is getting married in the Chicago area.

    Day of coordinator

    Liz and the team at At-The-Altar were an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding. From the very first interaction, Liz's communication was professional, fast, and incredibly organized. She was dedicated, hard-working, and ensured our special day ran like clockwork. Liz met with my mom and I in person to thoroughly understand all the details and where we needed her help. She was responsive throughout the entire process and went above and beyond to make sure every part of our wedding was perfect. I highly recommend working with Liz and the At-The-Altar team - they are true professionals who will make your wedding day stress-free and unforgettable.

    Great hands-on help for day of coordination

    Liz and Ariel were great! They provided great hands-on help and support, ensuring everything went smoothly on the day of our wedding. They arrived on time and precisely followed all of our setup directions. They stayed the entire night to make sure everything ran according to plan, and we never had to worry about a single detail. Thanks to At-The-Altar's professionalism and dedication, we were able to fully enjoy our wedding celebration without a single hitch. We highly recommend them to any couple planning their big day.

    Professional and great to work with!

    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!! It was my first time working with Liz and I found that she knew the right questions to ask me (as the photographer) and how to make it a great and easy experience for the couple. I was and am very pleased and put them immediately on the referral list for preferred vendors because of how great they were to work with! 10 out of 10 would recommend and cannot wait to work with them in the future!
