About grayterevents
grayterevents
Working out of Lombard, IL, I am a type A planner from the very center of my heart. I love lists, schedules, budgets, and all things organized. Weddings are my passion because they involve so much coordinated detail in every phase of the day from start to finish. I love to see my client's vision for their special day come together with every check off the to do list. I have been coordinating weddings since early 2018, but have been networking in the industry for several years now. I love working with all of the gorgeous venues we have here in the suburbs of Chicago and can't wait to get started planning your dream wedding.
I like to pride myself on my positive attitude, calm, collected demeanor, and budget conscious spirit. I can work with any budget to create a vision you will love and I carry out that vision as a team player with the rest of your vendors because we are in fact a team together to bring your dream to life.
In three words: Calm, Collaborative, Efficient

Stellar Service
BreAnn was absolutely fantastic. From the moment we met, everything just clicked. She was communicative and organized. Even when things started to fall apart at the finish line, she kept her. She sourced a last minute vendor for us because someone canceled week of. Despite the chaos and complexities, it was just absolutely perfect in every way imaginable. We love Bre so much. Any bride who works with her will have nothing short of the best day. You're amazing Bre, I want you to know how much I treasure the opportunity to have gotten to work with you.

Hire Breann asap!!!
Breann is 1000% the day of coordinator you need for your wedding. She is so professional, organized, kind, thoughtful and so so easy to work with. She attended our planning meeting with our venue, checked in a handful of times throughout the wedding process and was there for 12 hours the day of our wedding. She truly thinks of everything and has it all. Our officiant was STUNG by a WASP during her speech and Breann gave her benadryl immediately after the ceremony. She was so prepared! She set up all of our centerpieces, decor and was such a helpful resource day of the wedding and beforehand. I can not recommend her enough! Truly the best of the best and I am recommending her to anyone I know that has a wedding in the future.

Best Wedding Coordinator!!!
If there is one piece of advice I would give during wedding planning it is to hire a coordinator, but not just any coordinator, hire BreAnn & her team at Grayter Events. I don’t even know where to begin. She was incredibly kind, genuine, calm and always one step ahead. One of my biggest concerns was who was going to set up all my decor and details exactly how I want them for the day of the wedding. I had a vision and wasn’t sure I could find someone who understood that vision. But BreAnn was exceptional and surpassed my expectations. She placed every item exactly where and how I wanted it. It was PERFECT! Not to mention she also boxed every item back up at the end of the night which made pickup and cleanup a breeze. She handled everything and more at the Rehearsal and wedding. My husband and I truly didn’t have to think about much and nobody bothered us with any questions or concerns because she was everyone’s go to. She made sure we were able to enjoy our night and our event went exactly as planned. The month of our wedding she handled finalizations with our vendors, created our timeline and was super patient with all of the changes that we requested. On top of that she ran errands for us the morning of, which was a BIG help. We felt nothing but support from her the entire process. It’s clear why so many brides love her.
Breann Gray•Aug 10, 2026Aw thank you so much Jenna! It was so lovely getting to help out on your special day. Congrats again!

BreAnn is the best!!
Wow... just wow. I am SO beyond grateful that I chose Grayter Events for my day-of wedding coordination. It was truly one of the best decisions I made for my wedding. Everything went so perfectly and seamlessly, and I didn't have to stress about a single thing the entire day because BreAnn had it all covered. She thought of absolutely everything. I think she opened at least 10 water bottles for me just to make sure I was actually drinking water! She was always one step ahead, making sure I had everything I needed before I even realized I needed it. Even at the rehearsal, I didn't have to do anything. BreAnn jumped right in, knew exactly what to do, and confidently took charge. She was organized, calm, and assertive in the best way possible. Watching her handle so many moving pieces without ever looking stressed was honestly incredible. Her calmness helped keep me calm too. Because of BreAnn, I was actually able to be fully present and enjoy every second of my wedding day instead of worrying about timelines, vendors, or what was happening next. She made my wedding day exactly what I had dreamed of, and I will forever be thankful for everything she did. If you're on the fence about hiring a wedding coordinator, DO IT—and hire Grayter Events. I truly cannot recommend BreAnn and her team enough. She is beyond organized, so kind, incredibly hardworking, and genuinely cares about making your day perfect. She is simply the best, and I can't imagine my wedding day without her.
