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

Thank you BreAnn!
BreAnn was an absolute dream to work with! I had no idea what we were getting into when it came to planning a wedding, but BreAnn made the process seamless. She is beyond patient, calm, and gave us great advice and recommendations in the months leading up to our wedding. When it came to the month of our wedding, she was so helpful in guiding us with the final decisions and organizing the final timeline for our day. She handled so many details the day of and was a huge help in communicating with our vendors. Her assistant Lauren was also so helpful and organized! We cannot recommend BreAnn and her team enough.
Response from vendor•Dec 8, 2025Thank you so much Kate! It was a pleasure working with your entire family. Thank you for the trust and confidence on your special day. Congrats again!The BEST planner in Chicago!
As a fellow wedding pro for over 15 years you can say we've worked with a planner or two in our time. :-) BreAnn and her team are truly incredible to work with! Each time we get to pair up it's truly a dream team! BreAnn is so organized, communicative and calm - which is an important one. There is bound to be a snag or two leading up to and on the wedding day and you want a planner in your corner who is calm and that can pivot with ease. We love getting to work with BreAnn, her team and all of the couples we have the joy to help co-create their best day ever with. We can't recommend Grayer Events enough!
Response from vendor•Dec 2, 2025Ah Thank you so much Jessica! You are too kind and I really appreciate it. Can't wait to work together again soon!Thank you, BreAnn!
BreAnn is amazing! Hiring her was one of the best choices we made for our wedding. She was responsive, organized, thoughtful, and helped bring our vision to life. Thanks to her, our rehearsal and wedding day went smoothly, and everything looked beautiful! If you’re considering hiring her for your wedding, you won’t regret it! Thank you, BreAnn!
Grayterevents is the Best
Bree and the team at Grayterevents were an absolute dream to work with for our backyard wedding reception. With just under 200 guests, this was no small affair, but Bree's punctual and clear communication put us at ease every step of the way. Her team was incredibly helpful, quickly getting a broken outlet fixed the morning of the wedding so everything ran smoothly. The quality of their work was top-tier, and we could not have had the wedding of our dreams without their trustworthy expertise. Bree and her team went above and beyond to make our special day truly unforgettable. If you are looking for a coordinator, look no further. Grayterevents is the best!
Response from vendor•Nov 12, 2025Aw thank you so much Lilly! I truly appreciate it and so grateful to be a part of your special day. Congrats again!
