Trust me, you should hire Monique for your wedding
I cannot stress enough how much you NEED Monique as your wedding planner. We are so happy we had Monique with us for the month of our wedding to communicate with vendors, advise, keep us calm, get orders in... so much more. On the weekend of our wedding, she calmly wrangled our wedding party and family for rehearsal, made our venue look dreamier than we envisioned, and kept everything running smoothly. She even took beautiful photos and videos that we got to see the NEXT DAY which was really special for us. She goes above and beyond; I really can't imagine anyone else doing a better job.

Monique Made Our Day Perfect
When we started planning our wedding, we knew we wanted a planner or coordinator to at least set up our venue so our friends and family wouldn't have to worry about it. Monique was recommended to us, and she truly went above and beyond our expectations. Not only did Monique and her assistant perfectly set up our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception space, they stayed throughout the night to make sure everything ran smoothly. They worked closely with the day-of venue staff to help keep everything running as expected and on schedule. Working with Monique allowed my husband and I to feel more like the "guests of honor" on our wedding day instead of the party planners, and because of that we were able to be fully present with each other and our guests and enjoy our day to the fullest. I could keep going, but truly our experience working with Monique was amazing and we cannot recommend her services enough to any couple planning their wedding.

Best decision ever!!
I’m so grateful to have found Monique to be my month of wedding coordinator for me and my husband, Alec’s special day. We initially connected at White Dress off the Rack and she helped me find my dream dress! Even though my husband and I decided to do the month of coordinator package, Monique offered help well before the month of the big day. She was always very responsive to my many emails or texts and helpful when I had a question or a concern with a vendor or needed recommendations. She kept me and my husband organized with what we needed to get done and helped us curate a day-of timeline that fit with what we wanted for our wedding day. She maintained clear communication between me and all the vendors about every detail leading up to the day. She also assisted with our rehearsal the night before and of course, became the spokesperson for all things timeline, details, where to go, etc. on the day of the wedding. Since she’s been in this industry for so long, she has tons of contacts and good relationships with some of the best vendors from Milwaukee for your special day. Also, my other vendors from the day couldn’t say enough good things about Monique, especially her organization and communications skills, a vital part of a very hectic day! Along with her amazing coordinator skills, Monique is so kind, thoughtful, and has such a relaxed presence to her that helped ease a lot of my stress. If you are thinking about hiring a day of coordinator or wedding planner, you absolutely need to consider Monique. She is a superwoman. She made my husband and I’s wedding day run so smoothly. I seriously could not have done it without her. Alec and I are forever grateful that Monique was a part of it.
Monique Cunningham•Aug 19, 2026Maggie, I don’t even know where to begin. ♥ From helping you find your dream dress at White Dress to standing at the back of the aisle in full tears, it truly felt like such a full-circle moment! Your wedding day was one I won’t soon forget. Every detail felt so thoughtful, personal & filled with so much love. And that choreographed first dance will forever hold an extra-special place in my heart knowing you chose the same song Jc and I danced to on our wedding day. 🥹 Getting to support you both throughout the planning process & calm the nerves when things felt overwhelming is exactly why I love what I do. You trusted me, welcomed me in & made me feel like so much more than your coordinator. And when you asked me at the end of the night Now what? Can I still text you?” 🥹♡ The answer is obviously YES. I’m not going anywhere! I hope this is just the beginning of staying in touch, celebrating all the life moments ahead & watching your marriage grow. I’m so, SO grateful our paths crossed, Maggie, and I’ll always be cheering you & Alec on!

Monique made our wedding the most perfect day!
Monique was absolutely amazing and helped us plan the most perfect day. From the timeline to the final details, she executed everything flawlessly. We never saw the final setup of our ballroom until we returned from our ceremony. Before guests entered, Monique arranged a private room reveal for us, and she did everything we asked for and more. The room was set up perfectly and exceeded our expectations. The coordination between all of our vendors was outstanding. She made sure everyone was where they needed to be, on time, and that every detail was taken care of throughout the day. We cannot express enough how grateful we are for Monique and her assistants. One of the things we appreciated most was that she genuinely wanted us to enjoy our wedding day more than anything else. At one point, we asked if we were running behind schedule, and she simply said, “We’re on your time today.” That reassurance immediately put us at ease and allowed us to fully enjoy one of the best days of our lives. Thank you, Monique! We would highly recommend her to anyone looking for an exceptional wedding coordinator. Her professionalism, organization, attention to detail, and calming presence made all the difference, and we are so thankful she was a part of our special day. — Luc & Lauren

There are really no words to say how absolutely LIFESAVING it was to have Monique coordinate our wedding!!! From the start of the process with filling out our questionnaire to packing up the end of the night, she is THE most detail-oriented, efficient, get things done professional. She is so warm, welcoming, and open to getting to know your vision and making it happen. We had quite a large bridal party with multiple events, and her wedding master document made it so much easier to keep everything and everyone organized and make sure nothing was missed. People always say to expect something to go wrong on your wedding day, it's not going to be perfect, but honestly nothing was missed and it was everything we could have hoped for. All of our decor and details were in place, everything was accounted for at the end of the night, and so many people in our party commented what a perfect combination she was of "professional and firm but friendly and not overbearing at all." I have been recommending Monique to anyone and everyone, do yourself a favor and hire THE BEST in the business with Monique!!!!
Monique Cunningham•Jan 2, 2026HOF 🖤 I mean… come ON. This day was pure magic in every sense of the word. From your flower gay & the spellbook ring box, to those adorable Funko Pops on the cake table & your personalized shotskis doubling as the guest book... Iconic doesn't even begin to cover it! Not to mention those custom Wolski’s favors. You better believe I still have my “I closed the Hofprice wedding” sticker!! Truly, every single detail was so unapologetically YOU. ✧˖°.☾ Add in the Lakefront Quartet casually playing Backstreet Boys & Death Cab for Cutie for the ceremony, your cat pillows making their way from the couches to the sweetheart table & not me fully sprinting to the dance floor when Defying Gravity came on 🩷💚 absolute chaos in the best way. Also… how are you already coming up on your one-year anniversary?! Truly rude how fast time flies. Forever grateful for your trust, your friendship, and letting me be part of such a wildly special, witchy, one-of-a-kind day 🔮🐈⬛🪄
