I hired Gthr for day of coordination a few months before my wedding. I’m a very hands on bride who planned every detail of my wedding, but am so thankful I hired Sarah & her team. I did have some last minute decor questions & requests and Gthr partnered with me on making them a reality! We worked together on floral design, beautiful vine walls, additional lighting, and everything in between. Sarah had a baby a week before my wedding and still showed up, helped with set up, and assisted in managing last minute hiccups and issues with my vendors. She went above & beyond. I highly recommend hiring her team for your next event!

Carolyn made it a piece of cake to plan our wedding. My wife and I live in California and even with time zone differences and being unable to come visit the venue until the event, Carolyn made it simple with quick and clear communication. She made it all come together without feeling like a ton of effort and the day-of coordination was the best of all. We were "along for the ride" on wedding day and had an awesome time because we were free to focus on what mattered the most to us: our friends and family! Carolyn's behind-the-scenes efforts paid off wonderfully and I'd recommend her services to anyone in a similar situation.

Her attention to detail and ability to handle any situation that arises with grace and ease allows her couples to relax and enjoy their wedding day. Lindsay not only plans weddings for our Simply Elegant couples but also trains our entire team of planners to ensure that every Simply Elegant wedding is flawless and our client's vision is fulfilled.

Neither my husband nor I had been in a wedding, so we had no idea what we were doing when we began planning. We hired SEG for full-service planning, and we were so impressed by the time and resources made available to us. Our planner, Hanh, was so organized and attentive throughout the process. She was able to provide us with so many ideas to make our vision come true, and she knew to ask the vendors questions we never would have even thought of. She even went above and beyond on the day of, in ways such as helping bustle my dress which my mom and I couldn't figure out. The wedding workbook, especially the checklist organized by time out from the wedding, was so helpful in giving us a visual representation of everything we needed to do. Overall, hiring SEG full-service was well worth the money, and we highly recommend them for anyone who doesn't have the time or experience to plan their wedding themselves!

Whether it's your wedding, anniversary, business retreat, or corporate meeting, we work with you to make your vision a reality for your events!

Chelsea planned a rehearsal dinner for us. She helped us find a private dining space in the middle of downtown Chicago, helped us pick out menu options, was the point of contact for our family to reach out to on the day of, and helped us assemble gift bags for our families and friends. She really made herself available, and was really quick to reply back to us with any suggestions. Really happy we hired Finishing Touch Events and definitely would recommend this small business!!

Bisoux Event Co.

5.0

Chicago, IL
  • Offers 3 services
  • Starts at $3,000

We were born from lessons learned by tackling the most important wedding to date; my own. A planner to my core, I never considered the need for assistance when planning and executing my wedding. And while I threw a truly great party, it came at the expense of me enjoying my own wedding. I took away from the experience the hard truth that just because I could, didn’t mean I should, and have turned that into something that I truly love; watching other couples bask in their moment, stress-free. We offer a variety of wedding and honeymoon services with the simple mission of creating beautiful, unique events that feel as good as they look.

Lisa was a godsend for my wedding. A lot of planners I had consulted with were a little antiquated and wanted to force their vision upon me. I had already secured a handful of major items for my wedding: venue, food, music, photographer. Lisa was so helpful as she provides a new fresh prospective to planning and executing - conscious of both style and budget. She's highly adept at being both extremely down to earth and approachable yet highly professional when dealing with difficult vendors. In the end, Lisa helped me finalize all of the nitty gritty details for the wedding weekend and executed everything flawlessly. I'd highly recommend her services and support for your planning needs!

Bristol was an incredible partner for us during the planning and execution of our wedding. She and her team worked hard to make sure the process was as painless as possible while keeping us on-track and realistic. We particularly appreciated her design plan, which wound up influencing a wide variety of thematic elements and giving our concept some much-needed clarity. She also helped us locate several of our amazing (and eco-conscious) vendors, some of whom we wouldn't have otherwise even known about. Maybe most meaningfully, we appreciated her willingness to jump in and help us catch up. As a queer couple, neither of us had been planning our wedding since childhood and there was a lot we didn't know. Her Chicago wedding expertise and experience were invaluable to us. A not insubstantial number of our guests said ours was one of the best weddings they'd ever attended, and we'd have to agree. Bristol gets the lion's share of the credit for that.
