I wasn't sure about having a coordinator but I needed one for my venue rules so after getting in contact with Connor, I knew I would be in good hands. From the beginning with Connor, I felt that I could always ask questions and she always communicated so clearly and flawlessly. She is so personable and genuinely kind. Natalie was my day of coordinator. Connor made sure Natalie had all of the information so she could step right in and kill it and she really did. I clicked with Natalie instantly and felt that she could handle anything. She handled changes with ease and we ran ahead of schedule all day between her and the other vendors. She checked in with me often and made sure we ate and drank and I loved that we had a drink waiting for us at the table. She was easy to talk to and she was amazing at communicating changes to the other vendors and treated my whole wedding party, guests and us as if we were her own family. I'm so happy that I went with this company and these ladies because they truly helped make my day all the more special.

Teyanna and Essence of Flair was truly an answer to prayer. I had a vision of what I wanted for my wedding day and she executed it perfectly. From our first meeting, she listened attentively and made sure she understood the assignment. Teyanna never tried to push her own agenda, what I wanted was always top priority. She was patient and also provided insight that helped me not only in the decor of my venue but in other areas of my wedding. Teyana was absolutely amazing. My wedding ceremony and reception were perfectly decorated and they exceeded my expectations. When I walked into the ceremony and reception area I said this is what I wanted. Teyanna held my hand through the process. If there were negative things happening, I did not know because Teyana was so in control and positive. I got so many compliments on the decor. All I can say is Essence of Flair understood my vision and followed through. Teyanna went above and beyond. I would recommend her and Essence of Flair to anyone that is planning a wedding or any special event.

We hired Jazmyn for month of coordination & day of coordination. I cannot explain the value, organization & peace of mind Jazmyn brought to the table for us. She was always SO responsive to emails and questions, was flexible to our schedule for calls and meetings, and made wedding day go seamlessly. She picked up on small details and planned for things we hadn't thought of. She communicated with our vendors in ways I didn't even realize, and was always two steps ahead. Multiple people on wedding day told me how helpful and awesome she was! She was patient and kind to all questions, calm and collected in times of (my) stress, and truly a friend to me in the planning process. I wanted to *just* be a bride on wedding day and not have to worry about vendor arrivals, setup/teardown, emergencies, etc. She handled everything with such professionalism, efficiency and grace. We even hired her for our rehearsal dinner which was absolutely worth it!! If you are worried about the details of your day and want to hand it off to someone you can 100% trust- Jazmyn is your girl!!!!!! Additionally- we used Jazmyn's content creation team for wedding day which was 10/10 worth it! I didn't think I would care about having behind the scenes videos/photos, but it was so special to wake up with 500 videos on my phone from wedding day. Our full photo gallery will take a couple months so it's nice to have those items to look back on in the meantime! It would be a great option for someone not wanting to invest in a true videography team.

  • Offers 7 services
  • Serves Ankeny, IA

I am a wife of 27 years and a mother of two beautiful daughters. I have been planning events and weddings for over 18 years. My passion for wedding and event planning started as a hobby before I decided to turn my “dream into a reality” and created Divine Events by Rayna, LLC! I love sharing milestone moments with the bride that has been dreaming about her fairy-tale wedding since she was a little girl or the company that values and rewards its employees, and the diligent student that is getting ready to walk across the much-anticipated stage. The one thing that I have learned in life, is that life is worth celebrating!

Deciding to work with Divine events by Rayna was the best decision I made for my wedding day. They offer multiple packages for full event coordination or same day. I felt prioritized, Questions never went unanswered, there was an open line of communication. I couldn’t have been more satisfied with the service I received and I plan on using them again for future events.

Team Yellow Rose truly brought our vision to life. From our initial consultation, I knew that Isabel and I were on the same page. Isabel was creative with different ways to maintain our budget. She went above and beyond by MAKING CANDLES in the exact shade I wanted when we could not find any. Though we did not meet in person often, she was always a quick text or call away which we really valued. I can't thank this team enough for making our dream wedding a reality.

Where to even begin? Sydney was the invisible glue that kept everything moving smoothly! After unforeseen family health concerns, we pushed our wedding up a full year. That left us with four months to pull off the wedding of our dreams. Thanks to Sydney, we were able to do just that! It was absolutely perfect. She took care of everything, eased our stress, and helped us decide on things we hadn’t even thought about. She also did design work for us. Our invites were absolutely gorgeous and we received so many compliments on them. Everything about our wedding - from planning to executing - was with the help of Sydney. When our wedding day came, we were able to sit back and relax knowing it was in her hands. Because of that, we were able to truly soak in every special moment. Sydney was my event buddee and she should be yours too!

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.

Breann did such a great job helping us plan our wedding! My wife and I weren't sure if we wanted to have a month of coordinator, but we are so glad that we hired Breann. She helped my wife and I plan table placement, decoration set up and tear down, and she was prepared for a lot of the little things that we hadn't even thought of. She even brought us a plate of appetizers during our post ceremony photos so we weren't starving before the reception. All of the organization felt like it came so naturally to her and we never had to worry about communication with our vendors or who stands where and when. We had such a beautiful wedding and it ran smoothly thanks to Breann.

My name is Steph Stanglin and I am an experienced wedding and special event planner! My goal is to create lifelong memories for my couple through beautiful, customized bridal events. Some fun facts about me are: I have 2 cats (Milo and Kiro) and 1 dog (Rory), My goal is to visit every state and continent before I turn 40, I'm a certified Swiftie, and Reality TV and chocolate are my guilty pleasures. Most likely to be seen carrying a binder and crying at first looks and vows.

I cannot say thank you enough to Steph! She was absolutely amazing. She was so committed to learning what aspects of the wedding were most important to us and making sure they happened on the day of. For example, we were getting caught up in the dancing and were going to skip the cake cutting. She didn’t push, she just asked, “Are you sure? You told me that this was something that was important to you, so I just want to check”. And I’m so thankful she did that, because it’s one of my favorite wedding moments! She went absolutely above and beyond for us. I am currently in medical school and was so stressed leading up to the wedding, but Steph made me feel like it was possible. She was so organized and wrote out every detail we discussed. She went out of her way to suggest some vendors we were struggling to book last minute, and the list goes on. I cannot recommend Steph enough. She is wonderful and sweet and kind and I cannot believe I found her! We could not have done it without her.

Jacki and her team are simply fabulous! There is so much more to hair and makeup services than simply making you look and feel your best, though they will do that too! Just as important is Jacki's understanding of wedding days and special events, their timelines, working with other vendors as a team, and how best to be able to touch up your makeup throughout the day (esp those lips!) and making sure you look fresh! She takes care to listen to her clients' needs rather than choosing what style to use. Jacki is just one of the kindest, most lighthearted and fun wedding professionals out there. She would be a great addition to your wedding team and be an amazing way to start your day!
