Hello! I’m Kelly, the founder of Kelly’s Elegant Events, a wedding and event planning service dedicated to creating beautifully curated celebrations worldwide. Originally from the UK, I’ve lived in six countries, each inspiring my love for cultural traditions and the joy of bringing people together. My journey into event planning began with Girl Gone International, a global women’s community, where I organized events connecting women worldwide. These experiences fuelled my passion for crafting unforgettable memories and bringing visions to life for couples and celebrations of all kinds.

Kelly's Elegant Events was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding. From the very first interaction, their communication style was highly professional, prompt, and responsive to all of our questions and needs. The quality of their work and the overall value they provided was exceptional - they were courteous, timely, and ensured that every aspect of our special day ran smoothly. I didn't even have to worry about a single thing, as Kelly was there to expertly direct the vendors, bridal party, and cleanup crew, allowing me to truly relax and just enjoy my wedding. I highly recommend Kelly's Elegant Events to any couple looking for a stress-free, first-class wedding planning experience.

Hi! I'm Brooklyn - the owner! I'm 22 years old & happily married to my best friend, Michael. Traveling is a huge part of our lives, WDW is our happy place, & our next adventure is never far away. When I'm not at a wedding, you can find me in the flower shop or doing some *light* retail therapy. I recently graduated from KSU with a B.S. in Hospitality & Event Management. I have had the opportunity to work with some amazing couples & vendors in several states. I even spent time in FL working closely with one of the world's leading entertainment companies bringing hundreds of fairytale weddings & events to life. Now, I'm making magic of my own!

I had the pleasure of working with Brooklyn Rain Brides LLC on several occasions, and Brooklyn consistently impressed me with her top-tier communication, quick responsiveness, and professional yet friendly approach. The quality of her work is amazing - she is well-organized, detail-focused, and excellent at maintaining communication with all vendors. For the styled shoots that I worked with at, Brooklyn expertly handled the setup, controlled all the details, and ensured seamless coordination with everyone involved. I can't wait to collaborate with them again on a real wedding day and see their magic in action once more.

Awarded Best of Zola
Working with Teyanna has been a wonderful experience. As a bride who had never been to a wedding I was very lost in the planning process. I was so glad to find Teyanna and she has been my saving grace since then. She was on top of everything, super thorough, and always in communication incase I needed anything or had questions. When I did speak directly with vendors each and everyone said she was an absolute doll and a pleasure to work with. She helped me make informed and wise decisions for my wedding and definitely made me feel at ease throughout my wedding planning process. She is so helpful and knowledgeable and I definitely recommend her work to any bride who needs a planner, coordinator, or decor for their wedding. She is a very honest, kind, and patient person and working with her has been such a delight. I've learned so much about the wedding planning process and it's been so fun. Planning a wedding in 6 months seems stressful but, honestly it's been a breeze. Teyanna had taken so much weight off my shoulders and made me feel comfortable entrusting my big day in her hands. Working with Essence of Flair was by far the best decision I made for planning my wedding and I would whole heartedly recommend their work to any bride.

Before You Say I Do

  • Offers 5 services
  • Starts at $1,500
  • Serves Champaign, IL

Hello, my lovely couples! My name is Annie and I have started my business at the beginning of 2023 and so far I've had clients from all over the East Coast. I am focused on Partial, Full time Wedding planning, Elopements and A-la carte. My goal is to help my clients and make sure that their wedding goes by the plan that they created.

Annie from Before You Say I Do was an exceptional day-of-coordinator for our special day. Her communication style was frequent, clear, thoughtful, timely, and she was quick to respond to all of our questions and needs. The quality of her work and the value she provided was excellent-- she is hard-working and was incredibly considerate throughout the entire process. She went above and beyond, offering to bring additional decorations and even showing up the day before to assist with our traditional Vietnamese Tea Ceremony, which was not even on the same day as our official wedding. We had only hired her for her day-of coordination package, but even so, she was a consistent voice and helping hand for us for months leading up to the wedding. I can only imaging if we would have booked her whole wedding planning service, our wedding probably would have somehow been even more perfect than it already was. We are so grateful for her dedication and attention to detail in making our wedding day perfect. I highly recommend booking Annie!

Cylee Catherine Events

  • Offers 3 services
  • Starts at $1,500
  • Serves Champaign, IL

At Cylee Catherine Events, we believe in planning and coordinating events so that the hosts are able to enjoy the moments that will one day be their favorite memories to look back on. Throughout the planning process, I do my best to listen to your ideas and help bring forward the vision for your special day that you are trying to achieve with a flawless execution.

I don’t even know where to begin to thank Cylee for the amazing job she did at our wedding. I originally had another planner that made me dread planning my wedding. 3 weeks prior to the wedding I decided to drop the old planner and go with Cylee, who was introduced to me by my photographer Arleigh. From the first meeting Cylee left such a great impression on both my husband and I. She was so organized, professional , and had a clear list of what needed to get done. The 3 weeks prior to the wedding went by so fast, but Cylee made those last 3 weeks feel like such a breeze. She communicated between the vendors and us, and always kept us informed on every little step. She made all the calls and emails, which really helped us so much. The day of the rehearsal, she came with copies of the timeline for all of us. She went through every detail and walked us through the game plan of the day. Later that night she checked in with me to see how we were doing. Even just the small sincere gesture of a simple text with words of encouragement, was more than enough to ease our minds for the big day. I have no words to describe just how magical and perfect the day of the wedding was. Cylee came bright and early to help with decor, vendors, a stressed out bride and stressed out parents. She was always coming in to check up on me, while still coordinating everything else. She was literally with us every step of the way. Our venue required a room flip, and she handled it with such speed and perfection. When we were introduced and walked in to the dinner area for the first time, I could not believe how beautiful she had arranged everything. I had no plan for the sweetheart table, but she arranged it so beautifully I felt like I was in a fairytale. My husband is not much of the dreamer type, but even he said that, he finally understood what it felt like to describe something as magical and dreamy. Cylee did such an amazing job that I had many guest come up to me to say how wonderful she was. Everyone loved her! And We loved her! Cylee is so kind, sincere, organized, passionate, caring and overall just an amazing person to have in your life. Her planning services were worth every penny. Because of her, our wedding came out better than we had ever imagined, and we created memories of a lifetime. She exceeded every expectation and honestly you will not regret hiring Cylee.

I found Alexa on the Knot and booked her for Monarch’s full wedding planning package as my husband & I were planning a wedding outside of Chicago in an unconventional venue, 9 months away, and lived in another state. It was a big challenge but from the initial consultation, we loved Alexa’s energy, organization, commitment and just knew we could trust her with our once in a lifetime event. The planning process was extremely organized, thorough and well-paced. She matched my attention to detail, tackled unplanned challenges with ferocity (which included a limited selection of vendors given the location of our venue) and was as dedicated to bringing my very specific vision to life as I was. She brought great vendor recommendations and connections and did countless hours of research on new vendors. Details were well-documented and thoroughly discussed to ensure all parties were aligned. Even though our venue was farther outside Chicago (Indiana), she ran several venue walkthroughs in-person, attended vendor visits with me, and always accommodated my husband and I’s busy schedule. As Alexa started to step away for her maternity leave (which started right before our wedding date), she did an amazing job ensuring her team was fully prepared to handle last minute preparations and day-of responsibilities. The day-of team of 3 were awesome with completely handling all details A-Z so I didn’t have to worry about anything, even despite some last minute changes due to weather! Due to the complexity of our venue, its location, short timeline, and being from out-of-state, we are SO GLAD we booked Monarch for their full planning package and had the privilege of working with Alexa! It was sincerely our pleasure to have her bring our special day to life, she was a joy to work with and get to know. If I were getting married again, I’d book her services again no question! Thank you Alexa!!

Shaymah was extremely organized with a very chaotic wedding - chaos due to family drama, etc. While the chaos was stressful, Shaymah was very detailed and thorough with all of the wedding planning, including designing florals and signs completely on her own (great designer too!), and including last minute issues with guest count, etc. She's very sweet, kind and helpful and great to work with! I would recommend her for any type of wedding event. She was also very professional through all of the chaos and made sure that the event went well!

Weddings can be overwhelming, but at April Hertz Coordination Services, we truly understand the stress that comes with planning and executing your special day. Our goal is to lighten your load, allowing you to fully focus on marrying the love of your life. Trust us to handle all the coordination and planning services, ensuring a seamless and unforgettable wedding experience for you.

April was FANTASTIC!! I was unsure whether or not I wanted a coordinator- I had a hard time “giving up” control of my big day. When I first spoke with April- I knew that she was THE ONE! Kind, patient, understanding, and also a little bit of a perfectionist. ;) I hired April as “Day of Coordinator” only. April took everything I gave her on my wedding day and ran with it. She took my planning binder and I said “Good Luck!” She made it all happen! She quickly and effortlessly made my dream wedding perfect. She helped with decor, setting up, getting my dress on, helping me use the bathroom, putting my shoes on… anything you could think of!! And the professionalism and kindness was next level! A few days/weeks later, my bridesmaids told me about little fires that April put out that I had no idea about- problems with the DJ, the groomsmen trying to get drunk before walking down the aisle (April stopped them), and our Happily Ever After sign that kept falling. She handled all of this without me even knowing! The best decision I made (besides who to marry) on the day of my wedding was hiring April!! You won’t regret it!!

I have been coordinating events for 5+ years and fell in love with the methodical creation that comes from planning each different event. Each event is different and has it's own challenges which makes the entire process that much more exciting.

Luxury Affairs was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding. From our very first interaction, the team's communication was thorough, thoughtful, and all-encompassing, ensuring we felt supported and cared for every step of the way. Their attention to detail and ability to expertly coordinate all aspects of our special day was truly magical - we felt completely stress-free and able to simply enjoy the experience. For example, lead planner Audrei made sure we were on time for every event, and her team went above and beyond to accommodate my elderly, handicapped mother, making sure she could fully participate in all the festivities despite the challenges of our venue. We are forever grateful to Luxury Affairs for making our wedding day so seamless and special.

Brianna and Karin were absolute rockstars! They took on a super difficult task due to the nature of the venue -- an DIY outdoor center with no cell phone reception, and key sites separated by a 0.3 mile gravel path, plus literally 7 different locations for all the different events (rehearsal, his and hers getting ready, ceremony, reception, cocktail hour, and food storage cabin). Oh, also the venue team has never hosted a wedding before!!! B&K handled it perfectly. I truly don't know what we would have done without them.
