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 recently had the pleasure of having Brooklyn as the officiant of my wedding and I am so glad I went with her! She made the process as simple as possible, was super easy to work with, was always open to communication and returned correspondence in a more than timely manner. Simply put, everything I needed!

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.

Hiring BreAnn to be our day of coordinator was hands down one of the best decisions I could have made. We got married this past June and our day went perfectly, so smooth, no hiccups and this is all because of Bre. Anytime I recommend Bre to a future bride, one thing I always say is that when you consider how much money is going into a wedding - you should also make an investment in making sure your day runs smoothly. Bre met with me a year prior to my wedding, helped create a spreadsheet to keep track of all vendors, gave amazing recommendations on vendors, did a walk through of the venue with me, created timelines, helped with o ur rehearsal & so much more. All of that was done BEFORE the wedding day was even here. Bre goes above and beyond to coordinate all your vendors and puts so much effort in making sure your vision comes to life. The day of my wedding I, nor anyone in the bridal party was bothered with vendor questions which really allowed everyone to just be able to relax. When arriving to our venue Bre had helped set up the decor and everything was stunning. Because I live close by her she even came and picked up my welcome sign prior to the wedding day along with the marriage certificate so I truly had nothing to worry about the day of the wedding. Bre helped everyone stay on track with timing, helped everyone throughout the ceremony know where to stand, when to start walking, etc - which is so helpful when you’re trying to get a bunch of people in a bridal party to listen. Once the wedding was over Bre packed up all of our decor making sure everything was extremely organized and she even took home my flower bouquet since I was having it preserved and helped coordinate that to ensure the bouquet would be safe at the end of the night. If you are on the fence about hiring a coordinator - just do it. You truly will not regret hiring Bre, she was the best vendor/decisions I could have made for our wedding!

Your dream event? It’s finally within reach. It takes a lot to plan a fun, fantastic wedding that’s totally you. It’s hard freakin’ work. If you’re looking for a fairy godmother, don’t hire us. We don’t have magic wands - we have experience and a proven planning method. And those things can actually give you the wedding of your dreams. If you’re looking for a no BS, tell-it-how-it-is planning experience, we’re your gals.

Awarded Best of Zola
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!!

Awarded Best of Zola
I had the best experience with The Venlist. I was fortunate to work with two great planners, first Kyra, and then Brittany. Kyra really understood what I was going for and was excellent at helping me plan, so I was bummed when she left. However, Brittany is absolutely amazing. She’s the absolute best at what she does. She goes above and beyond for you and she will definitely deal with any vendor issues you may have. Brittany is the main reason why my wedding vision was properly executed and brought to life. The Notion platform was perfect in keeping track of all things wedding, and I loved the style of it. Brittany is such a great person and easy to connect with. I will definitely keep in touch with her even after my wedding.

When not working weddings and planning events, Nikki enjoys traveling with her family, walking with her dogs while listening to podcasts, and crafting.

Awarded Best of Zola
I don’t even know where to begin in expressing my gratitude for Nikki from The Serendipity Collective. From the very first moment we met, her bubbly attitude and confidence let me know I was in the best hands. After starting to work with Nikki, so much of the stress of wedding planning became fun for me (the bride) as well as my family. Her kindness and warmth were so appreciated. Every time we spoke or met, she made me feel like my wedding was her top priority, even though I know she had other clients. She listened to all of my ideas, even when I didn't know exactly what I wanted, and turned them into something even more beautiful than I could have imagined. No detail was overlooked, and her organizational skills were impeccable. She kept us on track and organized while being ready with solutions, suggestions, and support when we all started to get overwhelmed. What truly sets Nikki apart is her genuine care and attention. She took the time to work with me and my "team" (aka my mother, sister, and mother in law- all of us whom live in different states too!) every step of the way, including all of us in the decisions. It was very important to me to include all these ladies and she was so patient with our erratic (and sometimes anxious) energy and different time zones. On the day of the wedding, I had an unexpected (non-wedding) issue come up, and while I and my family were dealing with that, she was able to take the reins and ensure that everything was running smoothly behind the scenes. It allowed everything to still move forward as planned without the extra stress if we had to handle everything ourselves. Everything was exactly as I pictured it, and I know that’s because she poured her heart into making it perfect. Her flexibility and calmness under pressure were such a gift on the day of the wedding, and she was always available and ready if we needed anything. If you're looking for someone who will not only plan your wedding but make the entire experience enjoyable, stress-free, and unforgettable, Nikki is the one. We will forever be grateful for her incredible work.

Emma was incredibly helpful on and before our wedding day. I was deep into wedding planning and handled most of it myself when I realized I was simply going to need help with set ups during ceremony/cocktail hour/reception (A time where none of us could be in two places at once!) Emma created a custom package that fit our specific needs and it was perfect! Aside from that she was so kind, professional, and attentive even in a few meetings we had with the venue before the day. If I could do wedding planning over knowing what I know now, I would've found her sooner to include her expertise even more in our planning / day! Thank you Emma!

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.

Her itinerary for our two-week Hawaiian honeymoon was spot on, and her recommendations for activities and accommodations were truly unforgettable. We wholeheartedly recommend Wei Yuh to any couple seeking a flawless wedding experience. Her dedication, professionalism, and tailored approach are unparalleled. We will forever cherish the memories of our wedding day, thanks to your incredible work!!

At Enchanted Weddings by B&K, our passion for event coordination is the heart and soul of our business. It is this love for creating memorable and flawlessly executed events that drives us to provide the highest level of service to our clients. We understand that your wedding day is one of the most important days of your life, and we are committed to making it perfect in every way.

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. Thank you for helping make it such a truly unique and special day.

Exquisitely Designed Events by Veronica is a planning company servicing the Greater Chicagoland Area offering personalized wedding design and planning services. ​ At Exquisitely Designed, we collaborate with our couples to internalize their dreams, conceptualize a vision, and deliver a wedding as unique as their love story. ​ Our goal is to create an event to surpass your expectations!

Veronica is truly the best wedding coordinator out there. She and her team went above and beyond and my wedding day was absolutely perfect!! Veronica was involved with the wedding planning months beforehand (unlike most wedding coordinators I spoke to!) and she was so detailed and organized that she truly put my type-A personality at ease!!! I knew I was in the best of hands after our first conversation and on the wedding day I was completely relaxed because I knew I could trust her to handle any hiccups. She also did my floral arrangements and was present at all the meetings with the venue and caterer to make sure that everyone was aligned on my vision. When she showed me the reception hall before my guests arrived it took my breath away-- it was even better than I envisioned!!! Her eye for detail is incredible and my reception decorations were breathtaking. I also have to acknowledge Veronica's assistant Sharae because she too was the best ever-- I definitely walked away from my wedding weekend with a new best friend. Sharae kept me calm and laughing on my wedding day and made the entire pre-ceremony experience SO MUCH FUN!!! Honestly, my wedding day would have felt much different if Sharae wasn't there. I actually got emotional saying goodbye because she was such an important part of my day too. I never thought I would grow so close to a wedding vendor, but I now consider Veronica, Sharae, and the entire Exquisitely Designed Events team like family. They truly made my wedding the best day ever!!!

Cook Event Planning uses our connections and years of experience to give couples a unique perspective and creative ideas to make your wedding truly an expression of you as a couple. Contact us today for a complimentary consultation to see if we are a good fit for you!

I've been lucky to have worked with Cook Event Planning on multiple weddings. As a Pastry Chef, creating the brides dream cake is always top priority. Iman is the icing on the cake. She is very easy to talk to/work with. Since she has a background in hospitality she understands the needs of the vendors as well as her brides. She makes sure that before the big day even arrives, that everything is taken care of and runs smoothly. She goes out of her way to make sure that as a vendor all communication between all parties is clear. The venue has everything they need from me ahead of time and they're ready when I arrive with the cake/desserts. She jumps in and helps with any setup if you need her to. She's always friendly and has the answers, and if she doesn't, you better believe she will find out within minutes! There's honestly not enough great things that I can say about Cook Event Planning!! Such a professional and organized business to work with. I look forward to partnering again in the future and using them for personal events as well. 10/10 I highly recommend!!
