  • Serves Elkhart, IA

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!

When you think of your wedding, all you can hope for is nothing will go wrong, and if it does, it will be small. When you hire Brooklyn from Brooklyn Rain brides, you can rest assured that your day will be utter perfection. throughout the wedding planning process, Brooklyn was always there for me to reach out to and ask questions and give her professional suggestions. She is beyond wise for her years and knows everything a bride could ask in hand already. Even with me being in the industry Brooklyn would ask me questions leading up to the big day I didn't even know I had, she made sure I knew when and how to get my marriage license and took care of sending it back to the clerk for us. She handled getting the rings to the correct bridal party members and made sure to grab our vow books before the ceremony so we didn't have to remember them. My guests came to me after the ceremony and said it was the best ceremony they had ever seen and I couldnt agree more it had so much emotion, romance and pure magic sprinkled in and brooklyn was incredibly calm collected and well spoken capturing my husband and Is love story perfectly. I cannot recommend her services enough, not only can she officiate the most romantic ceremony ever She is also an incredible wedding coordinator and will make sure your wedding runs smoothly allowing you to have a stress free wedding day! I literally didn't have to handle a single thing on my wedding day because she was there to handle it all. She made all the difference plus she continued to come and check in in me to see how I was doing throughout the getting ready process and has the calmest nature helping me to feel ready before I walked down the aisle. not only did she handle coordination and officiating the wedding she sprinkled in some extra magic by taking some gorgeous photos throughout the day and sent them to me the morning after the wedding so I would have a little something until my professional photos arrived! I am so utterly grateful to Brooklyn for making the best day of my life utterly perfect. She may be based in Ohio, however, my wedding was in Michigan-she has traveled all over the United States to work weddings and is so worth it, so feel free to inquire about out of state travel. Anyone who is engaged, I can't say it enough, you need a Brooklyn to help guide you in your wedding planning!

Jazmyn did an AMAZING job. I met with her twice before the wedding to go over any details and my timeline. Jazmyn was always a text or email away to answer any questions I had. She also contacted all my vendors to ensure they were ready to go! She ran the rehearsal, so everyone knew exactly what their part was. She went above & beyond to ensure our day went smoothly.

I got married on a llama farm, so you could say I’m no stranger to quirky, out-of-the-box celebrations.

Now, I’m here to help couples create their perfect day, whether it’s under fairy lights, in a barn, or even at a llama farm! When I’m not busy planning, I’m at home with my amazing husband, two snuggly cats, and one very fluffy rabbit. Let’s create something magical together!

As a proud mom, I’ve had the joy of watching Michaela’s journey to becoming the incredible wedding planner she is today. Espinosa Events & Weddings truly reflects her passion, creativity, and attention to detail. Michaela doesn’t just coordinate weddings; she pours her heart into each celebration, making sure every couple feels unique and special. She has a natural talent for bringing visions to life while keeping everything on track, and she’s always ready to tackle any unexpected challenges with grace. Her own wedding, held on a llama farm, was where I first saw her gift for turning dreams into reality. Now, she offers her expertise to other couples, and I couldn’t be prouder. Whether it’s a grand affair or an intimate gathering, Michaela goes above and beyond to make it unforgettable. If you’re looking for a wedding planner who truly cares and will treat your day like her own, Espinosa Events & Weddings is the perfect choice!

Hi! I'm Amber! I am a Creative Project Manager and Wedding Pro. I'm from St. Louis, MO and I have been working with couples across the state of Iowa for 3 years. I believe that every bride deserves to enjoy the wedding planning journey without stress or worry. If you are considering hiring a Wedding Planner, I would love to meet you and work with you. You can trust the "A" Team!

Amber was spectacular, hands down. We hired her for her planning services as well as day of coordination. Our wedding was DIY in many regards. We met frequently throughout the year leading up to our wedding and she made sure nothing was forgotten. She introduced us to our bartender and the person who we rented sound equipment as well as her assistant Allison, all of whom were excellent. She worked well with our family members who were also involved in planning. Our rehearsal the night before the wedding itself went off without a single hitch. She truly seemed to care about us and our day. I’d recommend her a hundred times over to anyone!

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.

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.

Besides deciding to get married, hiring Sydney to be our day of coordinator was the best decision we made during wedding planning. She is beyond professional while still being easy to work with. Sydney has the ability to support the wedding planning process while still making the bride feel like she is being heard and understood.

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.

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.

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.

From beginning to end, our team approaches every moment with you in mind. We stand by the belief that no occasion is too big or too small to be handled the utmost level of care and professionalism. Memories and love last a lifetime.

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!
