I had the pleasure of working with Kim as our day-of wedding coordinator, and I couldn't be more thrilled with her services. From the moment we hired her, she exuded professionalism, organization, and a genuine passion for ensuring our day was perfect. Kim took charge from the get-go, coordinating with vendors, creating timelines, and ensuring every detail was in place. Her proactive approach alleviated so much stress for both myself and my husband, allowing us to fully enjoy our special day without worrying about the logistics. Her attention to detail was impeccable, and it was evident that she knew her responsibilities inside and out. From coordinating the ceremony to ensuring the reception ran smoothly, Kim was always one step ahead, anticipating any potential issues and swiftly resolving them. What truly set Kim apart was her unwavering dedication to making our wedding day unforgettable. She went above and beyond to accommodate our requests, and her calm demeanor and reassuring presence were a true blessing throughout the day. Thanks to Kim, our wedding day was everything we dreamed of and more. I can't recommend her highly enough to any couple in need of a dedicated, organized, and talented day-of wedding coordinator. She truly is a gem in the wedding industry.

Your Little Details offers a wide range of services including onsite full-service planning and coordinating, assistance-based packages with no onsite services, as well as invitations and paper goods!

Originally we had hired Allison for our stationery. As soon as I found out she was a wedding planner I couldn't wait to hire her to help plan our special day! She seriously was amazing from the start. She made me feel at ease and like a weight had been lifted off my shoulders just from our first conversation. Allison answered all of my emails fast and professional no matter how small my question was or if it was the 10th email that week. As it got closer to the wedding I was so glad she was there and so hands on because there were tons of little details I did not even think of. The day of the wedding she was beyond amazing. She handled all of our vendors and even our family. She had everything under control which left us to enjoy our special day. It was such a stress free day! She made the day so much more enjoyable for us! We could not have imagined our day without her. It was the best decision we made. She's absolutely the best at what she does!

I'm Hannah - Your Day-Of Wedding Chaos Coordinator! I love helping couples actually enjoy their wedding day instead of stressing about it! Allow me to handle all of those small details on your wedding day and the weeks leading up to it- so you don't have to! I act as the main point of contact on your day fielding questions, handling issues, and ensuring the day is running smoothly and on-time! Allow your bridal party and family to enjoy the day like you envisioned! I am a planner and list maker by nature - I couldn't live without my To-Do lists. I cannot wait to help you make your big day the most magical day that you deserve!

Hannah was amazing! She hit the ground running as soon as we hired her for our wedding and was always available for a call, email, or even text. She was great in making sure we had everything we needed wrapped up and being the communication hub for our vendors the closer we got to the date. My fiance and I wanted to pick our vendors and plan the majority of our wedding ourselves but having some help near the end when all the details need to come together was instrumental in making sure we enjoyed our planning process without feeling overwhelmed. Hannah handled all of our vendor load in and all our decor set up. Your wedding day is a roller coaster of emotions but I never once had to worry about what was happening at our venue because Hannah had it under control. I didn't need to field one question!

I take great pride- and an immense amount of pleasure- in working with brides. Imagine being able to redo your own wedding time and time and time again- I treat each client’s event the way I would take care of my own. I own the initiative down to the smallest detail. If it’s not good enough for me it certainly isn’t good enough for you! Every couple deserves to see their vision brought to life in the best way possible, and have a sense of accomplishment at the end of the night. I love being able to bring you over the finish line strong and leave you with lasting memories! Little bit about my personal life

I felt my head spinning the weeks leading up to the wedding. Luckily Jessica remained so calm and collected the entire time. She was reassuring, and followed up multiple times just to check in. She had a natural touch for decor that made my wedding visions come true. She was vocal when necessary (I can sometimes be looked over when trying to give instructions - but Jessica did the work for me). I was on the fence about hiring a day of coordinator because of our tight budget but I was advised more often than not that a DOC is NECESSARY. I'm so glad we went ahead with one because I felt like I relaxed the whole day thanks to Jessica. She was a boss, incredibly professional, and yet still so friendly.

My husband and I will never stop recommending BW Studio Events!!!! Blair is an absolute pro! She has a fool-proof strategy for wedding planning, a wealth of wedding knowledge and connections with the highest quality vendors, and a stunning vision and ability to understand the vision of others! The peace of mind Blair's expertise and communication brought to our planning process was PRICELESS. We knew no detail would be missed, and we were confident that Blair could handle any challenge that might come our way, whether it was on the day of or during planning. Our wedding day was truly perfect, and the way the vision in my head came to life in our venue surpassed my expectations! Meanwhile, I had the most chill, beautiful morning getting ready for the wedding, and I have her assistant Elly to thank for it! She was absolutely spectacular. She was present every moment we needed her and blended into the background while sneakily helping, like steaming our dresses and setting up the gifts for my ladies without us even knowing. She was like our secret fairy godmother! And when I was getting ready to walk down the aisle and was feeling anxious, she was the most calm presence. She really helped me keep my composure. So so grateful for all she did for us! She made me feel so special :] Long story short, if you're wondering if hiring a wedding planner is worth it, I'm here to tell you THEY ARE WORTH EVERY SINGLE PENNY!!!

Teyanna was absolutely everything and more! I hired her for day of coordination, decor and florals. She exceeded my expectations. We had a South Asian Muslim wedding. She took the time to listen and understand my culture, wishes and vision. She was extremely realistic and reminded me of my budget and what I could do vs not do. I’m a project manager and extremely Type A. It’s hard to impress me, but she was not only able to impress me but was a step ahead. She and I worked on a timeline and had multiple versions to make sure everything was accounted for. She started advising me several months ahead of my wedding. I’m so grateful for her, it’s so important to have someone day of. If you’re gonna spend tens of thousands of dollars on a wedding HIRE TEYANNA so you can enjoy the day you spent so much time and money on. Teyanna and her team worked so freaking hard, more than anyone I know. I don’t think my wedding would’ve been the way it was without.

Highly recommend her and the team for their organization skills and ease of communication!

Finishing Touch Events

Hello Couples! Thank you for visiting my listing on Zola! My name is Chelsea, and I am the owner and operator of Finishing Touch Events here in Chicago. With 7 years of coordination and planning experience in social events, primarily weddings, I've seen a little bit of everything. I understand that, along with the excitement of getting engaged and celebrating finding your person, planning a wedding can feel overwhelming. This special event involves all your family and close friends, and it comes with its own unique challenges.

I reached out to so many planners/coordinators for my wedding and so many were either slow to respond or did not respond at all. Chelsea was prompt and excited to help, despite my wedding being quite the undertaking. I did my own (faux) flowers, which meant on top of regular day-of duties, she was putting up full floral arrangements, lighting hundreds of candles, and putting together tons of other small details and finishing touches. I can't emphasize this enough - our day would not have come together in the way that it did without her. She was on top of everything and truly made my vision come to life. She was helpful in dealing with other vendors as well, and did everything with a smile on her face. When I came to her days before my wedding with a crazy new surprise, she was down to help. My husband agrees that Chelsea was worth her weight in gold - I would hire her again in a heartbeat. Thank you so much Chelsea for everything you did to make our wedding day go so smoothly.

America is such an amazing person to work with. Wanted to have a wedding of about 150 people in the Chicago Metropolitan area and a budget of 22,000 USD (just wanna say that keeping to the budget was my main goal). This can be typically difficult given the cost of venues and things in the Chicago area. America helped find a glamorous ball-style venue (my preference) that also had an outside lake as a great view for the ceremony. The venue also catered to most of the other needs at a reasonable price. Furthermore, we met regularly with America to go over what our expectations of each vendor would be, and with a great understanding of what we wanted, she was resourceful in getting the appropriate vendors and negotiating a good price with them. She made sure that within the short period of planning (we contacted her about 4 months before the wedding), every step of the plan towards the wedding day was carried out in a timely manner with nothing left unattended to... I mean nothing. On the day of the wedding, she drew up a great timeline and went above and beyond to ensure all went according to plan timely and we were not stressed out. It was such a good and memorable event that we received numerous compliments on it. With her being very affordable for the service she gives and she being intentionally involved in everything, we definitely kept to budget and had better than the wedding we had hoped for. She was on top of her game from start to finish . She isn't only an event planner to us but is also a friend. I thank God for you america and for all you did. These few words cannot fully explain how excellent you are in what you do.

As an Entertainment Director/Event Manager myself, I’m blown away by Franklin. It was important for me to hire someone I could trust to handle the organization for my wedding day. After our first meeting with Franklin, I knew he understood what we wanted. I was thrilled to know he was available for our wedding, and I feel like we couldn’t have made a better choice. Before the wedding day, I was so relieved when Franklin came over to pick up all the decor. He even stopped by on the morning of the wedding to check on us and pick up any last-minute items. This alone really touched me because many people don’t go that extra mile, but Franklin does! I was seriously stressing about how to get those items delivered, and Franklin came right along and eased all that stress! He took our ideas and exceeded our expectations. We are Funko Pop collectors, so we wanted a fun way to incorporate them into our wedding decor, and he did it with ease. He surprised us several times throughout the event, and those memories are some of my favorite moments. When he revealed the reception dining room, which he had decorated for us, I was filled with chills. I couldn’t believe he took my simple idea and made it look so GRAND; it was next level. Then we walked over to the cookie and cake table, where I was seriously at a loss for words. I was blown away by the details he displayed in his decorating. It seemed like a scene from a movie. Before walking down the aisle, we learned that one of our food caterers was extremely late delivering the food and potentially wasn’t going to deliver it at all. Franklin was calm but still urgent in his demeanor, and I totally appreciated his proactive professionalism. Moments like these can really test any event coordinator's patience and could cause a domino effect. I don’t know exactly what happened or what he did, but all the food was there and ready to be served when it was time to eat. Our guests LOVED our wedding. They all mentioned how different and elevated our wedding was, and I’m 100% sure that had a lot to do with Franklin’s hard work. We wanted something unique, and he delivered. Overall, I’m truly grateful to have met Franklin and want to also shine some light on his assistant, Will. Both of their A, fun, efficacious attitudes just make everything better. I was able to kick back and watch my wedding day unfold beautifully. For those who work in events/entertainment, you know how hard it is to go to any event and not feel like you’re working, especially your own event (lol). Franklin is a star, and I’m sure he’s going to go far in the event business. He understands the importance of an event and how each event is personally unique. Most importantly, he takes the time to know and understand his clients.

By providing the best in high-end Event Management and Design, Events With Ambiance brings style and elegance to Chicago weddings by providing engaged couples expert guidance throughout the planning process.

Look no further! Events With Ambiance is hands down the BEST wedding planner. I am so happy I found her and decided to work with her for my wedding, which took place in October 2024. She truly transformed my wedding experience into a dream come true. I'll admit I was not like most brides in that I did not want to make a huge fuss over planning all of the nitty-gritty details of my wedding. From our very first meeting, Amber understood how I felt about planning my wedding and was more than willing and happy to offer her expertise on how best to make my wedding day a reality. I started working with Amber about 5-6 months before my October wedding (I know, not like most brides). However, my shorter timeline did not pose a challenge for Amber. Her professionalism and exceptional organizational skills were evident from the start. I loved how she provided me with a personalized timeline during the remaining months of my planning process. She also connected me with a few of her trusted vendors she has worked with during previous weddings. However, she also did a fantastic job working with the vendors that I found on my own. She made the entire planning process seamless and enjoyable, allowing me to focus on the excitement of my upcoming wedding rather than the stress of logistics. She listened attentively to my ideas and preferences, providing thoughtful suggestions that enhanced our plans without overshadowing our wishes. On the day of the wedding, I felt completely at ease, knowing that Amber was in charge. I didn't have to worry about anything! She handled every detail gracefully and efficiently, allowing my husband and I to fully enjoy our special day without worrying about anything going wrong. Did I mention that she managed to accomplish all of this while battling the traffic and street closures as a result of the Chicago marathon? She wasn't fazed at all! The true litmus test is this -- if I had to do my wedding day all over again, would I choose Events With Ambiance as my wedding planner? The answer is a resounding "YES!" Thank you, Amber, for making our wedding day truly magical! We could not have done it without you!

At least, it seemed like that to me I had nothing to worry or stress about the day of, and I have to give her credit for that!

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.

I had the pleasure of working with Brooklyn Rain Brides LLC for a styled shoot. Her communication style was clear, responsive, and professional. Brooklyn came super organized and made sure every part of the shoot went as accordingly. She even brought food for us and all of the photographers which was super kind!

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.

I’m a lover of coffee and sunshine. ☀️ my husband and I have been married for 7 years, we have 2 kiddos, Charley and Parker and 2 pups - Bear and Boone. I’m a huge animal lover- specially dogs 🐕 Fun fact- I rescued 5 Thailand meat market dogs by flying them to the US from Bangkok (on my honeymoon 😂 ) I can’t wait to meet you!

Hi! I'm Jill Smith, owner, creative, wife and mother. I have been in the Washington, D.C. metro area for 38 years as a financial professional (28 years), and after retiring early, began planning weddings and events. I am a certified wedding planner, florist and designer. Jill Smith Events and Designs has a team of professional individuals skilled in planning, florals, and designs. We produce events at a variety of venues in the DC/VA/MD area. We partner with couples in the area, and often areas beyond. Our goal is to ensure a seamless, memorable event that lasts a lifetime!

We were planning from the west coast for our Virginia wedding, and Jill was truly a lifesaver. From day one, she was incredibly communicative and kept us on track every step of the way, which gave us such peace of mind. Jill went above and beyond when it came to our décor. Not only did she help us design stunning tablescapes, but she also provided the perfect finishing touches—everything from table numbers to candle holders, welcome table, seating chart and individual name card tents to make our vision come to life! On the day of the wedding, Jill handled any issues before we even knew they existed! Her professionalism and calm demeanor were unmatched, and she always seemed to know exactly what I needed before I could even think to ask. If you’re getting married in the Leesburg/Purcellville area, you absolutely need Jill as your coordinator. She is amazing at what she does, and we couldn’t have imagined our wedding day without her!

Planning a small destination wedding in Key West from Tennessee felt overwhelming, especially with a short timeline and tight budget. But from the moment I found Lynn, everything changed. Within two days, she had secured all our vendors and stayed in constant communication to keep things running smoothly. Then, just when things got stressful—a hurricane hit Florida the day before we were supposed to fly out! Our flight was canceled, and I was panicked. Lynn called me and remained so optimistic! She helped me stay calm and reassured me we'd make it, and thankfully we were able to fly out the day before the ceremony. On our wedding day, Lynn communicated mostly with family members who were there to minimize any stress on me, which I greatly appreciated. The setup and decor were better than I could have ever imagined and everything flowed perfectly. Lynn took my vision and brought it to life, completely exceeding my expectations. If you need a wedding planner, Lynn is it. She’s professional, caring, and works magic to make your day unforgettable. You can tell she loves what she does, and it truly shows in every detail!

Was referred to ESA from someone in my opinion whom was less than professional in her communication. So there was a little trepidation at first. However, from our first interaction with Christena at ESA to the end of the event Christena conducted herself in a professional and exceptional manner. From her initial communication, to vendor recommendations to all of the questionnaires to ensure the events moved smoothly were all investments that showed Christena cared. We used ESA for day of wedding coordination as well as a surprise birthday party the day before the wedding g. Yep, busy, busy, busy. Christena was there for a walk through at the venue which was 2 hours from her home base. She stayed in contact throughout the months leading up the the events and take the lead with vendor a onto or so before. She helped to keep us on track and was available via email with short turn around times. Although their was a LOT of planning prior to the wedding, Christena was more than helpful keeping us on track and ensuring the wedding day could be enjoyed without worrying about last minute pop up issues, and there were a few. Her team was able to resolve a bartender issue causing minimal interruption for guests. In the end Christena felt more like a guest as much as a vendor for each event. We are grateful for the service Christena provided and would highly recommend her and her company, ESA to anyone wanting a coordinator to help ease the stresses of such and important and joyous day!!

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.

Audrei from Luxury Affairs was so helpful for our Day of Coordination on our wedding. She was flexible, communicative, and seemed to be everywhere we needed her to be! Audrei is very efficient and was able to be the eyes and ears that I couldn't be day of. She kept the whole day running smoothly and we are so appreciative!
