Keagan was the BEST - we are so thankful we had her help! We used the a la carte options for set-up/take-down day-of our wedding. But Keagan went above and beyond and helped make everything run so smoothly! Set-up would have been a nightmare without her. She totally saw my vision, and took care of everything so I could enjoy the day without thinking about decorations/logistics. THANK YOU Keagan, this was the best money we spend on the wedding, and if I could do it again I would have hired Keagan as our full-on day-of coordinator. HIGHLY recommend.

The Rebel Wedding Planner 

5.0

  • Offers 3 services

  • Serves Grafton, IL

I have a dirty little secret… I never wanted to be a wedding planner. It was never something that was on my radar. The series of events that led me to this industry is, to be honest, not very exciting, inspiring, or important, really, so I’ll skip that part. (Feel free to ask me later.) What is important is that my heart is in help and service. Born and raised in St. Louis, I’ve gained a lot of knowledge about local wedding vendors, traditions, and styles. But after working 12+ years in the industry, I’m down for anything and love working with a couple that has a unique style and vision for their day.

Awarded Best of Zola
From the very beginning, Victoria took the time to get to know us as a couple, what mattered most to us, and what we love about each other. She was committed to understanding the nuances of our vision for our big day and bringing it all to life. From selection of vendors to coordination of every detail, big and small, we felt calm, relaxed, and confident throughout the process under Victoria's guidance -- the whole experience was truly a joy. Our wedding day was as beautiful, special, and quite frankly perfect as we could have possibly imagined, and we owe much of that to Victoria. Victoria's job isn’t easy but she sure does make it look effortless. We owe every gratitude to Victoria for helping us to start our marriage together surrounded by nothing but joy.

Since then the business has grown almost entirely from word-of-mouth. Currently, Charley Rice Weddings offers three comprehensive officiating packages and two comprehensive coordination packages in addition to event rentals, honeymoon planning, and other add-ons.

I cannot recommend Charley enough!! She went above and beyond and it truly showed! I told her my vision with the decorations I had and she made it all come to life at our venue. She is a great listener and communicator and is there to make sure you have the best wedding day. I wasn’t stressed the morning of my wedding because I didn’t have to worry about how decor was being set up, she had it all taken care of. Once I walked into the reception area, I was speechless! It was everything I envisioned and then some. She and her husband did a great job with the execution! I keep telling her it wouldn’t have turned out the way it did without her help. She also took care of my bridesmaids with an emergency kit that morning! Charley really does it all. Make sure you book with Charley ASAP!

Luna + Co Events 

5.0

  • Offers 4 services
  • Starts at $2,200
  • Serves Grafton, IL

Luna + Co is a St. Louis-based full-service event design and wedding coordination company dedicated to creating unforgettable moments for you! We combine creativity and organization with a collaborative approach to ensure your event is one of a kind. We specialize in weddings, but love to plan any and all of life's celebrations.

Hiring Luna Co was one of the best decisions we made in planning a 250-guest wedding in only six months! We knew we wanted to do a lot of the planning ourselves and were initially reluctant to use a professional planner/coordinator, but with Luna Co's partial planning option, we got the best of all worlds and an incredible value for the many services that Alexandra, Jazmin, and Sophia provided. The Luna Co team kept track of our vendor contracts, joined calls with vendors whenever we wanted them to, and helped keep us organized with regular check-ins throughout the planning process. They offered recommendations, advised us on logistical questions, and focused on what was most important to us. For example, we had 20 kids at our reception, and the Luna Co team helped us come up with a "kid zone" and coordinated with our caterer to make sure kids' meals were ready a little before the adults ate dinner. On our wedding weekend, Alexandra joined for our ceremony rehearsal, and I don't know what we would have done without her. We had an interfaith (Catholic Jewish) ceremony, so it was a little outside everyone's comfort zone and there was no real template to follow, but Alexandra took charge in the most kind yet firm way and made sure everyone knew what was happening and all of the items we needed were organized and stored safely. It honestly relieved so much stress that day knowing she would be on hand for the ceremony itself. And then on the day of the wedding, we were truly able to just be present and enjoy the moment with our loved ones, because the Luna Co team handled everything behind-the scenes. That included an impressive turnaround reception setup (since we couldn't access our reception venue until later in the day), troubleshooting various misplaced decor materials, and gracefully finding spots for two surprise (but wanted!) guests. Throughout the process, the team was prompt, responsive, and professional. They were easy and fun to work with. We know our large guest count and unique venue made our wedding logistically challenging, but the Luna Co team was always encouraging, positive, and found ways to make things possible. We would highly recommend Luna Co to anyone and everyone!

I'm Rachel! Here, as an artist, to help the couples who want a unique and special-to-them wedding. I'll be the best fit for couples that want to play around with the limits of tradition and think outside of the box. I came to STL to get my MFA and fell into Wedding DJing on accident. 6 years later I'm in love with love, planning, and weddings. I come from the vendor side of things, so I truly know what vendors have to offer and who can do it best. I'm also largely involved with the art scene in STL and that means I can connect you with vendors that are also on the more avant-garde side of the wedding biz.

Honestly, working with Rachel Lebo is a joy. She makes all decisions feel easy and stress-free. Her attention to detail, reliable execution and attentiveness is so professional. I always felt like I was in good hands. She also made it so fun with her sense of play. It added another level to the experience.

Nikki Peterson, Trinity Griffin Events

  • Serves Grafton, IL

Hey there! I'm Nikki. I have over nine years of event planning experience, including my own wedding in 2022. I am a coordinator with Trinity Griffin Events! My love languages are spreadsheets and fresh flowers. I've been known to cry at the first bite of really good food. The thing that excites me the most about this process is doing the heavy lifting so that you can be truly present for your once-in-a-lifetime moments.

Nikki was extremely professional, kind, thoughtful, smart, creative, helpful, and downright indispensable in the 2 months leading up to our wedding day. On the day itself, she handled so many details both big and small, ran unexpected errands, shared her water with me before I walked down the aisle, bustled me, kept another vendor in line, and just generally RULED. Thanks to her, I was able to stay grounded and focused during the planning phase, which significantly reduced my stress. Nikki has a natural talent for project management and is incredibly organized and caring. She was a critical member of our team and became a trusted friend. My husband and I told everyone that hiring her was the best investment we made for our wedding, and it’s true! We can’t recommend Nikki enough for your special day!

Hi there. My name is Wendy, the owner and lead planner of Revel & Wonder Weddings. I have been planning large-scale events and theatre productions for over twenty years and, for the past ten years, have been exclusively planning awesome weddings for some amazing brides.

Leaving this review will never do justice to the incredible service that Wendy and her team provide. During the planning process Wendy assisted us with vendor selection, tracking payments, planning our budget, creating a timeline, and was a great resource for all the weird un-googleable questions we had (or never even thought of). Wendy is an expert in the market and her familiarity and experience with hundreds of vendors is a service you can’t put a price on. I would pay for Wendy’s service 100x over just for how helpful it was to have her help us plan everything, but her team SHINED on our wedding day. Hiring Wendy to coordinate our wedding day was the greatest gift we could have given ourselves and our families. Everyone had the privilege of feeling like guests of honor while Wendy’s team seamlessly ran the show. For us and our parents, it truly got to be a stress-free day focused on family while Wendy’s team handled all the vendor coordination, execution of the timeline, and logistics from setting up the decor at our venue, being the point of contact for vendors, and the best part - having my parents’ car fully loaded at the end of the night so no one was rushing around picking up or taking an early morning trip back to the venue. Make your wedding day about YOU and let Wendy and her team handle the logistics - it will be the greatest thing you do for yourself and your family.

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.

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!

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!

Awarded Best of Zola
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!

We LOVED working with Brittany. We had monthly meetings with her for over a year, from the venue search phase to the handoff to our month-of coordinator, and she was so helpful. She helped us with the searches for everything—venue, DJ, photography, day-of coordination, flowers, catering—and provided us timelines and organization tools that were genuinely invaluable. We had very little idea going in exactly what was needed to plan a wedding, but Brittany’s collaboration made us feel very on top of things. She also worked with us to troubleshoot things when issues arose (like our flower provider not following some of our communication requests). And an added bonus is that she’s fun to hang out with lol—we really enjoyed our monthly meetings!! Would absolutely recommend the Venlist (and Brittany specifically)!

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
We hired Sofi as our wedding manager and we were extremely happy with that decision. We knew we didn't need a full-on planner but from the advice of others, wanted someone to pass off month-of vendor engagement, timeline creation, and day-of logistics to. Sofi was worth it in every way. She's incredibly responsive, knowledgeable about executing a wedding in KC, and had referrals for bakers, event decor, and other vendors we inquired about. She not only accepts same-sex couples as clients but projects a deep, personal commitment to the belief that our love is worth celebrating. Most importantly, she is an incredibly warm, calming presence during what can be a very stressful period. I could tell she genuinely cared about my well-being and wanted the best possible wedding for me and my partner. We are so thankful we found Sofi and would recommend her to others without hesitation.

Welcome to Claudio & Co. Events! Every great journey begins with a story. Ours is no different. Our journey started nearly a decade ago when I first fell in love with the art of orchestrating beautiful events. After years of pouring my passion into every detail, the dream of Claudio & Co. Events was born—a space where we bring dreams to life and create moments that resonate with your heart. I’m beyond excited to embark on this adventure with you, turning your visions into memories that will last a lifetime. Your event is a unique story waiting to unfold, and we’re excited to share it with the world.

Claudio & Co Events was a delight to work with for our wedding. Their communication style was affable, approachable, and facilitating - they were always available to answer questions and help us through the planning process. The quality of their work was insurmountable, as they were effective at keeping us on track and ensuring our venue duties on the ceremony day was fun and felt good. When unexpected things happened, they had backups and contingencies ready to go, and their ability to quickly wrangle the necessary roles and pivot to take charge of the circumstances was truly impressive. Claudio & Co Events were a wonder to work with at our venue, doing everything and more to prepare us and the other vendors for the big day. They were easy to communicate with and made sure to be on-site for communication and discovery as much as possible to ensure the vision was coming to life. I can say without a doubt they knocked it out of the park, and I'll be raving about their success that we share whenever I'm asked!

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.
