Our wedding planner was stuck out of town the whole weekend of our wedding and we didn’t have anyone to coordinate the wedding day things we needed done. Brooke stepped in and made herself available to coordinate the bridesmaids and groomsmen, organized the photographers, and other people who were working to help us for our special day. She made it look so easy and we were relaxed knowing it was taken care of.

Yes to I Do 

5.0

Lakemoor, IL
  • Offers 5 services

I am a certified wedding planner with a passion for learning. It all started over 10 years ago when I worked as a birthday party host at a park district, eventually expanding to fundraising events, showers, and weddings. My passion for weddings and events grew, and I began helping friends and family with their weddings. Now, I run my own business! There is nothing I love more than seeing an idea come to life! When I'm not planning weddings, you'll find me cuddling with my baby, enjoying the show Friends under a cozy blanket, or sharing a meal with a glass (or two) of wine with my husband. I'd love to chat and learn more about you!

As a wedding officiant, I have the opportunity to work with wedding planners and day-of coordinators, observing how they manage multiple last-minute details on the day of the wedding. I recently had the absolute pleasure of working alongside Becca from Yes to I Do! Not only was she incredibly organized, ensuring that every detail was executed flawlessly, but her personable and professional approach allowed me to focus solely on officiating. Her commitment to creating a beautiful experience for everyone involved truly stood out. I highly recommend Becca and Yes to I Do!

The title says it all... Emily is IN-CRED-I-BLE!!! We worked with Emily for well over a year on our wedding and she handled anything and everything that we needed help with. Whether it was finding vendors/venues and contacting them, handling paperwork, setting up calls, tours, etc., Emily put our mind at ease with it and took care of it. She's also incredibly personable and fun to talk to! By the time our wedding came, it was bittersweet because we had looked forward to our weekly calls with her! On the day of our wedding Emily was a superhero..... She helped set things up, make sure everything ran smoothly, helped tear down at the end of the night, and packed our car with decorations and things we had brought for us so we had nothing to worry about. We HIGHLY highly highly (I'll say again) HIGHLY recommend hiring Emily for ANY event, but definitely hire her if you're getting married!! We recommended her to all of our friends—she truly helped make our wedding an incredible experience!!

Awarded Best of Zola
Rojin was our “Wedding Day Coordinator” on April 2022. We absolutely can’t imagine our wedding day without her! She managed a major issue which had the potential to turn into a crisis. For some reason, our sound system was acting up, and our DJ couldn’t figure out the problem. She reacted to the incident very calmly and managed to find the standby technician quickly while we were just looking at each other trying to understand what had happened. And our guests responded to this very positively and it was like they were really enjoying themselves by singing and dancing while the issue was getting fixed. Without her, this two-minute incident could’ve ruin our night, but instead, now we have a beautiful memory of an issue that was outside of our control. Throughout that night, she was always there for us, by her attention to details. She was noticing small imperfections in Bride’s wedding dress while the Bride was dancing. She was fixing all those imperfections that she noticed on the fly. We didn’t even notice everything that she did, not till six months later when we were watching our wedding movie. We recommend her Wedding Day services.

Ok, so we weren’t actual clients, but hear me out! My niece was getting married in the same venue as her wedding. Unfortunately, my niece’s wedding coordinator didn’t show up. Candice had a few quick moments while waiting for her wedding party to go inside and noticed a couple details that were off. She took a brief second to make a suggestion and fix my niece’s dress before she walked down the aisle. You can tell craft is her passion! She didn’t take any attention from her bride, in fact, I’m sure without this review the bride would have never known. However, when something is your passion you enjoy what you do and share your heart when you need to. I just wanted to say a quick THANK YOU for those few fleeting moments of assistance.

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!

Let's face it, events are stressful. You plan for months and it all comes down to (what feels like) a few moments. There are vendors to meet, venues to research, staff or volunteers to coordinate, and favors to place on everyone's seat. Whether it's your wedding, anniversary, business retreat, or corporate meeting, we work with you to make your vision a reality for your events!

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.

We were born from lessons learned by tackling the most important wedding to date; my own. A planner to my core, I never considered the need for assistance when planning and executing my wedding. And while I threw a truly great party, it came at the expense of me enjoying my own wedding. I took away from the experience the hard truth that just because I could, didn’t mean I should, and have turned that into something that I truly love; watching other couples bask in their moment, stress-free. We offer a variety of wedding and honeymoon services with the simple mission of creating beautiful, unique events that feel as good as they look.

I can only imagine Lisa made her bride and groom’s lives so much easier, but she also did the same for myself as their photographer. Having open, clear cut communication regarding the scheduling and flow of the day made everything run so smoothly. There was no point of scrambling, rushing, or confusion. She even had a secure spot ready for me to leave gear at. These days can of course run long, so it was an extra treat that Lisa’s personality is as wonderful as it is, crazy sweet, helpful, and plenty funny.

I 100% recommend Sarah! My biggest regret of my wedding was not finding and hiring her sooner! During our consultation (and every call or text afterwards) I felt like I was talking to a friend. You can tell she truly loves what she does. She took SO much stress off me and my family. She created our day of plan, set up the decor, took it down, brought gifts to our car, was the main contact for vendors and so much more. Even my dad who is a money pincher said he was really glad we had her the day of. She also helped direct our rehearsal. Having a huge party that really helped! Seriously hire her ASAP! I’ve told everyone I’ve talked to about the wedding how amazing she is and I will tell my friends again once it’s their turn to get married. My family and I could enjoy ourselves the whole day because we could trust all the logistics were handled by Sarah. Best decision I made while planning. Thank you so much!!

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.

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!!

  • Serves Marengo, IL

Fierce Productions is a wedding planning and event production company that specializes in creating unique, unforgettable experiences in Chicago, Miami and beyond. We are a team made up of creative people who are skilled in the art of event planning and design. We are always looking for ways to think outside the box and do the unexpected. Fierce Productions was founded in 2015 by Laura Reitsma, proud Cuban-American Owner. Laura dreamt of creating an event production company that was fueled by her love of the theater. She wanted to make an impact and start a business that could give back to LGBTQIAP and theater communities.

Our wedding day was so much fun, and we are so grateful to Laura and Olivia for making it possible! When we got engaged, we knew some of the things we wanted to be a part of our wedding, and some of the things we didn’t — but we had no idea how to put it all together. We also knew that we wanted to have the kind of wedding that requires a lot of preparation, but that we didn’t want have wedding planning become second jobs for us. We tried out a couple wedding planners, and eventually we sat down with Laura. She methodically worked with us on how to turn all the things we like and care about and that unite as a couple into a wonderful and perfect wedding — and helped us organize it all into manageable chunks with a clear timeline. We started our wedding planning with Laura and Olivia, and eventually when Laura went on maternity leave we stayed with Olivia for the rest of our journey. Each had their own personal touches and ways of working, but both were incredibly professional, helpful, and organized. We often showed up to meetings knowing the general vibes that we wanted, not necessarily specifics or even how to express those “vibes”, and Laura and Olivia turned those into concrete vendors, choices, and timelines. In the end, we made it through planning without it ever feeling like a second job, and we were in a great position to enjoy the most perfect wedding we could imagine: a big party with all our favorite people, and all our favorite things, celebrating what we love most about each other. More on the big day: Olivia and team managed the day exceptionally well. Everything was in place without us ever having to worry about a single thing. The day was fun and light, from getting dressed and having photos taken all over the city, all the way through the end of the night. Throughout the day, we kept getting asked how we found our amazing venue, caterers, photographer, DJ, florist… the list goes on. Each and every one of them was recommended by Laura. She did a great job of recommending a few vendors that she knew and trusted that fit with our vision for our wedding day, and each one of them did a phenomenal job. Our food was delicious, our music was a hit, and the decorations were beautiful, and we weren’t worried at all on the day. Days and weeks after the wedding, we’re still a little shocked: we knew this would be a party with our favorite people and favorite things, but even we didn’t expect the end result to be so much fun.

We focus on managing all the logistical details – timelines, contract reviews, set up – to ensure nothing falls through the cracks on your big day.

Colleen Fahy was our coordinator, and she was absolutely incredible. Her guidance, her input, her sweet personality, her organizational skills, her foresight, her patience, her flexibility, her thoughtfulness, her ability to put us at ease… all made her so wonderful to work with. I didn’t worry about a single thing on wedding day, because I truly trusted that Colleen had helped us prepare so well, and that anything that would come up she would handle. And she sure did!! Colleen handled a lot of issues that arose on wedding day without us knowing!! She handled all communication with our vendors leading up to the wedding which was a HUGE burden off of our shoulders. Colleen spared us a lot of stress, and we’re so grateful that she allowed us to be in the moment and enjoy every minute of the day. So many people in my bridal party / other guests at the wedding mentioned how amazing Colleen was!! The bridal party / other VIP's LOVED the detailed timeline/itinerary that Colleen prepared and distributed prior to the wedding. People knew where to be and when, and didn't have to reach out to me with small questions as a result. People around us noticed and appreciated all that she and her team did, and we certainly did, too. AND, Colleen did it all with a calming presence and a smile on her face. We were so impressed. Colleen and Joan humored my many overly detailed questions, requests, anxieties, etc.! I honestly felt like nothing slipped through the cracks on our wedding weekend because Colleen and her team were there to catch it all. She remembered and honored everything we mentioned to her over the past few months (which was A LOT!)! We could go on and on... 100% recommend Five Grain Events and Colleen Fahy was an absolute GEM.

I have been a wedding planner for over 20 years. I am here to support your ideas and help you find ways to make your wedding day the experience you imagine. I also specialize in planning weddings in a very short amount of time. Its a wonderful challenge and you’ll receive no judgement from me about your timelines! There are no geographic limitations. I’m comfortable working remotely for the planning process and have traveled extensively domestically and abroad. I have supported people from all backgrounds in their journey towards a lifetime of love together. I network extensively with other vendors & have a passion for collaboration.

If there is one decision you must make for your wedding, you must hire Sholeh as your wedding planner or coordinator. Sholeh is everything that every good planner should be. She is organized, thoughtful, flexible, down-to-earth, detail oriented, solution oriented, and extremely kind. She was recommended to us by our wedding venue and to say we were not disappointed would be the understatement of the century. Initially, we hired Sholeh for half-day coordination services, and planned to have the in-house reception planner handle the remainder of the day. But when the venue coordinator fell through, we immediately called Sholeh in a panic and she said, "Don't worry, consider me your full-day coordinator now." She hardly even charged us a substantial upcharge for planning the entire day. On the day of the wedding, she truly felt like family. She arrived on-time, with her wagon full of supplies, ready and eager to help. She made sure everyone was fed, went out of her way to spend quality time with the mother of the bride and bride's sister, and executed every detail to perfection. She even sewed one of the groom's cousins back into her dress at the reception. Sholeh is a dream come true. We could truly write pages about how wonderful she truly is. Believe us when we say that you must must must hire Sholeh!

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!!!

Bristol and the whole Sustainable Soirees team were incredible!!! Truly the best decision we made was hiring Bristol. We were able to plan our wedding as much as we wanted, but still having a "safety net" of having a professional make sure there wasn't anything we were missing. Leading up to the wedding, we appreciated the monthly check-in calls and emails, Bristol made sure we were on track for getting everything done in time. She promptly responded to all emails, texts, and answered all of our questions! The week leading up to the wedding, everyone said I was such a chill bride, but truly it's because Bristol and her team handled all of the details the month-of. Having her be the contact point person for all of our vendors made wedding planning a MUCH more enjoyable experience. On the day of our wedding, we got to be FULLY present! All of our guests remarked how smooth, efficient, and flawless the day was, and I know it was no accident, but rather a testament to Bristol's hard work and incredible abilities. I loved not having to micromanage the details of making sure everything was set up correctly, or that the DJ got the right cues, or when dinner was served, etc. Also Bristol's extensive planning suite complete with checklists, guest lists, budget trackers, and more was so helpful in the planning process! I cannot say enough good things about Bristol and her team - our day was absolutely flawless thanks to them!

Amanda Paige Events is a wedding planning company operating out of Chicago, IL. Owner and operator Amanda is a talented individual that takes great joy in serving couples as they celebrate life’s precious milestones. With a focus on exceptional customer experience, Amanda and her team look forward to bringing your dream wedding to life.

My husband and I got married in July 2022 and we booked Amanda about 16 months in advance. I think I, perhaps, was on the moderately chill side and sometimes I didn't know what to do because I either liked a lot of options or I just didn't even know what the options were. Amanda really helped me narrow things down and kept the wedding planning moving forward on pace. She had great ideas, great vendor recommendations, and was always kind and patient when I was confused or indecisive. I am so glad that I worked with Amanda for my wedding; I had the most joyful day and even when there were unexpected problems, Amanda and the assigned coordinator, Taylor, worked everything out so that my husband I really never felt anything but wedded bliss. I can't recommend Amanda Paige Events enough, they truly made me feel cared for and that they were invested in making my wedding the best it could possibly be!
