Sara is exactly who we were looking for when we started planning our wedding. She is attentive, easy to work with, knowledgeable, and professional! We initially thought we could handle all the planning and day of set up by ourselves, but we would have been so overwhelmed and stressed. Sara walked us through the entire process and made the planning process fun. We're so grateful for Sara and her passion, because of her, we were able to fully enjoy our wedding day.

Based in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Willow and Waylon Events is a wedding planning/coordination company.

Katie works to take care of the details, allowing you to relax and focus on creating memories with your loved ones. Whether you are planning an intimate gathering or an extravagant affair, she can assist with weddings of all sizes.

Our wedding day was absolutely magical and we owe it all to Katie from Willow and Waylon Events. From the moment we met Katie, her commitment to perfection and attention to detail shone through every step of the way which spoke to my very type A personality. She truly made the whole experience stress-free by keeping us on a timeline, keeping track of all of our vendors and given that we both have very hectic work schedules on top of moving out of state prior to the wedding, she dealt with all of the vendors for us. Not to mention when one coordinator from one of our vendors was not meeting her standards, she took to initiative to rectify the situation by contacting the company and changing coordinators for us to ensure we had the best possible experience. She was with us every step of the way with multiple regular check-ins over the year of planning and was by my side through the wedding day as a calming presence to keep everyone on track. She was always available via zoom, phone or text. She thought of things we didn't know we needed to think about and helped to suggest vendors when we didn't know who to choose in our price point. Above all, she is such a kind and thoughtful human being and in general, lovely to work with. I can't give Katie and her company higher praise, I would not have been able to get through planning our wedding and wedding day without her.

I cannot recommend Lyssa and Modern Sage enough. Having a day-of coordinator was one of the best planning decisions I made. Lyssa made the day run smoothly with no stress for me or my family. Our cake was delivered late and I didn’t even know or have to worry about it, she took care of it all. Not only that, the extra touches she made with our decor and setup, made our space look totally dreamy. Lyssa went way above and beyond our expectations and choosing her was one of the best things we did for our wedding!0

Dusti from the beginning of the planning process to the end of our wedding day went above and beyond for us. She checked in regularly during the process and was there to help with anything we needed. The day of the wedding we gave her creative freedom with our decorations and they turned out better than we could have ever imagined. We had torn suits that she was able to fix and make them look like nothing happened and we had some unruly bridesmaids that she handled with ease and class. Dusti was truly the savor of our day and helped everything run as effortlessly as possible so we could just enjoy our day and not worry about anything.

Sophia was an absolutely wonderful wedding planner. She thought of all of the details that needed taking care of to make our wedding truly as stress-free as a wedding can be, while still making sure that we had input in all of the important decisions. The result was a beautiful ceremony and reception that went off without a hitch, deeply reflected who both of us are individually and as a couple, and left multiple guests telling us afterwards that it was one of their favorite weddings they had ever been to.

Weddings can be overwhelming, but at April Hertz Coordination Services, we truly understand the stress that comes with planning and executing your special day. Our goal is to lighten your load, allowing you to fully focus on marrying the love of your life. Trust us to handle all the coordination and planning services, ensuring a seamless and unforgettable wedding experience for you.

April could change her title to 'wedding-saver' and it would be just as accurate. The night before our wedding, we learned that the venue had removed one of our tables and we had to redo our seating chart - April sprang into gear, helping us to get a new print-out of seating arrangements as well as verifying their accuracy the morning of the big day. She ensured all of our vendors were on time, kept me from having to deal with day-of difficulties (last-minute cancellations, timing issues, overzealous family members, etc.), and helped us clean up at the end of the night. We would have been lost without her!

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!

Becca was an amazing support throughout our wedding planning journey. She was always available to answer our questions and guide us through the process of planning our wedding. Her experience and wedding planner binder helped us stay organized and on track. She gave us valuable advice on how to make our wedding day even more special with meaningful decorations, music, drinks, and vendors. We are so grateful for Yes To I Do and couldn't have done it without their help!

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!
