The best coordinator!
Michelle and her team at Bustle and Lace were amazing and an absolute pleasure to work with. I immediately knew that Michelle was the coordinator I wanted to work with after our first phone call. Not only does she offer comprehensive services that I was looking for in a coordinator, but she was also extremely thoughtful, organized, calm, and attentive to details that could easily be overlooked. Michelle was extremely responsive to any communication and I always felt that we were in capable hands during our planning process. We had scheduled meetings to go over the details every few months including the day of schedule, decor, and any other important details. She provided us with helpful templates, suggestions, and summaries after our meetings, which I constantly referenced while planning. She is also very knowledgeable about different venues and vendors in the Chicago area. Leading up to the final days to the wedding, she took over all communication and coordination with our vendors so everything worked seamlessly. After the ceremony, she made sure that we had a moment to ourselves so we could relax with some appetizers before joining the crowd. She even helped me bustle my dress! I truly felt that Michelle and her team made our day stress-free so we could enjoy ourselves with our family and guests. Michelle and her team went above and beyond and we are so grateful to them. If you are looking for a coordinator, I cannot recommend Bustle and Lace enough!
Phenomenal Day-Of Coordination by Bustle and Lace!
We cannot say enough great things about Michelle and her team at Bustle and Lace! Our wedding at The Fairlie in Chicago was an absolute dream—and it all ran flawlessly, thanks to her incredible work. From the very beginning, Michelle was a true professional and a calming presence. She maintained consistent and clear communication throughout the planning process and scheduled regular meetings to keep us on track with important milestones. She took charge of organizing with our many vendors—often without needing our involvement, which was a huge relief as the day approached. Michelle is incredibly well-established in the Chicagoland wedding scene and has clearly built strong relationships with many of the most popular local vendors—photographers, bands, DJs, caterers, florists, venues—you name it. That familiarity made coordination seamless and stress-free, and it was clear she had worked with many of our vendors before, which gave us even more peace of mind. She created a detailed, thoughtful timeline that covered everything from the bridal party’s hair and makeup arrival to the band’s final song and the venue teardown. Thanks to her preparation and the hard work of her team, everything went according to schedule without a single hiccup. On the wedding day itself, we were able to be fully present, knowing we were in the best hands. We didn’t have to worry about a thing and could simply enjoy every moment with our family and friends. We’re so grateful to Michelle and Bustle and Lace for making our wedding day stress-free and unforgettable. If you're considering a wedding coordinator, look no further—you’ll be so glad you booked her!

Her calm presence throughout the entire process and on the wedding day was invaluable, helping us stay relaxed and enjoy every moment, but also produce a truly perfect day. We are so appreciative to the team of Bustle and Lace for making our wedding day beyond special and unforgettable!!! Highly highly recommend!!!
Can’t say enough nice things!
