Finishing Touch Events

Remember the Moment...Not the stress

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.

That's where I come in. With my experience and calm demeanor, I will remind you to take those deep breaths, stay hydrated, and assure you both that I'm here to help with everything that has been planned, and even the things that haven't. I'll handle the details and solve any issues that arise, so you don't have to worry. My care for you and your family comes from the heart. I know how important this moment is for you, and my goal is to ensure it goes as smoothly and enjoyably as possible. I look forward to chatting with you and your partner!

  • The Most Comfortable Planner Ever

    Finishing Touch Events was an absolute dream to work with as our month-of wedding planners. From our very first interaction, their communication style was comfortable, warm, and collected, putting us at ease throughout the planning process. The quality of their work and value they provided was truly professional, easy, and open - they were able to bring a sense of ease to our wedding day that I didn't think was possible. The Finishing Touch team saved the day many times, and we are forever grateful for their expertise and support in making our special day so perfect. I would highly recommend Finishing Touch Events to any couple looking for a stress-free, seamless wedding experience.

  • One of the best event planners I’ve worked with!

    I had a great experience working with Chelsea for my wedding (of more than 300 people)! Even though I hadn’t initially planned to use an event coordinator, she was recommended by one of my friends and it was one of the best decisions I made. From the outset, she was very personable and empathetic to my needs and concerns. She came to meet me at the venue several days before the event to familiarize herself with the venue and staff. And then day-of, she did a great job at keeping everything moving smoothly from the bride and groom and family entrances to the food to the pictures and more. I would highly recommend Chelsea for your event needs.

  • Best wedding planning duo!

    Molly and Corrine were amazing! They answered any and all questions prior to the big day and then made sure everything was executed flawlessly on the wedding day. The meetings that they have with you leading up makes you feel so prepared that there won’t be any issues. They were the reason our day went off perfectly would not say enough good things about them. The best duo to work with who truly makes sure your wedding day is covered from beginning until the end!

  • MUST-HAVE for your day!

    Seriously, HIRE CHELSEA! She brought so much organization, joy, and peace for the days leading up to my wedding AND the day-of! My family, friends, and I could not get enough of her! She predicted everybody's needs before a word was said. She truly understands this industry, and her expertise shows every step of the way. She knows the best vendors, best timeline for your individual needs, and best ideas for whatever your heart desires! She goes above and beyond to make your day your own. Without her, my day would've blown up in flames, and that says something since I'm a huge planner in my own right. She brought things to my attention that I did not consider - her experience and expertise are evident! On the day of, she was SO on top of everything - coordinating the florist, hair/makeup, shuttle transportation, my first look, etc! I do not know how she does it all she looked out for me always - getting me water and food consistently! She is the multi-tasking queen, and her calm demeanor with any situation was much appreciated! Truly, you will not regret having Chelsea on your team. She will make your day your DREAM day! THANK YOU CHELSEA FOR MAKING OUR WEDDING DAY STRESS-FREE AND FUN! 3
