I can not thank Carolyn and the CM Planning LLC team enough for their assistance at our recent wedding on 03/15! Carolyn was a dream to work with. She was so helpful answering all of questions and concerns, giving the best advice, letting me vent when needed, and being so attentive on our big day. Carolyn and her team executed my vision for our ceremony space, it was absolutely beautiful. I love that they offer services "ala-carte" for those on a budget, this was beyond helpful to keep us within our wedding budget yet still have that extra hands on deck that we needed. I am most grateful for the added service of transporting our decor from the venue after our wedding. This saved me so much stress of how I would get those taken down and transported at the end of the night. It was the best money I ever spent. I would highly highly recommend CM Planning LLC for any future bride! Do yourself a favor and hire them, you won't regret it! Thanks Carolyn!

Monarch Creative Events exceeded my expectations beyond belief! I am quite the control freak, but Alexa was so respectful of my ideas and tweaked everything to perfection. Any time I needed her opinion or advice on a matter, she was right there by my side (through email, text, or a phone call) with exactly what I needed. As you can see by the title of this review, my husband and I were not her typical bride and groom. We did not want a ceremony and we wanted something pretty casual with bits of tradition, but also something different than what most weddings are like. Alexa worked with us every step of the way, even went I went rogue on the décor instructions, and never had one complaint. And this is all only PRE-event! The day of was, no joke, more than I could have possibly imagined. Alexa made my vision become a reality, when I wasn't sure it could be possible. To give you a visual, we had our celebration at a forest preserve with food trucks, a mobile bar, an ice cream cart, caricature artists, flower crowns and tattoos, and TWO DOG RESCUES WITH PUPPIES! The amount of compliments received on our celebration was insane!!! If there were any issues the day of, I never heard about them or dealt with anything. Everything went PERFECTLY! I owe it all to Alexa and Monarch Creative Events for making my dreams come true! I can't wait for my pictures to come back so I can re-live the day and share with as many people as possible!!! Thank you Alexa and Monarch Creative Events!!! You truly are angels!!!

I cannot say enough good things about my experience with Erin. I planned my wedding over a 2 year period and Erin was there every step of the way helping with vendor selection, timelines, site visits, and any question I could possibly have. She was very timely with her responses, extremely organized, and was always down to jump on a zoom call with me. My wedding would not have been what it was without Erin's help, I feel very lucky to have had her as a day of coordinator!

Laury was a godsend for our wedding. After our first phone call I knew she was the one. Her sweet demeanor and bubbly personality is unlike any other coordinator that I interviewed. She took the time to get to know me and my husband and was genuinely interested in making our day our own. Never once did she treat our wedding like "just another wedding." Everyone kept asking me how I was so calm and easy going through out or wedding day - and the month leading up to it - and I owe it all to her. She took my vision and brought it to life. She got all of my vendors on the same page and handled all of the little unexpected hiccups with ease. I cannot recommend her enough!

At Cylee Catherine Events, we believe in planning and coordinating events so that the hosts are able to enjoy the moments that will one day be their favorite memories to look back on. Throughout the planning process, I do my best to listen to your ideas and help bring forward the vision for your special day that you are trying to achieve with a flawless execution.

I don’t even know where to begin to thank Cylee for the amazing job she did at our wedding. I originally had another planner that made me dread planning my wedding. 3 weeks prior to the wedding I decided to drop the old planner and go with Cylee, who was introduced to me by my photographer Arleigh. From the first meeting Cylee left such a great impression on both my husband and I. She was so organized, professional , and had a clear list of what needed to get done. The 3 weeks prior to the wedding went by so fast, but Cylee made those last 3 weeks feel like such a breeze. She communicated between the vendors and us, and always kept us informed on every little step. She made all the calls and emails, which really helped us so much. The day of the rehearsal, she came with copies of the timeline for all of us. She went through every detail and walked us through the game plan of the day. Later that night she checked in with me to see how we were doing. Even just the small sincere gesture of a simple text with words of encouragement, was more than enough to ease our minds for the big day. I have no words to describe just how magical and perfect the day of the wedding was. Cylee came bright and early to help with decor, vendors, a stressed out bride and stressed out parents. She was always coming in to check up on me, while still coordinating everything else. She was literally with us every step of the way. Our venue required a room flip, and she handled it with such speed and perfection. When we were introduced and walked in to the dinner area for the first time, I could not believe how beautiful she had arranged everything. I had no plan for the sweetheart table, but she arranged it so beautifully I felt like I was in a fairytale. My husband is not much of the dreamer type, but even he said that, he finally understood what it felt like to describe something as magical and dreamy. Cylee did such an amazing job that I had many guest come up to me to say how wonderful she was. Everyone loved her! And We loved her! Cylee is so kind, sincere, organized, passionate, caring and overall just an amazing person to have in your life. Her planning services were worth every penny. Because of her, our wedding came out better than we had ever imagined, and we created memories of a lifetime. She exceeded every expectation and honestly you will not regret hiring Cylee.

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!!!

I am going to figure it out so you can be present with your family and friends.” She did everything perfectly, but this impressed me the most! She even scheduled a few times during our wedding where my husband and I had a few moments alone together. We appreciated this so much because it allowed us to slow down, be present, and catch our breath. My wedding was flawless and I owe it all to her! Thank you so much Katie! Please keep in touch!
