Honestly 10 out of 5 stars is what I would give this company. Misha was my day of coordinator and she was attentive, caring, proactive, and really loves weddings l. She listened intently on how my partner and I met and looked through my wedding PowerPoint and responded to all my texts. There was a hiccup the morning of my wedding but gthr went above and beyond where the founder of the company actually came to help to make sure everything was seamless. I wasn't expecting that at all so seeing her there assisting made me feel at ease. If they weren't there I think I would've been a hot mess. Worth every penny.

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!

Haylie is incredibly good at what she does. Every event she has a hand in curating is always dripping with intentionality, on top of looking incredibly aesthetic. There are always echos of joy from anyone that leaves one of her events. I only wish she was still in Los Angeles, but I'm excited for the midwest to be reaping the benefits of her talent.

Hire the day of coordinator. I repeat hire the day of coordinator. As soon as my husband and I got engaged we jumped on the planning process and got all our major vendors covered before we considered hiring a day of coordinator. When it came to it, even though our wedding wasn’t going to be decor heavy we still thought having someone to guide us through the big day was going to be the best option for us. Blair was with us for more than just the big day but helped us through all the smaller vendors and details we may have never even thought of without her. Blair gets to know her couples from the moment you contract with her and was there for us through our little bumps in the road. We hired Blair for her day of coordination but we got more than we bargained for in the best way possible. You will not have a care in the world with Blair and her team on your side and can fully enjoy your wedding day knowing everything is taken care of. Thank you again Blair team!!

Rebecca is incredible, hands down an exceptional person, and fantastic to work with. If you have any opportunity to work with Rebecca I highly recommend to do so! Rebecca has made the whole wedding planning process such an enjoyable & memorable experience and without Rebecca’s help, we would not have had such an amazing wedding day. Rebecca is the utmost professional, able to handle anything we could throw at her with her wealth of experience, her access/network to some of the best wedding vendors and simply her huge amount of knowledge about anything in the wedding industry. She was paramount in assisting us with navigating the selection of certain vendors, helping us with the event planning and logistics side, and outlining the steps needed to be properly married. We worked with Rebecca in preparation for our marriage in May 2023 where she served both as our wedding planner, day of coordinator, and officiant. In all three capacities she has gone above and beyond our level of expectations and has delivered to us one unforgettable wedding weekend that our closest friends, and family cannot stop raving about. As an officiant, over the course of a couple months Rebecca got to know us quite well as a couple and was able to craft a highly personalized and tailored wedding ceremony that intertwined many of the details she came to learn about our relationship including how we met, some of our anecdotes, having our personalities come across the ceremony, and the values and hopes we want to achieve in this marriage. It means the world that she was able to effectively craft a narrative but also deliver an eloquently, emotionally charged ceremony, in which guests could not stop saying how well structured and crafted it was but also how beautiful and thoughtful it was. As a day of coordinator and as our planner, all the logistics in the lead up and for the marriage day including our preparation for the wedding day, transportation & lodging, photography and videography covering us throughout our offsite and on-site photo locations, coordination of all the vendors for catering and décor and taking us to the finish line insuring cocktail hour, and dinner service all operated so smoothly without a hitch. Throughout the planning process, Rebecca always listened to any of our ideas or concerns, and was able to provided us sound reasoning and recommendations, while addressing our thoughts. She was always on top of everything, exceptionally organized and always keeping track of us making sure we were completing all the various wedding planning tasks needed. Working with her was so easy as she was so respectful, thoughtful, and kind to us. It is bittersweet as I will miss working with her and she simply did such an amazing job I wanted her to come celebrate with us on the dance floor, but she delivered a home-run wedding and one I know we will never forget. Rebecca if you read this you are the best!! Please book SPW & Rebecca because I cannot sing her praises and recommend her highly enough!

Lindsay not only plans weddings for our Simply Elegant couples but also trains our entire team of planners to ensure that every Simply Elegant wedding is flawless and our client's vision is fulfilled.

Our coordinator, Hanh, was absolutely marvelous! She was attentive, fun, and made us feel so taken care of. We used SEG for their day-of coordinator services, but Hanh made it feel like so much more. I would highly recommend her! The deducted star was due to some communication difficulties we had with SEG (not Hanh!). We had a coordinator originally assigned to us, but when one of our vendors couldn't get a hold of our original coordinator, we reached out to SEG and found out that coordinator was no longer with SEG. I wish SEG had been proactive in letting us know when our coordinator left; even though we only had day-of services, our vendors still needed our contact from SEG in the months before the wedding.

With about 9 months till my wedding and so much left to do, we looked for help. I found Rojin on Zola and she was not only highly rated, but incredibly affordable compared to the other planners. We scheduled a meeting with Rojin and she was the only one who didn’t shy away from my non-traditional ways and ideas. She basically had the job right then and there. From that moment, the wedding finally seemed to start taking shape. Rojin scheduled a meeting with me once a month to go over everything. She would check in on my frequently to see if I had completed other tasks. I worked full time and ran my household so it was a blessing to have someone looking out for me. She was the organized part of me that was too overwhelmed to really connect my vision. She listened to me complain and cry about everything, offered calming and found advise, and defended my dreams from start to finish. I would tell Rojin I wanted XYZ, and every time she knows me that what I wanted was possible. When you finally get to meet Rojin, she really gives off this calming and yet confident air to her, you couldn’t help but feel that all this stress was worth it. And it was. Because of Rojin, the days leading up to my wedding were not only effortless, but smooth. The morning of my ceremony, I got to do exactly what I wanted, relaxed, ate with family/friends, existed in this exciting day. Her day of coordination was wonderful and perfect, she remembered everything I didn’t and even stayed after her scheduled time to just be with the guest! The most special was, she stayed long enough for my bride and I to have our last dance. I would recommend Rojin’s bridal services to any bride who needs a friend who knows what they are doing. I wouldn’t of had my dream wedding had Rojin not been involved. So thank you, Rojin!

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.

She truly put so much effort into making our day perfect (she even made the sun come out!!) and if anything went wrong we didn’t even notice.

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!!

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.

It's hard to put to words how much we appreciate Laura and the Fierce team, so we'll just share the text we sent Laura the day after our wedding: "Laura, it feels like the most common piece of advice people give about weddings is that, 'something will go wrong, just expect that'. However, you delivered a perfect wedding. We wouldn’t have changed a single thing. What you accomplished was absolutely extraordinary. Complete magic. We thought we knew exactly what to expect, but it was so much more than we dreamed of. We are so proud of what we created with you. It left guests feeling so grateful to have experienced something so unique and loving. They’re saying it was the coolest experience and best party they’ve ever been to." A few other highlights of working with Laura and the Fierce Team: - She doesn't just see it as her job to plan the wedding; she sees it as her job to allow you to be present during the big day. Many say "it all went so fast," when remembering their wedding, but it didn't feel like that for us because Laura made sure we could be present. - She respected our vision like it was her own and protected every piece of it. - By the time the wedding arrived, she was our friend--not a vendor. And that made the experience that day even cooler. Imagine having your friend send you down the aisle...rather than someone your hired. We would hire Fierce a million times over.

My husband and I booked Urban Allure as our wedding planners for month-of / day-of coordination services. We were paired with Kyleigh and her associate Ellie. They were unbelievably wonderful to work with ahead of the big day. They are professional, knowledgeable, and just overall nice people. I am so happy and thrilled we booked them, the month leading up to the wedding, they helped us with all the last minute items, payments, and final walk through, timeline & floorplan. The day of the wedding they ensured we were loaded in the shuttles in time and made it to the venue. They set up all our day-of items perfectly and made sure there were no issues all night, including keeping us on track with the timeline. We cannot recommend Kyleigh, Ellie, and the whole Urban Allure Team enough! They helped make our day so special and truly were a priceless service that I am so happy we went with!

We are event executors: organized, detail-oriented, list-makers who love nothing more than transforming your idea into an unforgettable occasion. Our role is to act as advocates for our clients. We support our clients’ desired goals in ways that make the most sense for each creative vision. 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.

We loved working with the wedding planner Sara from Monarch. Planning the wedding was so stressful until we started working with Sara and would recommend her to anyone. She’s easy to talk to and helped guide us when making difficult planning decisions. Sara also had her work cut out for her when about a month before our wedding the contact at our wedding venue left. Sara was able to help carry over all of our wedding details to the new contact. She also coordinated all of the logistics I didn’t even think of (like walkthroughs with vendors for example). On wedding day, Sara and assistant, Kayla, made sure we stayed on track with our timeline so my husband and I could enjoy the day. Thank you Sara and Kayla for making our wedding so memorable!

I cannot say enough incredible things about Erin. Above and beyond does not begin to cover it! Look no further for any of your wedding planning needs. We hired Erin for our month of coordinator almost 2 years in advance. From the beginning, she was very responsive, informative, kind, and helpful. I am pretty organized, and she consistently thought of questions I didn't! I was very impressed with her demeanor with myself and the rest of our vendors. Our venue required a pre-approved coordinator, and Erin took the steps to contact them to make sure she would work out, and we are so glad she did! She did everything she said she would and then some. She reached out to all of our vendors, worked with us on our timeline (many times!), attended our rehearsal, and never got frustrated even when we had a lot going on. Erin felt more like a friend than a coordinator, and we are so happy we got to spend our special day with her. Our day went so smoothly from start to finish, and we know this is due to Erin's impeccable attention to detail.

Working with Teyanna has been a wonderful experience. As a bride who had never been to a wedding I was very lost in the planning process. I was so glad to find Teyanna and she has been my saving grace since then. She was on top of everything, super thorough, and always in communication incase I needed anything or had questions. When I did speak directly with vendors each and everyone said she was an absolute doll and a pleasure to work with. She helped me make informed and wise decisions for my wedding and definitely made me feel at ease throughout my wedding planning process. She is so helpful and knowledgeable and I definitely recommend her work to any bride who needs a planner, coordinator, or decor for their wedding. She is a very honest, kind, and patient person and working with her has been such a delight. I've learned so much about the wedding planning process and it's been so fun. Planning a wedding in 6 months seems stressful but, honestly it's been a breeze. Teyanna had taken so much weight off my shoulders and made me feel comfortable entrusting my big day in her hands. Working with Essence of Flair was by far the best decision I made for planning my wedding and I would whole heartedly recommend their work to any bride.

If you want it done, she will coordinate it and go above and beyond. We also had Chive cater our wedding and it was absolutely incredible!! Guests are still telling me months later how much they enjoyed the food. Suzy put together a personalized menu for us and knocked it out of the park. She also had lots of options as far as service (buffet, family style, or plated), so it really is a completely customizable experience! Thank you Suzy and Chive team. I recommend Chive with the absolute highest enthusiasm!

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!

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!!!
