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.

Neither my husband nor I had been in a wedding, so we had no idea what we were doing when we began planning. We hired SEG for full-service planning, and we were so impressed by the time and resources made available to us. Our planner, Hanh, was so organized and attentive throughout the process. She was able to provide us with so many ideas to make our vision come true, and she knew to ask the vendors questions we never would have even thought of. She even went above and beyond on the day of, in ways such as helping bustle my dress which my mom and I couldn't figure out. The wedding workbook, especially the checklist organized by time out from the wedding, was so helpful in giving us a visual representation of everything we needed to do. Overall, hiring SEG full-service was well worth the money, and we highly recommend them for anyone who doesn't have the time or experience to plan their wedding themselves!

From large-scale events to intimate celebrations, weddings rich in cultural traditions, or laid-back gatherings, we know how to adapt our skills to meet every client's needs.

Awarded Best of Zola
One of the first questions Bristol asked us was what we didn't like about the wedding planning process and the day of activities/schedule. That question revealed so much about Bristol's professionalism, thoughtfulness, genuine curiosity, attentiveness and detailed approach to event planning. We knew we wanted to hire her as our day-of coordinator. Beyond that, when we explained our needs and vision to Bristol, she was up for the challenge. It required communication and coordination across multiple locations and multi-faceted logistics, which were all executed beautifully. Secondly, the team knew several of our sustainability-minded vendors, which was a huge plus for us, as it made coordination and communication easier. Even without those connections, the detailed documents provided helped us stay organized while giving the team the info they needed to ensure everything ran smoothly. We appreciated Bristol's professionalism, creativity, flexibility and support throughout our wedding planning process. Her company's values aligned with ours, which we wanted to display through the various elements of our wedding. She brought it all to fruition and understood exactly where we were coming from. Bristol helped us solidify the vision and execution of our "playful elegance" theme, gave her honest and expert opinion when solicited, ran on schedule, and picked up, set up, and packed up all of the decor items we had. The team even sent us some of the photos they took of our venue and wedding day details, which was a sweet and memorable touch. We felt completely free to enjoy our wedding reception and are so glad we selected Sustainable Soirees. We would absolutely hire Bristol for future events and couldn't recommend Sustainable Soirees enough -- especially for those who care about the sustainability of their event.

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.

Planning a wedding is stressful, if you’re looking at this review…chances are you know what I’m talking about! I went with Bisoux Event Co for day of coordinator services. Lisa came to my final walk through - and she was on top of everything in the best way. Asking all the right questions, things I hadn’t even thought of, took notes - she was so organized. I could finally take a breath, my day of coordinator was there to the rescue. Afterwards, we grabbed a beer and talked even more about the wedding plans. She was available to answer questions anytime via text, email and helped me with all the final details and staying organized for the day of the wedding. She came to our hotel the weekend of the wedding for a ceremony run through and we all felt totally prepared afterwards. She was also so sweet with our flower girls/ring bearer, and gave them the encouragement they needed to be part of the ceremony! On the day of my wedding she gave me such a sense of calm during a crazy day. All day long, she worked tirelessly for every detail. Made sure all the vendors were on time/reached out to them if they weren’t, and handled any day of catastrophes (there’s always gonna be something that comes up!) . Everyone had a blast at the wedding and Lisa of Bisoux Event Co was a huge part of that. She made my wedding vision come to life!!! Mine and my husbands family also took notice of her hard work and organization. My only regret is not working with her sooner. I know she would have been a great help earlier in the planning process! Cannot recommend her enough - honestly! She’s also a great person overall so really glad I got the experience to know her and work with her.

America is such an amazing person to work with. Wanted to have a wedding of about 150 people in the Chicago Metropolitan area and a budget of 22,000 USD (just wanna say that keeping to the budget was my main goal). This can be typically difficult given the cost of venues and things in the Chicago area. America helped find a glamorous ball-style venue (my preference) that also had an outside lake as a great view for the ceremony. The venue also catered to most of the other needs at a reasonable price. Furthermore, we met regularly with America to go over what our expectations of each vendor would be, and with a great understanding of what we wanted, she was resourceful in getting the appropriate vendors and negotiating a good price with them. She made sure that within the short period of planning (we contacted her about 4 months before the wedding), every step of the plan towards the wedding day was carried out in a timely manner with nothing left unattended to... I mean nothing. On the day of the wedding, she drew up a great timeline and went above and beyond to ensure all went according to plan timely and we were not stressed out. It was such a good and memorable event that we received numerous compliments on it. With her being very affordable for the service she gives and she being intentionally involved in everything, we definitely kept to budget and had better than the wedding we had hoped for. She was on top of her game from start to finish . She isn't only an event planner to us but is also a friend. I thank God for you america and for all you did. These few words cannot fully explain how excellent you are in what you do.

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.

Our wedding day was so much fun, and we are so grateful to Laura and Olivia for making it possible! When we got engaged, we knew some of the things we wanted to be a part of our wedding, and some of the things we didn’t — but we had no idea how to put it all together. We also knew that we wanted to have the kind of wedding that requires a lot of preparation, but that we didn’t want have wedding planning become second jobs for us. We tried out a couple wedding planners, and eventually we sat down with Laura. She methodically worked with us on how to turn all the things we like and care about and that unite as a couple into a wonderful and perfect wedding — and helped us organize it all into manageable chunks with a clear timeline. We started our wedding planning with Laura and Olivia, and eventually when Laura went on maternity leave we stayed with Olivia for the rest of our journey. Each had their own personal touches and ways of working, but both were incredibly professional, helpful, and organized. We often showed up to meetings knowing the general vibes that we wanted, not necessarily specifics or even how to express those “vibes”, and Laura and Olivia turned those into concrete vendors, choices, and timelines. In the end, we made it through planning without it ever feeling like a second job, and we were in a great position to enjoy the most perfect wedding we could imagine: a big party with all our favorite people, and all our favorite things, celebrating what we love most about each other. More on the big day: Olivia and team managed the day exceptionally well. Everything was in place without us ever having to worry about a single thing. The day was fun and light, from getting dressed and having photos taken all over the city, all the way through the end of the night. Throughout the day, we kept getting asked how we found our amazing venue, caterers, photographer, DJ, florist… the list goes on. Each and every one of them was recommended by Laura. She did a great job of recommending a few vendors that she knew and trusted that fit with our vision for our wedding day, and each one of them did a phenomenal job. Our food was delicious, our music was a hit, and the decorations were beautiful, and we weren’t worried at all on the day. Days and weeks after the wedding, we’re still a little shocked: we knew this would be a party with our favorite people and favorite things, but even we didn’t expect the end result to be so much fun.

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.

I 100% recommend Sarah! My biggest regret of my wedding was not finding and hiring her sooner! During our consultation (and every call or text afterwards) I felt like I was talking to a friend. You can tell she truly loves what she does. She took SO much stress off me and my family. She created our day of plan, set up the decor, took it down, brought gifts to our car, was the main contact for vendors and so much more. Even my dad who is a money pincher said he was really glad we had her the day of. She also helped direct our rehearsal. Having a huge party that really helped! Seriously hire her ASAP! I’ve told everyone I’ve talked to about the wedding how amazing she is and I will tell my friends again once it’s their turn to get married. My family and I could enjoy ourselves the whole day because we could trust all the logistics were handled by Sarah. Best decision I made while planning. Thank you so much!!

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.

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!!!
