Cylee Catherine Events

Wilmington, IL
  • Offers 3 services
  • Starts at $1,500

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.

Consider me your right-hand gal, your “planner in your pocket”, your sounding board and the gal that will make sure your wedding day is flawless!

Awarded Best of Zola
If you’re looking to enjoy your wedding day and the process that comes with planning, don’t hesitate - book Emily! Weddings are insane, wedding culture has become so toxic.. but it doesn’t need to be your experience! My fiancé and I worked with Emily for our Oct 2023 wedding for 16 months. I knew I needed to contact her after being a bridesmaid in my best friend’s wedding where Emily was the planner. Emily is clear with her services, expectations from both sides, and her pricing. You can tell that she loves what she does. Her pricing for services are well worth it. A wedding is a huge investment - spending a little extra to have a professional with a calm demeanor plan your wedding with you and execute the day of.. it’s priceless. From the start, she talked with us to understand what we wanted and didn’t want. Mind you, we have never planned a wedding but she has! Incredibly patient. Emily scoped out all of our vendors according to the budget we set together. She came to all calls with vendors and helped us to choose the venue. She knew all questions to ask and also networked right before our eyes! Our vendors were vetted and some even already knew Emily and worked directly with them. Emily is also a fantastic mother who balanced being a new mom and a planner at the same time. The day of our wedding, she was calm and never showed an ounce of worry or stress. She took the reigns for every aspect and didn’t allow me to lift a finger. There is so much more to say and not enough time in the day. Most of my friends cried and stressed for months over what should be the best day of their lives, while I enjoyed working with Emily. I can’t wait to use her for a baby shower in the futures.

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!

I have been coordinating weddings since early 2018, but have been networking in the industry for several years now. I love working with all of the gorgeous venues we have here in the suburbs of Chicago and can't wait to get started planning your dream wedding.

Breann from Grayter Events is by far one of the best in the industry! She’s very well known and so easy to work with! As a fellow vendor we love working with you. So simple, detailed oriented, making the clients day is easier is her passion! Definitely recommend

Planning Weddings That Are Perfectly You You finally found the one you can’t live without. And your love? It’s one of a kind. Your wedding should be, too. That’s why you can’t waste your precious engagement planning a Pinterest wedding or following a cookie-cutter wedding template. Your love story deserves to be told in a unique, tailored-to-you, one-in-a-million way. It should be a day that illustrates your individual personalities and shows your guests what kind of life you’ll build together. It should be elegant and sophisticated — just like you.

I was that person that did not think I needed a wedding planner! I decided last minute I needed one and I had interviewed 4 people and Christena was the only one that made me feel comfortable! Christena helped keep me organized, in control, and confident that I would be able to get through this! She brought things to my attention that I had no clue I needed to do. During the rehearsal dinner she got everyone in line and made sure everyone knew exactly what they were doing. The day of the wedding Christena and her assistant Jill knew literally handled everything from making sure my vision was brought to life, to making sure everything ran accordingly to plan, and making sure all items that were mine were organized and set aside for my family to gather at the end of the night. I cannot sing Christena’s praises enough! You are getting more than a wedding planner with her! If you are on the fence about this do not be, it is the best money well spent!!!

We originally looked for a Day-Of Coordinator just to help us with setting out decor, which Tracie did beautifully, but she really did so much more. She provided checklists and resources long before the wedding to help us stay on track, built connections with all our vendors, and effortlessly orchestrated both guests and staff on the day of. I’m a naturally anxious person, so had come to terms with being a nervous wreck on the wedding, but I can honestly say that I wasn’t anxious at all the day of, because Tracie took care of every big and little thing. Our wedding was everything I (the bride) imagined and I have Tracie to thank for that!

We will collaborate with you to produce an unforgettable event that will be tailored to you and your fiancé.

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.

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.

Amber's presence was calming and reassuring, allowing us to savor every moment without worry. From the ceremony to the reception, everything unfolded with ease and we owe it all to Amber's expertise and passion. Amber's warm and personable nature was a delightful bonus. Throughout the planning process, she was not just a wedding coordinator but a friend who genuinely cared about making our day special. Her positive energy and infectious enthusiasm made the experience enjoyable and stress-free, and we felt like we were in the best hands possible. Our wedding day was an absolute fairytale.

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 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.

We've taken on what we thought was an impossible task: a grand 5-day Indian affair for 430 people with only 3 months to plan. That's where Isabel and her incredible team stepped in, turning our dream into an incredible reality. Organizing a wedding from the Haldi ceremony to the grand reception in just three months is no small feat, yet Isabel did it with such grace and efficiency. Her attention to detail, educating herself on the customs and intricacies of Indian weddings, and her ability to execute everything perfectly left us in awe. The smallest of our ceremonies hosted 70 guests, while the largest celebration welcomed an astonishing 430 people. Remarkably, each event went off without a hitch. On all of the days, thanks to Isabel and her team, we were able to relax and fully immerse ourselves in the joy and love surrounding us. We received countless compliments from our guests on how impeccably organized and smooth everything was. Isabel's expertise in handling every aspect of the wedding, from the tiniest detail (matching drinks to the ceremony's colors) to the most significant arrangements (having only 1.5hrs to setup the ceremony with 700 chairs and a massive mandap), ensured a seamless and memorable experience for us and our families.

Jaime was, and still is, a complete godsend. Though highly organized myself, her expertise in the industry and incredible kindness made planning our wedding weekend a breeze. Whether it was a formal planning call or a quick text question, we always felt heard and understood. Jaime did a beautiful job turning our vision into a reality, and helped us keep in budget while focusing on the most important parts of our day. Not only did we use her as our planning coach, but we also asked her to photograph our Ketubah signing the night before, and the photos are beautiful. Her ability to manage vendors, keep others accountable, and maintain her smile is a skill I continually admire. Many folks were asking us after our weekend who our planner was (and if she was available) and we cannot sing her praises enough.

Weddings can be overwhelming, but at April Hertz Coordination Services, we truly understand the stress that comes with planning and executing your special day. Our goal is to lighten your load, allowing you to fully focus on marrying the love of your life. Trust us to handle all the coordination and planning services, ensuring a seamless and unforgettable wedding experience for you.

April could change her title to 'wedding-saver' and it would be just as accurate. The night before our wedding, we learned that the venue had removed one of our tables and we had to redo our seating chart - April sprang into gear, helping us to get a new print-out of seating arrangements as well as verifying their accuracy the morning of the big day. She ensured all of our vendors were on time, kept me from having to deal with day-of difficulties (last-minute cancellations, timing issues, overzealous family members, etc.), and helped us clean up at the end of the night. We would have been lost without her!

Sophia was an absolutely wonderful wedding planner. She thought of all of the details that needed taking care of to make our wedding truly as stress-free as a wedding can be, while still making sure that we had input in all of the important decisions. The result was a beautiful ceremony and reception that went off without a hitch, deeply reflected who both of us are individually and as a couple, and left multiple guests telling us afterwards that it was one of their favorite weddings they had ever been to.

I take care of all aspects of the wedding day so my clients are free to party and enjoy their day-stress-free!

Maya was super wonderful for our wedding, she was the only person we met with for wedding planners that genuinely cared about us and what we wanted for our big day. She was super helpful with pulling everything together and helping us hunt down any missing pieces we wanted. She was super on top of stuff but was still able to have fun with us and bring everything so beautifully together. She also had my back through the whole process because there was other stuff going on with my family and she was there for me and was ready to help me out with whatever I needed to help deal with all of it. She was so amazing and I would recommend her a million times over to anyone.
