“Working with Destify - Destination Wedding Planners was an absolute pleasure from start to finish. Their communication style is attentive, as they always got back to me promptly and were down-to-earth and understanding throughout the process. The quality of their work and value they provided was exceptional - they are truly passionate about what they do, patient with all my questions, great listeners, and skilled problem-solvers. For example, Sandra made sure a guest who had to cancel last-minute got their money back seamlessly, and she even stepped in to contact the venue when I felt overwhelmed, helping to smooth things out.

“When I used to think of wedding planners, I pictured the movie version — someone with a headset, barking orders, and obsessing over every tiny detail (I've never been married, so I literally had no idea what to expect!!) But oh boy, was I wrong. I’m not the type of bride who grew up pinning wedding ideas or dreaming about dresses. When I got engaged, I just knew I wanted to celebrate that year, especially since my parents have health challenges and I wanted them to be part of something truly special. But once you start planning a wedding, you realize how overwhelming it all is — the costs, the choices, the emotions. I’m a TV producer, so I know what it takes to plan a big event, but wedding planning is its own beast. It takes people like Haylie and Becca to make it all come to life. Becca, in particular, was like an extension of me. She was funny, caring, and endlessly patient. She offered thoughtful advice when I had no clue what I was doing, and she made sure everything ran smoothly even when I was emotionally overloaded. She’s also incredibly creative — she even hand-made beautiful pieces for me that made the day feel so personal. Haylie and Heirloom Event Co made sure my wedding wasn’t just organized, but deeply special. They’re not the stereotypical “crazy planners with headsets” — they’re a compassionate, talented team who balance professionalism with heart. They understand what matters most: letting you actually be present with your partner, your family, and your friends. My day was better than I could have ever imagined, and I’ll forever be grateful for them.”

Awarded Best of Zola
“Simply Elegant Group was by far my favorite vendor! Every single person we talked to from Lindsay Mackey, their amazing manger and our first contact to the hotel-block assistant was a joy to work with, communicative and helpful. The workbook, spreadsheets, and connections with other coordinators and vendors made the whole wedding planning process more enjoyable and streamlined. We chose the Day of Coordination and are very grateful to have had Hanh as our wedding coordinator! Hanh is worth her weight in gold! With Day of Coordination we received not only ten hours of custom coordination from the wonderfully efficient and empathic Hanh, we also had the help of her assistant. This was perfect because someone was by my and my husband’s throughout the day. I loved that with SEG we had a whole team of magnifically organized, thorough and compassionate individuals to support us in executing our dream wedding. Once we had submitted our information Lindsay contacted us to go over all of the things included in wedding planning. She created a rough draft of our day of timeline and gave us access to our Wedding Workbook. They have templates for everything you will need for organizing your wedding and making sure you do not miss out on important, but often overlooked details. Two months before our wedding date we were connected with Hanh. From our first meeting throughout the whole time before the wedding and for the duration of our wedding itself Hanh was both our wedding angel and ninja rolled all into one. I had done a lot of the initial setting up vendors, but as soon as she could she took over as my contact person. This meant the vendors had to email/reach out to Hanh and left me feeling like a weight had been lifted off my shoulders. From this point on I started to enjoy wedding planning.I love that she reached out to not only myself, but included my now husband and daughter in on a meeting. If there were any hiccups leading up to the wedding I did not know until they were already handled. On our wedding day, everything went smoothly for my husband and I and our family.Again if there were any mishaps my husband and I were oblivious of them and we had the best wedding ever! Hanh was ready for anything, made sure we were treated like royalty and also took some amazing pictures! Thank you to Hanh and Simply Elegant Group for making our dream wedding come true! All of the things, Mr. and Mrs. Haynie”

We love getting to know our clients, understanding what matters most to them, and turning those ideas into a celebration that feels personal and intentional.

“We truly cannot say enough amazing things about our wedding coordinators, Lety, Alexis, and Veronica! They were such an important part of making our wedding day everything we hoped it would be. Their help started months before the wedding. They worked with us to make sure everything was organized, communicated and connected with our vendors, and made sure all of the details were coming together as the big day approached. Having them there throughout the process gave us so much peace of mind knowing that everything was being taken care of. On the day of our wedding, they were absolutely incredible. They made sure everything ran smoothly and stayed on schedule from beginning to end. They handled communication with our vendors, answered questions, addressed any concerns that came up, and took care of all the little things behind the scenes so that we didn't have to worry about anything. Most importantly, they made sure that my groom and I were able to actually enjoy our wedding. They constantly checked in on us, made sure we had everything we needed, and allowed us to be fully present and enjoy such a special day with our family and friends. We are so incredibly grateful for Lety, Alexis, and Veronica and all of the time, effort, and care they put into making our wedding day so special. Knowing they were there handling everything allowed us to relax and truly enjoy every moment. We couldn't have asked for a better team and would recommend them to any couple looking for coordinators who genuinely care about making your wedding day as stress-free and beautiful as possible. Thank you ladies for everything!”

“From the first call with Camille, I knew we were in the right hands! Despite the super tight timeframe we were working with (1 month), she took the time to really get to know us and our vision, support us along the way, and provide excellent guidance when we were unsure. Other planners we met with were nowhere near as personable, detail oriented, and engaged as Camille. She was so prepared, focused, and never lost sight of both the big picture of the day and how we were doing in the moment. We didn't have a bridal party, but having Camille there felt like having a best friend nearby to help with whatever I needed. She genuinely loves what she does and believes your wedding day should be the best day of your lives and she does everything in her power to make that come true.”

“We could NOT have done our wedding without Janella at Vinella Events. We were looking for a day-of coordinator because we thought it would help us enjoy our day and focus on celebrating with each other and our guests. We had that and more in working with Janella, and I am so thankful she made our wedding day as successful as it was. Janella came recommended to us by our venue, and we first met with her about 4 months before our wedding and went with her 6-week coordination package. We originally just wanted someone to help only for the day of the wedding, but this absolutely was a better deal because she came with us to our venue meetings, helped coordinate our timeline, asked insightful questions for things we never would have even thought of, went through our ceremony with me, and helped me feel SO much more prepared before the wedding through meetings and just being a resource. She helped us run an efficient rehearsal prior to the wedding and coordinated with me so that we would have all of the set-up and items how I wanted them for our wedding day. On the day of the wedding, she went above and beyond in her role. She set up all of our decor, helped facilitate transportation of items, executed the timeline and adapted when things went off time (and importantly, did all of this seamlessly so that myself and the guests didn’t notice), created back-up plans when there were issues with other vendors, coordinated set-up with other vendors, ran to get my lipstick from another room for photos, and too many other things behind the scenes that I didn’t even have to know about because I was able to trust her to tackle them. I had multiple compliments from family members and friends about how organized she was and how kind she was, and she made a 270-person wedding flow seamlessly. She ultimately gave us the ability to just ENJOY the day without having to answer questions or worry about things going on that day. I am so thankful for Janella and would hire her again in a heartbeat. Thank you for everything, Janella!”

She calmed my family members down when needed - and they all told me how much they appreciated Amanda’s guidance and direction during our rehearsal. And did it all with a smile.

As your straightforward sounding board, we'll help you narrow down your Pins and hear out your dreams. (Heck, we'll even dream with you.) And we'll help you navigate your feelings, ideas and even your mom! But you should also know that if one of your ideas won’t really work – or there is a better way to approach your idea, we’re going to tell you that too! Because, trust us, you might think a trolley filled with your wedding party is a great idea. But the air conditioning of a bus is better than diesel fumes any day - especially during summer in the city.

“We would give Diane 11 out of 10 stars if we could. With both of us working long hours in high-pressure jobs, the idea of planning a wedding felt completely overwhelming—until Diane came along. We first connected with her for a venue consultation, and right from the start, we were impressed by her eye for detail and deep expertise in creating beautiful weddings. It quickly became clear that any vendor Diane recommended would be top-notch. She introduced us to professionals we wouldn’t have found on our own and thought of countless details that never would have crossed our minds. As the big day approached, friends and family kept asking, “Are you stressed?” And every time, our answer was the same: “Not at all—Diane’s got it.””

Shh Events comes from all of the experiences I have gained- all of the trade secrets- that set my experience as a wedding planner to an elevated level of expertise. Shh Events is a curator for love stories, and it's an honor to be a part of the stories we tell.

“For everyone who thinks they don’t need a wedding planner. You do. You do and you specifically need Stephanie. If everyone had a Stephanie, there would be no wedding disasters, no war, and no famine. Stephanie is the best. She helped us look through contracts with vendors, talked us through conversations with catering (which is how we met her), and ran our wedding day seamlessly. Stephanie really knows this business. She helped us manage our budget, she set expectations and timelines, and was super responsive with emails and questions. She also was respectful and inclusive to us with all our identities, as a gay couple and a Jewish/Italian couple. The wedding industry often assumes a lot of things but Stephanie is so kind and goes out of her way to make sure she never does. Beyond that, I think it’s important to highlight what a wedding planner does the day of. She makes sure all the tables are set up so you don’t have to. She makes sure your vendors arrive on time. She made sure our photos and our flowers were set up. I cannot emphasize enough how much you will not want to be doing your own table arrangements when you’re trying to pull off the biggest party you’ve ever thrown. She also came a few days early and picked up ALL of the items for the wedding in her mini-van. Then she packed them up at the end of the night and delivered them a few days after the wedding?? That ALONE is the best. I assumed my wife, our families, and I would be packing things up that night but she gave us a magical day where we didn’t have to worry about anything. She’s also incredibly smart and thorough and NEVER complains. We had books as our centerpieces and realized later that the idea of books was going to be HEAVY. She never told us we were nuts but she actually said she liked it because we did things that were true to us. She has more energy than anyone I’ve ever met and her and her day-of assistant, Caitlin, were the best. Seriously, Stephanie is, as my wife says, a magical human being.

“I cannot begin to explain how amazing Camille, with Cherry on Top Creative Planning is. She has been our planner since day one, but when I received word that our original venue went bankrupt, she immediately started helping me look for a new venue and kept me calm. And in planning the wedding itself, I thought I had thought of everything, but boy was I wrong. Her attention to detail is bar none. Camille went above and beyond to ensure our wedding day was perfect, from coordinating all the vendors to making sure every last detail was taken care of. I don't know what we would have done without her expertise and calming presence throughout the entire process. I highly recommend Cherry on Top Creative Planning to any couple planning their dream wedding.”

“I had the pleasure of working with Amber to plan my three-day, April 2026 wedding, and I truly can’t recommend her enough. We chose her partial planning services, but she was by our side every step of the way—always available to answer questions and offer guidance whenever we needed it. Amber takes the time to genuinely understand who you are as a couple and what you want your day to look and feel like, then brings that vision to life seamlessly. The final weeks of wedding planning can be especially stressful, but time and time again, I’d go to take care of something and realize Amber had already handled it. If you’re considering working with Events with Ambiance for your special day, don’t hesitate. Amber is incredibly talented, organized, and efficient—and she will absolutely make sure your wedding is everything you’ve dreamed of.”

“Alyson served as our day-of coordinator in August of 2024, but she got to work well ahead of our big day. She spent a generous amount of time understanding our vision, our preferences, and our non-negotiables. She was on site with us for venue walkthroughs and established communication with our vendors ahead of time. She also checked in with us regularly to make sure we were on track. She was a bona fide problem solver, including helping our DJ sort out access issues with our venue, ensuring our guests didn’t walk through our aisle before the ceremony, and running across the street at the eleventh hour to buy eyelash glue. She even helped us bustle the wedding dress between the ceremony and reception when we couldn’t figure it out. We are really grateful for everything she did and we highly recommend working with her for your special day.”

Hi friend! I'm Pauline, and I am excited to help you have a fun, memorable and well-coordinated wedding. I left my career as a project manager at Meta to pursue my passion in event planning. Executing a wedding day brings me joy and fulfillment and I truly love being able to help couples on one of the most special days of their lives.

Awarded Best of Zola
“From the moment we started planning our wedding with Here It Blooms, Pauline's clear, professional, and organized communication style put us at ease. We went with The Bud package (30 days of planning). My main concern was coordinating and communicating with vendors the last 30 days and all of the day of coordination. I am a project manager so I thought I had everything set, but she was so helpful in highlighting the little things that we had forgotten to plan or think through, such as when do we want to have our first dance and parent dances, or how much to tip each vendor. Being able to rely on someone with industry knowledge alleviated a lot my stress. The detailed timeline she created was wonderful for our vendors and I didn't have to communicate with anyone. This allowed me to fully enjoy the day. Pauline and Priscilla's detailed work and smooth set-up ensured our reception space looked beautifully curated, with a perfect blend of DIY and venue-provided elements. Pauline even stayed an extra hour to carefully disassemble all the DIY items. Additionally, they made sure my husband and I had a private moment during cocktail hour to enjoy a sample of our hors d'oeuvres and signature cocktails - a thoughtful touch that provided a much-needed breather on our busy wedding day. The reassurance and value Here It Blooms provided was truly invaluable, and I would highly recommend them to any couple planning their special day.”

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 8 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.

Awarded Best of Zola
“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.”
