Before You Say I Do

  • Serves Stanford, IL

Hello, my lovely couples! My name is Annie and I have started my business at the beginning of 2023 and so far I've had clients from all over the East Coast. I am focused on Partial, Full time Wedding planning, Elopements and A-la carte. My goal is to help my clients and make sure that their wedding goes by the plan that they created.

Awarded Best of Zola
Annie from Before You Say I Do was an exceptional day-of-coordinator for our special day. Her communication style was frequent, clear, thoughtful, timely, and she was quick to respond to all of our questions and needs. The quality of her work and the value she provided was excellent-- she is hard-working and was incredibly considerate throughout the entire process. She went above and beyond, offering to bring additional decorations and even showing up the day before to assist with our traditional Vietnamese Tea Ceremony, which was not even on the same day as our official wedding. We had only hired her for her day-of coordination package, but even so, she was a consistent voice and helping hand for us for months leading up to the wedding. I can only imaging if we would have booked her whole wedding planning service, our wedding probably would have somehow been even more perfect than it already was. We are so grateful for her dedication and attention to detail in making our wedding day perfect. I highly recommend booking Annie!

Nice to meet you! My name is Mia, and I'm so glad you're here. After completing law school and spending a few years at a large firm, I found myself craving a more creative career—one that blended my experience in deal coordination and research with my type-A personality (I thrive on a well-organized spreadsheet), my passion for creating beautiful events, my love for collaboration, and my deep desire to bring joy to others. I'm a wife, mom, oldest sister, former dancer, reality TV binger, and proud cat lady. ​If you think I could be a good fit for your big day, reach out! I'd love to learn how I could help make your dream day come true.

Awarded Best of Zola
We had the pleasure of having Mia as our wedding officiant and honestly, she was amazing. From the very beginning, she was warm, professional, and super easy to work with. She took the time to create a ceremony that felt personal and genuine. On the big day, she delivered everything perfectly — calm, confident, and with just the right touch of emotion and joy. She truly made the moment special for us. We couldn’t have asked for a better person to marry us. Thank you, Mia, for being such an important part of our day. Highly recommend!

Awarded Best of Zola
We worked with Melannie from VW Events & Co. for partial planning beginning about six months before our wedding, as well as day-of coordination. Overall, we had a positive experience and are very grateful for the amount of stress she took off our plates throughout the planning process. Leading up to the wedding, Melannie was responsive, communicative, and incredibly helpful. She created our day-of timeline, communicated with vendors, attended meetings when requested, helped with logistics, and asked questions we never would have thought of ourselves. She also did a great job running our rehearsal. She took charge, coordinating with our pastor, walking everyone through the timeline/processional, and answering questions from our bridal party. Our biggest disappointment was the communication and coordination immediately before the ceremony. Our bridal suite was separate from the main venue, and there was very little communication with the bride and bridesmaids once Melannie arrived. When our photography timeline began running behind, there seemed to be some confusion about where the bride should be and when we should move to the venue. We were brought over too early, which left the bride waiting outside in a golf cart in 86-degree weather while guests were arriving, then being moved into the kitchen while catering and the bar were setting up. There also wasn't a chair available until one was requested just a few minutes before walking down the aisle. We had assumed there would naturally be a plan for where the bride could comfortably and privately wait before the ceremony, so we wish this portion of the day had been better coordinated and communicated. That being said, once the ceremony began, everything ran very smoothly. One thing we especially appreciated was Melannie giving us about five minutes completely alone immediately after the ceremony to take everything in as newlyweds. That small moment truly meant so much to us. The reception also ran smoothly overall, and she was attentive to the timeline, helped keep our vendors coordinated, and assisted with cleanup at the end of the night. Melannie was always kind and knew when to be firm when the situation called for it. Having her there allowed us to carry much less of the logistical stress ourselves and helped us stay calm and enjoy our wedding day. We would recommend Melannie and VW Events & Co., while also encouraging couples, especially those with a separate getting-ready space, to have a detailed conversation beforehand about day-of communication and where the bride and bridal party will be immediately before the ceremony. As someone with a Type B brain but a Type A personality, I found having a coordinator absolutely worth it! Having someone who could step in and essentially be another “brain” for us throughout the planning process and wedding day was incredibly valuable. We are thankful for everything Melannie did to help bring our day together and especially appreciate all of her support during the months leading up to our wedding.

Honey Hollow Events 
Rating: 4.9 (7 reviews)
  • Offers 2 services
  • Starts at $1,900
  • Serves Stanford, IL

At Honey Hollow Events, we believe your wedding day should feel calm, joyful, and totally you. We specialize in Day-Of Coordination for couples who’ve planned their own day and just want to relax and celebrate. About 4–6 weeks before, we jump in to tie up loose ends, confirm vendors, and bring your vision to life. We’re here to make sure all your hard work turns into a smooth, stress-free, and unforgettable day! 💕

A moment of silence for one of the best coordinators any bride could ever hope to have. I reached out to Marissa in June 2025, a full year before our wedding, and from day one she became so much more than a coordinator. She was my sounding board, my cheerleader, my voice of reason, and my calm whenever wedding planning felt overwhelming. No matter how busy she was, she always made time for me. Every question, every meeting, every last-minute thought—I never once felt like a burden. One of the best decisions we made was adding her setup and tear-down package. Brides, if you’re considering it, DO IT. After your wedding, you will be exhausted. Your parents will be exhausted. The last thing anyone wants to do is spend hours packing decor, organizing personal items, and figuring out where everything goes. Marissa handled it all. My family and I didn’t have to worry about a single thing. Everything was secured, organized, and ready for pickup the next day. That peace of mind alone was worth every penny. I am never the person who writes reviews, but Marissa deserves every ounce of recognition she receives. Throughout the planning process, she was there for every important milestone—our final walkthrough, rehearsal, vendor coordination, timeline creation, and all the countless details that go into making a wedding run smoothly. She created an incredibly detailed and personalized timeline that became the backbone of our day. Then June 7, 2026 arrived, and she absolutely proved why she is one of the best in the business. From the moment she arrived, she was in full wedding mode. Professional, organized, confident, and completely in control. She came dressed exactly as requested, equipped with an earpiece and constant communication with her assistant, ensuring every moving piece of the day was executed flawlessly. One of my biggest concerns was my processional music. I had very specific timing requests—I wanted each bridesmaid to walk at certain moments in the song so the chorus would hit perfectly when I walked down the aisle. I genuinely thought I was asking for the impossible. Not for Marissa. She had her assistant stationed with the DJ, communicated every cue perfectly, and somehow made everything happen down to the second. It was exactly as I envisioned it. The entire evening, she was always within eyesight. Every time I looked around, she was there making sure everything was running smoothly, coordinating vendors, keeping everyone on schedule, and putting out fires that I didn’t even know existed. Because of her, I was able to be fully present and enjoy every moment of my wedding day. That’s what makes Marissa special. She memorizes your vision. She knows where every detail belongs. She anticipates problems before they happen. She makes an incredibly difficult job look effortless. For the past year, she has shown me nothing but kindness, grace, professionalism, dependability, and genuine care. She loves what she does, and it shows in every interaction. And brides, let’s talk about pricing for a second. It is so easy to assume that the most expensive coordinator must be the best. I can confidently tell you that is not true. Marissa delivers a level of service that far exceeds her pricing. The value she provides is honestly unmatched. I will forever be grateful that she was part of our wedding day. If you’re lucky enough to have Honey Hollow Events available for your date, book her immediately. She will make your wedding better. Period.

Corinne’s title may be wedding planner, but in another life, she is so much more. She’s a soundboard for ideas, both good and bad.

Her design work and vendor recommendations were absolutely perfect and our guests had so so so many positive things to say about the ceremony and reception.

Rating: 5.0 (26 reviews)
·Ratings include Zola and Google reviews
  • Offers 7 services
  • Starts at $500
  • Serves Stanford, IL for additional fees

House of Elleon is a luxury white-glove wedding and event planning & design studio founded by Noelle Cappuzzo, specializing in refined, editorial celebrations with an emotional core. Each event is a carefully curated experience where the client’s vision is executed with precision, elevated through thoughtful design, and brought to life with seamless flow. With a focus on enhancing the overall experience—not just the aesthetic—Noelle blends creative direction with logistical mastery so every moment feels effortless, intentional, and distinctly personal. Events are expertly produced, emotionally resonant, and elevated from start to finish.

I genuinely do not even know where to begin when it comes to Noelle because there are not enough words to explain how incredible she is. From the VERY beginning of my wedding planning process over a year ago, she handled absolutely everything and more. Any thought, question, idea, concern, crash out, or micromanaging moment I had (and trust me… there were MANY), I could text or call her at literally any time, and she was always there. Not once did she ever make me feel annoying, dramatic, or “too much.” Instead, she made me feel heard, understood, supported, and excited every single step of the way. What makes Noelle so special is that she doesn’t just “plan weddings.” She genuinely takes your vision and transforms it into something bigger and more beautiful than you could have even imagined for yourself. The ideas I had in my head for my wedding somehow came to life TIMES TEN. Every tiny detail was perfected. She thought of things before I even had to ask. She guided me through every decision while still making me feel like the wedding truly reflected me and my husband. And the professionalism? Insane. The organization? Insane. The patience? Saint level. She worked with my budget and constantly gave me options to still achieve the luxury, elegant look I wanted without making me feel pressured to spend beyond my means. She found almost all of my vendors, and every single one of them was phenomenal. The amount of compliments I still receive from guests weeks and months later about how beautiful, organized, and seamless my wedding was honestly speaks for itself. But what REALLY blew me away was wedding day itself. When I tell you I did not have a single worry in the world, I mean it. Noelle and her team handled EVERYTHING. She was genuinely a rockstar from beginning to end. At one point she literally did my late night McDonald’s run herself while her assistants stayed behind making sure me, my bridal party, and my family had everything we needed. Who does that?! That level of care is so rare. She treated my wedding like it was just as important to her as it was to me. Not only did she become my wedding planner, but over this past year she truly became someone so special to me and my family. My family and friends could not stop complimenting her professionalism, kindness, work ethic, and calming presence. I literally had my mom’s friends texting me asking for her information because they were so blown away by her. Noelle made wedding planning FUN. She made it exciting instead of stressful. Honestly, she makes me want to plan another wedding tomorrow just to work with her again. I’m truly going to miss our hours-long meetings spent perfecting every little detail because it all paid off in the most unbelievable way. I can confidently say my wedding would NOT have been what it was without her. She gave me the wedding of my dreams and more, and I will forever be grateful that I trusted her to guide me through one of the biggest moments of my life. I truly believe one day I’ll see her planning celebrity weddings because her talent is genuinely on that level. Thank you for everything, Noelle. I would choose you over and over and over again.

My husband, Zach, and I got married on May 25, 2025 and working with Hannah was seriously one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. I feel like many vendors default to only addressing the bride, but Hannah made sure that we both felt included from our very first meeting, to all of the email exchanges, and to finally our wedding day! I was definitely a type A bride, but Hannah welcomed all of my planning energy and gave us access to a bunch of resources to help in the process including her wedding planning guide, a design template for a wedding binder, and access to her event diagraming software. On our wedding day, Hannah set-up everything to perfection, she keep things moving seamlessly, and she made tear-down a breeze. I don’t even know what fires she had to put out during the day and that’s EXACTLY THE POINT! When I think back on the day, I can’t even remember a single thing that “went wrong,” and that’s a huge testament to everything Hannah did behind the scenes so we could both relax and fully enjoy the day with all of our family and friends. If you’re looking for the perfect day-of-coordinator, Hannah’s THE it girl.

Isabel and her team were amazing, they truly made the planning experience and wedding day so much more enjoyable and smooth. She just GETS IT, she understood our vision and was great at making suggestions and problem solving. She also has great stock of items to rent so we weren’t stuck with a ton of things to sell or keep after. Would absolutely recommend and thank you so much Isabel!!

Born and raised in the vibrant city of Chicago, I come from a big, lively, and wonderfully loud Middle Eastern family, my heart has always been set on bringing people together and celebrating love in all its forms. What better way to do that than planning fabulous + unforgettable weddings, birthdays, showers, + more! My friends often turn to me for organizing their events, our travel adventures, & booking our excursions, which sparked the idea: why not make this my career? With over 5 years of professional event planning experience under my belt, I’ve absolutely fallen in love with crafting every little detail to ensure your day is perfect!

10/10 wedding day thanks to Jen and her team!!! Jen went ABOVE and beyond to help me on our wedding day when weather didn’t go as planned, running to her car to get me a curler, working with vendors to change plans, and helped to completely turn it around into the best day ever! Throughout the planning process she consistently impressed us with all the details she remembered from our meetings and was able to take care of everything so that I didn’t have to contact a single vendor all weekend bc Jen had it all handled and I could spend time with my friends and family. Highly highly recommend her!

I’m Mallory Ramirez, owner and lead planner of Mallory Joy Events. My background is in logistics—I spent over a decade building systems, managing details, and thinking three steps ahead. With a background that blends logistics, bridal styling, and event management, I bring both creative vision and practical organization to the planning process. That’s how Mallory Joy Wedding Events was built—not just from experience, but from intention.

Mallory and her team were a pleasure to work with. They were prompt to communicate with. They came in on time, set up the arch, made sure it was clean and free of debris. It was the perfect photo backdrop for our bridal shower event. I would highly recommend for an event! Saved me time finding and setting up something unique.
