The Best Wedding Planners in Chicago, IL

“Amorella Events was nothing short of a godsend for us. Words cannot fully capture the depth of our gratitude and admiration for Jennifer, Katherine, and the entire Amorella team. Their dedication knows no bounds - they will do absolutely anything for the people they work with, bringing to every task a level of care, professionalism, and enthusiasm that is truly rare. What began as a simple relationship between a wedding coordinator and a client evolved into a genuine friendship. From the earliest stages of planning, Jennifer and Katherine provided an extraordinary level of service and support. Months before the wedding, they familiarized themselves with every detail - reviewing vendor contracts line by line, communicating proactively with vendors and the venue, and preparing an array of essential materials: detailed itineraries, comprehensive to-do lists, and precise day-of schedules. Their meticulous approach ensured that every aspect of the event ran seamlessly. In fact, their attention to detail saved us from several near disasters- one example being the “dance floor” included in the design company’s invoice was only the vinyl covering, not the dance floor itself. This was only to be found in the fine print. The scope and quality of their work are remarkable, but what truly sets Amorella apart is that they don’t simply offer a service, they create an experience. From day one, that experience is defined by thoughtfulness, grace, and a sense of genuine care. The Amorella team treats you like family- not just the bride and groom, but every guest. At one point during our reception, one of our guests began feeling unwell. Jennifer not only offered immediate help but followed up three separate times throughout the evening to ensure she was comfortable. That level of compassion and attentiveness is extraordinary and deeply meaningful. Jennifer and Katherine are, above all, honest, kind, and exceptional individuals who strive to lift the weight of wedding planning from your shoulders so that you can actually enjoy the process. They provide candid, constructive feedback, always act in your best interest, and remain your steadfast advocates- even in moments when you might not be the easiest to please. And importantly, they embody true class. Their elegance, poise, and taste elevate every event they touch and we had countless compliments by our guests on their level of professionalism. A quick glance at Amorella’s Instagram page offers a glimpse of their impeccable style, but it’s their creativity, and refinement that make their work truly unforgettable. We cannot say enough about this incredible team. Jennifer, Katherine, and the entire Amorella family brought our wedding to life in ways we never imagined possible. While we had expected that some sort of “disaster” would inevitably occur on our big day, they ensured that not even the smallest mishap could take place. If you have the chance to work with Amorella Events, take it, I promise it will be the single best decision you make in planning your wedding.”

“Planning my daughter's quinceañera was a journey I was taking on alone as a single mom with a stressful job, and the pressure was immense. But hiring Sonia as our event planner changed everything. More than just a coordinator, she became our guide, our anchor, and our calm in the storm. Right from the start, she took a comprehensive, step-by-step approach, turning a mountain of tasks into a clear, manageable path. What truly set Sonia apart was her compassion throughout the entire process. She constantly reminded me that this process was an opportunity to connect with my daughter, urging me to enjoy the small, special moments instead of just managing the to-do list. When inevitable bumps arose, Sonia was a beacon of reassurance, offering quick solutions and calm comfort. She had an incredible eye for details I would have missed, and her expertise saved us more times than I can count. Looking back at the beautiful, successful event, I know with absolute certainty that it would not have been possible without Sonia. For her incredible support and unwavering grace, I will be forever grateful.”

We had to bring in a ton of different vendors, change locations twice, and deal with very unpredictable weather. Emily was a total star – from the first planning call to hugging her goodbye at the end of the after party. Cannot recommend her highly enough!”

“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. I cannot recommend Destify highly enough - they played a big role in making our special day so wonderful and stress-free.”

“We worked with Olivia as our wedding coordinator on November 1, 2025 and honestly cannot say enough good things about working with her. To start, she is so easy to work with, organized, has incredible attention to detail and truly thinks of everything! From the first time we met with Olivia she was on top of everything. She manages every detail and made sure we stayed on task during the weeks leading up to our wedding in such a transparent, clear way that made the final months/weeks so much less stressful than they could have been. Olivia is so knowledgeable and provided excellent vendor recommendations, guidance, and advice throughout the planning process, which we really appreciated. Olivia is communicative and proactive- which made a world of difference when working with so many people. Literally every one of our vendors complimented and commented on how on top of everything Olivia was and really seemed happy to be working with her. It was so encouraging to go into all of our final vendor meetings with everyone on the same page. Olivia took the time to listen, ask questions, and throughly understand what was important to us, so it was such a relief knowing that we were in such great hands on our wedding day. It was such a perfect day and so much of that is because of Olivia and her team handling every detail, troubleshooting any little hiccup seamlessly, and ensuring we could be present in enjoying every moment of our day. Olivia and her team were not only attentive to us but also to our loved ones which was so kind. Lastly I’ll say that as a bride, it’s a long day full of people and moving parts, so I truly felt so lucky that Olivia was there bringing such a calm, genuine, kind energy- it really made our day even better than I could have expected! We would absolutely recommend Olivia and her team!”

“After Spencer and I got engaged, we quickly realized that we needed someone to help us stay organized and on top of all of our deadlines. We hired Bristol as our partial planner and day-of coordinator, and it was easily the best decision we made throughout the planning process!! Our monthly planning calls with Bristol were crucial to helping us stay on top of all of the details, and she provided a ton of extremely helpful planning spreadsheets that made everything very straightforward. We always knew what we had left to do and what was next on the agenda. She also took a lot of time to understand our vision for the wedding day, and virtually all of the vendors we ended up hiring came at her recommendation. It was also really important to us that our wedding create as little waste as possible, and all of the vendors she sent our way helped us towards that goal. One of the things we appreciated the most was her assistance in finalizing details with our vendors. A lot of questions came up in those final calls that we hadn’t thought about or were not prepared to answer, and Bristol helped us make the right decisions every time. Bristol was incredibly warm and supportive throughout the entire process. Her genuine care for us and our wedding made us feel like we were in very capable and trusted hands. We’ve received so many compliments from our wedding party and families about how effortlessly she managed the wedding day and the events leading up to it, as well as her thorough communication to everyone involved in the ceremony. The week leading up to the wedding was entirely stress-free for us because Bristol made sure that all of our boxes were checked well in advance of the wedding. Hiring Bristol and her team is the best decision you could make for your wedding day, and we will be recommending her to all of our friends getting married in the future!! Thank you again for making our wedding day so special! Katie & Spencer”

“Alexa is a true professional with her work and I knew from the moment we spoke to her that she was the one we wanted to work with. We interviewed several planners that did not come close to Alexa’s level of expertise and ability to make you feel calm and in good hands. If I was able to re-do my wedding again, I may change a few vendors, but Alexa is someone we would lock down over and over again! Hands down the best decision we made! Alexa is reliable, professional, friendly, and most importantly organized! We immediately had a guide on where to start and where we should be with our process each month. Alexa was available to us for any questions or doubts we might have, and made the most stressful months leading up to our wedding stress free. She always asked questions we didn’t think to ask. She took the lead with our vendors and ensuring we never missed a step, but most importantly Alexa was always positive, kind, and composed during every meeting we had. She made me feel at ease and relaxed, which says a lot when someone is planning a wedding. The day of our wedding we always knew what was going to happen next and even when something unexpected would come up, Alexa was quick to resolve it. Not only did my husband and I feel thankful for hiring Monarch, but my family was also left impressed and thankful for Alexa. Hiring a wedding planner is the best decision you can make, but if you hire Monarch, they will make it possible for you to be stress free leading up to your wedding and allow you to focus on being present in the moment. Thank you Alexa and Monarch!! You made the impossible possible and allowed us to enjoy our wedding stress free!”

HBIC Weddings

5.0

“HBIC Weddings is on a different level!  Diane is truly like no other planner. I met with many other planners who all gave me the same cookie-cutter pitch and answers. She is very realistic and straightforward when it comes to what you actually will get on your wedding day versus the Pinterest photos you see of super expensive weddings. She is also an expert at knowing what to spend money on and what you can skip for the best guest experience. This is super important if you don’t know the wedding industry. More importantly, I went with HBIC because Diane is authentic, unhinged, hilarious, and honest. I don’t know the first thing about weddings. I didn’t know what I wanted, who to contact, or what I needed—and I only had 8 months to do it. Enter Diane, my holy grail wedding planner who made it all happen. I showed her some inspiration pictures and she helped me create a more thorough idea of what I wanted for my wedding. Next thing you know, she’s matching me with photographers, DJs, florists, makeup artists—basically everyone I needed— and we’re in non stop “vendorpalooza” as she calls it. Needless to say, we had every single vendor booked and secured in under 2 months.  On my wedding day, I did not use a single brain cell. She had a whole team with her that managed me, my wedding party, my family, and all the guests. Not to mention, she has great relationships with all her vendors so she also made sure they knew where they had to be, when they had to be there, and exactly what to do. One of her team members was always escorting me to where I had to be and keeping track of the time and schedule for me. I was so busy and worried about my family not sticking to the itinerary, but Diane’s team successfully managed everyone in the ceremony including my old Chinese grandparents that don’t speak English. Very strongly recommend planning your celebration with HBIC! We worked with Diane for several months preceding our wedding. She guided us through vendors, contract filling, and every fine detail that we would have overlooked if we were on our own. Their excellence was truly showcased day-of: Diane and her staff compiled an hour-to-hour (sometimes minute to minute) itinerary for our wedding day, directed the cast of characters smoothly and gracefully; nothing fell behind schedule and they had every little detail in mind. They weren’t pushy either - they kept everything to schedule without being commandeering, and had a subtle hand. J and Allen were both stellar throughout the night, like dutiful spriteful seamsters stitching up any small snag along the way without the tear ever being noticed (J immediately noticed when Aiden’s bustle came undone on the dance floor, beckoned Aiden to a side room, and refastened in less than a minute). They were there from before the beginning to the end, our amazing night would have been all the lesser without their help! Go with HBIC!!”

Here It Blooms

“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.”

If you’re anything like me, you’ll be a nervous wreck on your wedding day. Leading up to our big day I was cool as a cucumber so I truly didn’t think I would be, but the anticipation had my anxiety at an all time high. Lisa gracefully reassured me every step of the way. She will do it all for you. She will ensure that every last, tiny detail is perfect. But perhaps even more importantly, she has the warmth of an old friend. I can’t recommend Bisoux Event Co. enough. She made our wedding day incredibly special and for that, I’m so grateful.”

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.

“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!”

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 cannot say enough great things about Michelle and her team at Bustle and Lace! Our wedding at The Fairlie in Chicago was an absolute dream—and it all ran flawlessly, thanks to her incredible work. From the very beginning, Michelle was a true professional and a calming presence. She maintained consistent and clear communication throughout the planning process and scheduled regular meetings to keep us on track with important milestones. She took charge of organizing with our many vendors—often without needing our involvement, which was a huge relief as the day approached. Michelle is incredibly well-established in the Chicagoland wedding scene and has clearly built strong relationships with many of the most popular local vendors—photographers, bands, DJs, caterers, florists, venues—you name it. That familiarity made coordination seamless and stress-free, and it was clear she had worked with many of our vendors before, which gave us even more peace of mind. She created a detailed, thoughtful timeline that covered everything from the bridal party’s hair and makeup arrival to the band’s final song and the venue teardown. Thanks to her preparation and the hard work of her team, everything went according to schedule without a single hiccup. On the wedding day itself, we were able to be fully present, knowing we were in the best hands. We didn’t have to worry about a thing and could simply enjoy every moment with our family and friends. We’re so grateful to Michelle and Bustle and Lace for making our wedding day stress-free and unforgettable. If you're considering a wedding coordinator, look no further—you’ll be so glad you booked her!”

From the very beginning, their communication style was incredibly client-centered and flexible - she was always quick to respond to our questions and happy to adjust her plans to fit our vision. Kylie truly went above and beyond to make sure our special day was perfect, handling so many behind-the-scenes details that we didn't even know about. Everything flowed seamlessly from start to finish, and we were blown away by how Kylie was able to bring our wedding dreams to life. We couldn't recommend Kylie Coordinates more highly!”

I started coordinating/event planning in 2017 by creating, managing, and executing my own nurses brunch which started as a 12 person event and now has grown to hosting over 150 attendees annually. Over the last 3 years I've had the pleasure to plan, coordinate, and execute multiple weddings. What started as a personal hobby has transitioned into a business, and it has been a pleasure to be able to serve couples on their big day. My flat rate fee of $900 bundles all the needs of the couple from start to finish.

“Alicia and Deric met and exceeded any and all of our expectations in relation to our wedding day. We had a bit of a unique circumstance and ended up hiring the duo about two months before our wedding. We previously had a very poor experience with another wedding planner whom we had to terminate our contract with. Alicia handled our day-of coordination with ease and professionalism. We had about one call per week starting 7 weeks before our wedding and Alicia handled every last detail that I would have forgotten about. The day of the wedding, Alicia was present with me (bride) throughout the morning and made sure everything was on schedule and in order. She managed and communicated with our vendors to ensure everything ran smoothly. She had previously made a very detailed Day-Of Itinerary that we followed and additionally made a separate itinerary for our families to follow. Deric ensured everything at the venue was set up properly and ready for our reception to begin. Alicia and Deric continuously checked in on my husband and I, in addition to my family, which I thought was an incredibly thoughtful touch. My only regret is not hiring them sooner for full planning. Alicia and Deric, we are so grateful for your work. You made our day perfect.”

“Wedding planning is not for the faint of heart, and — aside from finding the right life partner, finding the right team to coordinate your perfect day is paramount. Amber and Events with Ambiance were the perfect partners for us, two creatives with a dynamic vision for our wedding. Working with Amber gave us the freedom to create our day on our own terms, as she guided us through the process, stepped in to pull us together when it became too overwhelming, and, ultimately, brilliantly brought our vision to life. From flawlessly coordinating our venue and vendors to managing any and all hiccups and day-of stress (and wardrobe changes!), Amber was consistently ready with a smile, calm reassurance, and an immeasurable wealth of knowledge. With the help of her and her assistant Chelsey, our day was so gorgeous, memorable and personalized that our guests are still raving!”
