Chicago Weddings and Events, LLC

We hired Julie to be our day-of coordinator, and she was so wonderful to work with! She was very patient with us throughout the wedding planning process and was very professional and personable. She regularly reviewed all of our details with us to help keep us on track and recommended other vendors to us as needed. She worked regularly with the vendors she recommended, so we felt very confident that they would make a great part of our vendor team. Julie and her assistant Melissa were with us the day of our wedding and made sure we stuck to our timeline. They made sure every detail of our day went according to plan, and we could not have asked for a better team. Having Julie and Melissa there allowed us to relax and not worry about the small details. We knew they had everything covered, and they helped make our day so special!

Julie is excellent! Our entire bridal party and family noticed and commented how good she was. She was a huge help during the rehearsal dinner organizing our rowdy bridal party and both her and Lisa were amazing on the wedding day - helping keep the day on schedule and going as far as scrubbing dirt out of my train! I will highly encourage anyone I know to hire her!

Chicago Weddings and Events was recommended to me by word of mouth and I’m so glad I went with them. I hired them for day of coordination services for my October 14 wedding. Julie is a great communicator, precise and you can tell she was passionate and loves what she does. Throughout the planning process early on, she made sure to keep in touch with me and schedule periodic calls. As the wedding drew closer, I know she was always two steps ahead of me and planned accordingly with other vendors. On the day of, Julie and her business partner Lisa went above and beyond for me and I am forever grateful for that. For example, I gave Julie the vendor tip envelopes at the rehearsal dinner and realized I forgot to set aside the hair and make up to give the morning of. Julie was already aware of this and already went ahead and Venmo’d hair and make up on my behalf! Just a small example of organized she is. I would recommended Chicago Weddings and Events LLC for your big day, I am forever grateful to them!

Julie is the wedding fairy godmother you've been looking for! My family and I feel so fortunate to have had Julie with us through the whole process of planning our wedding. She is so warm and joyful which kept everyone at ease and in a celebratory mood. More importantly she a kick-butt professional. She remained cool, calm, and collected during those wedding emergencies. While the rest of us planning spiraled, Julie remained our rock. Our planning process had a handful of sticky moments with some vendors, and a few pretty rough moments. Julie gladly took them on head first. She spearheaded and maintained communication with the vendor. She always advocated for us and our wishes first and never shied away from tense conversations. She always proposed productive solutions to any problem, and eventually ended up managing the vendor's team providing them with consistant to-do lists to keep them focused. Bonus is she always has the bride's best interest at heart and I felt I could go to her with any concerns no matter how small. She always put me at ease and worked so patiently with my mom to make sure she was satisfied as well! The added value of having Julie on your planning team is her unfalterring support, warmth, and love for this job. It was a gift to have her next to me all day! I truly couldn't have done this without Julie's help and support. We love you Julie!
