Madison Elyse Events

Qiana is the absolute best! So glad we had her to help us with our special day.

Qiana is the BEST! We met Qiana 6 months before our wedding day. To put it nicely, we were a little behind on our planning. There was no need to worry though, Qiana got us back on track in matter of weeks! She coordinated all of our meetings with vendors and provided so many suggestions that we never would have considered without her. Qiana is extremely well connected and we loved all of the vendors that she recommended to us. When we finally made it to our wedding day, Qiana’s planning showed up in a big way. We were stress free as Qiana coordinated everything in the background allowing us to focus on each other! All of our guests had a blast and hardly noticed we had a coordinator because Qiana worked so diligently off to the side, never drawing attention to herself. I think this review clearly states that Qiana is a terrific Wedding Coordinator, but that’s not all! Qiana is a also incredibly friendly and personable. We were at ease the moment we met her and always enjoyed our time together. There is no doubt that our wedding day was better with Qiana leading the way! Hopefully, you consider Qiana for your special day too! Thank you Qiana for all of your hard work. We wish you the best in all future wedding seasons! With love, Connor and Casey

Qiana was simply the best wedding planner we could have hoped for. In these crazy Covid times, we had to push our wedding date twice and not only was she there with us from the first day to the day of, but she did it with a big smile on her face, professionalism and was an incredible support for us. Thank you Qiana!

When we first started planning our wedding, we were referred to Qiana to help plan our wedding. We were told that she would be the most important part of our wedding. Well, Tawanda Sims, you were exactly, 100 percent, without a doubt, absolutely right. From the beginning, Qiana was on top of her game. Covid had just started locking things down. She set up zoom meetings with us weekly, set up zoom meetings with venders, text us, called us, emailed us and was always available to answer our questions and concerns. It was amazing that she always included me, the groom, in everything. I wanted to be a part of our magical journey to our wedding day and Qiana made that happen. The amount of time and energy Qiana puts into her business and the relationship with her clients is phenomenal. She stuck to our budget and helped us select THE BEST venders in Chicagoland for our wedding. Her relationships with the venders made it so easy for us. We trusted everything she suggested to us. Qiana started out as just our wedding planner. But as time went on, we realized how special she is and what a beautiful heart she has. Qiana has become a member of our family. We can't wait to spend more time with her now that our wedding is done. We love her so much. So, please, hire Qiana to be your wedding planner. You will get someone who is passionate, dedicated, professional, warm hearted and tremendously affordable. She is the best you will find, Guaranteed!!!

When my now husband and I first met with Qiana Turner of Madison Elise events the world was just locked down. We had already booked a venue because we knew wedding season was upon us. That's all we had done. Qiana was referred to us by Tawanda Sims of Elite Events in Ft Lauderdale. Our initial meeting with Qiana was through Zoom. She has a very kind spirit and bubbly personality. She asked what was our vision and she made it happen. Qiana did all of the research of each vendor making sure they were the right fit for us. If we did not have Qiana I know for sure we would have eloped. She kept us(me) from being stressed. She is very organized and meticulous. She kept a schedule of all of our payments and meetings. If time went by and we hadn't spoken to each other she'd call, text, zoom or email to make sure we were doing well. The weekend of the wedding I was so nervous that my vision would not be how I saw it in my head. Qiana told me to relax and not to worry. The day of the wedding she was in work mode. EVERYTHING went off without a hitch. The wedding was on time. And the reception was AMAZING!!! Our first look of our space took my breath away! It was everything I wanted and more. Madison Elise Events is one of the top event planners in the Chicago area. If you are in search of an event planner or just thinking about getting one, just call Qiana Turner of Madison Elise Events. She will save your sanity and make sure you have the day of your dreams. In fact, I think she's worth so much more than she charges. Booked her! You will be happy you did. Im so happy to say that Qiana is more like family to us now . We love her so much.

Madison Elyse Events! What words can I use to describe my experience? Let’s start with: Organized! Punctual! Knowledgeable! Great Interpersonal skills! Very Patient! Keen Attention to Detail! Resourceful! Great Sense of Humor! Kindhearted! Just to name a few! LOL Actually, words cannot express my gratitude for Madison Elyse Events and her team. My wedding was like something out of a magazine! It was the PERFECT wedding and it's all because of MEE. I came to Qiana with all my wishes and dreams for my wedding that I held close to my heart for many years. It was no short measure to pull off my vision--with my budget, but she worked her magic and brought it to life. Qiana is a top-notch planner, and I am incredibly lucky to have had her in my corner. She always made me feel as though she had everything 100% under control and she did. She respected my input and added her special designer eye to my ideas (thank God). There was a slight hiccup on my wedding day. My outside ceremony was derailed due to rain. MEE catapulted into action with our Plan B--moving guest inside and arranging everything to perfection. I barely noticed anything and the day of the wedding ran so smoothly. Guest are still talking about it to this day! So, if you have been searching high and low for the perfect planner. Trust me. Your search is over.

As professional wedding photographer, I work with many vendors but Madison Elyse Event stood out among the rest! We recently work together and they were Professional, Detailed Oriented, Organized but most importantly put the bride and groom first! I loved how Qiana cared so much for their clients and wanted them to have the best day possible! I highly recommend them! Let them take care of all the wedding details while you enjoy your big day with family and friends!

This was my first opportunity to work with Qiana. I've worked as a wedding officiant for over 13 years and I've married over 200 couples. As they say, all wedding planners are not created equal. When it works well, the wedding planner and the officiant can form a dynamic partnership - all in service to the bride and groom. That's what it was like working with Qiana and her team. She was always ready with the answer or a solution without drama, with grace and authority. It was a seamless transition from the pre-ceremony planning (weeks before) and the wedding day. I highly recommend Madison Elyse Events! Cheers, Qiana!

Madison Elyse Events is a perfect option for your wedding! As the groom, Madison Elyse made me feel comfortable that my wife had all options available to her and that alone for me was encouraging. What really makes me recommend this vendor the most is that their business relations to other reputable vendors is beneficial! Especially when you have a front and backyard wedding like ours and need a highly specialized cake! Madison Elyse is very open, honest, and fun, making the process really feel easy AND things were organized. Our wedding day went by without a hitch and at the end of the day this company feels like family to me. Not only for their quality of work but the general atmosphere when we were collaborating was different from what I expected and in a good way!!

Madison Elyse Events is fabulous at what they do. There is no other way to say it. We hired Qiana to be our day of coordinator. Even in the months leading up to the wedding she was there every step of the way, ensuring that our wedding was executed flawlessly. She helped us clear a huge hurdle with one of our vendors and met with us regularly to discuss wedding details. The day of the wedding she was calm, and collected; flawlessly directing and instructing vendors as well as the wedding party. The wedding was beautiful and I did not have to stress as the bride. If you want a stress free day, do yourself a favor and hire Madison Elyse Events.

Qiana Turner is an event coordinator extraordinaire! She found and coordinated all the vendors for us. Kept records of payments and balances. She worked so hard to make sure no stone was unturned. She went above and beyond to make sure our event was magical!!!! If you want the event of your dreams hire Madison Elyse Events- Qiana Turner!

I was the emcee / entertainment coordinator for my parent’s 40th anniversary and Qiana went ABOVE and BEYOND to make their night very special. On a more concrete level, as an emcee, one thing that always helps the night run smoothly is working with a coordinator who knows how to keep things ON SCHEDULE, and even if event times get off the grid they are still able to adjust and excuse as need be—Qiana was a MASTER at achieving this and communicated with ease. This was impressive! All in all, I love her spirit, professionalism, and easy-going yet assertive nature. Highly recommend her!

From the very first time meeting Qiana, she was the absolute best with communication. We just completed my wedding 6/27/21, and I have been working with her since day 1. She was there for me through phone, text, and email literally 7 days a week. I loved that she I would give her professional opinion when need be, but would leave all of the decision making to the client. I’ve taken a lot of her advice, just because this was all new to me, and she has many years of experience in the industry. Her advice was the absolute best. Each vendor that we have worked with was amazing, and they all said that Madison Elyse Events did a great job with the timeline, and keeping them up-to-date. Some vendors I didn’t even speak to, only for payment. I can’t thank this company and their team enough for the beautiful memories of our wedding, and also a stress-free day. Highly recommend!

If you are looking for the top of the line wedding planner, Qiana at Madison Elyse Events is the girl you want. Qiana listened to all my suggestions and ideas and made sure she had incorporated them in anything she suggested. She had nothing but high quality recommendations and each suggestion was affordable. She loves what she does and she does not short stop in any way. She made me and my day feel extra special and I am so happy I chose her! #happybride #myweddingplanneristhe best #MEEbride

My sister was determined to do her wedding all alone and once things got closer to the date she told me she needed some help. All I can say is WOW! Qianna helped my sister bring her vision to vivid life! Qianna was so warm and sweet! It felt like we were working with family! Thank you so much for being exactly what Erica needed to bring everything together.

We worked with Madison Elyse Events and Qiana for my cousin's wedding in late September. She was very informative and answered all questions and concerns. The wedding was beautiful . I would recommend them for any occasion.

I had the pleasure of working with Quiana as the Matron of Honor in my cousin’s wedding. The days leading up to the wedding and the actual wedding day were all flawless. Quiana addressed all questions and concerns for the bride, family and guest. Everyone had a great experience. Thank you for making a memorable experience greater!!

Qiana did an excellent job with my sister’s wedding! Everything was excellent and in order...she was very polite and knowledgeable and didn’t hesitate to make sure everything went well for us! I would definitely recommend her for any event as she is very professional!

I got to work with Qiana for the first time this year. As a wedding officiant I value event planners for their timeline schedule and direction not only for the vendors but the entire wedding party. Qiana was the director of this wedding event. She is a highly skilled communicator, efficient, organized and fun. The event was completed without a hitch, at least from my point of view. If there was any hiccups myself and the guests never saw it. It would be a great pleasure to work with her again. I highly recommended Qiana for your event planning needs.

The wedding day was perfection. I had it in my mind that I would have to come to the rescue for some reason or another, as the maid of honor. But the big day went perfect. If there were hiccups, I wasn’t aware. Everything went so smoothly and effortlessly. Wonderful job!!

One of the best decisions made during my wedding planning process! After attempting to plan everything on my own I became overwhelmed and frustrated but Madison Elyse planning was just what I needed, my only regret is not being able to work with Qiana longer. Thank you so much for your time and dedication and for helping to bring my vision to life!

Madison Elyse did an awesome job with my daughters wedding. She was professional and thought of everything. We could not have been happier. We would recommend her highly

I can not say enough about Qiana and Madison Elyse Events!!! We knew from the first 10 min of meeting that she was the person for the job. She is so professional and organized. She handled issues with grace but was firm when had to be. She was always on time or early. Being prepared for ANY issue that arised was her specialty. We would NOT have made it without her. It was beyond the best money we have ever spent. We would have easily paid double that for the services we received. We definitely recommend her and her skills for any event. She took all the stress off of us, so we were able to just relax and enjoy the wedding planning process and our wedding day. She handled everything from talking with and paying vendors, to packing our stuff up at the end of the reception. She even handled an issue after the wedding for us! If you are questioning whether you truly need a coordinator, let me answer for you....YOU DO! You won’t believe how much stress and money she will save you in the long run. We consider her family now and will never forget the incredible experience we had with her and Madison Elyse Events.

Madison Elyse Events is precise and meticulous when it comes to pulling an event together. I was lucky to attend an wedding and it was GORGEOUS! I recommend anyone to check out the work of this company and start preparing to have your next event with Madison Elyse Events!!!!

Madison Elyse Events is certainly worth the investment. I attended my friend’s wedding in September of 2017 and because of MEE my friend was ultimately able to relax and enjoy her wedding day. Qiana and her team did such an amazing job of brining my friend’s vision for her wedding day to life. Every detail from the venue to the decor was accounted for and Qiana’s attention to detail is nothing like I have ever seen. She added so many unique touches that not only made the day special but also made it unforgettable.

Madison Elyse Events was definitely the backbone of my wedding day! Very punctual and professional, everything down to the last detail was taken care of and I didn't have to worry about a thing. What I liked most was the care and attention that was put into making my day as important to my coordinator as it was to me. I would definitely use Madison Elyse Events for any future event planning!
