Finding Gina was one of the best decisions of my life, other than choosing my partner, of course! She was extremely kind, professional, patient, and helped with every step of the nine-month planning process down to the last font selections. We would have been lost without her. Thanks to her love and passion for this industry, our day was absolutely magical. She listened to my vision and perfectly executed my ideas into reality. We still have guests saying that our big day was the most epic wedding they have ever been to. I will miss our weekly calls but know that she will always have a special place in our hearts, rain or shine :)

I had an amazing experience with Gina & team. They stepped in one month out from my wedding and created a detailed timeline, confirmed with all my vendors on load in details, set up decor perfectly and were really the hub of the day. Gina was also readily available for me throughout the days/weeks leading up to the big day and on the big day itself! Highly recommend them to make your day seamless and stress free!!

Gina and her whole staff were so amazing!!! I choose the day of coordination service. With all the craziness that happened that day, her team was able to pivot every move. They always made sure to check up on me that I felt like I had luxury service. The guest even commented how perfect the wedding was. Because how easy she made that day for me I wish I could go back and pay for the full service. She is truly experienced in her craft.
Any questions?

Gina was an absolute dream to work with! My husband and I utilized her day of/moth of service and she was incredibly helpful in all of the last minute planning and preparation up to the big day. On our wedding day, it was a blessing to not have to worry about a thing, as we knew Gina had it all handled. She brought our vision for our venue/decor to life in the most amazing way, and if we had any request or need during the day, she got it taken care of right away. We could not have done it without her, and I could not recommend her more!

Gina, was an absolute angel and pleasure to work with. She made the weeks leading up the wedding so much more manageable and kept me sane. I didn't realize how much I needed a coordinator until she came into my life. She answered emails on my behalf, reached out to all the vendors to confirm, and created a timeline all without me asking. She truly knew what I needed before I did. Day of the wedding could not have been smoother just having a peace of mind that Gina had it under control. It kept me engaged, stress free (as possible), and able to live in the moment, as well as my mother. I would recommend her to anyone getting married, you will be SO grateful you had her.

Gina & her team were great with coordinating the wedding from contacting vendors to ensuring everything runs smoothly the day of! I cannot thank you enough 🙏

There aren’t enough words to express just how thankful we are for Gina.
Well beyond managing the details of the day, keeping the timeline, and facilitating vendor communication and organization leading up to our wedding- as a bride, I felt a sense of security knowing that Gina had our backs throughout the day. We planned and payed for our whole wedding ourselves and with Gina’s help as our day of coordinator, our day was better than we ever could have imagined. Everything that Gina and her associate did to set up was absolutely stunning and she thought of everything. She was so calm and collected and that was priceless, as it helped keep me grounded. She was detailed oriented and made sure everything was set up to our liking.
My husband and I both haven’t stopped telling each other that hiring Gina was the best decision we made in planning since the day we first spoke to her.
We felt an immense weight lifted off our shoulders since the day we hired her and the impact she had on our big day was massive. Would highly highly recommend!

Hire Gina! Since day one she was very attentive and ready to hear all about our wedding details and share what she could take off our plates. We had zero experience in planning a wedding and we cobbled together ideas from various social media sources. Gina was able to help us navigate what was still needed and what mattered. We hired her as a month of coordinator and she was amazing. She took off the stress of paying our vendors for us, you'd think getting in touch with people to get paid would be easy but it does take multiple phone calls at times of peak wedding season. I was very much a DIY bride but she was able to take what I had created and make sure it was set beautifully the day of the wedding. She and her assistant made sure we all kept to our timeline and everything ran smoothly. Our guests raved about the wedding and it is due in part to Gina's magic touch. Gina and her team had packed our wedding items and leftover DIY items so the next day it was an easy pickup for us to load into the car. I cannot imagine what the day would have been like without her. With her help, my husband and I were able to enjoy the day and breathe. No emergency questions or frantic vendors came my way, Gina handled everything. 1000% would recommend her for your wedding needs.

We hired Gina for month of coordination services, and she was so fantastic. If I had to give any future bride advice - invest the money to hire a great coordinator. Our guests raved how organized the evening was, Gina played an instrumental role in connecting with our vendors, creating comprehensive day of schedules, and finding solutions whenever we ran into challenges. Gina is also extremely kind, and we found her very easy to work with :)

Very professional! Walked us through everything one step at a time! Treated us like family and had a very warm feel. Thanks for helping us on our special day! A++
8/04/2018 • Maggie N
At first, I was not sure how useful this service was going to be. We had some email issues at the beginning but once we met our day of coordintor, Christina, everything changed. She was a life saver. She kept everyone calm and got us where we needed to go when we needed to be there. The day would not have gone as awesome as it did without her. Highly recommend!
7/27/2018 • Kelly K
We were so happy with Christina from One Fine Day! She is amazing! So sweet, organized and just on top of everything. We used her for “day of” and I can’t believe how much help we got with that plan! Christina made a time-line for the day, contacted all our vendors, helped with all the details and brought things to the hotel to set them up. She took away all of my stress! She dealt with an unpleasant vendor and I didn’t even have to talk with that person the day of. I honestly feel like I don’t know what I would have done without her help! I can’t recommend her highly enough!! Thank you Christina!!
10/18/2017 • Sara K
We were so happy working with One Fine Day, both with Gina initially and with Christina as our day-of-coordinator. They were both friendly, efficient, and experienced. Christina made sure to review the plan in detail, and pay attention to the "little details" that would make my day a success. Christina was awesome at keeping the day moving and managing not only vendors but also family members through the different parts of the day. She was super responsive and made me feel confident and excited for my day! Also, it was great to only mention something once and then know that it was going to be done and that I didn't have to think about something anymore. I'd definitely recommend One Fine Day and Christina for wedding coordination, really an excellent experience working with them.
9/04/2017 • Michelle M
I can not express how happy I was with my coordinator Christina! She was there to help me every step of the way. She took off a ton of stress that I was experiencing during the last weeks before my wedding. I don't know what I would have done without her. Thank you so much for everything and making my husband and mines day beautiful!

I chose to work with Gina at One Fine Day Events because she made me feel confident that what I wanted for my wedding could be easily executed. Plus, unlike other wedding planners I had met with, she was willing to customize how she would assist me in the planning process since I knew that I only wanted help in specific ways. With my wedding day behind us, I sincerely appreciate Gina's guidance in helping me choose amazing vendors in many areas including photography, music, and floral. Since there are so many choices out there, it was important to my fiance and I that we only hired trusted vendors for our special day that someone else had worked with. While there were times that Gina and I struggled to effectively communicate because we both lead busy lives, she did go out of her way on many occasions to attend meetings with me and vendors. One day she even met with me at my house to view decor I had purchased to ensure that I was well on my way to being ready for my wedding day. Gina has wedding planning knowledge in areas that only a professional would know which ended up saving my fiance and me money. On the day of my wedding, Gina's professional ability to ensure that my wedding day timeline was just right allowed me to be a calm bride. I was also relieved that I had trusted her and her assistant to set-up my ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception spaces. Thank you for your kindness and help Gina!

Our initial meeting with Gina went very well. We were impressed with her presentation and professionalism and hired her immediately for the full package. However, I am reluctantly giving her four stars instead of five because I have to say that it was a slow start with lack of timely response and communication which did cause some initial unease. Despite that minor glitch, I have to say Gina really came through for us. She was wonderful to work with and provided us with some really awesome vendors. I couldn’t imagine doing this without her!
10/20/2016 • Shawn J
We booked One Fine Day Events, which I was not happy with the lack of unprofessional behavior, lack of communication, and a disrespectfulness which we received from the wedding planner/owner when she showed up the day of my daughters wedding with no assistant which we paid for however; she arrived with her husband stating he was her assistant who was wearing jeans!!!!! My daughters wedding was held at The Hilton Naperville with 280 guest!!! I would NEVER EVER RECOMMEND One Fine Day Events! Mrs. Jackson, Mother of the Bride

Molly was our day-of wedding planner and she was fabulous! I completely trusted her to make any last minute decisions she needed to and everything went off without a hitch! It was so helpful to have her confirm everything with the vendors so I didn't have to worry about it the week of. She was super accommodating and very helpful--so glad I chose One Fine Day for my wedding!
10/18/2016 • Marquita R
I gave her 1 Star because she has not respond to a message that I sent her about 1week ago.. I think it's unprofessional as a wedding planner.. I've given her enough time to respond and a timely matter because I'm aware that's she's busy but there's no excuse since it's been seven days..
10/18/2016 • Jessica R
We had Molly from One Fine Day Events as our wedding coordinator and wow, did we make the best decision ever! Having Molly and her team was such a weight lifted off of our shoulders. She contacted every single vendor for the day and mapped out when they would be onsite for deliveries/setup and made sure everything was running smoothly and according to schedule. She was extremely informative and kept us in the loop with the important information but we knew that a lot of the stuff she was working on was in the background, ensuring all ran smoothly without having to burden us with the details. She knew exactly what we wanted and she made sure everything went off without a hitch! She even monitored our gifts and gift card box and took all of that back up to our room before the end of the night along with other important items you don't think to monitor or keep track of like bringing up our champagne flutes/cake cutters/cake topper - all of the stuff the bride and groom don't want to have to worry about collecting at the end of the night! So many of our friends recommended getting a wedding coordinator and we could not be more happy with our decision to go with One Fine Day Events. And on top of it all, after doing a lot of research, their price point was right in line with out budget! Stellar service and a price that is on point - you can't go wrong!

Going into this entire process, we knew we needed a wedding planner that could really grasp our vision and style without us having to "hand hold" he/she through every decision. We were a long distance engaged couple, with me being in Boston, and my fiancé being in Italy and the wedding was taking place in Chicago. From the very beginning we noticed how easy Molly made communication for us and she was very considerate of our time. It never really took more than a few photos from Pinterest, or a quick text for her to grasp what we wanted, and then connect with vendors to make it all happen! If you don't want to search for vendors on your own, One Fine Day Events definitely has the connections.
Not only did Molly have the challenge of us being all over the place geographically, but we were asking her to pull this off in 7 months. She kept us on top of things as it related to our checklist and timeline, but without bombarding us, and even slowing us down to make sure we were taking our time with decisions.
When it came to my needs as the bride, I couldn't have asked for better! Molly made things effortless. From being at my final fitting because my Mom couldn't make it, to picking up my wedding dress up and bringing it to the hotel after the final fitting, to getting every gift, card back to the wedding suite after the reception, she did it all!
If you're a bride to be that wants to let someone else take care of all the little details without the stress that comes along with wedding planning, then Molly and One Fine Day Events should be your wedding planning choice!

One Fine Day Events was the best wedding planning service that i have ever seen. They helped us plan out wedding with every detail and was there to help us every step of the way through the entire process. The process also felt like One Fine Day Events was a part of our family, because of the personal touches that was put into our planning and helping us to figure out everything that we needed. I highly recommend One Fine Day Events to anyone who is getting married. THEY ARE THE BEST!!!

We would highly recommend the day-of coordinator services of One Fine Day Events. Our coordinator, Molly, was absolutely amazing. Not only did she execute everything perfectly on our wedding day, but there were many details that we didn't think of that she helped us with before the big day. Not only that, but Molly helped repair my wedding dress last minute before I walked down the aisle! I could not be more grateful for everything she did in helping make our wedding day such a successful and non-stressful event for us.

The first vendor we hired was One Fine Day Events. When choosing a planner, it was important for us to find one that we work well with and that we trusted would take care of things for us. This was critical as we were planning a Chicago wedding from Los Angeles. Gina was the first to reach out to us and schedule a meeting. She remained just as communicative thoughout our experience with her. We appreciated being able to work solely with her and not being passed off to an assistant. She was such a great resource because of all her experience with planning events and her background in design. She was invaluable in helping us to negotiate pricing and securing the best deals with our vendors. She provided referrals for anything that we needed. Gina was also our Day-of-Coordinator and was instrumental in facilitating a flawless wedding from beginning to end. We appreciated having someone call the shots so that we could focus on our special day.

Molly from One Fine Day Events was simply amazing. My wedding was rather detailed and Molly handled our wishes, details, families, guests, and program all with grace and style. She immediately put me at ease the first time we met with her. She is so nice, knowledgeable and professional - I couldn't have picked a better personality to handle us and our crazy families. We had a very detailed wedding, and Molly made sure everything was perfect. She worked with our budget to make sure we had the services we needed. I would absolutely use One Fine Day Events again for planning a future party/celebration.
10/30/2015 • Knottie34410371
We booked the full service package from One Fine Day wedding planners. Before using them as a planner we tried to do everything ourselves but it was very overwhelming. Molly at One Fine Day was amazing, she knew so many things we overlooked. She handled our short time frame well and worked with our busy work schedules. If you want a fun wonderful wedding and no stress planning, look no further. Simply the best.
10/30/2015 • Knottie31767487
I cannot say enough about the team behind One Fine Day Events. First and foremost, they made the whole process very easy and enjoyable! Aside from being a pleasure to work with, they helped me create my dream wedding, while staying within my budget. Not only did they give me the perfect amount of guidance - allowing me to feel like I was running the show, but kept me on track throughout the whole process - never making me feel overwhelmed. I had such a great experience working with them,I recommend them to everyone!
10/30/2015 • Knottie30381143
Would like to thank Molly for all she did to make our wedding run smoothly. Her experienced consulting during the meeting with our reception venue was invaluable, and the assistance she provided us with on the day of the wedding helped us both feel so at ease and just savor the day. The wedding was everything we could have possibly hoped for, and we had high hopes. So much of that was due to her diligence and preparation. Thanks again!
10/30/2015 • Knottie1446248376
We absolutely loved working with Molly at One Fine Day Events. We have the OFDE ladies to thank for the most beautiful, seamless and perfect day in our lives!

I wavered at first about getting a 'day of' planner but I am so glad I did!!! Christina was awesome! She was not just 'day of'... she helped the entire month before, contacting all my vendors and making sure everything was in order. It made things so much less stressful. On the actual day she helped with everything from getting ready to the ceremony to the reception. I did not have to worry about a thing. She helped make my perfect wedding vision a reality. I am so grateful and would recommend her to any bride :)

From the moment I met Gina I knew she was my planner. She was SO professional, SO organized and our personalities just clicked. Hiring One Fine Day was honestly the best decision I made during my process. I wanted a unique venue (no hotels or banquet halls) which automatically eliminated a LOT of places but Gina was still able to book several viewings. It only took one day of looking to find the perfect venue for me. From then on her organization kept me on top of everything!! She sent task lists at the beginning of each month which were SO helpful. When it was time to complete any task she sent her recommendations and always asked if I needed help making a decision. Any idea I had, she would pull samples and we would go over things together. There really are no words to describe how much Gina meant to me during this process. I am literally getting emotional as I type this out. I am so grateful to have had the BEST planner EVER. I will forever be a supporter of Gina and her work!

Gina and her team were a godsend for my downtown Chicago wedding. I didn't have to talk to a single vendor or coordinate anything in the days leading up to my wedding - I just showed up, and everything was perfect. I was able to relax and had the best night!
6/04/2015 • Becky D
I cannot say enough about how wonderful our day of coordinator Christina was. She went above and beyond, providing a ton of help the month of the wedding, including creating a detailed schedule of the day and contacting all of my vendors. The day of the wedding, she made sure our venue was set up correctly, came to the hotel to help my bridesmaids and me into the limo and make sure we left on time, and then came back to the venue and took care of everything else for the night. She took care of a few minor crises and kept everything running smoothly all night. We couldn't have pulled off our wedding in an empty loft space without her.
5/24/2015 • Jessica W
My wedding was flawless, and I can confidently say it was because of Gina at One Fine Day. We booked the day of package but we met with her twice prior and I communicated via email frequently. I am very organized and had my vision of the day, but if you think you need help in those areas I would definitely suggest one of the other packages. She is extremely knowledgeable and professional. I could list the things I noticed they helped with but it wouldn't even begin to tell you what they did that I didn't notice that again made my night absolutely flawless...what bride can say their night was perfect??? If you don't think you can fit One Fine Day into the budget cut out something else...your piece of mind on your wedding day is worth more than I can even describe!!

Gina and her team were phenomenal - it was a dream come true wedding day and would not have been possible without Gina's vision, attention to detail and poise. Definitely use her!
10/30/2014 • andrea o
Gina and her crew are fantastic! I couldn't have gotten through all of the wedding planning or even the day of with out her. She is extremely organized, has great connections and is fun to work with! I would highly recommend Gina and her team!!
10/30/2014 • Julie V
Gina and her team made this day absolutely perfect! A wedding day has so much going on that sometimes we forget the little things. Gina made sure that every detail was addressed, so that my very best friend and her new husband could get the most out of their special day! I was impressed by her efficiency to run the day so smoothly, and how professional she was. Gina is not only well experienced, but she is also friendly and easy to work with. Having seen how the say unfolded, I couldn't imagine the day without the help of Gina. Thanks again!
10/23/2014 • Marcy C
We used Christina for my daughter's wedding for the day of services. She was so helpful with questions and guiding us through the process. Christina was very professional and extremely timely with any information she was to provide for us. I would highly recommend using a wedding planner to reduce the stress during such a wonderful event and Christina is definitely a true asset.
10/22/2014 • Lisa C
I invested in Gina and her team to be my day of coordinators. I can't recommend something like this highly enough! We were delayed coming from our 3rd photography session, our limo driver made a wrong turn to pick up my parents and my husband-to-be's family. What a stressful 45 minute delay! Gina looped in my bridesmaids and dealt with our officiant to speed up the ceremony and get us into dinner on time. By the time dinner was over, we were only 5 minutes behind schedule. I could have flipped out and had a bridezilla moment, but thanks to Gina and her assistant (and my awesome bridesmaids), crisis was averted. I highly recommend using her expertise and assistance to make your most memorable day an enjoyable one.

If you are looking to hire a wedding planner in the Chicagoland area, look no further than Gina and One Fine Day Events. She was instrumental in helping us throughout our entire wedding planning process as well as assisting us for day-of coordination. My husband and I decided to have a full service package so Gina and her team were with us from the engagement (even helping with our engagement party) to the day of our wedding and even after that. Gina has a great deal of experience, and has valuable opinions about vendors that really made the selection process so much easier than it could have been. Additionally, she has so much goodwill with these vendors that we often were quoted prices that were well below other quotes we had found on our own.
In addition to these benefits, Gina was very adept at translating our dreams into tangible design elements for us. Being somewhat overwhelmed by the process, Gina was able to distill my vision into a beautiful reality.
As day of coordinator, she was also invaluable. Her and her team were on the spot with everything we could have needed...and ended up needing!
I can't say enough about her services. Don't make the mistake of looking elsewhere, you've found the team that will make your wedding as amazing as ours!

One Fine Day did exactly that.. make our big day a One Fine Day! I just needed help with setup at our reception site (decorations, making sure vendors were ok, set up, etc.) The two staff persons from One Fine Day Julie and Shannon were both very, very professional and helpful. Everything turned out as good as I could have hoped for! Knowing they were covering the details of getting things set up gave me such peace of mind. Their rates were also reasonable, and they'll work with you to create a custom package for whatever your wedding-day needs are!
8/12/2014 • Amanda S
My fiance and I had needed advice on décor, color scheme, attire and favors. Gina was instrumental in providing this consultation and helping me (as the bride) come up with options and feel secure in making decisions. Everything looked beautiful together, and we received so many compliments on how cohesive everything appeared on our wedding day. Some people said it was the nicest wedding they had been to! I felt that, without Gina's support, I wouldn't have known about all of my options or felt as confident in making decisions.
We also had requested help on the day-of our wedding, and Christina was our coordinator with Shannon as her assistant. She met with us before the wedding and on the day before. She was the utmost professional. On the day before, we had some last minute details to iron out, and she literally took them off our shoulders and handled them so we could spend more time with friends and family. On the day of, it rained between the ceremony and reception, and she helped us still get pictures taken outside under an overhang. She even made sure I didn't get my dress wet!! She worked very well with all our other vendors, and was very likable and helpful. Both Gina and Christina helped our day run smoothly, and we are so grateful that we hired them!
7/02/2014 • Jessica P
Gina and her staff did an amazing job of making sure that our wedding day went exactly as we had planned and dreamed! She took care of everything starting a month out, and it was so nice to refer all of my vendors directly to her during the last weeks. With so many other things on your mind during this time it is nice to just relax about the big things knowing they were being taken care of. Gina and her crew made sure the day of flowed smoothly and if any issues arrived, they were on top of it and got it taken care of! I couldn't have done it without them! I highly reccommend Gina and her staff from One Fine Day Events!
5/03/2014 • Cassie A
My husband and I used One Fine Day Events for our wedding planning services and it was fantastic! Gina was great to work with- efficient and organized throughout the whole planning period. We had no stress on the day of the wedding- coordination of services was perfect. We would recommend this company to everyone.

I used One Fine Day Events for the Majestic Bride Package (day of services). Gina actually contacted me six weeks before the wedding although the contract states one month. She was very thorough and in charge in contacting all of the vendors and arranging times and locations. I had a very busy wedding in which there was entertainment and several wardrobe changes. I was quite impressed in how she was able to coordinate everything with a very detailed outline. She gave suggestions that were not overbearing but, actually very helpful. We did run into one major problem though, one of my bridesmaids cancelled at the last minute so it made for a difficult rehearsal. Despite this hiccup, the actual day of the wedding was fabulous, ultimate perfection. I was so happy how smoothly everything turned out. I forgot one of my many dresses at the hotel and she had an assistant go to the hotel and pick it up. Gina is truly a professional and all around classy lady.

When we got engaged I thought I could plan a wedding, my mother was right and I took her advice, hire a wedding planner. Gina at one fine day events was amazing. So professional, accommodating and we made a new friend! One fine day events has all types of packages depending on what the bride and groom need. We did the complete package and every dime was well spent. It was very affordable and she made me feel like I was her only client, which wasn't the case. She answered all emails and phone calls very timely and kept me organized. She was able to take care of the contracts, gave us great referrals for everything which helps on cost as well. We had an amazing day and didn't have to worry about a thing the day of the wedding. It was great to have everything taken care of. I highly recommend Gina at one fine day events she made our wedding dreams come true!!
10/06/2013 • Danielle K
One Fine Day Events left out no detail! Gina is truly a valued asset. From the beginning she felt like an extension of me --she knew exactly what i was looking for --from the selection of flowers, to finding a perfect location for our wedding, to coordinating all vendors --she kept things on task and made me feel very comfortable.
10/06/2013 • Kalee G
Gina at One Fine Day Events made our decision very easy. At our first meeting, she was outgoing, friendly, and very knowledgeable. She answered all my questions directly and comfortably. I used The Knots' guide to choosing a wedding planner. And offered a payment plan that fit our budget. We were able to pay a deposit and then make monthly payments.
Gina is great with communicating. Never made me feel silly for sending 6 emails in one day with questions and concerns, or ideas. She always responded promptly, as well. She accompanied me to every appointment and even appointments that inspired more ideas. She always gave her personal input as well, which helped me not be too overwhelmed with prices or services. She was always able to work with my schedule without a hitch. Gina quickly became my right hand in the crazy world of planning a wedding. She isso dependable.
Unfortunately I never made it to the aisle. However I recommend Gina for any event. She is thorough and the most amazing person. I know I will be calling upon her again when I am ready to take the walk, one more time.

I don't know how we could have pulled off such an amazing event without One Fine Day Events help. I hired Gina as my day-of wedding coordinator, but she did so much more than that. She frequently checked in with me to see if we were on the same page. She is extremely attentive, organized, and detail-oriented. My wedding was ahead of schedule, stress-free, and simply amazing. Gina did a phenomenal job!
9/26/2013 • Kathleen K
I was a little frustrated at the beginning of working with One Fine Day because I felt they were not presenting tons of options for vendors and helping with the selection, but they did come through in the end. They were vital in making sure we had everything covered specifically with the tent and food vendors. More importantly, they were great for the day of service. It was great not to have to worry about a thing or answer any questions because I knew it would be taken care of. It really made for a stress-free wedding day- which made all the difference.

Gina from one fine day was a rock star! A quote from one of my vendors "Gina is the one holding everything together."
I was anti wedding coordinator at first, but definitely don't regret getting one AT ALL. During your big day you won't see the behind the scenes problems going on and you won't have to worry about them. Money well spent when you think about how many other things you have to deal with that day.
What impressed me the most is that Gina knew what to do and never once had to bother me with questions. It was clear that she had done mannnny weddings. She executed mine and was always on top of everything.
Gina and her team were very sweet and professional. I only wish I could work with them again! Will for sure be recommending them to my future bride to be's!

I had the best experience working with Gina. I wanted to hire a day of wedding planner (since I was having a very small wedding) and Gina was great and I am so glad I was able to work with her. I hired her last minute and she was able to squeeze me into her already busy schedule since she had a rehearsal dinner the night before and another wedding the night after our wedding. She was extremely responsive, very personable and was able to meet all of my needs as well as bring up things that I would never have thought of for the wedding. She was so organized. flexible and I would not recommend working with anyone else. Gina was the best!

Wonderful service, always accessible, responds in a timely manner to all questions and concerns, detail oriented, extremely friendly. We could not have asked for a more perfect day and this could not have been achieved without One Fine Day Events.

Gina Vittorio was the perfect person to coordinate the wedding day and set up wedding blocks at the hotels. Planning a wedding in Chicago can be difficult and exhausting when you live in another state. As mother of the bride, I appreciated her attention to detail,always keeping me informed and going beyond what was required. Her personality is easy going,positive and supportive. We never met but I had such confidence in her that I knew she would help to make my daughter's wedding day special and run smoothly. She was worth every penny and more. Professional yet made you feel that your wedding is the most important. Thank you Gina!

You won't believe what Gina did for me! I had hired her to help plan my wedding and coordinate everything on the day of the wedding. We starting meeting in Sept. 2012 - and then she texts me one morning in October to ask if I would be interested in being on the Nearly - Wed Game of the Steve Harvey Show. My fiance and I said sure and 48 hours later we were at NBC Towers in downtown Chicago taping a show with Steve Harvey, 2 other engaged couples and 200 people in the audience.
The game was lots of fun and guess what? We won the $12,000 Wedding Package - Oh My God!! We had no idea there were these unbelievable prizes for the winning couple! We got a free honeymoon in San Juan, a $2,000 wedding cake, and an entire bridal dress, jewelry, makeup and hair package from Briannah Jayde at Eva's Bridal.
So, my conclusion from this entire situation is.....Gina truly has connections and will do everything she can to give you the best service possible! Our wedding day isn't til next July but Gina has already gone "above and beyond" as a wedding planner and I highly recommend her!

Gina and her staff at One Fine Day Events, are not only professional and detail oriented, but they truly care about providing you with the best service possible. It was very important to me to have the wedding I always dreamed of and I knew the only way to do this was to have a planner. Gina has a passion for style and it shows in her appearence and in her portfolio. She has a degree in Fashion Merchandising which was a bonus as I have the same degree and I knew we would hit it off. It is important to find a wedding planner who you can get along with because over the months of planning you are communicating a lot. She was very quick about getting back to me if I had questions or ideas that I wanted to run by her. She has a lot of connections too! I was so impressed to find out that she has relationships with so many vendors from rental facilities, to florists to printers! She went above and beyond to give me the wedding of my dreams! She understood all of my visions and I am eternally grateful. Thank you ONE FINE DAY EVENTS!!!

I planned and designed my wedding mostly on my own, but I always knew I wanted a day of coordinator so that I didn't have to worry about anything and could just enjoy the day, and with Gina and her assistant Angela, I was able to do just that. With a type A personality, it's very hard for me to relinquish control, but Gina made it so easy. I completely trusted her to take over everything the night of the rehearsal and the big day, She made sure everything looked and ran exactly how I wanted it and definitely improved on some of my ideas that weren't entirely fleshed out. The money I spent on hiring a professional to run the day for me was 100 percent the best money I spent on my whole wedding, knowing that myself, my girls and our families could sit back and relax because Gina had it under control. Knowing someone was making sure the day was just how i wanted it, but not having to worry about it myself, was definitely a big part of why my wedding was so enjoyable for me. If you're thinking about hiring a planner or coordinator, you should definitely call One Fine Day Events!

Gina with One Fine Day Events is AMAZING. Not only is she sweet and easy to work with, she has awesome ideas that will truly make your wedding unique. She also has a custom invitation service and pricing is super affordable – I’m still getting compliments on the invitations her team designed for me! I loved every minute of planning with her and was stress free because I knew she could take care of everything. Gina went out of her way and spent so much time and effort on making my wedding spectacular. It definitely wouldn't have been the same without her!
I absolutely love and adore Gina that I recommended her to my best friend who recently got married and she couldn’t have been happier so I had to post to say thanks to One Fine Day Events! I would give them a million stars if I could!

Really these reviews have said it all: Gina and her team are amazing. During the planning process, she had lots of fantastic suggestions. She literally saved us $1000s because she actually knows how much things should cost. She is unbelievably quick at responding to email, and was totally happy to chat on the phone when we had questions.
She went above and beyond her role as our day-of coordinator to make sure everything went smoothly before, at, and after our wedding. I'd always heard warnings about the bride and groom not enjoying themselves at their own wedding because of all the stress, but Gina and her assistant freed us from worrying about the wedding-day details and we had so much fun celebrating. Our wedding day really would not have been so successful without One Fine Day Events!!

I would never had made it thru this wedding without One Fine Day, Gina is so organized, has recommendations for the best vendors and is great in communicating and handling all aspects of the wedding. She handled all the minor details, had iteneraries for everyone and had it all come together perfectly--I wouldn't have changed a thing for the entire event. She reminded me of all things necessary, kept time lines and sent reminders, she presented me with 3 choices and bids for everything and layed it out so it was easy to make decisions. And she did it all for a very reasonable price. Took all the stress out of the day so I could enjoy a perfect event.

I used One Fine Day Events for their day of service, and I am so glad I did. Gina was so professional and personable. She knew when to step in to move us along the itinerary and when to let us enjoy our wedding. She took care of all the little details that I didn't even think about. Looking back, I don't think we ran into any problems during the wedding because Gina and her team took care of everything. My husband and I actually had fun at our wedding!

With such a wonderfully fun and loving personality, Gina at One Fine Day Events is the best wedding planner you will ever find in Chicago. She is talented in so many ways and is extremely detail oriented...which is a characteristic that you extremely desire when planning your wedding. She is extremely creative and can easily pick up what you envision for your wedding day.
Gina assisted me throughout the whole planning process from beginning to end and she kept me right on schedule as well as attended numerous meetings with me. She is a person who genuinely cares about you and is willing to go above and beyond her call of duty to make you a happy bride.
I have recommended Gina to ALL of my friends and will never stop praising her. Thanks to her talent, dedication and hard work, she made my wedding dreams come true!

We could not say enough to relay how wonderful Gina is. She went above and beyond any expectations we could have ever had! She was extremely personable making us feel comfortable and excited throughout the entire process. Every email, phone call, and question was answered with promptness. She never left me feeling out of the loop or unimportant. Even though I know I was not, her sense of availability made me feel like I was her most important client. Her detail oriented style of planning and professionalism allowed me to put all my trust into her and her staff for planning the most important event I have ever had. There was not one detail over looked, in fact, I can't even fathem having pulled this wedding off this without her, she thought of everything! I was mesmerized by the coordination between her and every vendor involved in our wedding. There was not one problem she couldn't quickly remedy, or one miscommunication that could not be clarified. Gina was able to take our dreams and ideas and turn them into a reality. Having her by our side to walk us through the actual wedding day gave us both an overwhelming sense of calmness, allowing us both to enjoy the day in it's entirety. She is a truly amazing wedding planner and person. I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone planning a wedding...or any event for that matter!

I'm halfway through my wedding planning and I just don't know what I would have done without Gina. I work 60 hours/ week and have a lot of trouble giving up the control of my wedding, but she has really proven herself as someone I can rely on. She has kept me on track not only time-wise, but budget-wise too. In fact I might be under budget due to her seriously amazing negotiating skills bringing costs down. I feel like she really understands my vision and is able find even the littlest things to make that vision even better. She is the best choice you can make for an event coordinator!
10/28/2011 • Jessica R
Gina has been a GODSEND!!! We contacted her as soon as we got engaged and she was on top of things immediately. When we met, she took the time to get to know us and put together so many unique ideas that were specific to us. Gina suggested so many options for our special day- ones that we had never even considered or even thought of! Her expertise has kept us within budget (which we know would not have occurred if we were planning on our own.) and she saved us so much money by negotiating with vendors! She is honest, sincere, and very organized. Gina had made it possible for us to have our dream wedding!

Gina was so incredible helping me plan my wedding.
My whole family lives in Chicago where I grew up. I live on the east coast and HAD to have my wedding in Chicago. It was great because Gina coordinated the whole event! It was so important for me to have it done my way and she executed it exactly as if I had done all the work myself.
