We knew we wanted to invest in a wedding planner, as we were planning a Chicago wedding from the West Coast. Plan and Gather immediately stood out to us, as they offered partial pl...
anning at a reasonable price without compromising on quality. From our very first interaction, Amy set the tone with her warmth, professionalism, and genuine care. We knew we were in good hands.
Amy connected us with Haley, and we truly cannot imagine our wedding without her. From the very beginning, Haley helped us find incredible vendors who matched both our vision and our budget. She guided us through every decision with patience, expertise, and thoughtful advice, making what could have been an overwhelming process feel manageable and exciting.
Haley was incredibly accommodating, adjusting her schedule to meet with us at times that worked best for us on Pacific time. We genuinely looked forward to every call with her (and we miss them now). We always left feeling supported, confident, and with a clear plan for our next steps.
Haley is truly one of a kind. She is warm, kind, thoughtful, and organized beyond belief. Her attention to detail is unmatched. The wedding day timeline she created was absolutely perfect, and she seamlessly coordinated every vendor, allowing us to be fully present and enjoy every moment. She truly led the day, and everything ran so smoothly because of her.
We already miss working with Haley! If you’re considering Plan and Gather, don’t hesitate to book them. You’ll not only gain an exceptional wedding planner—you’ll gain someone who genuinely cares about you and your day. We are endlessly grateful to Haley for helping make our wedding everything we dreamed it would be.
Mia was a godsend. We are so grateful to have had her on our wedding team. She was excellent in creating our day-of timeline and made the day flow perfectly. On the day of, she wor...
ked behind the scenes to help with the room transition, place my decor just as we had discussed, and assisted with cleanup at the end of the night. We truly could not have done this without her and cannot recommend her more!
Throughout the planning process, we kept wondering how anyone could do this without a Haley from Plan & Gather. Haley was a dream to work with - organized, kind, firm, patient, and...
truly embodied professionalism. Cool under pressure - she is exactly who you want (besides your fiance-turned-spouse of course) on the most hectic but best day of our life.
Most people imagine their wedding day throughout their entire lives, even before meeting their partners. I was never one of those people 🤭 as soon as I got engaged, I was SO excit...
ed to marry the love of my life, but at the same time, felt overwhelmed and unsure of where to even begin when it came to planning a wedding.
While I was searching for a venue, I was so fortunate to find Plan and Gather as soon as I did 🙏 From the introductory phone call through the entire process, I felt the weight of uncertainty lift from my shoulders and be replaced with fun and joy planning a day that felt like 100% my partner and I 🙏 Haley, our planner, played the BIGGEST part in putting our wedding together for us! 🥰 She connected us with the most incredible vendors and planned every call, she gave the best guidance for flow and feel of the day, she put together the most amazing timeline, and she went above and beyond working hard to perfectly capture and create everything we had ever imagined and more 🙏 Haley's professionalism, support, and friendship over the year and on the day of our wedding is irreplaceable. Even though she will never take any of the credit, we absolutely could not have done this without her. She was with us every step of the way. And on our wedding day, she gave us so much peace of mind that everything was handled seamlessly. Our friends and family adored her too, and we received so many compliments on how well organized the day felt, and how our wedding represented my partner and I to a T 🥰
All this to say, coming from zero experience of wedding planning and the fears I had leading up to it, Haley erased all of that and worked to create space for my partner and I to truly enjoy the process, be present in the moment, and totally be ourselves 🙏 I could not recommend Plan and Gather, Haley, Lauren, and her team more! Thank you thank you THANK YOU!!

t it. I did not realize how much more there was to do and Haley added so much value! She was always ten steps ahead, anticipating our needs and offering suggestions and solutions when needed, which took a lot of weight off our shoulders. She is highly organized, professional, dependable, and kind. Our wedding would not have been as seamless or as fun without her. Highly recommend!

Her strong relationship with our venue (Journeyman Distillery in Valparaiso) was a huge plus. She knows the space well, and her experience and connections there helped everything run smoothly.

rue. She understood exactly what I needed from her day one. She was able to execute everything I asked for in an easy manner and ensured that I always felt like I was on track. I never felt like I had to explain what I was looking for more than once or felt disconnected during the process. I highly recommend hiring Haley as your coordinator.
Haley from Plan & Gather was AMAZING! (Also shout out to our floral vendor for the verbal recommendation to book with P&G.) She went above and beyond and made us feel so comfortabl...
e throughout our entire planning process. I tend to need reassurance often as to whether I'm doing things the right way, and her availability for "sanity checks", as well as professional guidance and pointers were top notch. Also, she was able to de-escalate drama on the day of for an issue entirely out of our control - BRAVO. Thank you thank you thank you for helping make our big day dreams come true!!

She went above and beyond by scheduling check in calls to keep me on track. She was extremely organized and prepared for our wedding day - it could not have gone more smoothly! She stayed until the end of the night to make sure that none of our decor/gifts were left at the venue. I truly cannot recommend her enough!
We hired Amy for our wedding on 9/6 at Journeyman Distillery in Valparaiso, IN. Amy had the best energy from the moment of our first call through our wedding day. Working as a wedd...
ing coordinator on the side myself, we worked so well together and we completely trusted her with our day. We combined so many traditions for a Serbian/American wedding and she was so excited to learn everything and help us pull it off. Not only did she set-up all our details, come to our ceremony to make sure everyone was lined up and help with getting our items together in the evening for clean-up but she also stepped in when Journeyman dropped the ball with service issues. She jumped in to clear plates, bartend, bring drinks to our family and more. I truly don't know what we would've done without her.
We had Haley from Plan + Gather Events as our coordinator and we would highly recommend her for anyone who wants a seamless wedding planning and execution experience! Haley has bee...
n amazing to work with since the very start - she's a great communicator through emails and calls and she's incredibly well organized. She helped answer all of our questions and worked through the decision-making process with us for all of our vendors. She ensured that everything was well communicated leading up to the wedding and that all the timelines and details were in place. She corralled our entire wedding party and family members into organization before and during the big day. She was everything we needed during the wedding, running behind the scenes and ensuring the entire event ran seamlessly. We received so many compliments from our guests about how well organized our wedding seemed and we attribute that to Haley.
We just had our wedding with Ruby as our coordinator, and I honestly don’t even have the words to describe how incredible she is! From the very first moment I met her, she put me c...
ompletely at ease and I instantly knew we were in the very best hands. She guided every single detail so seamlessly, went above and beyond in ways I didn’t even know we needed, and made the entire day feel effortless. Beyond her amazing talent and professionalism, she is such a warm, kind, and genuinely wonderful person. Truly, if it weren’t for Ruby, our day would not have been the dream it turned out to be. She is an absolute treasure and we are forever grateful for her!

hank Mia enough for the incredible work she did in the final few months leading up to our wedding. From the moment she started working with us, she brought a sense of calm, organization, and true professionalism that made us feel at ease.
Mia’s attention to detail was exceptional—nothing slipped through the cracks even with tons of emails and changes leading up to the day. She anticipated our needs, handled every little nuance with care, and made sure everything reflected our vision beautifully. What really stood out was her gracious and understanding nature. She listened, offered thoughtful suggestions, and always made us feel supported and heard throughout the process.
On the day itself, everything ran like clockwork. Mia coordinated seamlessly with all of our vendors, kept everyone on schedule, and made sure we didn’t have to worry about a single thing. We truly got to enjoy every moment of the day because we knew we were in such capable hands. Our friends complimented us on how seamless everything flowed together. We owe it all to Mia!
If you're looking for someone who is organized, kind, detail-oriented, and truly invested in your day, look no further!

My husband and I recently got married on November 2nd, 2024. When we started planning, both of us had no idea what details we were missing. We underestimated how much went into pla...
nning a wedding. Our venue suggested getting a day of coordinator to help us get everything together. After doing some digging and googling, we found Plan + Gather. The first call instantly put us at ease as they were understanding and helped talk us through the process. We were sold. About a month before the wedding, Mia reached out to us and started help plan our special day. Mia provided us with a list of things to think through, which ended up being very helpful because many of them we had not thought about. Her communication was clear, friendly, and we trusted her completely. Mia was a rockstar and coordinated with all our vendors and helped schedule our final walkthrough with everyone at the venue. For the rehearsal at the church, Amy was there to help make sure that our wedding party had a breakdown of the day. They had a full detailed timeline for us which was extremely helpful! We received compliments from our bridal party on the usefulness of the document. On the day of our wedding, we felt at ease knowing we had Mia and Amy there to help with everything. We had so many personal touches to our decor at our venue, and Amy did such a fantastic job! Both Mia and Amy did an incredible job of setting the venue up exactly the way my husband and I imagined. I could not recommend Plan + Gather enough. If you are planning your wedding and looking for some help with coordination we cannot recommend them enough. We are beyond grateful for them!

ven pinning the boutonnieres on the groomsmen, they made sure everything was perfect. We can’t thank them enough for their tireless work and dedication. Their effective communication, positive presence, and overall calming energy were extremely helpful to all. These two are a powerhouse duo and so incredibly organized. I felt like Haley knew all of my wants and needs because she was so organized with all of her spreadsheets that were heavily detailed. Amy was super helpful with transitioning people, bringing our families drinks during dinner at the reception, and giving advice during photos. Overall, we could not have asked for a better team. Our day was AMAZING because of these two in attendance. Thank you Haley & Amy! We love you guys!!

I felt so comfortable going to her for anything and knew I had the support I needed. Her insight and guidance goes such a long way and helps organize your big day the way YOU want it. I felt heard, seen, and understood. I would highly recommend anyone to hire Plan and Gather Events to make your big day everything you want and hope it to be!
We had the pleasure of working with Amy from P&G to help us with coordinating our wedding but she provided so much more than that! They had all sorts of great literature to share w...
ith us on things to focus on and when while we were going through the wedding planning process. Plan and Gather has curated a list of vendors that they know, have worked with, and most importantly trust when it comes down to start deciding which vendors to reach out to. For planning an extremely overwhelming event, P&G makes it easy on their clients by providing very helpful guidance. When it came down to the final month or so before the wedding, Amy was all over our vendors as well as the event coordinator at our event space. Once we got down to the final couple of weeks is where I really saw the value of utilizing P&G. The follow ups with all of the vendors, the help putting our timeline for our wedding day together, just having a person for all of our vendors to call and talk to on the day of our wedding was all so extremely nice so that we were able to enjoy our big day. We would 100% recommend Plan & Gather to anyone looking to help reduce the stress that comes with planning and having a wedding.
I hired P&G for day of coordinator services for our wedding in February 2024 in Chicago. Amy and her assistant Lina were incredible. Amy provides these services starting about 10...
weeks out and she was super attentive and responsive and took all the stress out of vendor coordination for me. I am a type A kinda of gal, but after our first meeting with Amy, I knew I could trust her to take the lead and leave me out of the middle man mess that planning can become. She did incredible contacting the vendors we had booked on our own to ensure everyone was ready for wedding day. Amy's energy and leadership is topnotch. P&G pricing is the best out there and worth EVERY penny and more!

We loved coming up the aisle after the ceremony and seeing Haley holding our nephew, and Mia on the floor coloring with our niece - they really handled everything and everyone. We are so grateful to them!

alth of knowledge on all aspects of wedding planning. She listens well and made suggestions based on our vision and our budget. She responded to all questions on a timely basis. She is extremely organized and developed a day of timeline that included all the details we wanted. She set up the wedding decor beautifully and carefully packed it all up at the end of the night. She connected with all of the vendors and managed all of the day of deliveries. She truly enjoys her job. Five stars.

hired Plan & Gather for month of coordination, but Haley still set up bi-monthly touch bases months in advance. She was extremely organized and super communicative anytime we had any questions. Our wedding day went super smoothly thanks to all the great planning and attention to detail. Our timeline was well thought out with everything we wanted to include in it for our day and vendor communication could not have been better. Would 10/10 recommend working with Plan & Gather!

fore our wedding—she was so organized, responsive, smart, and caring. She thought of every little detail and answered my constant questions with so much patience. On the day of our wedding, Haley kept everyone on time and ensured every single detail was perfect. If anything went wrong on our wedding day, we had absolutely no idea because Haley handled it so efficiently and calmly. Hiring Plan + Gather was one of the best decisions we made through our planning process. Our day went SO smoothly because of Haley’s amazing organization and planning. I will recommend her and her team to everyone I know! Thank you SO much, Haley!

Choosing Plan & Gather was one of the best choices we made during our wedding planning process. We had most of our vendors selected already for our April 2023 wedding when we start...
ed looking for a day-of/month-of coordinator. Haley started meeting with us weeks before the wedding and helped walk us through all of the details and kept us on track. We ended up having major issues & disappointment with our venue’s staff, but Haley went above and beyond to help minimize the stress that fell on us. We had an amazing wedding, and heard many comments about how great and organized Haley was. On top of keeping the timeline on track and taking care of all of the details on the wedding day, she also quickly stepped in to coordinate on a few occasions when our venue was not necessarily ready on their end. I really think that Haley/Plan & Gather is the main reason our wedding day went as well as it did. We are so grateful we had the opportunity to work with Haley on our wedding day and highly recommend to future brides & grooms!
RUN don't walk...to book Plan and Gather Events! Amy and her team are INCREDIBLE and the absolute best decision we made for our wedding. She is so honest, knowledgeable, organized,...
and communicative. Wedding planning can be hectic and overwhelming, but Amy makes it so much easier and fun!
Amy is the reason our wedding was absolutely perfect. Not only did she make it so seamless and enjoyable for us- allowing us to stay calm, carefree, and present on our day, but for our other vendors too. I believe our vendors were able to focus on their roles so intently because Amy made it easy for everyone!
Hire Plan and Gather Events to ensure a beautiful event that you, your guests, and all of your vendors will enjoy!
Amy and Plan & Gather Events was the absolute BEST decision we made for our wedding. I was hesitant to hire a planner/coordinator at first due to being very type A and budget reaso...
ns, but as I started planning I realized how much there would be to do on the day of and weeks leading up. I decided to meet with Amy and was sold within the first 2 minutes of speaking with her. She made me feel so much more calm and supported, and I immediately felt the weight lift off my shoulders. We ended up hiring Amy for "day of" coordination, which included 8-weeks out as well. Aside from this, Amy was more than happy to answer any questions along the way and give vendor recommendations. Amy was extremely responsive and made sure every detail was covered. As a first-time bride, there were many things I didn't even think about and I had a million questions about the timeline and process. Amy took control of things I needed her to, but still let me plan my day the way I wanted. It was so nice feeling like I always had someone in my corner, especially when it came to dealing with vendors. I even had a vendor back out last minute and Amy found a replacement immediately. I didn't even know there was an issue until the replacement was settled! On the day of, I didn't have to worry about a single thing and was truly able to enjoy every second. I had a vision for my day, and Amy made sure that vision came to life. I could not recommend Plan and Gather Events enough. If you do anything for your wedding... HIRE THEM!!!
We would hire Haley and Plan and Gather a million times over. We knew from the moment we talked to Haley on the phone that we wanted to hire her as our Day of Coordinator. She list...
ened to where we were with our wedding planning and validated all of the work that we had already done for the big day. I'm very type A and had a specific vision for the day. With Haley, I was never nervous handing over the reins. Every time we met with her, including the first call before she was even hired, she took notes and shared them with us to ensure we were on the same page. As the day got closer, we loved that we had a third party to bounce last minute ideas off of and ask any random questions that came up. And we loved that she met with each of the vendors individually before hand so that when our wedding day came around, she was able to take over and we could step back and enjoy the day as bride and groom. We did not have to worry about a single thing. Haley was a dream come true.
We cannot say enough WONDERFUL things about Haley and the Plan and Gather Events team. From the very beginning, Haley was super communicative, organized, and supportive of our wedd...
ing planning process. Quick to reply to emails and calls. Very knowledgeable about the wedding planning process, always thinking ahead, and went above and beyond to ensure we were happy with every single aspect for our special day. Extremely proactive when it came to working with our vendors and the venue, as well as present for our walkthrough and rehearsal. Haley supported with putting out our DIY decor, dessert table, and late night eats and really brought our vision to life. We truly wouldn't have had such a PERFECT day without all her support. If you are seeking a wedding coordinator, Haley is the absolutely ideal candidate. Thank you, Plan and Gather for being such a dream to work with. We will be referring you to all of our friends.
I being the control freak that I am struggled getting a planner. I wanted it mostly for the day of coordination stuff and thought I would be able to handle everything else but man ...
oh man was I wrong. With the package I got, Amy did much more than just the day of coordination. She handled things that I wouldn't have even thought of. She was organized, replied in a timely manner, and was able to help turn my dream wedding into a reality. I am so incredibly happy I chose to hire her for our wedding because not only would I have been a mess the day of trying to coordinate everything with vendors and whatnot, but everything else from helping me choose linen colors to telling me that I didn't need this but I did need this was beyond helpful. Hire her! You will not regret it!
Haley was extremely professional and AMAZING to work with - for the few months leading up to the wedding, she ensured all of the "big" to-do items were organized, initiated phone c...
alls to answer any questions we may have add and to ensure we were on time with our checklist, provided helpful tips, created a detailed timeline for the day of, and coordinated with the other vendors to confirm we were all in agreement with the timeline and expectations for the day of (plus much more!). Then, the few weeks leading up to the wedding, Haley fine-tuned ALL of the details and managed all of the specific needs of the other vendors. More importantly, Haley made the day of extremely organized (multiple guests approached my parents and complimented how organized and structured the wedding was) and stress-free for our large, 270-guest wedding. I can confidently say that our wedding would not have been as great as it was without Haley - 10/10 recommend Haley & Plant and Gather Events!
Haley and Amy were great to work with and responsive to all of our wedding questions and requests throughout the planning process. It was great having Haley there on our wedding da...

tion was perfect. She was the best!!
Simply put, I do not know what I would have done without Haley from Plan and Gather Events!! Leading up to our day and the day of, she was incredibly organized, communicative, and ...
SO professional. My other vendors had only amazing things to say about Haley and they specifically pointed out her kindness (!!!!), which was always such a breath of fresh air during stressful planning times. I couldn’t even tell if you something went wrong the day of our wedding because Haley definitely just took care of it. I can’t recommend Plan and Gather Events enough, and if you’re on the fence about getting a planner, I would recommend this company 12/10 times!!
Initially I had thought I would be ok working without a planner but as the date got closer and closer I realized there were so many little things to keep track of. After interview...
ing a few planners I chose to put my faith in Amy as she seemed relaxed, fun, and new our venue well. My co-planner (my father) and I were so happy with our decision. The weeks leading up to my wedding Amy acted as my sounding board and therapist depending on the size of the fire we had to put out. She helped me add personal touches to our venue from favors to hanging a neon sign. She also acted as the go between organizing and a detailed timeline of the entire night and coordinating with all of our vendors. Day of she was everywhere but also never in the way. Our dessert table looked amazing and everything was set up just as I imagined. In the end I am so thankful to have found Amy and entrusted her with all the details of our big day. You will not be disappointed!
Haley and Amy were a breeze to work with. We had started correspondence beginning of 2020, talking about how we wanted things to go day of - then COVID hit and paused the timeline....
Thankfully Amy & Haley kept all my details on file and kept checking in to see if I needed help planning a wedding 2.0 alternative.
Luckily we were able to have the reception and Haley was amazing at coordinating the weeks leading up to the event. I didn't have to worry about a SINGLE detail on the day-of. She took the reigns weeks ahead of the day to make vendors knew she was the point person, and how the day was going to flow. From setup to tear down Haley was THE BEST. I could not have had such an easy, carefree day without her.
