We couldn’t be happier with our experience working with Glowing Moments! From the moment we had our first meeting with Hanna, I felt a huge weight lifted off my shoulders. Her calm demeanor, organization, and genuine care immediately put us at ease. She took the time to answer all of our questions and made us feel completely supported throughout the entire planning process.
Hanna’s attentiveness was unmatched—she truly thought of every detail and ensured that nothing was overlooked. On the day of the wedding, she was the MVP! Thanks to her, everything ran so smoothly that I didn’t feel an ounce of stress, which was honestly the best gift I could have asked for. It allowed us to fully enjoy every moment of our special day without any worries.
We are so grateful to Hanna and the team at Glowing Moments for making our wedding day everything we dreamed it would be. If you’re looking for someone who will go above and beyond to make your day perfect, look no further!

Glowing Moments made our wedding day, week, and month SO much more smooth, less stressful, and more joyful! I cannot recommend them enough!
We clicked with Tempris from our first intro call. She is the perfect combo of easygoing and friendly while also being super professional and on top of her stuff. She asked questions that never would have occurred to us, everything from potential sensitive family dynamics to what song we wanted playing while we cut the cake. She also gave so much helpful advice, like recommending that my two-year- old “ring bearer” nephew NOT actually handle the rings, and giving guidance on industry standards for vendor gratuities. Perhaps most importantly, she set us and our families at ease, and made us feel calm and cared for during the rehearsal and during the wedding itself. She has such an eye for detail and also used her creative flair to help with tablescapes and a huge room flip after the ceremony.
Thank you Tempris and team for being amazing!

If we could rate higher than 5 stars we would! Tempris did a beyond amazing job as our coordinator for our wedding. From the moment we started working with her she was so organized, responsive, and helpful. She made such detailed spreadsheets with all of our day-of details, made a timeline that was followed perfectly throughout the day, and had such helpful and engaging meetings with me and my husband to make sure everything was in place. She made our day run so smoothly and stress-free and was so attentive to every detail, and her and her associate Stephanie helped make our ceremony and reception space look amazing as well. She was also so kind, friendly and fun to work with! We couldn't have asked for a more perfect wedding day and have Tempris and her team to thank for that!

My partner and I want to extend our heartfelt gratitude to Tempris and Hanna with Glowing Moments.
We used them for day-of coordination, and received organizational support 1 month out from our big day.
Tempris was exceptionally professional in her meetings with us, and with her organization and details regarding vendors and our schedule via email.
Above and beyond that, Tempris and Hanna did an GORGEOUS job of taking all of the elements I had gathered over the course of the year, and weaving them together to create stunning "moments" at our wedding. I was truly brought to tears upon walking into our Sailcloth tent, and seeing how the candles, bud vases, printed materials and florals in bud vases were arranged by Tempris and Hanna. They had the same magical touch at both our Ceremony and Cocktail Hour spaces as well. They executed above and beyond what I had been dreaming up in my head.
My biggest wish for my wedding day was to be free of the burden of the "details" and "jobs" which I had pined over for the previous year. They delivered upon that and more. In addition - they were extremely organized in their clean up of our wedding, and worked with our venue to ensure that items were left in a safe location for "load out" the next day. We are so so grateful for the work they put in to make sure we could truly enjoy and be present for our day - as well as for our family.
As a personal friend of Tempris, I would recommend them again and again to anyone looking for wedding planners and or day-of coordination for their big day. You want folks like Tempris and Hanna around you, and your guests, at your event.
Thank you Tempris and Hanna - and Glowing Moments!
All our love,
Grace & Joe Misulonas

We are thankful to have found Tempris as our wedding day coordinator. She is super friendly, detailed, considerate, reassuring and professionally experienced. Her associate was also present for the day so we had 2 sets of hands. They also helped set up DIY ceremony and reception decorations as well. I'm not sure how our event would've played out if we didn't have Tempris. Do keep in mind most of the meetings had to occur in the evenings because of her schedule, but this worked out for us better because of our own work schedule as well.

Tempris did an incredible job as the day-of coordinator for our wedding in October 2023! She was a wonderful communicator and incredibly responsive throughout the planning process, and proactively coordinated all of the little details with our vendors. We found her rates incredibly reasonable for the value she provided. We were so thankful to be able to relax on our big day knowing that Tempris and her team could handle all of the logistics, including last-minute changes to the guest count. Both our families remarked on how wonderful Tempris and Hanna were — we truly could not recommend them enough!

Hanna and Tempris did an amazing job! It was such a relief having them step in over the last several weeks for "day-of" corrdination. The day went so smoothly, thanks to Hanna. I hopefully will not be getting married again, but if I were, would absolutely hire them again!

I wish I could give this team more than 5 stars! Believe me when I say, our wedding would not have been the same without the Glowing Moments team. Hanna and Hannah moved through the day with efficiency and ease, putting my wife (!!) and I at ease knowing we had such professional and compassionate people organizing our day. This team was so joyful! Throughout the planning process as well, Hanna's professionalism and organization really shined. I could go on and on about how much we loved working with the Glowing Moments team, but do yourself a favor and reach out to them yourself - you won't regret it!

Tempris was truly one of the best vendors we booked for our September 2023 wedding! We booked Glowing Moments for our day-of coordinator and I don't know how we would have survived the day and months leading up to the wedding without her! I like to think I am a pretty organized person but Tempris' organization and event management skills were the perfect addition and balance! She created a Google Drive for us to collaborate throughout the months leading up to the wedding. We had multiple Zoom calls with her to go over details. She did a great job thinking through all of the important details and made sure that she knew exactly what was going on with each vendor to help manage any questions on the day-of. The best part was the timeline collaboration - we had so many compliments from our wedding party and guests for the detailed timeline! All credit goes to her and you can tell that she has great experience with planning! On the day of the wedding, Tempris and her mom could not have been nicer! Our wedding party loved them both and they were so patient with all of our questions! They were on-time, professional, kept us updated on everything throughout the day and night, and helped to keep us calm throughout the day knowing that they had all of the details handled! Tempris helped with the set-up, clean-up, and helped to gather and return our personal items to us at the end of the night. I would highly recommend Tempris and Glowing Moments! Thank you SO much for making our day so special!

A Seamless Dream: My Great Wedding Planner
I recently had the pleasure of working with my great wedding planner, Tempris Daniels, to orchestrate the most magical day of my life, and I couldn't be more thrilled with the results. From start to finish, this exceptional team demonstrated unparalleled professionalism, creativity, and a genuine passion for their craft, turning my dream wedding into a reality beyond my wildest imagination.
Tempris took the time to understand my vision and preferences, attentively listening to every detail I wanted to incorporate into the wedding. She and her team meticulously coordinated with vendors, ensuring everything ran seamlessly on the big day. I was relieved to find myself stress-free throughout the entire planning process, confident that every aspect was being handled with the utmost care and attention. When last-minute changes or unexpected challenges arose, she was quick on her feet, finding solutions that impressed not only me but also my guests. Glowing Moments was a rare find, and I wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone seeking a wedding planner who will go above and beyond to make dreams come true. Thank you from the bottom of my heart Tempris! Brittany + Chris

We really enjoyed working with the Glowing Moments team! Hanna was our coordinator for the duration of our planning towards the event date. Hanna was very attentive, organized, energetic, professional and creative! She along with the Glowing Moments team were very attentive to both me and my(now) husbands needs on the day of. Ensuring that every detail of our decoration process was met, meant the most to us! We appreciated the attention to detail.
We truly enjoyed working with Glowing Moments and would recommend their services without any hesitation. Thank you for helping us make our day"PicturePerfect"

Finding Glowing Moments was an absolute godsend for our wedding! From our first consultation call, we completely clicked and knew the owner Tempris would be fantastic as our day of coordinator.
Tempris was highly organized, and kept everything day of running smoothly. We had several calls before our big day so she knew exactly what we wanted. Things could not have run better! Tempris ensured that the decor was immaculate and that all of the other vendors had everything they needed. Tempris also brought an assistant (Hannah), and together they took care of everything we could possibly ask for.
Glowing Moments not only made our day perfect, but they did it for a very reasonable cost. I would not hesitate to recommend Tempris to anyone who is looking for a kind, funny, and well organized planner!

Tempris was amazing and treated us like her number-one couple even though we are sure that she had many other weddings to manage! She always went out of her way to make sure that we had everything we could have possibly needed and did a fantastic job with making sure that both ourselves and our vendors knew all of the details for the day.
Planning a wedding is difficult! Even when you break it down into little pieces. Tempris is incredibly organized. She sent us multiple spreadsheets several months before the wedding so we could stay organized and on track. We also chatted via zoom a few times to perfect the wedding day timeline.
Her work is top notch and she has a chill vibe which is very helpful during a chaotic time. We’re happy to call her not just our wedding coordinator, but a friend. Both she and her staff were timely, accommodating, and professional.
If you book her you will be thrilled with her services! Thank you for everything Tempris! You made our day smooth and so much more special.

Deciding to hire Tempris as our day-of coordinator was the best move we made in all of our wedding planning. Full disclosure-I worked with Tempris previously, so I had the opportunity to see firsthand her ability to plan large-scale events, wrangle vendors, negotiate contracts, and execute a vision before I even got engaged. It was a great comfort to know that she had experience planning huge events and concerts with thousands of attendees, so my 100 person wedding was literally nowhere near her biggest lift. Tempris is organized and professional, she was patient in all our questions and my anxiety, and she's well connected in the area so she had great suggestions for other vendors. We definitely had some characters that were part of our wedding and Tempris made them feel heard, but still guided them diplomatically to our align with our vision. Eunice, her event assistant, was also a delight to work with. Tempris was definitely our vendor who worked the hardest. Do yourselves the favor of hiring her to offload so much stress in your planning and day-of logistics.

I found Glowing Moments through a photographer on IG. Our first meeting was a year from our wedding. First impression of Tempris was lovely, she was easy going, funny, and just loved love. Although we hired Glowing Moments as day of coordinators, Tempris also helped us find our Officiant and DJ. We interviewed a few Officiants and DJs, they were all great, and honestly vendors we would never have found on our own, for that, we are very grateful.
We met again about two months before wedding day to get organized. They truly helped us get everything together, figured out what we were missing, and were thoughtful on recommendations.
Tempris and Hannah did the final walkthrough at the venue with us. One way they made sure to introduce themselves to all the vendors. They also attended the rehearsal and got us organized.
The wedding day was perfect! It went smoothly because of Tempris and Hannah’s efforts. We truly appreciate every little thing they did. Truly the heroes of the night.

Best investment I've ever made in planning my wedding was hiring Tempris as my planner. Without her, I would have been an absolute mess and disaster. Her professionalism, approach and organization made my life a million times easier and stress free. She is very thorough and asks the right questions. She and her assistant, Hannah, made our day seamless and worry-free. If something happened, I certainly didn't know about it because they both took care of it discretely and made sure we enjoyed our day! Tempris took care of all our vendor contracts and communications-something I truly needed and appreciated. 10/10 I would highly recommend Tempris and her team to help plan and deliver on your special day.

Tempris at Glowing Moments truly made our wedding possible. My now-husband and I were planning a wedding in Chicago from out of state and didn't even know where to start. Tempris was so positive, kind, and organized from day 1 and helped us to find incredible vendors in the city that she had connections with. She was there every step of the way and was such a necessity not only through the planning process but also on the wedding day (I truly don't know what I would've done without her on the big day). I cannot recommend her highly enough! She knows Chicago vendors, is so so enjoyable to work with, and will always make you feel like a priority. 100/10!

Tempris was amazing to work with as we entered the final few months of wedding planning. With so many final details to confirm and vendors to communicate with, we were so thankful to have Tempris on our side working with each vendor to help manage timelines and day of needs. On the day of our wedding, she was there to make sure the day ran smoothly and our vendors had all the info and support they needed as well. Additionally, Tempris went the extra mile and took home all of our extra décor and made sure that our valuables were managed appropriately. I highly recommend hiring Glowing Moments for your wedding or special occasion.

Tempris was hired by our church to coordinate our wedding ceremony. She met with us a few weeks before the ceremony to get to know us and to discuss the details of the day. She was very professional and knowledgeable but also had an ease about her as if we were working with our friend. The day of the ceremony, we had a few unexpected hiccups and Tempris acted quickly to correct the situation and calm the bride's nerves. I felt like she was an extension of the bridal party, she was fun and easy to work with.

My husband Josh and I were able to work with Tempris as a coordinator through St. Gregory the Great Roman Catholic Church in Chicago, IL. Our day could not have gone more perfectly, and she was definitely one of the reasons why! Before our wedding rehearsal date, we met with Tempris once to provide her with all of our ceremony and wedding party information and Tempris took care of everything from there with the church. She paid attention to all the detail we provided and was great during the rehearsal in explaining how the processional/recessional would work and what was expected from everyone in the wedding party in terms of walking, seating and pictures. Everything at the rehearsal and the day of our wedding went so smoothly and my friends & family adored her as well. Thank you Tempris, for being so organized, personable and supportive through that whole process; it was truly a blessing!!

I got to work with Tempris at Kat and Garret’s wedding on June 12, 2021 and I was very impressed by the way she coordinated their wedding.
Her professionalism, organizational skills and charm are what set her apart from any other coordinator I’ve worked with in the wedding industry. She is a master of her craft and that is reflected on how smooth and effortlessly the wedding day went.
There is a lot of work involved to make it feel that way and she definitely puts in the work for her couples. It’s exactly what every couple wants and deserves on their wedding day.
Tempris goes above and beyond all expectations and I highly recommend her!

I truly don't know what we would have done without Tempris! We reached out to My Glowing Moments for a day-of coordinator and got much more than that. Tempris met with us multiple times before our wedding, going through every detail with us including pieces we hadn't even thought of. She also sent us inspiration and suggestions for incredible personalized touches! The month before our wedding, Tempris took over and was the point of contact for all of our vendors. Because we had communicated so much before that point, she knew exactly what we were looking for and made sure all of the vendors were on the same page. This brings us to the wedding weekend - Tempris made everything seamless from the day we arrived to the day we left! She brought all of our decorations, made sure each vendor was where they were supposed to be, set up the venue, tore down the venue, and orchestrated the ceremony and reception flawlessly. We were truly able to enjoy every moment of our wedding weekend with no worries in the world and that is all due to Tempris. I cannot recommend her enough!

Out of all the decisions we made regarding our wedding, hiring Tempris as our wedding coordinator was hands down the best decision we made. She flawlessly executed all of our ideas and was there to help fill in the blanks when needed (which was a lot!). She is an absolute natural in this role and you can tell she loves what she does! Tempris was invaluable during the weeks leading up to the wedding and the day of. She was able to use her experience and knowledge to help us navigate the entire process- no detail is forgotten with her! We felt fully relaxed the day of our wedding knowing she was on our side handling everything. Don’t hesitate booking Glowing Moments, you won’t regret it !

Tempris is an fantastic wedding planner!!! She is very professional and had such good awareness and knowledge of what we wanted. She took control and made my daughter's wedding day easy and not complicated for me and my family. As someone who likes to take control of a situation paired with wanting to making sure my daughter and son-in-law's day was perfect, I was able to fully allow Glowing Moments to take over and enjoy the day stress free.
She made sure the vendors arrived early and everything was set up properly. My daughter and I worked closely with Glowing Moments to design centerpieces based off of inspiration and photos we found. Tempris took our vision and made it come alive. Additionally, Tempris scheduled pictures prior to the ceremony which was awesome and one of the highlights for me because it allowed us to enjoy cocktail hour with our guests!
Hiring Tempris was one of the best decision I made in regards to my daughter's wedding. I've recommended her to my friends who children are getting married and family members.

When I was searching for a planner for my wedding, it seemed like all of my options were either full-service (fully planning your wedding) or day-of assistance (showing up just for the rehearsal & wedding to make sure things ran on schedule). Glowing Moments offered a happy middle-ground; I was able to select my own vendors, choose what options I wanted, and Glowing Moments stepped in a few weeks before the wedding (which happened to be my busiest time of year at work) to handle the coordination between vendors, the logistics with the venue, and delivery/pick up details. This option was unique compared with others I researched, and it was perfect for me. Tempris, the owner, was a gem to work with -- reassuring, thoughtful, funny, organized, and assertive with vendors when needed. She was available for questions throughout the process and smoothed out some frustrating hiccups with our venue just days before the event. Tempris focused on ensuring that I had a stress-free wedding, and she delivered 100%. I can't speak more highly of my experience with Glowing Moments & Tempris!
