Sholeh Events

My husband and I live in Seattle and getting married in Chicago so it was super important to us to partner up with a collaborative and flexible wedding planner who really knew the industry, was on the ground, and has worked with multi-cultural couples (I'm Polish-American, my husband is American) -- and we're beyond happy we connected with Sholeh! Our planning was almost two years with ups and downs, and Sholeh was able to help navigate us through it all: she has all the connections in Chicago (any vendor, you name it) ensuring we got through our to-do list, sent us vendors and vetted all contracts, and was honest about the the current Chicago wedding climate from the get-go (which we really appreciated that she level-setted our expectations). On the day of, she made sure everything and everyone was taken care of so that we could enjoy our day. She was literally our fairy godmother. We 1000% recommend her to anyone looking for a wedding planner. Don't even hesitate. Get on her list if you can!!

If there is one decision you must make for your wedding, you must hire Sholeh as your wedding planner or coordinator. Sholeh is everything that every good planner should be. She is organized, thoughtful, flexible, down-to-earth, detail oriented, solution oriented, and extremely kind. She was recommended to us by our wedding venue and to say we were not disappointed would be the understatement of the century. Initially, we hired Sholeh for half-day coordination services, and planned to have the in-house reception planner handle the remainder of the day. But when the venue coordinator fell through, we immediately called Sholeh in a panic and she said, "Don't worry, consider me your full-day coordinator now." She hardly even charged us a substantial upcharge for planning the entire day. On the day of the wedding, she truly felt like family. She arrived on-time, with her wagon full of supplies, ready and eager to help. She made sure everyone was fed, went out of her way to spend quality time with the mother of the bride and bride's sister, and executed every detail to perfection. She even sewed one of the groom's cousins back into her dress at the reception. Sholeh is a dream come true. We could truly write pages about how wonderful she truly is. Believe us when we say that you must must must hire Sholeh!

Sholeh helped my fiancé (now husband) and I with wedding planning, from 4 months away to day of coordination. We kept telling our friends and family that it was the best investment we made for our wedding! She helped us with big decisions like recommending vendors and the day of wedding schedule, and also all the small things we never would have thought of like where to print our programs or where to get tuxes for groomsmen. She also made the wedding day run smoothly so we didn't have to think about the schedule or logistics at all. She was such a joy to work with and was a calming presence during the entire planning process. We honestly don't know how we would've planned our wedding on such a short timeline without Sholeh!

Sholeh was amazing to work with from start to finish. There was no detail left untouched and she truly has your best interests in mind. She took away all worries and made sure the day went so smooth and perfectly. I could not have asked for a better day of coordinator to guide me through the process. I never felt rushed during planning and her guidance kept me on the perfect timeline. Her recommendations for vendors were also amazing to work with!
