SoiréeSmith

When planning a wedding there are so many things that you don’t think of. After planning our big day for 6 months thinking we had figured out almost everything which looking back we had not, about one month out we hired SoiréeSmith. It was by far one of best decision during the entire process we made. Her attention to detail, going above and beyond and her passion for her clients is undeniable. The day would not have been the same without Andrea’s involvement. Her organization and getting all vendors in order ahead of the event and her management day of made it as stress free as a wedding can be. The little things that you do not even think about Andrea conquers with ease. Look no further if you want a wedding planner to hit it out of the park Andrea is your girl.

On the day of your wedding, you would be lucky to have Andrea by your side! While there are so many details and timelines throughout the wedding day/weekend, the only thing you want to be thinking and worrying about by that time is celebrating, and Andrea made that a reality for us. She is kind, organized and a pleasure to work with. She understands the bigger picture, but at the same time appreciates the personal and special individual details that make your wedding special.

Andrea, oh, Andrea-- how I adore you! I cannot say enough good things about Soiree Smith. She is a master wedding planner and I would be lost without her. Andrea was with us every step of the way and helped us make countless decisions to make sure my special day went off without a hitch. As a largely indecisive bride with a very decisive mother, Andrea navigated our visions and desires seamlessly and the final result was beyond perfect and everyone was happy. Leading up to the big day, she arranged the welcome bags and dropped them off at the hotels, created and cultivated a gorgeous candy bar, made sure all of our vendors were in line, and coordinated every last detail. Andrea pretty much did it all! On the day off, Andrea was my beacon of light. She told me where I needed to be, what I needed to do, and when I needed to do it. She kept the pace of the wedding on schedule while making sure my husband and I were having a fun and happy evening (while still fulfilling our obligations!). I cannot say enough good things about Soiree Smith. I feel so fortunate that we had the opportunity to work with Andrea. She planned the wedding of my dreams all while being delightful company throughout the entire process (even when I was stressed and not-so-delightful!). I would recommend Soiree Smith to anyone and everyone getting married in the Chicagoland area and will continue to sing her praises to anyone who will listen. Thank you, Andrea!!!

Andrea is truly the master of her craft. Selecting her as the wedding planner for our March wedding was an easy decision. After our initial phone call it was obvious that Andrea was someone professional, organized and passionate about making our wedding day a perfect one. Andrea was always easy to get ahold of and quick to respond with questions that we had along the way (of which there were many). She was thoughtful and kept us on track with what was being spent, what still needed to be done and what we would need to keep on our radar in the future. We netted out with a rockstar team of vendors that Andrea was pivotal in managing and resulted in a flawless evening. She also kept the stress of wedding planning to minimum for us. I felt confident and at ease going into our wedding day and that's all because of Andrea's hard work and dedication to our day. If I had to do it all again, I would choose Andrea 1,000 times over. She was a pleasure to work with and was loved by everyone who came into contact with her throughout the process.

Andrea is an absolute dream to work with! Her elegance, class, attention to detail and professionalism are second to none. She understands your vision for the day and is able to execute seamlessly. Formerly working in the wedding industry myself, I was worried about having to sweat the day of details myself. With so much confidence in Andrea, I was able to enjoy my day and not think twice about it. I would choose her 10/10 times!

Andrea is amazing. She is organized, talented and friendly. She handles all situations with grace and poise. Her expertise in the wedding industry made planning decisions easy and enjoyable. Her ability to handle all the details of the wedding day made us feel that we could truly enjoy our day with one another, our family and friends! I worried about nothing because I knew Andrea had everything under control. We love Andrea! You need her!

We used Andrea throughout our entire wedding planning process and we couldn't have done it without her! We did a six month engagement which it seems like now-a-days is never done because of all the planning involved....but with Andrea it is very possible ! Andrea made it so easy, streamlined, and fun. Throughout the planning process, her calm demeanor and expertise helped us plan a beautiful day. The wedding was spectacular and went off without a hitch. From start to finish, Andrea helped create a day we will never forget!

Besides deciding to marry my husband, selecting Andrea as our Month-of-Wedding Planner was the best decision I made with regards to our 3.3.18 wedding – truly!! Similar to Andrea’s rich event background, I am a professional event planner having worked for both hotels and corporations, so I can personally speak to the fact how invaluable it is that Andrea has wedding experience from both the venue side and event planning/design firm side. Again coming from my perspective as a professional event planner, I can also speak to how incredibly talented and wonderful Andrea is in producing flawless events. From the moment we sat down with Andrea for our turnover meeting a month out, I felt as if a huge weight had been lifted off my shoulders and I was able to breeze through and actually enjoy the important things in the month leading up to our big day! Additionally, the timeline that Andrea produced and communicated out was the one of the most detailed, well-done event tools I have ever seen! Her hard work set our team of vendors up for success. I’ve been told countless times both on our wedding day and in the weeks following, that I was the calmest & happiest bride people had ever seen. I attribute this to Andrea’s hard work, attention to detail, and overall amazingness!! Seriously – I didn’t have a single worry on our wedding day and was able to fully enjoy every single moment with my husband and our family & friends – what more could you ask for?! Thank you, thank you, thank you, Andrea! We can’t thank you enough!!
