This is your sign, BOOK THEM! Lety is a wedding day NEED. Lety and Veronica were the best team to have create my wedding vision a reality. After planning a majority of my wedding details on my own I knew I wanted to enjoy my wedding day. I looked to Lety for day of coordination, she did not disappoint. From communicating with vendors, family members and even dealing with day of hiccups. They were the best investment I could have made for my wedding day. It’s because of them that I can truly say my husband, my wedding party and I was able to take a step back and truly enjoy our wedding day! Forever grateful to them! We look forward to planning another event together in the future!

I found Lety (and Veronica) through a friend who used their services for her wedding and I can definitely see why she came recommended. Lety and her team were very organized, professional, and I never felt like she was too busy for my event. This wasn’t just a day of coordination - we had timeline meetings and constant communication about our expectations. From the rehearsal to the wedding day, Lety was present and on top of everything. It felt like she was there to help me in whatever I needed. Her templates made it easy for me to gather the information that was going to be needed for the day of and the timeline was clear to all my vendors. I was scared to hire a day of coordinator because I had heard of some horrible experiences but with Lety I was confident that my day would go on without a hitch. And it did! My family and friends complimented me on her services as well.
Veronica was a Godsend as well! She helped execute my decor setup perfectly and I couldn’t have been more grateful. I cried because it’s not easy for me to give control to someone else on such an important day but she made it easy to do so with little instruction.
Great coordination team and I would gladly recommend them to anyone. Best vendor decision we made!
From the moment we connected with Lety a couple months before our wedding, we knew we had made the right choice for our day of coordinator. She gave us great feedback on where we were in the process and even helped us secure a couple of missing vendors. The timeline she created included details I didn’t even think of, and she took charge of sharing it with anyone and everyone that needed to know the plan. The day of Xiomara and Veronica were a dream come true! They worked directly with all our vendors, set up a ton of my DIY, kept us all on schedule and even dealt with a wardrobe malfunction without hesitating. They truly made us feel like we were the priority and when a couple fires went off, they were prepared and quickly took care of it. People kept asking me how I stayed calm through much of the day, and I owe it all to them! I truly cannot thank them enough for making sure that my now-husband and I enjoyed every single minute of our wedding day. I highly recommend them to any bride/groom planning their wedding!
Any questions?
The Event Chicago made our dream wedding goals come to life. Having an outdoor venue with ceremony, cocktail hour and reception all in the same area there were so many moving parts.
Letty and Veronica made sure we stayed on time, made recommendations throughout the day that made better sense. They directed the crowed to the places they were suppose to be. They were accommodating to not only me and husband but to the whole wedding party.
Letty and Veronica made me feel like a queen that day. They accommodated to my needs, they reapplied my lipstick, kept a drink in my hand all night, they kept me fed.
They worked amazingly under stress, and never let me worry about a thing.
I recommend this team for every event!
I absolutely LOVED working with The Event Chicago! Lety was amazing during our planning call. She asked questions about details I would have never thought about and probably forgot to work on before the wedding if I did this by myself! Then on the wedding day, I had Xiomara and Alexis taking care of everything and I felt so at peace knowing everything would be taken care of. Xiomara picked up our breakfast and flowers for a special tradition during our ceremony. None of us had to worry and run around. She kept us on track for our timeline and we were always on time for everything. Her and Alexis took care of putting out all our DIY decor and followed my directions to a T! They made sure we had appetizers and drinks at the reception before dinner started and they brought us dessert after dinner when a lot was going on. I am so glad I chose to have a day-of coordinator and this team was worth every penny. I'm extremely happy with my decision and how perfect our day was. 100% recommend The Event Chicago, Lety and her team!
We cannot thank Lety and Alexis enough for absolutely everything they did ALL DAY for us! We are so grateful and lucky you were available and we were able to hire you for our big day!
You both made a big beautiful impact on our day, it felt so good to not worry about anything and just enjoy every second of it. Lety was that best friend I needed through the day to calm my nerves down during the morning. And Alexis made me feel like spoiled girl with how attentive she was with us in the evening at our reception!
Thank you ladies! You both are beautiful souls!
Lety and her team were amazing and a must-have addition to any wedding day or special occasion. Not only did her team assist in setting up our venue, but Lety was with us all day while handling all details with our vendors, and even wiping my sweaty back during my dress change, and handing us a mint before we walked down the aisle. We truly could not have pulled the day off without her, Veronica, and the rest of the team. Lety is professional, responsive, organized, and a steadfast decision-maker. She'll deal with a million things so you can hand over the reins and fully enjoy your special day. Hire The Event Chicago!
Hiring The Event Chicago as our ‘day of’ coordinator was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding! Lety & Xiomara went ABOVE & BEYOND! Not only did they help with creating the timeline, they executed! The day went so smoothly and perfect. My family and friends kept telling me how much I was glowing and how present stress-free I looked because I truly was! Also, they were prepared for any situation! After my first look/before my ceremony, I had tear streaks running down my cheeks and I was freaking out that I ruined my makeup. They were quick and just so happend to have makeup on deck to make me look and feel my best! That's just one example of what they were equipped with to assist the bridal party. I HIGHLY recommend hiring this DREAM TEAM if you want your day to be stress free, fun, and memorable! I truly believe our day wouldn't have went so smoothly if it wasn't for Lety and Xiomara!
We hired Lety and her team for the "Day of" but really it was a month long experience. As soon as we had out timeline meeting, Lety was hands on with every detail. We could not have asked for a better coordinator. You don't realize how many little things there are to do on your wedding day which is why you need to hire The Event Chicago, because Lety and her team DO KNOW and are more than prepared. Lety and veronica were the dream team! Lety oversaw the whole operation and Veronica practically shadowed the bride for any little thing she might need (holding an umbrella or touching up her lipstick).Veronica even sewed on my jacket button after it popped off midday! They are very responsive with their communication, very professional in their presentation and behavior, and extremely reassuring that they will make the whole day go perfectly. I am beyond thankful for this team and everything they've done and I will be recommending this group to everyone I know that may be coordinating an event. Lety, thank you again for making our day special, memorable, and truly magical!
I am so happy I hired the event Chicago for my wedding. Lety was so helpful with the planning process and she was on top of everything! Veronica and Xiomara were there on my wedding day and they were both incredible and extremely helpful! I showed them my vision and they made it come to life! I definitely felt less stressed that day and was able to enjoy my wedding day to the fullest! I would highly recommend them to any future bride looking for a wedding coordinator!
I can't recommend The Event Chicago, led by Lety Rangel, enough! Lety and Patricia were phenomenal as our day-of coordinators—calm, collected, and always one step ahead. Lety's demeanor was incredible—she kept me, as the bride, calm, excited, and feeling beautiful, always anticipating my next move and ensuring I stayed in the moment. Even when unexpected issues arose, they handled everything seamlessly, so the party and timeline never skipped a beat. Lety also led our floral planning, taking charge when we were behind and delivering proposals that perfectly matched our vision. Her communication was clear, professional, and proactive throughout the entire process. They exceeded all expectations and were worth every penny!
Lety and Veronica were absolutely wonderful! I hired them as day of coordinators for my wedding. They handled everything and more! They truly made me feel so special and I could trust them to make the day go perfect! There were a couple mix ups with the venue set up and Lety made sure that the staff changed everything according to our plan. Any issue that came up they handled it with ease. They are both so sweet and I would 100% recommend them!
The event chi team was incredible. I feel so lucky to have had them on my special day. Xiomara didn’t leave my side the entire morning/day while Veronica held it down at the venue so each piece of the day was taken care of. Any hiccups that happened was communicated and effectively resolved by the team and I never had to lift a finger. They went above and beyond to ensure everything went smoothly and my partner and I were happy. They provide quality service and professionalism.
From the moment we hired The Event as day of coordinators for our wedding, they were prompt, responsive, helpful, and most importantly- kind to us. They were very helpful in identifying all of the details we needed when Lety created our wedding timeline (amazing!). Lety helped us sort out a lot of minutiae at our rehearsal. On the day of the wedding, they were absolutely integral to our success- they set up the church (candles, programs, fans), brought the wedding party breakfast and kept us on time and in our correct locations (and more!). They did the perfect job of keeping the bride in the loop about setup/etc but not with so much information that it was overwhelming- a perfect balance and a calming presence. At the reception they were subtle yet absolutely critical to the success of the party- I unequivocally recommend The Event and Lety (and Alexis!) for your wedding.
We can’t thank Lety enough for making our wedding planning so smooth!
Before Lety, we were overwhelmed, stressed out, and felt lost in the planning process. From the moment we met Lety, we knew we were in the best hands to make our big day special and booking her was the best decision we made!
She came in as a lifesaver when she helped take on the challenge of finding a venue for us when we had no clue what we were doing. She was so supportive throughout this process and was always available to answer ALL of our questions (and we had MANY questions). She connected us with incredible vendors, which truly created a dream team for our big day. Her ability to coordinate vendors, manage timelines, and handle unexpected challenges was nothing short of impressive.
On the wedding day, Lety and Alexis ensured everything ran flawlessly, allowing us to truly enjoy our special day without worrying about anything. Our guests couldn't stop raving about how seamlessly everything came together.
Thanks to her, our vision truly came to life, and we really couldn’t have done it without her! We are forever grateful for Lety and The Event Chicago for making our special day one to remember. Thank you, Lety and Alexis, for making our wedding day absolutely perfect!
We loved working with Lety and Veronica! Their behind-the-scenes work made for such a smooth day. We were so thankful to have them with us through our two ceremonies and reception. They are so responsive, organized, and attentive! We couldn't have asked for a better team.
Hiring The Event Chicago team for our wedding’s day of coordination was the best decision we could have made!! Lety helped create our day of timeline, and was onsite with her colleague Veronica for the day of our wedding. Their team went the extra mile for us, from picking up all of our decor, running down the block to get me Tums from the pharmacy during dinner, to getting more bottles of tequila for the bar after we unexpectedly ran out. Their team exceeded our expectations in executing our vision and swiftly dealing with any last-minute hiccups. We were able to fully enjoy being present during our wedding day thanks to Lety and Veronica. Lety even took behind-the-scenes videos to capture some special moments throughout the day. Even if you are a planner like me, you will not regret hiring the Event Chicago team. Thank you so much again for making the wedding of our dreams come to life!
Hands down one of the best decisions we made for our wedding was to hire The Event Chicago! Lety and Veronica were amazing. Lety made our wedding planning enjoyable and stress-free, from creating the timeline to reminding us to eat during our reception. Veronica ensured that my lipstick was always picture-ready and easily bustled my dress multiple times. My husband and I had numerous guests comment on how flawless and organized our wedding had been. That was all thanks to The Event Chicago. Forever grateful!
My mom still reminds me weekly that hiring The Event Chicago was the best choice I made for my wedding day! From our first meeting with Lety laying the groundwork & creating our Wedding Timeline, to the helpful emails in between that kept us organized, to how dreamy our big day turned out, I truly cannot recommend Lety (and Veronica & Alexis) enough! They were professional, friendly, and EXTREMELY helpful. Also, HUGE bonuses in my book are the fact that they are bilingual so there was one less thing to worry about with our Spanish speaking vendors & family members! We did not have the most “grand” wedding, but we felt like 1 million bucks having The Event Chicago coordinate our day & address all the tiny details from set up to break down! The team accommodated last minute changes, coordinated vendors effectively, catered to my husband and I all day long, and above all made the day absolutely BEAUTIFUL, relaxing, and enjoyable for us! And for me, the cherry on top was receiving BTS iPhone videos a couple days after our wedding! Book with them, you will not regret it <3
From our first meeting with Lety we felt we made the right choice. She gave us the confidence and reassurance that our wedding day would be perfect. Our day off coordinators were, Xiomara and Alex and they surpassed our expectations. They were so attentive and invested in making everything go well. In short they were amazing, and we appreciate everything they did for us.
The Dokters
Lety and Veronica are amazing. My husband and I were able to truly enjoy our wedding without worrying about a single thing! They were super proactive with everything and literally went above and beyond for us! They are so organized and made sure we had a detailed timeline and made sure we didn't miss anything! Could not recommend them enough our wedding would've been chaotic without their help!
Lety and Veronica were amazing and I can't imagine my wedding day without them! They were so, so, so incredibly helpful and dealt with anything that came their way. I was able to enjoy my big day and not worry about a single thing! From meeting me at the hotel room early to make sure florals would be delivered and dealing with all of the vendors to helping fix my mother in law's dress (I didn't even know about this- apparently, she had a big freak out but they were so amazing and handled it that I had no idea until I was told days later), to setting up and packing up all of my DIY things for the ceremony and reception- they did it all! Lety made the most detailed timeline and was amazing in making it specific to what I wanted and offered me so much advice (which I highly needed because I had no idea what I was doing!). Everyone kept commenting that I was so calm all morning and all day, which I honestly contributed to Lety and Veronica- without them I know I would have had no chill and would have been so worried that things weren't going to go as planned. They were absolutely amazing and I can't recommend them enough!
My husband and I made the best decision in hiring The Event Chicago for day of coordinator. I am forever grateful that we found Lety and her team! Lety made us feel at ease when discussing the timeline. The team had great communication with us and our vendors. Lety made sure to take all of our necessary items with her to church. Veronica took all of our reception items and made sure to set them up perfectly. Lety and Veronica made our wedding day go by smoothly and stress free! They made sure we were on schedule, helped carry the tail of my dress when taking pictures, helped me change into sandals, made sure all of our items (card cage, cake, frames, guestbook, etc.) were taken back to our suite. They ensured we were taken care of through the day. They took care of payments and tips for all of our vendors. They were amazing! We would highly recommend hiring them for your event!
Thank you again!
Lety and Veronica were amazing! They did such an amazing job from building the timeline to the day of the wedding. We can not truly express how thankful we are! Also on being able to handle all the situations because our family isn't easy lol Truly would have asked for a better team! Thank you so much for everything!
After we booked our venue, booking a coordinator was our first big decision and one of the most important ones for me as the bride.
I cannot say enough great things about Lety and her team. I really don't know how I would have been able to have our wedding without them.
The care and thought that goes into everything is incredible. From the start Lety had great communication. I became very overwhelmed towards the end of planning and Lety showed grace and patience as I struggled with last minute decisions and poor communication on my part. I also have to say that the professionalism, thoughtfulness, and the overall personality of Lety and Veronica really allowed me to trust them and made me feel like I had known them for years! They thought of every little detail and held that throughout the night. There was a few things that came up that I didn't even know about, which is exactly the experience I wanted.
I can go on and on, and have recommended them to everyone I know planning any event lol. We have some family weddings and a sweet 16 in the next year so I will be rebooking!
Thank you again, we could not have done it without you!
I can go on and on about how amazing Lety & her team were! From the first phone call until the very end of our wedding night! Communication was clear, concise & helpful! I always felt supported in my decisions and oftentimes when asking for advice Lety would help guide without making me feel overwhelmed! During my wedding day, Veronica was at our venue making the place look straight out of a dream, I seriously couldn’t have asked for anything better. Xiomara was with me at our hotel and during photos, she kept us on time and often made me feel like I had another friend along for the ride! It is very important for me to connect and support women/Latina owned companies, and these women were such a strong confident team I felt so supported! I seriously could not recommend them enough, I will be talking about them and their team for years to come & recommending them to everyone that I possibly can, I feel so lucky to have had them helping make our day possible! ❤️ forever thankful,
The Pastiriks!

Thank you, Vanessa! Sending so much love!
Lety and Veronica went above and beyond to make sure that our whole day ran smoothly. Without their help, I cannot imagine the headaches we would have had on our day. Lety offered suggestions throughout the entire process and was there for us during freak out moments / moments we were not clear on direction. When a fire alarm went off during the reception, Veronica worked to keep us calm and ensured us that everything would work out fine. Her reassurance helped us get through the unexpected event. Both Lety and Veronica were assertive yet respectful when things needed to get done, and we cannot thank them enough for everything they did for us on our special day. THANK YOU SO MUCH! We would hire again for any event in the future.

Thank you, Jordan!!
The Event Chicago was so amazing. My husband and I had our wedding at the Morton Arboretum in September and booked Event Chicago as day of coordinators. We are so happy we went with them! Lety was available even before the wedding day for phone calls and created a great timeline that met all our needs. She also made herself available to pick up larger decor items and my dresses the night before the wedding. It was so helpful to be able to speak with her before the wedding and made me feel so comfortable with their competence.
Our wedding day went off without one hitch and it is in large part because of the incredible work Lety and Veronica did! They were so warm, friendly, and helpful. They really thought of everything from an emergency sewing kit for a bridesmaids dress to a portable fan or face power for unexpected eye makeup smearing. They also handled directing guests and all vendors upon arrival and during the day which really took the stress off of me and my husband. With Event Chicago we were able to focus on being in the moment and enjoying time with our families.
We can't recommend them enough! So happy we went with The Event Chicago!

Thank you, Cassandra!! Sending so much love!!
Lety probably walked 10 miles coordinating a beautiful wedding at Morton Arboretum. She was unflappable, warm, and professional. Having her weaving together all the details gave me freedom to concentrate on the family, the sound system, special musicians, and guests prior to and after the ceremony. The Event Chicago made it possible for me to officiate the couple's wedding without background worry. Thank you, Lety!

Thanks, Pastor Jane! It was a true pleasure working with you!
Hands down, the best decision we made during the wedding planning process was hiring Lety for the day of coordinator services! From the very beginning, when she sent us her brochure of info, we knew she was organized, had an eye for styling, and understood the importance of remembering that it is OUR day, not our guests’ ! She was patient, had amazing suggestions, and was overall there every moment of the day to make sure my partner and I were enjoying ourselves! There was an issue with our party bus being 1.5 hrs late and she problem solved so quickly! Veronica, one of her team members was also there for our special day and we LOVED her! Her personality, her energy, was so amazing! She was there to hold my flowers, fix my dress, and have drinks ready for us! My family was hesitant on us having a coordinator, but after it was done, they agreed that they were an amazing team!!! We truly do not think we could have done it all without them both!!! Please hire them!! You will not regret it!!

Thank you, Krizia! We had such a blast being a part of your special day!
I cannot express how grateful I am for Lety & Veronica’s incredible support on our special day. They were not only punctual but also incredibly thoughtful and caring throughout the entire experience. It truly felt like they made the day all about us, ensuring every detail was perfect. Their ability to handle any unexpected issues behind the scenes was remarkable. I didn't even notice when something wasn't going as planned because they fixed it seamlessly. Our wedding day was a dream come true, thanks to their expertise and dedication.

Thank you, Mayra! The pleasure was all ours!!
Lety and her team will make your wedding dreams come true! They had everything covered and helped me be able to really enjoy my wedding. It was amazing!

Thank you, Michelle! Sending so much love!
My husband and I contracted The Event Chicago’s day-of coordination and event styling services for our wedding, and we were so impressed by Lety and her team. We were able to enjoy our wedding day without worrying about the logistics (i.e., dealing with vendors) or stressing over last-minute changes to our schedule. They helped our day run smoothly and brought our vision to life! From the morning-of and to the conclusion of our beautiful reception, Lety and her team went above and beyond to ensure our wedding day was everything we wanted and more—it was truly about us! I will definitely return to The Event Chicago for future events as I know I can trust them to execute everything perfectly—down to the smallest details. I am forever grateful to have booked them for our special day. We couldn’t recommend them enough!

Thank you, Marina! Sending so much love!
I am so thankful to Lety and The Event Chicago for the phenomenal work that they did! Lety and her team helped make our day memorable and stress free! From the very beginning Lety was beyond helpful and patient with my 101 questions! She not only referred vendors but she was also very easy to work with! I was already excited to work with them because they are Latina owned and I knew that working with someone who understood my culture would in itself be very helpful. The team took my inspiration pictures and brought them to life!
Lety, Xiomara and Veronica were all so professional and friendly! Without their help and hard work I'm not sure our day would have ran so smoothly. They were courteous and just full of energy themselves! I can not say thank you enough!

Thanks, Francisca!
The Event team did a wonderful job on our daughter's Quinceanera this past weekend. Very well organized and extremely professional in the way they interacted with my family, guests and vendors.
Team put in a lot of thoughtful details in everything that they touched, from the way the venue was set up to the timeline.
Communication from the beginning was top notch. Lety was always available for texts, phone calls, emails, and in person meetings when needed. Lety would always respond promptly.
We can't thank Lety and team enough for helping our day go smoothly.
Most of all, we appreciate how professional The Event team was, kept to the time schedule and made sure my daughter's dream Quince came true.
Highly Recommend.

Thank you, Aydala! It was such a pleasure to get to work with you and Chloe! Still thinking of her fabulous day!
Letty was my day of coordinator and she was amazing! She did such a good job even well before my wedding day! I also rented the big mirror and it looked beautiful all my guests were complementing it. She made my wedding vision come to life and I couldn’t be any happier with how everything turned out! Plus she’s super sweet and a pleasure to work with! I would definitely recommend!

Kristin! Thank you so much for allowing me to be a part of your special day! Loved getting to celebrate you & Matt.
The Event Chicago went above and beyond for us, from the year letting up through the end of our big day. We can’t thank them enough for allowing us to enjoy our wedding day to the fullest, without having to stress about anything. Both Lety and Xiomara were on top of every detail to make sure everything came out perfectly. They made wedding planning a breeze with answering every single question we had no matter what time of the day it was. I will highly recommend to all of our friends and family for any wedding or event!
Response from the Vendor on 11/22/2022
Thank you, Andrea! Getting to work with you & Jason was a highlight! Such a fun wedding. Thank you for trusting us!
Lety and The Event Chicago helped plan our wedding for 10/1/22 starting around March of 2021. We can’t imagine how lost we would have been without them planning the wedding. We had a vision of exactly how we wanted everything to be and Lety was able to see it clearly with us. Our family and friends are still raving about the day and the beautiful experience they had. Lety felt like a best friend who wanted to do everything she could to make our wedding a success. She listened to us and gave great advice and connections along the way. The wedding day ended bittersweet because we realized it was the end of our contract and we felt like a family friend was moving away. We will forever recommend her and the business to anyone planning any party. We are forever grateful to her!
Response from the Vendor on 11/22/2022
Lance & Eddie! The pleasure was all ours. Planning your wedding was such a dream! Thank you so much for trusting us to bring your vision to life.
Thanks to Lety & Veronica I was able to be fully present and enjoy my entire wedding day. I spent over a year planning my wedding on my own so I knew I would need help the day of. Hiring them as my day of coordinator was one of the best decisions I have ever made. I wanted my mom and bridesmaids to enjoy the day with me as well so it was such a relief to know I had someone dedicated to helping me all day. While everyone was putting their dresses on, Lety was there to help me put on mine. She left a few buttons undone so my mom can finish with the photographer. While I took photos, Lety made sure to take all the ceremony items with her, placed my overnight bag on the party bus, and even locked the doors to my house. When we got to the church, she made sure everything was where it needed to be and helped make sure my now husband didn't see me when I walked into the church. Veronica was alongside her making sure we had everything in place for the ceremony. At the reception, Veronica made sure everything setup perfectly and checked on me throughout the evening. She facilitated the dollar dance, placed all of our receptions items including some flowers into our bridal suite, and kept us on track with our timeline. My wedding day was perfect and I am so happy I was able to enjoy it with the help of these women.

Thanks, Megan! Thank you so much for letting us be a part of your special day! Veronica and I enjoyed spending every minute with you, Adrian, and your wedding party. Wishing you a lifetime of happiness!
The Event helped us plan our destination event in Paris, France this year and it turned out perfect! From day one, Lety was hands on with every detail, big and small, making sure that all would lead to a beautiful and successful event. My husband and I were very impressed with her ability to maneuver all negotiations with our vendors despite the distance and language barriers given that our event was international. She saved us so much time and effort by handling all communication and sorting of terms/conditions with all vendors which in turn made planning our event more enjoyable because we could focus on the fun stuff! Additionally, we appreciated how much The Event looks out for their client's best interests. Lety and her team are very deliberate about keeping things fair and clear. If something doesn't add up or seem right, Lety is quick to let you know. That made us feel like we were in good hands and trust her advice throughout the entire process. Communication is also excellent! I always received a prompt response. Lety and her team are super professional and reliable. I can go on and on describing all the reasons why The Event is the best event planning company in the Chicagoland area (and beyond!) but I will end with this: If I had to go back, I would choose The Event a million times! I cannot imagine anyone else besides Lety to be able to handle such a large scale event like ours. If she can successfully plan an event from thousands of miles away with different components coming in from different countries around the world, then she and her team can do anything!! Hiring The Event was the #1 best choice we could have made. We will forever be grateful to Lety and her team for all the time, hard work, and care that was put into making sure that our event was beautiful and utter perfection!
Response from the Vendor on 03/09/2024
Thank you, Elizabeth!! Truly one of our most memorable days; wish we could do it all over again!
One of our biggest concerns when wedding planning was day of coordination. We wanted to make sure our families enjoyed our special day as did we. We were lucky enough to find Lety. She was communicative and professional as well as her assistant. She also brought our memory table and welcome station vision to life! The biggest plus was that she speaks Spanish---so she was able to communicate with our parents. Day of coordinator is A MUST for your wedding day. Book The Event Chi for a memorable night!

Thank you Martiza & Ismael! It was such a pleasure to work with you!
We hired Lety as our day of coordinator for our wedding recently and it was one of the best decisions that we made in regards to the wedding. She was extremely helpful and available to answer any of our questions and concerns leading up to the big day. On the day of the wedding, I honestly don't know how we would have handled everything without her and her lovely assistant Xiomara. They were quick to think on their feet when challenged with last minute questions and issues and helped our day run smoothly. In addition to day of services, the Event also offers a variety of event planning services. I definitely plan to work with Lety and the Event in the future.

Thank you Mayra! We appreciate this so much. It was a beautiful day from beginning to end!
Lety and her team were amazing on our wedding day. They handled every little hiccup flawlessly and made sure that everything was executed exactly how we had planned. I always tell people that I come across to hire a day of coordinator for their big day because of the experience I had with this team. 10/10 recommend!

Thank you, Cassandra!
The Event, especially Lety (day of coordinator) was amazing! I couldn’t of stayed and enjoyed the wedding without her taking care of all the last minute decisions that needed to be made. She took care of everything from rooms, church our schedule, tips and watching over the envelopes. Oh, and of course the brides outfit change! I’m sorry, I didn’t hire her in the beginning of the wedding planning. She could of giving me more advice and had the schedule down from the beginning. Thank you again Lety! You were the best and did it with a smile on your face. ❤️

Thank you, Tamie! The pleasure was all ours. We appreciate your kind words.
We hired the ladies from The Event for our day of coordinator for our wedding. We knew from 2 years prior we had to have them be part of our special day. Besides being affordable and flexible with payment, Lety was professional, warm, friendly, organized and such a leader. Everything we needed to make sure our day went as planned as possible. She shared her thoughts, provided feedback, took charge but also reminded us it was our day and in the end we had to be happy. Lety and her team provided our timeline and forwarded that to all our vendors to make sure everyone was on the same page. On the day of, her team were there for anything I needed. Examples include keeping us all on schedule, getting the bridal party organized, carrying payments and tips for vendors, holding my phone/keys, touching up my hair in the bridal suite after getting caught in rain, helping me switch into more comfortable shoes, keeping all gifts and cards safe, storing our centerpieces and big decorative pieces for easy clean up at the end of the party. I mean, anything you can think they did and were always one step ahead. I didn't know what a day of coordinator was and what they did and now that I do, I'm so glad they were there. All the stress was gone and the day just seemed easy. Thank you again Lety and big big thanks to your team. I would definitely recommend. Book them! You'll be glad you did.
