You Name It Events

bright and bubbly personality combined with her impressive wealth of knowledge and words of confidence gave us hope. We knew we would be in good hands no matter where the path took us. Sure enough, we through her a curveball and decided to uproot our initial plans for a wedding in Chicago and instead plan a destination wedding in California. Leanne was up for the challenge and did not disappoint! With every interaction, she lended a listening ear to understand our vision, asked essential questions to lead us in the right direction, and gave us all of the considerations to take into account. She was persistent in her research and finding the vendors that would be essential in executing on our vision and she was patient as we contemplated all of the decisions we were making. She had our full trust and delivered in a way beyond what we imagined when it finally came to our wedding day and bringing our vision to life. It was absolutely beautiful and simply perfect. But what impressed us the most was in the moments we missed; the way in which Leanne cared for our guests to ensure they had the most beautiful time celebrating, observing their experience and acting in the moment when needed without skipping a beat. We think the absolute world of Leanne and are forever grateful for her role in not only our dream wedding but for our memorable journey along the way. It was all that we hoped for and more than we could have imagined.

planning package since we had most of our vendors already hired. Our biggest concern was our timeline and making sure everything went smoothly on our wedding day. Leanne and her team went above and beyond our expectations. We literally did not have to worry about a single thing. Our day was almost completely stress free. I have to say almost because what wedding does not have at least a little bit of drama? Our wedding cake almost ended up on the dance floor because the cable of the floating cake stand snapped but Leanne and her team were still able to display our cake beautifully. We also did a Korean tea ceremony during our cocktail hour, which Leanne and her team did not have any experience with until our wedding. You would have never guessed that was the case. Leanne is really thorough and organized. There were things and questions that she thought of for our day that I did not even think about. The day was so well planned between Leanne and I that we actually ended up being ahead of schedule all day! Everything turned out better than I expected. It was also so nice to have my vendors go to her if they had any questions about schedule or where things needed to placed or any damage control that needed to be handled which allowed my now husband and I to enjoy our special day. You Name It Events was worth every penny and more! I highly recommend them to assist you with planning and coordinating your big special day.

a theme, to selecting the decor, to determining the perfect venue, all the way through set up and clean up.... she does it ALL with a smile. Always professional and wonderful to be around - I attribute the success of my event to You Name it Events!

r. Her professionalism, knowledge, and (best of all) great sense of style, knock it out of the park every time. She has put together a great team, and their ability to get things done, especially under pressure, are indispensable, especially on one of the most important days of your life. I didn't realize how important it was going in to have someone who can handle all the details for you so you can enjoy the day. 5 stars all the way! And if you haven't yet, check out their beautiful website.

he came early to set up and it was perfect when we arrived. Even the little touches like playing music from her day softly in the background was an extra nice bonus. All the guests had a great time and my mother-in-law was so happy. Thank you, You Name It Events, for making her birthday so memorable.

ding over the little important details to Leanne. I can't thank her enough for executing the day better than we could have imagined!

g wedding planners and everyone pointed me to Name It Events. On my discovery call wth Leanne i knew right away I wanted to book her. She was so nice and super knowledgeable. I booked her immediately. Over the course of the year Leanne was very responsive to my questions over email and always willing to jump on a quick call. We had a few meetings leading up to the wedding to make sure we were organized and ready to go day of. When the wedding day came Leanne and her team blew my expectations out of the water. I don’t think we could have done it without her. I highly recommend her to anyone looking!

any and all questions that I threw at her - and boy there were a lot of them. The last month leading up to the wedding was a whirlwind. Leanne's calming presence was welcomed and necessary. We felt as though Leanne was there every step of the way in the weeks leading up to the special day. There was no question that went unanswered or "uh oh" that Leanne was phased by. It was clear throughout the process we had made the right decision hiring a wedding planner but the day of our wedding made it almost feel like destiny. We did not hire just a wedding planner, we hired You Name It Events and Leanne Valdes. Our wedding day was flawless (at least to me it was). Yes, we put a TON of our own efforts into a vision. Yes, it was months of planning and wishing and hoping it would come to fruition. But honestly, Leanne and her team executed on every aspect of our day flawlessly. She dedicates the time and care necessary to remember the details and make sure YOUR day feel as special as she'd want HER day to be. We cannot thank You Name It Events and Leanne enough. Don't even think on this decision - just hire You Name It Events!

also means that we wanted details that were truly us... cue when Leanne comes in! Not only did she give us feedback and mainstream our ideas, but she is a great sounding board for things that have worked in the past and ways to make it your own. Also, the day of my wedding she was wonderful! I trusted her to make decisions for me since she knew my vision and my style. I actually was able to relax on my wedding day and enjoy all the details we had put in place. Since I had hired Leanne, my family was also able to enjoy the wedding day because they knew I was relaxed. All the things that she took care of (handing out tips, keeping time and managing schedule, creating timeline etc) are all details that would have landed on my family to be in charge of if she was not there. Now with my friends planning their own weddings, the first piece of advice I tell is to hire Leanne!

tate. My parents were wonderfully helpful and involved, but from day one we knew we needed a wedding planner to help us coordinate everything. I will never forget my first meeting with Leanne (on a short week break from PA school) where I literally just balled in Leanne's office being completely overwhelmed by the whole process. She held my hand through every step of the process though and made planning a wedding from afar so much simpler. The day of the wedding, Leanne felt like a member of our family and she helped to ameliorate a few major issues that occurred due to other vendors mistakes on the day of our wedding. She and her two assistants were flawless with their execution and did a phenomenal job. The week of the wedding they took care of everything and I didn't have to lift a finger. I am thrilled that me, my groom, and my parents could just relax and enjoy that momentous time without worrying about the details. I am now, after the wedding, happy to call Leanne a dear friend. Future brides, do you and your families an incredible favor and hire leanne. There simply is no one better in Chicago!

ldn't have put on our perfect day without her. It started out with her providing me with stellar referrals for my vendors. She then provided me with some amazing tools to help me stay organized. I had some pretty unique ideas for decor and she helped every single one of them come to life even when I woke up in the middle of the night thinking I was crazy. She worked many hours on bringing those crazy ideas to life and I am forever grateful. After all of that, she helped us put on the best party ever. I am what you would call an extreme type-A person and you have to believe me when I say that I did not experience one second of stress on the day of our wedding. Leanne took care of everything. I plan on recommend Leanne and You Name It Events to everyone I know.

orth it! He was her biggest fan and she helped with way more then I ever thought I needed help with. From finding vendors, to corresponding to emails the week of my wedding because I was sick, to making sure she knew family members names, and bustling my dress. She was a jack of all trades on the wedding day and because of her there were absolutely no bumps in the road. Leanne is amazing at what she does and I couldn't be more grateful for everything she did for us to make sure my day was picture perfect!

ut having a care in the world. As a bride that is worth its weight in gold! Leanne is worth every penny and we feel like she is part of the family after guiding us through such an important day. My mother raved about her and our groomsmen kept thanking us for her having such an amazing Day of Coordinator. We would definitely hire for any future events. Thank you Leanne and team for your AMAZING help on our wedding day!!

. We were going back and forth about hosting the wedding at a big venue or just going to church by ourselves and calling it a day. Leanne came up with the perfect plan that never crossed our minds. We did the who shebang but on a much smaller scale and it was perfect. We decided to host dinner in the Sears Tower. The views were breath taking. It was intimate, relaxing and beautiful beyond our dreams. The décor blew our minds. Leanne thought of and prepared for everything. Not a detail was missed from how to walk down the aisle to ordering the most romantic flower arrangement I’ve ever seen. She considered our needs and wants and gave us a wedding meant for us. She responded as promptly as possible with detailed information and went the extra mile. If it weren’t for her we would not have had the success we had in properly communicating to the vendors what we wanted to see out them. She has the lingo down, knowledge and years of experience that many of us do not have. She knew what services were within their scope and how to achieve what we wanted. Throughout the process she informed us of options we didn’t know existed. She took the images we had in our heads and went beyond them. Hire Leanne and enjoy your wedding like you deserve to instead of running around going from one task to another and another. This was the best investment we made for the wedding. She put all our hard-earned money to good use. But, she gave us the one thing that mattered the most- time to enjoy our company on our wedding day which oftentimes doesn’t happen without a planner.

ue making sure everything was set up just as I imagined. She was also super helpful in suggestion things and posing questions that I had never even thought of. You can tell she's a pro! Definitely recommend!

accommodate all of our needs. Would recommend them to anyone!

y thorough and detailed and thought of things that we hadn't even realized that we needed to consider. Leanne helped to coordinate with all of our vendors and ensure that the entire day ran smoothly. She took care of so many of the little things you don't think of, like bringing our card holder and guestbook to our room at the end of the night. She was professional and fun to work with and having her allowed us to enjoy our day and not have to worry about anything!

n I was overwhelemd. When it came time for our big day, her & her team did more than I could have ever asked for. It was perfect! I was able to relax & enjoy the best day of my life while they did all of the behind the scenes (setting up, picking up, keeping me hydrated & pinning my torn dress from dancing!) Not only was I impressed, but the guests & vendors also complemented them. Highly recommended!!!

he was AMAZING! She also helped with our timeline and asked poignant questions we had no idea how to answer -- and she helped with that too! Honestly, we would be the one's worrying if a vendor did not showed up . We didn't have to WORRY with Leanne in charge - she took care of every detail. If you have the opportunity to start your wedding from the beginning with Leanne - then do it! Realize that your wedding party - they are really just there as guests..... they need to be in the photos - and are not going to run around for last minute things that you need. We can't thank Leanne enough! ALSO -- Leanne took photos and shared them with us right away -- and they were very artistic photos - and we are so pleased to have them. THANK YOU!!!!

day of my wedding. They were professional, organized and lots of fun to work with. It allowed me to enjoy the wedding day so much more knowing they were handling all of the details big and small. I worked with Leanne, the owner, during the early planning stages and was so impressed with her dedication and genuine excitement over her client’s plans.

nything to us. From the beginning Leanne helped to direct our thinking allowing us focus our time and money on things what would help us create our vision. We selected the “Day- of” package, but corresponded with Leanne several times on things we couldn’t possibly have known on our own since we aren’t in the industry. Our wedding was a DYI event and my husband and I put in countless hours to ensure every detail would be ready leading into the day. On the day of the wedding, Leanne’s team took over and her staff of 3 stayed there the full time ensuring every detail was perfect. After the event we were able to head out and meet friends for the after party instead of worrying about clean-up. Our budget was small and at first we were nervous about the extra cost of a wedding coordinator but looking back I don’t think we could have executed such a perfect day without the extra help from YNIE.

d details that require you're attention and stress you out when you should be enjoying this time. Having Leanne was a godsend! I have a very stressful and time consuming job and with few vacation days to use I couldn't take time off before the wedding with the honeymoon we had planned. Leanne kept me sane and was able to contact and coordinate all my various vendors and have everyone on the same page and have the day run incredibly smoothly, despite the curve ball mother nature threw that day. She was able to get all our details set up in our reception and ceremony space perfectly so that everyone could relax and visit during the day. I would say investing in a coordinator was one of the best decisions we made for the wedding and You Name It did an amazing job!

had peace of mind that all of my hard work planning would be taken care of. Hiring You Name It will be the best investment for your event so you can truly enjoy it and know that everything will go smooth!

exactly what we needed to host our employees. I have the utmost respect for Leanne and what she offers and gives to a day memories will be made.

helped make this big day the most beautiful, most special of our lives. We can't thank her and Marie enough for decorating, directing, guiding, and assisting in all manner things during our chaotic planing process! An additional 1000 points for finding my "something blue" on the bathroom floor (a piece of my sister's childhood blankie that had been tucked into my wedding dress) and for saving it for me when she realized what it was. I would have been devastated, so Leanne is ACTUALLY my hero. xo

control of everything the day of. Dan, my mom, and I were all so thankful she was there! Everything went perfect. Thank you Leanne!

ticularly after spending over a year planning our wedding. Her attention to detail and genuine concern to ensure everything ran smoothly and according to plan were incredible. She really takes a lot of time to understand your "vision" and what's important to you - she also has impeccable taste, and I felt so comfortable handing the reigns over to her to execute on our wedding day - which she did flawlessly. She made 3 separate trips downtown (for the walk through, rehearsal and of course the wedding day), and everything ran like clockwork! It was also so helpful to have a single point of contact for all of the other vendors & handles any problems that arise. She's basically the Olivia Pope of wedding planners/coordinators! :) Best of all, I was actually able to enjoy our wedding day & knew that my family and bridal party was able to as well since Leanne was behind the scenes taking care of all the details (e.g. collecting our cards, gifts, personal items, extra wine, my veil, bouquet, cake! and taking it back to the hotel for us - that was such a huge help not to worry about!) The piece of mind alone to know that you will be able to have fun on the day you've spent SO much time (& money!) pulling together makes having a day-of coordinator ABSOLUTELY worth it. Thank you so much to Leanne & her team - I'm so glad I heard about you guys & will be forever grateful for all you did to make our day so special & memorable!

ls and deliveries with our vendors to be sure everything ran smoothly. They truly made it so that we did not have to worry about anything on the day of our wedding, just enjoy it. We would HIGHLY recommend using them for your wedding needs!

the wedding, she was very prompt, friendly, and thoughtful. She is the main reason why our wedding went off without a hitch. We had about 12 vendors and Leanne helped coordinate delivery and pick up times with all of them. We ran out of beer and whiskey after the cocktail hour-- because our friends & family were a little thirsty-- and Leanne helped us out of that mess. She really went above and beyond what she was hired to do and we can't thank her enough! She even made sure that my mom was taken care of the night of the wedding! I would recommended hiring Leanne for any event that you're thinking of planning. If you don't have an event coming up, make one! Thank you Leanne! You are the BEST

Enter YouNameIt Events. Leanne and her crew were awesome! My wife and I cannot say enough good things about our experience with these kind, professional, and fun people. Leanne was always an email, text, or phone call away with answers any and all of our questions. She and her group were instrumental in helping us find the rehearsal dinner location, numerous vendors for anything we wanted, as well as helping us organize and maximize our experience. YNI Events worked seamlessly with all of our many vendors, photographers, videographers, etc and kept everyone on the ball the entire time. Such attention to detail definitely paid off as our wedding weekend ran like a well-oiled machine. We were all able to enjoy the experience without having to worry about a single thing. Not only were they were helpful beyond measure, but we also developed a personal bond with them through the process. It truly was like having additional friends around to help out at every turn. Their attention to detail and to their clients is apparent upon meeting them. They truly want your event to be as special in execution as it is in your head. I would highly recommend YNI to anyone looking to take the stress out of their wedding or other event planning.

itial consultation with Leanne back in the spring. What struck me about her is how she actually seemed to care about us as a couple and the wedding we were trying to put together. We let her know what services we really cared about and she helped us pick out a package. I was looking for a day of coordinator to set up decorations for me, help me manage the timeline of the day and mitigate a last minute crisis if necessary. When we booked YNI, since we were the first wedding on that day, we were told that Leanne would be doing our wedding. Just as a note, if you are getting married during more popular times of the year, you may have a different lead coordinator. After our initial consultation, we booked YNI for our day of coordination. After that, if I ever had any wedding questions, I was able to reach out to Leanne. About two months out, we scheduled an initial walkthrough of our wedding venue with Leanne. She pointed out a TON of things that we had forgotten about. Luckily she had us do this far enough out that we had plenty of time to figure everything out before the wedding day. About a month out, Leanne sent us paperwork to help us get organized for the day of the wedding. YNI has great templates to help you stay organized and see if you are missing any of the pieces (timeline template, vendor contacts, wedding contacts, etc). Then finally about two weeks out, we did a final details meeting and a final venue walkthrough. Throughout the entire process, I felt that Leanne and her team were very organized and knowledgeable about the wedding industry. This is my first wedding so there were a lot of random, small wedding things I had questions about and Leanne always had the answer for me. On the day of the wedding, Leanne helped us keep on track while getting ready in the morning. She made sure the wedding ceremony went smoothly. After the ceremony, Leanne and her team went over to the venue and set up all our decorations for us (and there were a lot). She also made sure that all vendors were present and accounted for. When my bustle broke during the wedding, Leanne was right there to provide a solution. At the end of the night, Leanne helped pack and load up all the decorations as well. Honestly, our wedding could not have gone any better. Leanne helped us get organized before the wedding and kept the day running smoothly. I was never bothered with anything during my wedding day and I can honestly say it was money very well spent. Hiring a day of coordinator was one of the best things that we did for our wedding and I highly recommend Leanne and the team at YNI.

anges due to unforeseen circumstances and she was amazing and made me feel at ease about it all. I highly recommend Leanne and her team to anyone planning a wedding!

r our vendors and helped us navigate the negotiating process with our contracts. She even helped us problem-solve when minor issues popped up (as they inevitably do). It truly was a pleasure working with Leanne. My husband and I were able to enjoy our entire day without any worries.

ed the exact look that we had envisioned. The entire event ran smoothly from setup to takedown. Their expertise allowed me to feel like a guest at my daughter's wedding! I did not worry about a thing! One final bonus....they loaded all decorations and gifts into my car at the end of the evening! They handled everything!

ant to get a lot done to organizing everything the day of so we didn't have to be extra stressed, she helped out with so much! She was always quick to respond to emails or jump on the phone leading up to the wedding when I had questions or needed advice on something. Her communication was excellent. On the day of, Leanne and her team of 3 other girls set up our ceremony and reception room and it looked absolutely beautiful! She sent me pictures throughout the day while getting ready of how things were coming along which I thought was great! I would highly recommend her to help out if you are planning a wedding from out of town but even if you are local there are so many things that she can help out with! A+ rating for Leanne and her team at You Name It Events!

then by Riccardo Muti himself. Leanne's detailed planning of the day's events help make this a perfect Wedding Day for our daughter and son-in-law. What we really thought was most impressive was Leanne's ability to "think outside the box" and be ready with a contingency plan in the event that one was needed. You can't be this good unless you have seasoned experience and a great staff. Thanks again Leanne for making this an unforgettable day for the Bride's parents. You feel like part of our family now. Mr. and Mrs. Viola

alterations and changes to the look of the dress, I called Leanne in a panic. She referred me to a private seamstress who fixed my dress without any noticeable changes. This is what you get with Leanne. If you have problems, she gets them fixed. Our wedding day was perfect and her staff were kind, courteous, and professional. We didn't have to worry about a thing the entire day. We both agreed it was by far the best money we spent on our event. We recommend anyone looking for a full wedding planner or day of coordinator to contact You Name It Events.

I had my doubts... But, hiring Leanne was the best money spent on the wedding. She was incredible! Leanne has a really awesome system going. She is also incredibly sweet, caring, and her passion for her work shows. I don't have enough space in this review to list all of the incredible things Leanne did to ensure that our wedding day went smoothly. In a nutshell, she did it all: set up and broke down all of our intricate decorations, miraculously appeared when I needed anything, hung back when things were going smoothly, and thanks to her the entire wedding party was able to kick back and enjoy the special day! I will never forget my mothers words the morning after our wedding: "She is an angel." That's right you guys, my mom called Leanne an angel. I will never forget her amazing service on the day of my wedding and will be recommending her to all of my friends and family. Thanks Leanne!!

en there things would have fallen to pieces! We didn't even notice most of the mishaps thanks to their hard work. They even made a last minute root beer run when the caterer forgot! She is super organized and made it easy to hand everything off.

ell-organized atmosphere. They also commented that it was the BEST shower they have ever attended. I could not have been happier with how the day went. Thanks for a memorable day!

o making sure that the logistics were organized. Her expertise and thoroughness was more than I could have asked for. You Name It Events offers different levels of assistance, to fit the need of each bride. I chose the option that helped me plan the day from the beginning, and while there were options that offered more or less assistance, this worked for me in offering me all of the advice that I needed. Leanne and her team then took complete charge that day and made sure that everything was as it should be. As a manager in my career, I am used to taking the lead and worrying about the details, but Leanne and her team were able to handle everything and made my wedding day a truly memorable and enjoyable experience.

of convincing him to trust me on it, on the day of our wedding he had proclaimed that hiring Leanne was the best money we spent on our wedding. I could not agree more. Leanne and her associate Danielle were the fairy godmothers of our wedding day. They were highly detailed oriented in the days leading up to the event, covering all bases and getting questions answered ahead of time to make sure everyone knew what they were doing on the wedding day. They anticipated our needs flawlessly and followed-through with everything perfectly. They are masters of logistics, communicating with and coordinating all vendors, putting out fires, and keeping things on a timeline. Even with our large, rowdy traditional downtown wedding, they were able to reign it all in and make sure everything flowed perfectly. Leanne is the consummate professional--easy to work with and on top of every last detail...doing it all with a smile. Speaking from my experience, I can honestly say she is the perfect person to work with for a downtown Chicago wedding. I wish I could hire her to coordinate my entire life.

r way- even on the wedding day itself. I am beyond grateful for how she responded to each situation. She was firm when needed (while still remaining professional), kept my husband and I informed, and always had a smile no matter what. Her services were also a great value. I was quoted significantly more from several other places for packages that included less services. She was flexible and helped us create an "in between package" that fit our exact needs. I wouldn't hesitate to use her again for another event, she (and her team) were exactly what we wanted and needed. Thanks Leanne!

access to and we were having the ceremony and reception at the same place. I thought we could do all by ourselves, as long as we hired good vendors to do everything else (Catering, DJ, Officiant, Photographer, Bakery, Florist, etc). But as every groom to be should know by now, don't stand in the way of your bride to be! So as you can see, we hired Leanne and she provided us with an array of services to choose from. As the day of our wedding came closer and closer, I finally began to see the value in hiring a wedding planner, especially Leanne. It finally dawned on me that we didn't just hire a wedding planner; we hired Leanne, a complete wedding professional who made sure that every detail of our wedding "weekend" was communicated with all our vendors and executed flawlessly. The bride and groom and their friends and family deserve the freedom of not having to worry about all the details. There is no way you can do it yourself. Have fun and savor your day. It’s going to go by really fast, so leave the worrying to your wedding planner. There is no way we could have had such a wonderful wedding without the help of Leanne, so if you think you can do it all yourselves, think again!

e with experience to help things go smoothly and avoid mistakes. I’m glad I did. Leanne Valdes was a cheerful and reassuring partner in the process. She patiently answered all of my questions. She gave vendor recommendations and much-needed advice on invitations, an area more complicated than I expected. She visited the venue with me in advance, and made sure that all the details were in place for the reception. The week of the wedding, she sat with us and reviewed the plans again, making sure we were not overlooking anything. Danielle kept us organized at the Rehearsal, and made sure everyone knew their roles. Leanne and Danielle were with us throughout the day of the wedding. They did much of the communications with the hotel staff and vendors, and directed the ceremony from behind the scenes. At the reception, they again made sure that we were on schedule and that everything and everyone was where they should be. They looked after the gifts and envelopes, and made sure they were secure. I realized that the day was going so fast, that they allowed me to enjoy it, without having to worry about managing everything. I did not have to cart and place supplies for the reception, or track down people for photos, or worry about transporting gifts. My daughter and I were so glad they were there to make the day stress-free, and a complete success!

e day of the actual wedding was absolutely invaluable! Leanne made sure everything flowed easily from one thing to the next, and nothing important got missed. She helped from the very beginning of the day, getting the little kids ready and making sure the bridal party left for the Church on time. Then, when little things came up during the reception (running late, ice cream arriving at a different time than we thought, etc), Leanne was there with a solution for everything! She was even able to help sew up my dress when someone accidentally stepped on it!!! And then at the end of the night, she and her team made sure everything was all packed up and sent home with the correct people. I can't imagine how things would have gone without her, and am so happy that she and her team were there to help make our wedding day a dream come true. I definitely highly recommend her, it's totally worth the money to have the piece of mind that everything will be taken care of so you can concentrate on enjoying your special day. Thanks for all your amazing work, Leanne!!! :)

ice range, and negotiated pricing when we needed her to. The day of our wedding everything went perfectly!!! Leanne and her team managed everything so that my husband and I could live fully in the moment on our wedding day without any distractions. You Name It Events, made it so that even our closest family members could relax and enjoy the day rather than worrying about messy details. Beyond all the help with the wedding, Leanne was a joy to work with. We met with several other planners and she was by far the most personable and professional. I'm not the most organized person and she was always so patient in making sure everything got done. We would definitely recommend You Name It Events to our friends!

out appropriately. Leanne also helped us in the preparation leading up to the day with suggestions for venues, advice, and her expert opinion, which really helped us put together the perfect wedding!

ave done without her.

r when I contact Leanne she was very nice and gave me a lot of solutions and ways we could work from a different. She made my wedding planning experience a lot easier and I was able to have the wedding of my dream because of her help.

and centerpieces ourselves. When I first met You Name it at a wedding expo, I asked Leanne if I could hire her to set everything at our venue up and act as the day of coordinator. She said they would customize a package to exactly what I needed, and she did just that. I am a corporate event planner so I knew I could handle all of the details leading up to the wedding, but knowing she would be there to handle all of the details the day of, made me relax and actually enjoy the day. Leanne met with us and the venue representative the week before the wedding and gave me checklists and forms that made me smile. She thought of things I didn't even think of which really impressed me. We went over everything her team would be setting up and coordinating and while I was overwhelmed with everything, she took it with a smile. We chatted the day before the wedding and sorted a few things out. The day of arrived and they rocked everything! They did a lot of running around by picking up our flowers and bringing them to the venue. I'm not sure what else they did, but all I know is I got a video of everything they set up and it looked AWESOME!! And at least an hour before the guests were to arrive. It was all better than I expected! I forgot, I even emailed her while I was planning for some band recommendations. She emailed me back right away with some successful bands she works with. While I didn't use them, I still appreciate her going above and beyond for me. Overall, You Name it gave me a feeling of confidence that they could handle it. I never had to question my decision of hiring them, it just felt right. Leanne's attitude is awesome. If you can't get along with her as your coordinator, you are a mean person. She took everything I threw her way with a "yes" confident attitude. They were simply AMAZING!! I feel like I got a steal for everything they did. Well worth it!

th vendors. During the wedding, her and her crew made sure that everything was the way we wanted it. The ceremony was beautiful.

handled everything for us. We were able to relax and enjoy my daughters wedding day instead of thinking of how everything was going to flow and how to get everything done. She was worth way more than what we paid her! Don't have a wedding without her!

ography to the bakery & florist. She has extensive knowledge about each vendor which she provided to us in order to select which vendor would work best for us. She was also critical in putting together vendor contracts & making sure we were not only getting a fair price, but getting the level of service we wanted. In the end, Leanne saved us so much time & money in selecting our vendors. (The vendors she recommended were also all wonderful). The second major part of what Leanne & her team helped us with was coordinating the day of the wedding, which involved set-up, clean up, organization of the rehearsal/ceremony & reception, making sure our card box was secure, delivering flowers, etc. There was no task too small for her team - at one point I even caught them doing dishes at my parents house! They really went the extra mile to make sure that the day flowed perfectly. For example, when the limo arrived to bring the ladies to the church, the driver said he needed payment before leaving. This would have caused a lot of stress without having Leanne there to run to the bank & grab a cashier's check. Overall, I can't imagine not having Leanne there to help with everything. As someone who worries about the details, I was put at ease knowing that her team was there to take care of things. If asked if I would hire You Name It again, I would say absolutely with no hesitation. They are the best!!!

r wedding long-distance so it was invaluable to us to have someone on the ground who knew the lay of the land. She listened to every phone call and email, and always provided a solution. She connected us with high-quality vendors within our budget who fit our style. We had full confidence that our day would go smoothly because of her and her team, and it did - despite a raging thunderstorm during our ceremony, forcing us to go to plan B! We wouldn't be happier with how everything turned out and would recommend You Name It Events to anyone.

l in absolute awe at the fabulous job Leanne and her team did to help our wedding weekend go absolutely perfect and seamless! Our family and out of town guests were so pleased to have the You Name It team on board, because it allowed everyone to enjoy the wedding without any headaches or mishaps. Everyone is still talking about how helpful it was to have You Name It to assist with our wedding weekend. My husband and I live in NYC. We planned to have a Lake Michigan wedding in South Haven because I was born and raised in West Michigan. We planned to have a big city wedding in small town. We knew we would need assistance with planning from afar. Although, You Name It is located in Chicagoland, we are located in NYC, and our wedding was in Michigan there were no issues with distance. Leanne made multiple trips to Michigan when needed during the entire planning process. Leanne totally understood our vision for our 230 guests and she went above and beyond to make sure we were always happy through out the planning process till the day of our wedding. Her ability to be meticulous and detailed oriented is impeccable. Leanne remembers everything! Even on the day of the wedding when the Limo driver was late. Leanne solved the issue immediately without hesitation she called another company and made sure we had a beautiful back up limo and we were still on time to our ceremony! Hiring You Name It Events was by far one of the best purchases we made for our wedding! You Name It does everything with excellence they are truly the #1 one planning service to choose for your special day!
