Testimonials
When you hire Charlene as your day of coordinator, you get more than just someone who is there the day of and coordinates people but you get a whole breadth of services prior to the wedding. Charlene is amazingly detailed, easy to talk too, always available and a complete professional... The tools and documents Charlene provided are great to use and make life so much easier. All my vendors raved about how thorough Charlene was and great to work with. The day of she kept things going, addressing issues, organizing things, ensuring we were on track with timing, and most of all making sure we were relaxed, happy, and enjoyed our day. What more could you ask for?! Charlene was one of the best investments we could have made and I highly recommend her!

Testimonials
Robyn is very pleasant to work with. Her organization and tact is superb. She provided suggestions and feedback that we would never have thought of. It was such a comfort to have her behind the scenes and ensuring everything was under control. No detail went unnoticed. I am so grateful to have had her expertise on such an important day in our lives.
Kristin & Jon - 10.15.2011
Robyn offered suggestions and gave advice to make my vision come to fruition. I never felt like she wasn't continually planning, which helped me feel relaxed and calm. As my event date approached, I grew a bit anxious of the unexpected, but the end result was AWESOME! All of the vendors she recommended were reliable and delivered exactly what I wanted.

Feeling overwhelmed by wedding planning? Help is only a click away! Wedding consultants specialize in handling the details, vendors, timelines, and to-do lists that can make even the most organized bride need a vacation!

Most wedding consultants offer at least two levels of planning service: Full Service and Day-of Coordination. A full service wedding planner will help you design your theme, create your budget, select your venue, hire your vendors, negotiate contracts, organize your rehearsal, arrange all the last-minute details, and make sure your wedding day itself is flawless. A day-of coordinator will typically meet with you 3-4 weeks before your wedding to help finalize the wedding day timeline, then will orchestrate the day itself. When you hire a day-of wedding planner, you are still personally responsible for selecting and orchestrating your vendors, details, and rehearsal.Girl Flowergirl Art Chicago Wedding Coordinator Planner

Tips for finding your consultant:

  • Look for a good personality fit. You will be working with your wedding planner during many stressful moments, and you want someone at your side that you like and respect.
  • Discuss any expectations you have up front and before signing a contract. For example, if you are hiring a full service wedding planner, how often do you expect to get together in person? How accessible do you expect him or her to be via phone? What are the decisions you are responsible for making on your own? How will they communicate with you during the months leading up to the wedding day to ensure that everything is happening on schedule?
  • There is no substitute for experience. Find out the number of weddings the consultant has planned, the number of years in business, and the experience he or she may have had at your venue.
  • If you have any unique cultural elements to your wedding, make sure your consultant is familiar with the customs.
  • Beopen and honest with your consultant. If you can share your concerns or fears regarding the wedding, they will be best prepared to orchestrate the day perfectly.
  • Be realistic. A consultant can make your life much, much easier, but they can’t make all the decisions for you, or make your crazy uncle behave at the wedding, or persuade your single groomsmen to stop hitting on the bridesmaids. When it finally arrives, just relax and enjoy your day!
