o to make our dream wedding come true! Our day of coordinator, Jamie, was also a delight. So on top of every detail so that my husband and I could enjoy our day to the fullest.
We were lucky enough to have Mallory @ CHI Chic as our day-of coordinator. Mallory was extremely organized and prepared. Both she and her assistant were very professional, and won...
derfully helpful. We were so thankful that we went with CHI Chic for our wedding day!
My husband and I hired Mallory to help us with our June wedding at the AIC and it was the best decision we ever made. I don't know how to put into words how incredibly talented, pr...
ofessional, organized hardworking and kind Mallory is. The moment I met Mallory I knew she was our girl! Her high energy and positivity immediately took away my anxiety about wedding planning! My mom was pretty reluctant about hiring a wedding planner but within a few weeks of working with Mallory my mom couldn't stop talking about the fact that she has no idea how we would have planned the wedding without her. Our wedding was beyond our wildest dreams and we owe it all to Mallory's incredibly hard work.
1. She is incredibly knowledgeable - Mallory has so much experience in the industry and always had great recommendations and solutions to whatever roadblocks we ran into. She understands how all the players in the industry work together and helps to make sure that the planning process and day of will run as smoothly as possible.
2. She took all the hard work and stressful parts of wedding planning out of the equation for us so we could focus on fun stuff. From finding vendors and getting proposals to budgeting and making sure we were staying on track with vendor contracts and payments she was always SO on top of it all. We got all the vendors we wanted because Mallory made sure we were reaching out to them in a timely manner before they booked up. She is so organized and on top of things so we never had to worry about where we were at in the planning process or what we should be doing next.
3. Mallory doesn't just find great vendors, she finds vendors that are going to be great for YOU. She takes such a careful and personal approach to finding vendors that are right for your vision and budget. She truly created the most epic vendor dream team for us because she really took the time to understand how we envisioned each piece of our big day. Every vendor we worked with was above and beyond our wildest dreams and that is because Mallory took the time help us hand select the right team of people to execute our wedding day.
4. She helps with the hard conversations & decisions - Your wedding planner may have to be part of some intimate and maybe even touchy family conversations. Mallory not only made us feel comfortable discussing these things with her but she helped us work through solutions that would make everyone happy!
5. She is patient & resilient - Mallory never made us feel like we were being difficult or making things hard on her. She was so patient with us and no matter what task/challenge we threw at her she got it done or figured it out for us. She is truly one of the hardest working people I have ever met.
6. The most stress free wedding day - My mom and I are both pretty anxious, type A people and everyone (including ourselves) was pretty shocked at how relaxed we both were the entire day. We owe that all to Mallory. My husband and I and our families had not a single worry in the world because Mallory handled absolutely every last detail of the day and we were able to enjoy every moment together.
I could go on and on about how amazing Mallory is. I would hire here again and again in a heartbeat. On top of it all, Mallory became a good friend through the process because she was there as a sounding board and a person to vent to about literally EVERYTHING
We love you SO much, Mallory! Thank you for making our day an absolute dream come true!
One of the best pieces of advice we got for our wedding was to hire a day-of planner... We hit the jack pot with Chi Chic Weddings! Mal's team was incredibly organized, professiona...
l, and helpful. Mal was on top of every little detail. When it came to the big day, we were so excited and able to enjoy because we knew that with Mal's support nothing would fall through the cracks. Hands down, working with Chi Chic was one of the best investments we made for our wedding.
The person you choose as your day-of planner is SUPER important. Not only are they responsible for keeping you on top of the mountain of tasks that you have to accomplish leading up to the big day, but they spend the entire day with you. Their energy matters. You want someone who is upbeat, positive, who is making all the excitement you feel about your day even BIGGER than it already is. That is exactly what we got working with Mal and we could not have been happier! If you are looking for a planner, look no further!
Mallory is the best of the best. From the very start, she was incredibly professional, organized, and honest. She helped us through the entire process, and we couldn’t be happier...
with how our wedding day turned out—it was perfect! There was no stress, and I really got to enjoy the process because Mallory was so on top of everything. Mallory knows her stuff—down to the very last detail. She helped us pick all of the vendors that were a perfect fit for us, and if we did it again, we wouldn’t do a single thing differently. I highly recommend!
Mallory was such a pleasure to work with, she took over our account mid-way through and really was everything we could have hoped for. She was very responsive to my million email q...
uestions and very patient with all my double checking of every detail.
The day of coordination was a godsend for us in there were SO many logistics to consider (lots of at times stubborn family, ceremony and reception in different places, etc.). Mallory kept her cool and kept a smile on her face (and everyone's faces), amid several wedding crisis like a stained dress, a random rain storm causing a last-minute move of the cocktail hour inside and everything in between throughout the entire day!
Everyone (family and friends) raved about working with her and she really did ensure that we had a perfect day!
Mallory is the Best!!!! She’s detailed, organized, thoughtful and always on point! She made our wedding day flawless and perfect! We can’t thank her enough for taking all of our st...
ress away! I would absolutely recommend her and her chi chic team to any future bride!!!
We cannot express how grateful we are to have worked with Mallory planning our wedding, but can easily say that it was the best decision we made in the planning process! Mallory's ...
attentiveness and liveliness made planning our out-of-state wedding a breeze and fun! At every step of the process she provided us with guidance on how to proceed, offered suggested vendors based on our tastes and budget, and scheduled all interviews and follow-up meetings with vendors to work with our schedules both remotely from NY, and when we made intermittent trips to Chicago. On the day of our wedding when an issue arose, Mallory discretely handled what could have been a disaster without us even knowing that there had been an issue to begin with! Our day was as amazing as we could have hoped for, and all thanks to Mallory's dedication in over 2 years of planning! We've seen so many of the other weddings that Mallory and her team at CHI Chic Weddings have planned and coordinated, and I have no doubt that working with them would be the best decision that any couple could make.
Mallory and her team we're flawless! I met Mallory when she leading a wedding in which I was a bridesmaid and I knew right away that I had to have her be a part of my day! She thin...
ks of every detail and truly takes charge so you can enjoy the important parts of your day...not to mention that she is a joy to have around all throughout the process and esp on the big day. Best choice I made for my wedding was having Chi Chic Wedding be a part of it!
Mallory and her team were truly AMAZING!!! Without her my wedding dreams would not have been a reality, she really went above and beyond to help us pick out everything from all the...
vendors and even the cake! She really got a feel for our personalities and knew which things would fit us best! Without Mallory and her team, none of this would have been possible and we would have been completely lost! We are So thankful for everything she did!!!
Mallory and her team are absolutely amazing! My husband and I were looking for a full-time planning team to help us manage our two-day, multicultural wedding. Mallory and her team ...
went above and beyond to manage our timelines, budgets, vendors and so much more. The CHI Chic staff is one of the most professional, kind-hearted and organized teams I've ever worked with. I cannot share how much we loved working with the team over the 12+ months of wedding planning. If I ever had a question, a comment or a change of heart, Mallory was there to listen, problem solve and guide us. Mallory and her team truly have the ability to understand your vision and bring it to life better than you had ever imagined. From the moment we started working with the team to the final vendor payments, Mallory is on top of everything. If you are looking for a day of planner, part-time or full-time, I would highly recommend this team. They really are the best in the business. Happy Planning!
Mallory and her team executed my Sister’s Wedding flawlessly!!! She was always available to answer any and all questions during the wedding planning process. Indian/Multi-cultural ...
Weddings have multiple moving pieces, events, religious components and definitely can be challenging. Her team did a excellent job making my sister’s dreams come true. Mallory has great connections throughout the city with great vendor relationships and always got us the best price possible! As the sister of the bride and her maid of honor, I would highly recommend Mallory and will definitely book her for my big day!
My family and I couldn't recommend Mallory and her team enough. We used them for day of coordination and they went above and beyond. You will not regret using CHI Chic Weddings a...

If you’re looking to have a beautiful, stress-free wedding, look no further than Mallory and her team at CHI Chic Weddings & Events! With the full service planning option, Mallory...
helped us find the Hotel Allegro, which was the perfect spot for our January wedding. Without her expertise, this location would never had made it onto our radar. She led us to the best vendor team-we had beautiful flowers and décor from Kehoe, great music from DJ Chris at MaryMonica Music and Entertainment, amazing hair and makeup from Bianca Sansosti, and a wonderful photographer, Elizabeth Nord! Mallory was quick to respond to every email, answered all of our questions, and was great in a wedding “crisis” when our beautiful foil pressed invitations from Studio Greenstar Paperie got lost in the mail en route to us. Mallory even took me to my final bridal fitting when a snowstorm prevented my bridal party from doing so! On the day of our wedding, we were able to be in the moment and not worry about a thing. Mallory made sure everything ran on time and according to plan. Mallory is truly one of a kind. She is very personable, passionate about what she does, and strives for perfection. Her eye for detail and her kindhearted personality made our wedding day beautiful. We couldn’t be happier. We highly recommend Mallory and the team at CHI Chic Weddings & Events!
Couldn't recommend Mallory and her team enough! She was incredibly organized, always on time (or early), and saved us more in negotiations than we could have imagined. Being a comp...
letely type A person, it was so nice to have someone who has such attention to detail, is well respected in her industry, and made my life easier throughout the entire process. Our wedding was the least stressful and most fun day of my life and owe most of this to Mallory, her team, and all of the amazing vendors she recommended!
Mallory and her team went above our expectations. We live out in western suburbs and set up a date to meet with a few wedding planners downtown and Mallory blew the others out of t...
he park! From the moment we arrived, she made us feel very welcomed and comfortable and made sure to ask about our long drive and offer champagne (yes please!). My mom and I did most of the planning together and we are both very similar in that we like to be very organized! Our first meeting with Mallory is when we knew we wanted to have her as the wedding planner. She had folders with the agenda for the meeting, pricing, and all the details ready to go. The other planners we met with that day from other companies felt below average and not as organized as Mallory. From that first meeting and beyond we just all clicked! All the meetings went smoothly. The recommendations for our timeline and other details for the wedding from Mallory and her team were excellent. At each meeting we were greeted warmly with big hugs, smiles and the agenda for the meeting. Every planning meeting we had was efficient (because of their great organization skills) and fun (Mallory and Ashley are super easy to get along with!). Planning a wedding can be very stressful but the CHI Chic team calmed all our fears and worries. The day of the wedding went flawlessly because of Ashley, Mallory and their team. As the Bride, it was nice to just be told where to go and what to do instead of stressing myself out about where I should be and what I should be doing! I would highly recommend the CHI Chic team to anyone who is looking for a wedding planner….even if it is just for “day of”. It was worth the investment to have someone with us during the wedding planning process! We feel very blessed we were connected with CHI Chic to help us plan our dream come true wedding! Thank you Mallory and Ashley!
Mallory and her team at CHI Chic is AMAZING! I hired her to be the day of coordinator, but she goes SO above and beyond that. She made my life so easy and stress free, and I could ...
not have done it without her. From our initial planning meeting, she impressed me with her attention to detail and had a clear understanding of how to run a wedding. I cannot say enough wonderful things about her, she is the best and I am so grateful she was a part of my day!
Mallory and her team are rockstars! As a pretty organized person myself, I hired a planner to allow my family and I to feel like guests at my wedding. Man, am I glad I did! I canno...
t imagine the process without her from a logistics perspective, but she also became a buddy through the year+ we spent together and offered so much honest advice and expertise. I would (and have) recommended them to anyone planning an upcoming wedding! She made the overwhelming, hectic process smooth, and not to mention, a ton of fun. Chi Chic was above and beyond!
There aren't enough ways to compliment Mallory Powell and CHI Chic Weddings & Events. I hired Mallory about 6 months out from my wedding day and there's no question it wouldn't hav...
e been the perfect day without her guidance and support. I imagine she's worked with all sorts of brides but she sure makes you feel special from day one and throughout the entire planning process Mallory has your back in every corner. From budget planning, vendor correspondence, timeline management and day of planning she is meticulous, detail oriented and a genuinely a super fun person to work with! No matter how organized you think you are, there's SO MUCH more that goes into a wedding and without her I would have been lost. There was not a single glitch in our entire process and I would recommend Mallory 1000% to any couple in Chicago!
Mallory and her team are an absolute pleasure to work with. I was referred to Mallory through a family friend and when I first met her was so impressed with her knowledge of the we...
dding industry, her attention to detail and her honesty. It was important for me to use vendors that I could trust and who would provide me their honest opinions. I could see how much she loves what she does and she truly wanted the day to be perfect for us. We hired her for day of coordination and it was the best money we spent throughout our entire planning process. Mallory really took the time to get to know us as a couple and make sure she understood our vision.
The entire Chi Chic Wedding team was instrumental in making sure that everything went off without a hitch and stepped in to take the lead that day allowing us to enjoy every second with family and friends. Our wedding was quite large and they made sure all of our guests were taken care of and had whatever they needed all evening. I would highly recommend the Chi Chic Wedding team to any bride and groom, they will ensure that your day is everything you imagined it would be. Mallory was simply the best and I can’t thank them enough for making sure our day was nothing short of perfect.
Ashley was the best! She was on top of everything and helped us put the finishing touches on our wedding. She was there whenever we needed her and kept everything organized. The da...
y went off without a hitch and it was all because of her. The entire CHI Chic team was a joy to work with!
Mallory and her team are truly top notch. From the moment we first spoke, I knew she was going to be the perfect day-of coordinator for our wedding. We planned our Chicago weddin...
g all the way from Texas and Mallory made that process a breeze. While she wasn't our "planner" per se, she checked in with us every month once we hired her for the coordination services to provide support, answer questions and keep us on track with our plans. She is so knowledgeable about everything wedding related that she quickly became our go-to for all our questions and logistical concerns. She is professional, kind, understanding, flexible and so so so organized--a girl after my own heart! Working with her felt like I was working with family which made the experience that much more fun.
On the day of the wedding, Mallory and her assistant Ashley stayed 4 steps ahead. Our parents and wedding party were given detailed schedules the night before created by her of all of the moving parts and what to expect to ensure a smooth day. Her emergency tool belt was so cute and handy, containing every item you might need on your wedding day from tissues and scissors all the way to lip gloss. We had multiple receptions and Mallory and team were on top of every moving part like you wouldn't believe. Her excellent services allowed us to completely relax and not worry about a thing the day of. She quickly formed relationships with our vendors during the planning phase so they felt comfortable going to her for every need which allowed us to really enjoy our event. She followed through with every single detail that was important to us which exemplifies how much care and concern she puts into her work.
There aren't enough nice words in the English language to adequately describe what a pleasure it was to work with her Ashley. We truly feel blessed to have had them a part of our day and will sing their praises for years to come! Thank you, CHI Chic Weddings!
I knew that I had picked the right wedding planner when one of the first things Mallory and I discussed was our shared love for Kate Spade and organization. She is a girl after my ...
own heart and every meeting we had made wedding planning less stressful!
CHI Chic Weddings and Events did an outstanding job with helping myself and my Mother throughout the wedding process and on my wedding day. Mallory was always one step ahead and had all of the answers to even the smallest of questions, along with an extensive "wedding emergency" kit of anything you might need during the day, which also included Rose champagne (my favorite)! :)
She was extremely organized and put all of us at ease knowing that we wouldn't have to "sweat the small stuff" and instead could enjoy every part of our wedding day.
Mallory worked seamlessly with all of our vendors and quickly stepped in when our church didn't have a coordinator. In addition, we had an assistant coordinator, Grace, who was equally friendly and helpful on our wedding day.
I highly recommend CHI Chic Weddings and Events for day of coordination or full wedding planning. Mallory and her team are extremely professional, fun and enjoyable to work with throughout the entire wedding planning process!
Mallory is AMAZING! Our wedding was in August, and despite it being the height of wedding season, Mallory put so much work into this planning process that she made us feel like we ...
were her only clients! We initially wanted to use Mallory's services to help us with the venue search and day-of coordination, but after meeting with her a few times we upgraded to the full service package and could not have been happier! From her negotiations with vendors, to her awesome attention to detail, to her organization and planning - she more than paid for herself and saved us incredibly valuable time. Mallory was extremely responsive throughout the process, struck the perfect balance of offering much-needed suggestions without being overbearing, and kept us on track over the course of several months! Her day-of coordination alone was invaluable, and she even ducked out during the reception to buy us some things we forgot to pack! Mallory went above and beyond at every step and every decision point. All you have to do is look at one of her amazingly detailed spreadsheets to see how in-touch, collaborative, organized, and on top of things she is! Our wedding had a lot of moving parts and she made sure everything came together flawlessly. Thank you for making our big day so perfect, Mallory!
Mallory impressed us more than we could have dreamed possible. She was professional, organized and nimble. From start to finish, she handled our venue search to day of coordinati...
on. If it wasn't for her, I don't know that I could have enjoyed the planning process as much as I did. She ensured that every detailed was flawless. If there is one thing I could recommend for future brides - it's to hire ChiChic Weddings!
Stop your search for a wedding planner and hire Mallory! She is the best of the best! As soon as we chatted on the phone, I knew she was the planner for me. She is personable, de...
tail-oriented, and simply amazing at what she does. We hired Mallory for day-of coordination, and due to her amazing skill, I was 100% stress free on my big day. She brought her assistant, Ashley, to assist.. and both were phenomonal. the entire wedding party loved working with them! Looking back, we found hiring Mallory to be the best thing we did for our wedding. She provides great input, keeps brides on track, and is a joy to work with. Thank you Mallory!!!!

put the final touches on our wedding to make it absolutely perfect. On the day of the wedding, Mallory and her assistant, Grace, were a blessing. I was actually sad to say goodbye to them at the end of the night! There is no way we could have pulled it off as flawlessly as we did without Mallory and her team.
Mallory was AMAZING! She is so organized and on top of absolutely everything. Many of our guests have said this was the best wedding they've ever been to, and it's the first time I...
've ever heard of wedding guests sending the bride and groom "thank you" cards for inviting them to the party. It could not have gone on without Mallory!!
My day was absolutely perfect and it was completely due to Mallory, the lead planner/owner of ChiChic Weddings!
Little backstory here. I’m a teacher we were getting married beg...
inning of August. Knowing that I would be off for summer I decided that I could do anything I needed for my own wedding all by myself. Why get a wedding planner? I was completely under the wrong impression of what a wedding planner even does…
We booked our venue by ourselves and everything was going just dandy… who needs a planner right? We picked a garden wedding at a restaurant. We booked and paid a deposit. All was well….. details were coming together…. Until I asked for a layout of the garden. When I got the layout, I was horrified. Everyone was squished in a small section in an already small garden. After a phone call to the venue I realized that no one ever told me we had a PORTION of the garden. Even after being careful and reading everything we pretty much were in deep trouble…
Here we are about 3-4 months away with no venue. Here comes ChiChic Weddings. I still remember the frantic call talking to Mallory telling her the situation at hand. She helped calm me down and talk me off my ledge. I had no idea how much she was going to help over the course of the wedding.
She ended up booking my new venue (she has the PERFECT venue ideas I had never even thought of.) She negotiated my contract to include things I never could have got on my own… (TWO nights in our hotel for free! Etc.)
She did SO MUCH. I had no idea how much planners actually do for you. Here I was thinking they are decorators…. She saved us so much money that we would have had to spend elsewhere. She also had wonderful connections with other vendors (DJ, Venue, Hotel block, hair and makeup, etc.) She took care of everything and let me be a relaxed bride.
I cannot say enough about the service we received. She was thoughtful and paid attention to detail. During weddings it seems like everyone has some type of opinion. She listened to ME and what my GROOM wanted and not all the other outside factors. She included our parents in the wedding details and made them feel important without letting them take over (Who can blame them! It’s an exciting time for EVERYONE!) Mallory, the owner, is such a sweet woman who truly became a friend. She knows how to approach different situations with grace and tact. She gave wonderful words of encouragement to my nervous self so many times. She was also focused and driven enough to give stern directions to my inebriated groomsmen without being too harsh. She knows what needs to be done to have a flawless wedding. We could not have done it without her. Hands down.
Everyone tells you that ONE big thing will go wrong at your wedding. I can honestly tell you our wedding went FLAWLESSLY. The only issue we had was not booking ChiChic sooner (it would have saved a lot of time and heartache!). Even for brides on a budget (Like us!!) it is essential to have a planner because it saves so much in the long run. Mallory is a phenomenal planner/business owner/ person. We feel so lucky to have her coordinate and plan our special day.
Mallory was absolutely everything and more we could have asked for. Mallory helped us coordinate our wedding in Chicago while my (now) wife and I were living in Las Vegas. She chec...
ked venues, Set up tastings, helped contact and select vendors, such as our DJ and florist. Some of the best things she did for us was plan conference calls with different vendors and helped deal with multiple crisis's at various points in the process. The whole time assuring us that everything would run without a hitch. The day of the event she made sure everything ran like clockwork without seeming overly planned. We Couldn't have even come near to how fantastic of an event we had without Mallory and Chi Chic weddings. Thanks you so much for everything!
