Chicago Weddings and Events, LLC

The best decision I made for my wedding was hiring Julie as a planner. If you want to feel like a guest at your own wedding and have as little stress as possible, Julie is your gal :) From the first time meeting Julie, she was extremely professional and so kind. Her years of experience planning large events are apparent in her close attention to detail and extensive knowledge. She was able to answer all my questions and brought to my attention details/decisions I didn’t even know I had to make. She was so great in keeping all my vendors in the loop and taking over communication with them leading up to the wedding. She and Melissa helped set up all our DIY decor and ensured everything was packed up at the end of the night which was a huge help. I cannot sing her praises enough! - Tiara Escondo

If I could give Julie 10,000 stars, I absolutely would! From the very beginning, Julie was incredibly organized, responsive, thoughtful, and genuinely caring. She patiently answered every question, helped us work through countless details, coordinated with our vendors, and made sure our timeline came together perfectly. She also understood how important our Chinese tea ceremony was to our families and helped incorporate it seamlessly into the wedding day. In the days leading up to the wedding, we were especially nervous about the weather and whether our ceremony could be held outdoors. Julie stayed calm, kept a close eye on everything, communicated with the venue, and helped us make the right decision. On the wedding day, she handled every detail behind the scenes so Carter and I could be fully present and enjoy ourselves. Everything flowed beautifully, and whenever we needed something, Julie was already there taking care of it. What made Julie so special was not only how professional and capable she was, but also how warm and reassuring she made us feel. Planning a wedding can be overwhelming, but she made the entire process feel so much easier. Our wedding day was even more beautiful and meaningful than we imagined, and we truly could not have done it without her. Julie, thank you for giving us the most wonderful wedding day and for caring about it as if it were your own. We are endlessly grateful and would recommend you to every couple without hesitation!
