We got married on 5.16.26 (I’m so sorry for the delay review!)
We originally hired Faith as our officiant, but after our first conversation, we immediately felt like we had known her forever. She was so warm, organized, and knowledgeable that we also hired her as our day of coordinator. Later, after us venting about poor communication from our venue (2 weeks before our wedding) Faith arranged for Kathryn to join us on the wedding day to ease our stress level, and they were absolutely amazing! We were beyond lucky to have both by our sides. Throughout the planning process, Faith was always quick to respond to emails, met with us over Zoom, and reassured us when we were stressed about our venue's poor communication/or really any stressor in wedding planning. At our rehearsal, Faith and Kathryn made sure every detail was covered and worked with the venue to address any issues before the big day. On our wedding day, they handled every hiccup behind the scenes so smoothly that I didn't even know anything had gone wrong until afterward. Faith even was nice enough to keep a list of mistakes the venue did to help us get a little refund. Faith and Kathryn were constantly present and all I had to do was look at them and they knew I needed something, even re-bustled my dress MULTIPLE times because it wouldn’t hold (thank you so much, it was such a pain), decorated our ceremony arch beautifully, and Faith captured so many wonderful behind the scene photos and videos for us, which I was not expecting at all but so grateful she did! Faith even checked in after the wedding to see how everything went and kept checking in if we received our USB drives that our venue mentioned they mailed to our house. If we could do it all over again, we would choose Faith and Kathryn without hesitation. I highly recommend Weddings by Jennifer Fox to anyone looking for a coordinator or officiant, they truly go above and beyond! It’s funny because at the beginning of the planning my husband was questioning if a day of coordinator was really necessary, after the wedding he mentioned many times that he was very happy we had Faith and Kathryn to help the whole day go smoothly. Truly amazing!

Jennifer did a beautiful job with our ceremony as officiant. Hiring her and her team as day of coordinator was one of the best decisions we made while planning our wedding. She took a lot of stress off of us and made the day run smoothly. We highly recommend Weddings by Jennifer Fox.

"Hiring Weddings by Jennifer Fox was the best decision we ever made. Jennifer and her team were such amazing partners to work with while planning our wedding. They worked with us through every step of the process and ensured that our vision for our wedding would be realized.
We hired Jennifer as our officiant but also as our day of coordinator, and we are so happy we did. Theywere so organized and handled all of the little details we didn’t even think about. They also handled anything that came up leading up to the wedding so that we could enjoy our special day free of worry. I know for certain that our wedding would not have been a success without them.
We are so truly grateful for everything they did. We had a perfect wedding because of Weddings by Jennifer Fox." -- review from 2024

- Jennifer FoxOwnerI've been married for 26 years, we have 3 kids, and 8 furbabies right now! I live in Woodstock and love being able to travel to beautiful wedding spots. I began officiating when my best friend convinced me to marry her and her fiancee. And it quickly turned into wedding planning and coordination! I still tear up during ceremonies and I love every one of my couples no matter how many wedding we are part of. I want you to feel like you get to be married by a close friend- but with a lot of experience!
- Faith TsurutaniSenior Lead Coordinator/ Officiant /Event PlannerBorn and raised in Chicago, now married with an amazing son Holden. My human child and my fur child are everything to me. I wholeheartedly love the work that I do and am so grateful that I get to do it. It brings me such great joy to get to know the couples I work with and be such a big part of their love stories. I get so attached to each and every one of my couples that it's always a little bittersweet when their wedding day comes and I send them off into the world to embark on the rest of their lives together.
- Kathryn HallstromLead Coordinator/ Officiant /Event PlannerBorn and raised in the vibrant city of Chicago, I’ve always been surrounded by energy, celebration, and connection — the same spirit that fuels my work today as a wedding coordinator and officiant. Now living in Antioch, Illinois, with my two wonderful young daughters, I’ve found the perfect balance between family life and doing what I love most: helping couples bring their wedding dreams to life. Outside of weddings, you’ll find me soaking up the sunshine during the summer months, attending concerts, or diving into a good horror movie (the spookier, the better!). I’ve truly flourished here — connecting with amazing couples, learning every day, and loving every moment of being part of such meaningful milestones

Weddings by Jennifer Fox – WOW!!! Best experience ever! A friend had told me to not forego a coordinator, and make it a “non-negotiable” in our wedding budget. I was skeptical a...
t first, but at the first moment I talked with Faith, I knew I was in the best hands, and it was the best decision we made. There was no asking a friend or family member to pick up any of the tasks – Faith handled it all flawlessly!! We chose the “Day of Coordinator” package (only because I had the venue already selected), and they were so thorough, I actually had to confirm that I bought the right package!! I worked with Faith (and day of Hope joined), as our Day of Coordinator as well as our Officiant.
I started over a year in advance, and consistently had communication with Faith during that time. Communication was spectacular, she kept my mind at ease throughout the entire process. The day of our wedding, she never missed a beat. She immediately worked with our photographer when she saw we were off our timeline (go figure!), and everything ran without a hitch! As far as an Officiant – every guest commented on how beautiful the ceremony was, and couldn’t believe that Faith could literally do it all!!
When comparing several Wedding Planner/Coordinators during my planning process, Weddings by Jennifer Fox was in line with pricing, but the offerings far exceeded the competition. So, we definitely felt we were the lucky ones and got a huge bargain. They were worth every single penny and more!!!

As a Type-A Bride, I needed someone who would embrace all of the attention to detail that I had pined over for 14 months and execute my vision on wedding day, a task which certainl...
y was not easy. Faith accepted the challenge and absolutely rose to the occasion! We had a great first planning call where Faith set us on track for what we needed to do over the next few months to get ready for the day. Meanwhile, she was the primary point of contact for all of our vendors, and kept track of details behind the scenes. Using all of our vendor contracts and probably hundreds of emails, she was able to craft a very detailed timeline that included needs for every vendor and accommodated all of our requests. This document was crucial and served as a fantastic timeline for everyone to use on the day.
Faith is so dedicated to doing a good job, that she showed up extremely early on wedding day. Unbeknownst to us, she got a flat tire on her way ON THE HIGHWAY! We had no clue that happened because even thought the flat tire delayed her, she still was there on time for us getting ready for the first look! She helped one of my Maids of Honor secure her dress, sewed a button on to our usher’s vest, and ran back and forth to the church because there was an item missing that needed to be recovered. Then she was coordinating with our vendors who were setting up at the venue while we were at church. Oh, and did I mention she did all this with a fractured wrist? Yeah, she’s a dedicated professional.
Faith also brought along one of her assistants, Indya. One of the biggest things we were worried about was making sure our guests got on the proper shuttle from the hotel to the church (there was also an airport shuttle, we didn’t want people to get on the wrong one!). Indya did a fantastic job ushering our guests and ensuring nobody missed the shuttle. Then, while we were at church, she set up our place cards and remaining decor, making sure our venue looked perfect before we arrived! Additionally, Indya made sure we didn’t miss out on the bar, desserts, and late night snack by bringing us plates and drinks throughout the night. We appreciated her assistance in making our night perfect!
Overall, Faith and Indya helped make our wedding day flawless and we’re excellent go-to people to handle everything we needed!

Absolutely Beautiful Wedding Ceremony! ❤️
We are so grateful to Faith for making our wedding ceremony so beautiful, meaningful, and unforgettable. From the moment we met her, she ...
was warm, kind, professional, and truly took the time to understand our love story.
Faith made us feel completely comfortable and helped create a ceremony that felt personal and genuine to us. Her words were heartfelt, her presence was calming, and she made such an important moment in our lives even more special.
We couldn’t have asked for a better officiant. Faith was absolutely wonderful, and we highly recommend her to any couple looking for someone who will put their heart into making their ceremony truly memorable.
Thank you, Faith, for being such a special part of our wedding day! ❤️

Jennifer and her team were involved with our pre-wedding planning and handled coordination day-of, and I’m so glad we chose her for our special day.
Jennifer was responsive, atten...
tive, and wonderful to work with overall. We had over 170 guests with a large number of vendors, and just 8 months to plan everything. I’ll be honest, this event would not have been possible without her.
She helped keep planning organized and on time, lead the charge on creating the timeline and coordinating scheduling with all the vendors, and was always there to answer questions, give recommendations, and handle last minute changes as they arose.
On the day of the wedding, she and her team did a wonderful job setting up, coordinating with the venue/vendors, taking care of us and our guests, and keeping the event running smoothly and on time.
One important note is her team stayed late to help with tear down, which is something they did not have to do but did anyway. We really appreciated that and it shows the dedication her and her team have for what they do.
They were great to work with, highly competent, and I would highly recommend WBJF.

We got so many compliments from our guests on just how smoothly everything went and how there was no downtime between the ceremony/cocktail hour/reception. Jennifer and Traci went above and beyond helping set up the decor as well as help take it all down at the end of the night and help everyone pack up their cars. They were an absolute blessing <3

We had Faith as our day-of wedding coordinator and I can't speak highly enough of the tremendous help she provided throughout our planning process and the wedding day. We held our...
wedding at our farm and had a lot of moving parts between the vendors and getting everything set up. Faith was incredibly detailed and made sure that we had all of the provisions required by every vendor ahead of time and provided guidance and advice that made our big challenges seem totally manageable. She did an amazing job with our rehearsal, especially as it was our officiant's first time and we were missing some of the bridal party. She made sure anyone who hadn't been at the rehearsal was prepared for the ceremony the day of, and the ceremony was perfect!
The day of the wedding truly could not have happened without Faith! She ran out to the store for some forgotten items, and helped with a ton of the set up. She made sure the ceremony music went off without a hitch and literally ran around the farm to make sure everything was going according to plan. She made sure that everything possible was being done so that my husband and I could be present and enjoy our day. She was a wonderful source of help and calmness in the chaos. Faith was truly a life-saver- don't plan a wedding without this team!!

Weddings by Jennifer Fox made our wedding day wonderful and unforgettable! Our officiant, Faith, met with us early on to learn more about us, understand what we wanted, and provide...
suggestions about ceremony elements.
We could tell that Faith really cared about understanding us and making this a meaningful day. Based on our initial call, Faith wrote a beautiful personalized ceremony and gave us the opportunity to review before the big day.
We loved Faith’s idea of doing a unity sand ceremony, so we included it and really treasured that experience :)
Faith was kind and professional every step of the way. We can’t thank Faith enough for making our day so special. Would highly recommend working with Faith and the Weddings by Jennifer Fox team!

Hiring Faith as our wedding coordinator was hands-down the best decision we made. I’m incredibly organized and detail-oriented—and Faith was a total rockstar from day one. Unlike m...
ost “day-of” coordinators who jump in 30 days out, Faith started reviewing contracts and talking to vendors as soon as we hired her. She caught things I never would have thought to ask, and that early involvement allowed me to actually relax in the final month.
Faith built a beautiful timeline, handled bumps with vendors, helped our photographer stay on track, coordinated our rehearsal, set up our decor, transferred flowers—everything. She and her assistant Kathryn were sweet, calm, and such a joy to be around. I felt completely taken care of all day, and my husband and I always had what we needed (including food and drinks—no small feat!).
I would hire Faith again in a heartbeat. She was essential to making our day feel seamless and stress-free. THANK YOU, Faith! My cousin already booked her after seeing how amazing she was.

If you're getting married and even thinking about hiring a planner, call Jennifer Fox. Seriously. Jennifer was absolutely AMAZING and made our wedding day run so smoothly — I hones...
tly don’t know what we would’ve done without her.
From the very first meeting, Jennifer brought this calm, confident energy that instantly made me feel more relaxed and actually excited about wedding planning (which, if you know, can be A LOT). Every meeting was timely, super organized, and always had a clear agenda, so we never felt overwhelmed or like things were slipping through the cracks.
One of the biggest compliments I kept getting on the day of the wedding — from family, friends, and even vendors — was how on time and seamless everything felt. That was 100% because of Jennifer. She handled all the behind-the-scenes details with total professionalism, coordinated with every vendor, and made sure all our documents were in order and up to date. It felt like she was everywhere at once, handling things before I even knew they needed to be handled.
I cannot recommend her enough. If you're looking for someone who's organized, communicative, and genuinely passionate about making your day perfect — Jennifer Fox is your person. She made our dream day happen, and I’m so grateful to have had her by our side!

I honestly can not say enough positive things about Jennifer and her team! She was so reassuring and gave us so many options to pick from for the ceremony! She also worked with us ...
as far as paying for her services, which was helpful for us personally. She also gave us the options for the ceremony very early, so we really did have time to decide what we wanted our ceremony to look like. Jennifer was also my day-of coordinator, and again there are not enough positive things I could say from this aspect too. She's the glue that held it all together, she was organized, on top of everything, amazing with her communication, answered all my questions, constantly made me feel less anxious about all of it, over and over she's truly the best! I cannot say it enough!

I would give Faith 20 stars if I could. I was blessed enough to have Faith as our wedding planner and she went above and beyond to make sure that I had the most magical wedding day...
. She helped with all of my questions, asked vendors questions I wouldn’t have thought of myself, recognized the vision of the wedding I was going for, assuaged my stress with planning and made it easy to figure out what I needed to do. I had Faith and Robi for my wedding yesterday and I don’t know if I could have done it without them. They assisted with vendors, cued the wedding party, helped with announcements, put out arising fires, figured out solutions to problems as they arose, assisted with decor, assisted with timing and I’m sure that there are things that I didn’t even know about that they helped with. I only spoke to Jennifer partially and she seemed like a lovely woman, but I am so happy that Faith was my coordinator. She was so kind and so wonderful even my siblings felt the need to tell me about how great she was. I’m not one to leave reviews but with everything for Faith, from the service day of to her personality to her assistance, it was absolutely wonderful planning my wedding with her and I’ve already recommended this company for another bride to be.

As a wedding photographer I know that a good wedding planner makes all the difference! Jennifer and I worked together on one of the prettiest "back yard" weddings last summer, and ...
if anyone thinks that's easier than a big 250+ person wedding please let me dispel the myth. It's a LOT of work! And this wedding had horses... IN the wedding! Needless to say, Jennifer and her team did an incredible job of running the show, the day could not have been nicer and everyone, including the couple, had a terrific experience. Which means that the photos were great too, a win win! She was organized, professional, and fun. I would gladly team up with her again and highly recommend her services.

I, myself, am a Type A person and even I cannot match her level of organization and care. I am just over the moon happy with our experience with Jennifer. I would work with her again in a heartbeat!

mitment to making our day absolutely perfect. Sarah is a true professional with a gift for turning dreams into reality. Her organizational skills are second to none, and she effortlessly managed the intricate web of logistics that come with coordinating a wedding. From coordinating vendor arrivals to ensuring the seamless flow of events, she worked tirelessly behind the scenes to make our day unfold flawlessly. One of the standout qualities of Sarah is her calm and composed demeanor. No matter the challenge, she approached every situation with a reassuring smile and a can-do attitude. This not only alleviated our stress but also set a positive tone for the entire day. She ensured that every element, from the ceremony to the reception, ran seamlessly, allowing us to savor every precious moment without worrying about the details. Communication with Jennifer and Sarah both was exceptional throughout the entire process. They were responsive, attentive, and always eager to listen to our ideas and concerns. Their collaborative approach made us feel heard and valued, and they went above and beyond to accommodate our vision for the day.

Our heartfelt gratitude goes to Sarah, five stars simply don't seem enough to express our appreciation for her exceptional work!

Our only regret was not finding them sooner and booking more services by Weddings by Jennifer Fox so they could have planned our entire wedding from the beginning, but a Day of Coordinator was still a tremendous help. There were so many details we were unaware of, and Faith asked all the planning questions up front so that we wouldn't have to stress on the day of the wedding, and that's exactly what happened. We were stress free the day of the wedding and didn't have any vendors coming up to us for questions. All of our gifts, cards, and wedding items were delivered to us at the end of the night. We are so grateful to Faith for her services, and Jennifer for assigning Faith to us! Thank you!

My husband and I recently got married on 9/9/2023. I cannot express enough that one of the best decisions I made was hiring Jennifer Fox as the Day of Coordinator and our Officiant...
. Throughout the wedding planning process we had check-ins and she was able to answer all of my many questions and was able to help me find a last minute vendor. She made planning documents that were very thorough and the day of timeline she made was so good we felt zero pressure/stress on the day of as everything was so organized.
On the day of the wedding, Jennifer helped setup most of the decor. One thing that really stood out, was that she found better locations for certain decor items that I wouldn’t have thought of myself. For example I had fans and outdoor parasols for guests to use during the ceremony, Jennifer found a better location for these items that had every single one of them being seen and used by the guests.
Just to highlight another amazing thing she did… we had out of town guests that arrived after dinner was put away due to a delayed flight. Jennifer was able to find the one restaurant that was still open and ordered food for these guests.
Her level of detail and organization is unmatched. My husband, myself, our families, and our wedding party, were able to enjoy the day and live in the moment. We knew everything was taken care of thanks to Jennifer and her team. If you are like myself, and was unsure if you need a day of coordinator, it’s 100% the best idea. Your wedding day goes by so fast, so living in the moment and being stress free is essential. Having Jennifer and her team there was the best and I’m so grateful I found her.

Finding the right officiant was one of the hardest parts of wedding planning and I am so glad we found Jennifer! She spoke beautifully and slowly enough for my grandmother to hear ...
the entire ceremony, which was something I had been worrying about. She led our day-of rehearsal efficiently, which made the ceremony go perfectly. Afterwards, I had multiple guests ask if we had known Jennifer for a long time, because she seemed to know us so well, but we had only met her in-person on our wedding day. Thank you Jennifer!!

ing was perfect! She was so helpful and made me feel so much more calm about everything. My family absolutely loved her and so did we!! She made our ceremony so personalized and I pretty much cried during the entire thing, which was totally fine and expected lol. If you get Elizabeth as your officiant, consider yourself lucky! She really was amazing. Thank you so much to Elizabeth & Jennifer for everything! We appreciate you so much 💖

Jennifer was very nice! She let us fully customize our ceremony and took our ideas seriously. She gave us many options of what we wanted included in the ceremony and allowed us to ...
pick and choose what we liked from each option. She also accommodated changes on the day of the wedding with no problem. She had great communication leading up to the wedding. Great options for religious and nonreligious ceremonies.

ere and nowhere all at once — within sight and easily able to answer any questions throughout the day, but they blended seamlessly into the background. They were so personable, helpful, and organized, and they put this first-time officiant at ease. So grateful for all of their help and would not hesitate to recommend them!

r coordinator as well. They were there every step of the way! They took care of organizing all our vendors. We gave them ideas/visions of what we wanted and they went above and beyond our expectations! At one point I, the bride, looked out my hotel suite window down to the outside patio where our ceremony was being held…they were decorating the arch that we were being married under…and I was so overwhelmed with how phenomenal it looked and just cried! It looked absolutely stunning! Our ceremony was beautiful and humorous just like us, wink, wink! We had a family unity ceremony with our children that was perfect! Walking into the reception area was a complete surprise to us as we didn’t see the decorations until then. We were overjoyed and in awe! They checked on us and made sure everything ran smoothly all day! Totally catered to us the whole time. At the end of the night, everything was cleaned and packed up so neatly. Our guests and families ranted and raved about how wonderful, caring, on point and detail orientated they were! We could not have had the best day of our lives without these ladies! We were able to enjoy our day, stress-free while they handled everything! We HIGHLY RECOMMEND them and HIGHLY ENCOURAGE everyone to utilize their services! They did not disappoint! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for making our day the best ever Jennifer and Jess!!!! Mr. & Mrs. Perrone!

as after already meeting with a handful of other officiants who just didn't seem to meet my expectations. Jennifer not only officiated us on our big day this past June, but also married us when we did a small elopement in July of 2019. She ended up officiating my brother and sister in law as well! She does a wonderful job hitting all the marks a ceremony needs while also adding personal touches to make it yours. She also sends a whole bunch of resources to help you. We are so grateful for all Jennifer did for us! Highly recommend!
