We hired Jazmyn for month of coordination & day of coordination. I cannot explain the value, organization & peace of mind Jazmyn brought to the table for us. She was always SO responsive to emails and questions, was flexible to our schedule for calls and meetings, and made wedding day go seamlessly. She picked up on small details and planned for things we hadn't thought of. She communicated with our vendors in ways I didn't even realize, and was always two steps ahead. Multiple people on wedding day told me how helpful and awesome she was! She was patient and kind to all questions, calm and collected in times of (my) stress, and truly a friend to me in the planning process. I wanted to *just* be a bride on wedding day and not have to worry about vendor arrivals, setup/teardown, emergencies, etc. She handled everything with such professionalism, efficiency and grace. We even hired her for our rehearsal dinner which was absolutely worth it!! If you are worried about the details of your day and want to hand it off to someone you can 100% trust- Jazmyn is your girl!!!!!! Additionally- we used Jazmyn's content creation team for wedding day which was 10/10 worth it! I didn't think I would care about having behind the scenes videos/photos, but it was so special to wake up with 500 videos on my phone from wedding day. Our full photo gallery will take a couple months so it's nice to have those items to look back on in the meantime! It would be a great option for someone not wanting to invest in a true videography team.

Team Yellow Rose truly brought our vision to life. From our initial consultation, I knew that Isabel and I were on the same page. Isabel was creative with different ways to maintain our budget. She went above and beyond by MAKING CANDLES in the exact shade I wanted when we could not find any. Though we did not meet in person often, she was always a quick text or call away which we really valued. I can't thank this team enough for making our dream wedding a reality.

Working out of Lombard, IL, I am a type A planner from the very center of my heart. I love lists, schedules, budgets, and all things organized. Weddings are my passion because they involve so much coordinated detail in every phase of the day from start to finish. I love to see my client's vision for their special day come together with every check off the to do list. I have been coordinating weddings since early 2018, but have been networking in the industry for several years now. I love working with all of the gorgeous venues we have here in the suburbs of Chicago and can't wait to get started planning your dream wedding.

One of my best wedding decisions was to hire BreAnn as a day of coordinator! Her services extended beyond wedding day including meetings before and rehearsal coordination. She is an expert in her field. My wedding day timeline went EXACTLY as planned largely because of BreAnn. I mean whose wedding day ever runs exactly on time??? She was so helpful all day and I’m so grateful for her.

My name is Steph Stanglin and I am an experienced wedding and special event planner! My goal is to create lifelong memories for my couple through beautiful, customized bridal events. Some fun facts about me are: I have 2 cats (Milo and Kiro) and 1 dog (Rory), My goal is to visit every state and continent before I turn 40, I'm a certified Swiftie, and Reality TV and chocolate are my guilty pleasures. Most likely to be seen carrying a binder and crying at first looks and vows.

I cannot say thank you enough to Steph! She was absolutely amazing. She was so committed to learning what aspects of the wedding were most important to us and making sure they happened on the day of. For example, we were getting caught up in the dancing and were going to skip the cake cutting. She didn’t push, she just asked, “Are you sure? You told me that this was something that was important to you, so I just want to check”. And I’m so thankful she did that, because it’s one of my favorite wedding moments! She went absolutely above and beyond for us. I am currently in medical school and was so stressed leading up to the wedding, but Steph made me feel like it was possible. She was so organized and wrote out every detail we discussed. She went out of her way to suggest some vendors we were struggling to book last minute, and the list goes on. I cannot recommend Steph enough. She is wonderful and sweet and kind and I cannot believe I found her! We could not have done it without her.

They have helpful tips and recommendations on anything your wedding day may need and will help with it all. They made my brunch wedding day come true, kept everything on time while also being kind, professional, and FUN with all our guests and family!

From beginning to end, our team approaches every moment with you in mind. We stand by the belief that no occasion is too big or too small to be handled the utmost level of care and professionalism. Memories and love last a lifetime.

Jacki and her team are simply fabulous! There is so much more to hair and makeup services than simply making you look and feel your best, though they will do that too! Just as important is Jacki's understanding of wedding days and special events, their timelines, working with other vendors as a team, and how best to be able to touch up your makeup throughout the day (esp those lips!) and making sure you look fresh! She takes care to listen to her clients' needs rather than choosing what style to use. Jacki is just one of the kindest, most lighthearted and fun wedding professionals out there. She would be a great addition to your wedding team and be an amazing way to start your day!
