Awarded Best of Zola
I had the honor of working alongside Lauren for Abby and Mike's wedding in Colorado. As a filmmaker and photographer who has worked with so many other vendors, I can honestly say that Lauren is one of a kind and is a brilliant wedding planner and day of coordinator. What I love most about Lauren is that she is so much more than her job title. She will serve you and your guests in any way that she can and she always puts others before herself. Lauren is hard working, has an eye for detail, deeply cares for people, and she knows how to take charge. Lauren thinks of the small details and always has your best interests in mind. She cares for details that as a bride or groom, you may not have time to focus on during your wedding day. I have to add that Lauren is also incredibly prepared. She has an entire emergency kit built up for any and all of your wedding day needs. I admire Lauren and her business because she is someone who does not settle and is always looking for ways to improve herself and her work. Lauren is a wonderful communicator as well. She made communication between myself and the other vendors completely seamless. I'm so grateful I had the opportunity to work alongside Lauren and I would choose to do so again and again if I could. I highly recommend working with Lauren and the rest of her team, they're absolutely amazing!

My wife and I had the pleasure of working with the ladies at Everlasting Events for our April 2024 wedding! Erin and Megan did a wonderful job planning our wedding. They helped us decided when, where, and how to set things up with professionalism and constant communication. There were times during the planning process where I was convinced that they cared more about our wedding than we did. It was that enthusiasm and drive we needed to make sure everything went according to plan. Because of their passion, our wedding was amazing. We didn't have to worry about anything being out of place or going wrong. It was to the point where if someone asked me a question I'd tell them to ask Erin or Megan instead because they were the ones who could get stuff done. If you need planning and/or coordination help for an event, there is nobody I trust more than Everlasting Events to get the job done. They will exceed your expectations and leave you with memories to last a lifetime!

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.

  • Serves Watkins, IA for additional fees

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.

I just got married this past weekend. I hired BreAnn months ago to help with day of coordination. From my initial call with her, I knew this would be a good fit. She not only made sure that our wedding day went by seamlessly but also helped me so much along the way. From countless emails and phone calls to making DIY signs and answering my many questions, BreAnn was present every step of the way. She never made me feel like I was bothering her or being annoying. As someone who is a planner, BreAnn made me feel at ease about all things wedding especially the logistics which were a huge source of stress. Do not hesitate to hire BreAnn and her team! They were well worth the investment!!

The SSE team was incredible with contact before and on my wedding, planning, organizing, setting up, and running the whole thing. 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!
