Highly Recommended

Sonya is very friendly, genuine, and easy to work with. She truly puts her heart in ensuring her client's event is a success. I have a Type A personality when it comes to event planning and I don't have to question Sonya's work because she delivers beyond my expectation. Her communication and organization skills are her strengths as she is always keeping her client in the loop. There is no question on how your event will go if Sonya is on your team! She always puts her client first and ensures the event will be a success. She brings her expertise in decision making and comes with versatile event planning experiences. Sonya literally makes your vision a reality... in other words, a dream come true! =)

Amazing planner who can handle it all!

Sonya is an amazing wedding planner and our wedding would not have happened without her! She very thoughtful, extremely organized, and fun to be around. Our wedding planning started pre-pandemic but as 2020 progressed, she helped us navigate complicated logistics including state mandated restrictions for both the ceremony and reception. She can help with anything, including finding a last minute officiant (herself) and we contracted her for all the floral and decor. She also seems to have a lot of great relationships with wedding vendors in the Chicagoland area. This was very helpful in coordinating efforts among different groups of people. We would highly recommend Sonya to anyone else getting married. Sonya made our wedding dreams come true!

The best wedding planner ever!

Wow! Just wow!!!! When we first met Sonya, I never felt that such a connection to a person! She made me feel like I’ve known her my whole life. She made planning our wedding so easy and organized. She went above and beyond, and even came in clutch in last minute adjustments. 1,000/10 recommend!
