About

New Year's Special! $150 off any of our planning services if booked by Valentine's Day 2024!

The team at AELO are extremely passionate about what we do. Each of us has many years of experience in theatrical management and design, which has taught them how to build a production from scratch, while also nurturing their creativity. Event Production is what we do best!

We are currently offering 3 very different packages:

(Month &) Day Of Coordination
You've thoughtfully put together a beautiful event - now let us expertly execute the details. An AELO Consultant will help you to tie up loose ends and make sure everything comes together without a hitch. Following your initial consultation, we will meet with you 1-2 weeks prior to the event day. We'll connect with every detail you've planned, every vendor you've contracted - then create a detailed schedule and execution plan. Our staff provides high quality, on-site Day of Coordination that includes humor, respect and genuine care for our clients. This package begins at $2300.

Full Wedding Coordination
Too busy? It's a lot of work to plan a wedding. Why not let us handle it? AELO will be there to assist you every step of the way. We will work with you on a realistic budget, help you to select venue(s), and recommend all necessary vendors based on our invaluable list of excellent contacts in the industry. We'll schedule appointments, attend meetings, help you to decide on decor, design and all the details. This package begins at $9000 and includes Day Of Coordination.

Custom Packages are available upon request.

Highly Recommend!

I could not recommend AELO enough! My fiance and I were on the fence about hiring a day of coordinator and we even considered hiring someone who had worked a few weddings as a side gig but was not a professional. However once we spoke with AELO and they worked with our budget, vision, and timeline, we knew we couldn't go with anyone else. We worked with Lauren, who was just fantastic. She was extremely detail oriented, kept up with vendor communications, and really made sure we had nothing to worry about on our wedding day. My fiance and I agree that hiring AELO and having Lauren as our DOC was one of the best decisions we made throughout our entire planning process. Thank you Lauren!!!

Make your wedding planning a breeze!

Carolyn and team were incredibly helpful and made it so easy to turn over wedding planning details the month before. If you're planning a Chicago wedding, they've seen and done it all. They know the best vendors and best practices and truly made wedding planning a breeze for us! Highly recommend this powerhouse team 💪🏼

10/10 recommend!

We truly could not have made our wedding happen without Carolyn and the incredible team at An Event Less Ordinary. They helped keep us and our event on track from start to finish. We can't recommend them enough!
