Michelle with Bustle and Lace was incredible on every single front of the wedding planning process up to the wedding itself. We had five to six meetings with her, which were well planned, covered a lot of areas, and were extremely helpful. We loved how collaborative and honest she was if we came to her for an idea. Outside of our meetings, Michelle was always very responsive via email and provided endless feedback and guidance. There were many parts of our wedding that we previously envisioned, while other parts she helped us develop - she was truly the person that brought our dream wedding to life. There were unique requests we had for our wedding day, which some involved Michelle doing extra tasks, and she ensured they all happened. When looking back at our wedding and everything leading up to it, we strongly believe that our wedding day would not have been what it was without her. Michelle has a calm presences that is contagious. She always reassured us that we were doing great in the planning process and that everything would come together as we hoped - which it did. On our wedding day, Michelle was an absolute gem and we had no worries. We had such confidence in her to make sure everything was taken care of. If we had any questions or concerns, she was right there making sure everything was addressed. Many of our family and friends also acknowledged Michelle’s friendliness, professionalism, and care during one of the most important days of our lives. We could honestly go on and on about how amazing Michelle is at what she does - we highly recommend her to be your wedding planner next. - The Bullocks

Michelle was absolutely wonderful. She helped us find/secure an amazing venue (Salvage One!) and kept us on schedule throughout the entire process. Extremely well organized and responsive with helpful templates/recommendations for all of the different decision-making parts to wedding planning. We especially appreciated how calm and even-tempered she was (and also adept at handling unexpected extra parent questions!). Our wedding of 200 people that included some extra parts (tea ceremony) went off without a hitch and we are so thankful that Michelle helped make it happen!

Do yourself a favor and hire Michelle as your wedding coordinator NOW!!! My husband and I got married last weekend, and both we and our guests are still raving about how perfect the day was - the timing, the decorations, the vendors, everything was absolutely beautiful and executed to perfection. This was all thanks to Michelle and the Bustle and Lace team! We hired Michelle as our wedding coordinator about 1.5 years before our wedding date, and we had helpful check-in meetings every few months to make sure we were on track in hiring vendors, pulling together our day-of schedule, planning for decor, etc, etc, etc. Michelle kept us on track throughout the planning process, and always had helpful templates and advice for every part of the process! Michelle is so responsive and has an answer backed by experience for every question that was asked. Our day was absolutely perfect, and it was all thanks for Michelle and her team working behind the scenes!

Michelle and her team were the peanut butter to our jelly. Our wedding day would never have been such a perfect occasion had it not been for their flexibility, attention to detail, thoughtfulness, and commitment to the occasion. Everything from the meetings leading up to the wedding, to the final walk through, the rehearsal, and the big day were so seamless and stress-free that I could never fathom not having Michelle by our side throughout the whole process. I said it before and I will say it again... Bustle and Lace is worth their weight in gold for the services they provide. It was a recommendation given to us by another couple, and I wanted to post here to say that I am wholeheartedly recommending Michelle and her team at Bustle and Lace to every single bride, groom, and soon-to-be-wed human in this world!!

Hiring Michelle was by far the best decision we made for our wedding. There are not enough words to describe how awesome she is! Michelle is exactly what you need for your wedding- a calm, easy-going, genuinely kind human to run the show. From the very first meeting, we knew we had made the right choice. Michelle was always very responsive via email, had so many great suggestions, and helped us plan an even better wedding than we could've imagined. Michelle helped us create a perfect timeline that allowed our vision to come to life. The week of our wedding Michelle handled all vendor communication so that we could relax. The day of the wedding we did not have to do a single thing, we got to be fully present and enjoy our wedding while Michelle handled everything. Anything that came up that needed taking care of, Michelle would just smile and say- "it's handled" over and over again. Our families had nothing but great things to say about Michelle as well, they noticed how she handled everything so smoothly and appreciated her hard work. Michelle went above and beyond, and we couldn't be more thankful. She is such a kind person and we are thrilled she got to be a part of our day. She was also so genuinely excited for our wedding and all of our cultural additions, which was such a compliment! We highly recommend Bustle and Lace, you will not regret it!
Again, thank you Michelle!!!

I truly cannot say enough good things about Michelle and Bustle and Lace. Michelle was an absolute dream to work with. She’s so kind, calming, and wonderful. She was incredibly responsive and went above and beyond throughout the whole planning process. During the wedding itself, she was absolutely invaluable. When our DJ wasn’t playing our slideshow the way we wanted—Michelle handled it. When a guest didn’t get the meal she wanted—Michelle handled it (and the guest said she was so sweet about it.) When it was time to get drunk guests out the door at the end of the night—Michelle handled it perfectly. She was also so so helpful in keeping us on schedule during the wedding, helping us with last minute details the morning off, taking care of details with our vendors, and just being an all around great presence. I had high expectations going in based on the other reviews I saw, and Michelle surpassed all of them. Can’t recommend her enough.

Michelle and her team were one of the best decisions we made for our wedding! Michelle was incredibly helpful throughout the whole wedding process, always happy to answer the hundreds of questions we had. She was organized, thoughtful, never pushed us to do anything we didn’t want to, and always went above and beyond. There were multiple times where I asked Michelle about how to do something on my checklist, only to find out Michelle already had it handled! The day of, Michelle and her assistants made the day go on without a hitch - they set up our decor perfectly, made sure we had everything we needed, and moved the night along perfectly accordingly to our timeline. Plus, Michelle is just a total joy to work with!! She was such a bright presence throughout our wedding planning and we really couldn’t have had our perfect day without her. We cannot thank her enough!!

If you are looking for someone to treat you and yours like family and to treat your wedding as if it were her own...look no further. Michelle provided the day-of-coordinator services for our wedding on June 9th, 2023, but she provided FAR more than we expected. While Michelle went above and beyond as far as her job description goes, we were twice as impressed with the kindness and thoughtfulness demonstrated toward our family bridal party, and guests. Michelle is more than a hired day-of-coordinator to us, we truly think of her as family! She helped to execute all wedding visions beyond measure, and more than that, helped us to stay in the moment, and enjoy every aspect of our day. Without Michelle, I guarantee our wedding would not have been the same. We are deeply grateful for the love she showed us and the deep attentiveness she showed to every task, challenge or change of plan that she was presented with. I would entrust Michelle with our day again, and again. We love you Michelle!

My husband and I will forever be grateful for working with Michelle to plan our wedding -- from day one she was so organized, honest, and uplifting, and made it very evident to us that she was here to not only help us plan our day and keep us on track in terms of budget and planning timelines, but to truly get to know us and bring our vision for our wedding to life. She is incredibly talented and amazing at what she does, and brings such a calming and comforting presence to have with you by your side during the wedding day itself, and goes above and beyond to make sure your day goes as smoothly and as stress-free as possible so you get to have as much fun as your guests on your wedding day. My husband and I were honestly bummed when our wedding ended because it meant we wouldn't have our monthly check-in calls to vent about things or bounce creative ideas with her! From seating charts, to vendor-securement/communication, RSVPs and more, Michelle will guide you and collaborate with you every step of the way to ensure that your wedding is an authentic representation of you and your partner. She made us feel so special and so cared for. Easily the best decision we made during the whole wedding process was hiring Michelle for partial wedding planning! Don't hesitate to work with her -- you will be so thankful that you did!

We hired Michelle for our April 2023 wedding and cannot say enough good things about her. From the start, she had such a calming and reassuring presence that made me feel relaxed throughout the planning process and the day of. She was incredible with recommending vendors and creating a seamless time line. She communicated with vendors and did so much coordinating with multiple vendor behind the scenes. As far as we are aware, our wedding day went off without a hitch. We cannot stop talking about how truly perfect our day was. I would 100% recommend Michelle for any planning their wedding in the Chicago area.
