Simply the best!

I got engaged in August of 2020 and Blair immediately jumped into action. As one of my dearest friends and a wedding planner she was super excited come up with a game plan for the next year which was fantastic because I had no idea where to start.

Blair is one of the most professional, level headed, organized, punctual, creative people I know. She was seriously the lifeline I needed while I was planning the wedding AND on the day of. I felt like every step of the way she had my back and knew exactly what my next steps should be whenever I got stuck. Anytime I got anxious about something, she reassured me she had it handled and once the day finally came, she definitely proved it; I didn't have to think or worry about anything. Blair is so easy to get along with, she makes what seems like it's going to be a super stressful task (planning a wedding) into something fun, which is what it should be! I also have to say Blair has some great relationships with tons of vendors, it makes so many of the other hard decisions that much easier (like picking a photographer, florist, etc).

I can rave about Blair and BW Studio + Events forever but I'll just leave with this last comment : Blair and her team are great, they know exactly how to handle any and all curveballs and they do it with a reassuring smile the whole time. It's pretty great.

The best day of coordinators!

Angelena and Blair were absolutely fantastic as our day-of coordinators! From the moment we met them, both women were incredibly friendly, professional, and communicative, which immediately put us at ease. They jumped in three months before the wedding and held calls with us and took over coordinating with vendors, which kept everything organized and on track leading up to the big day.

Their planning calls were so thorough and thoughtful that, as a very type A bride, I truly felt comfortable relinquishing the reins and trusting them completely. On the wedding day itself, both women were phenomenal. They handled every detail seamlessly, solved problems calmly and efficiently (including an issue with the wrong cake received!), and maintained such a steady, positive presence throughout the day.

Not only did we love working with them, but our family members and bridal party kept commenting on how wonderful they were as well. We genuinely could not have asked for a better experience and would recommend them to anyone looking for coordinators who are organized, dependable, and truly care about making your day perfect. We love you BW Studio + Events!

Book bw events!

I knew I would need a day-of coordinator because I wanted all of my family and friends to enjoy the day with me and not be the 'point person' for emergencies. But I had no idea how much we really were going to need a coordinator, THANK GOD for Blair and her team!! I had no idea how much planning went into weddings, all the little details to keep track of, the timeline for the day, the day of emergencies.. Even if you think you're pretty organized and can do it alone... BOOK a day of coordinator.. and especially this one! This wedding literally would not have happened without Blair and her team. It made the endless decisions and little details easier to keep track of and made it much less overwhelming. And the day of, BW staff were excellent at keeping us on track for photos, helping me with my bustle for about 10 minutes (sorry ladies!), and keeping everything running smoothly. Cannot thank or recommend them enough!

BW Studio + Events - Wedding Services

We used BW Studio at the end of our planning process for the day of and the final details. Blair was a huge help with making sure we stayed on track. She also took care of coordinating the wedding vendors and made sure I had nothing to worry about on the big day. I highly recommend using their services.

Hire BW Studio + Events!

Blair was our wedding planner over Labor Day Weekend at Revel Motor Row in Chicago. She made me feel comfortable from the very beginning, which made the whole process feel manageable and even fun! She is extremely organized, providing a comprehensive planning website and gentle reminders to keep us on track. She is also quick to respond to all questions from me as well as my parents and all vendors in a kind and professional manner. On the day of the wedding, Blair and her team were everywhere at once, making sure every detail ran smoothly so that we could be fully present and enjoy ourselves! We are so grateful for her thoughtful guidance and approach. Would highly recommend BW Studio to help plan any memorable event!

The Best Vendor You'll Have

Our team - Neva & Kim - were amazing! From starting the process of searching for a day of coordinator nearly 18 months ago, we knew that BW Studio + Events was for us. Through every step of the process, they were available for questions and assistance of all kinds. Our wedding day truly could not have gone smoother. I did not have to worry about any detail being executed, as it was already done before I even thought about it! Their expertise on the wedding industry is above the standard. While pricing may seem high initially compared to a traditional day of coordinator, what you get in return with actually like ~3 months of assistance (at the times that really matter), BW Studio + Events was more than well worth it!

BW Studio is the best!!

BW Studio is truly the best planning team we could have asked for—especially for our Mexican-American wedding! From our first meeting, Blair and Neva knew exactly what the vision was and fully executed it. They helped us blend two cultures so beautifully, from the ceremony to the reception. I really appreciated their attention to detail, always thinking one step ahead and ensuring the day went smoothly. So so grateful to have partnered with them and cannot say enough good things about them. They are the best!!

This is your sign to hire BW Studio + Events!

Blair and her team, Elly and Neva, were lifesavers for our wedding! We met her team during an open house for The Brix, the venue where we had our reception. We found out that my cousin was also working with her for his wedding and he had the most amazing things to say so we knew we were in good hands! Blair is easy to talk to and work with, professional, kind, understanding, and extremely organized! She helped us stick to our budget, coordinate with other vendors, and gave us so many recommendations and options for high quality vendors. Blair is extremely responsive! We loved how quickly she was responding to any questions we had and I also really appreciated the nudges on deadlines! We have extremely busy schedules and we travel often, so the frequent reminders and check-ins were crucial. We were grateful that there were scheduled talks intermittently throughout the planning process. It really helped us manage the timeline and logistics. If you’re a Type-A Bride, you will love the website they put together to help keep things organized (seating chart, vendors etc). On the big day, Blair and her team ensured everything ran smoothly, allowing us to enjoy ourselves. My husband and I highly recommend BW Studio for anyone looking to make their wedding stress-free and memorable!

Incredible Partnership

BW Studios was amazing to work with. Blair made our partnership feel personal early on by connecting with us and seeking to truly understand our wedding vision. She was incredibly professional, organized, and thoughtful throughout the few months we worked with her, setting check-in meetings and providing helpful inspiration along the way.

In the weeks leading up to our wedding, Blair really stepped in and managed all of our wedding vendors skillfully, leading to a seamless wedding day!

The day of the wedding, BW Studios took over our wedding venue – they set everything up exactly as we had planned, answered questions from staff and guests, and even fluffed the bride’s dress as she turned the corner of the aisle with her father.

As the night rolled on, BW Studios was there to lead us to our places, our cake cutting, and everything in between as we were caught up in the excitement of our wedding. They were always making sure everything played out perfectly! And when the reception came to a close, Blair and team collected all of our most important items, as well as some memorabilia we hadn’t had much time with, and had them neatly packaged up for us.

Overall, we can’t recommend BW Studios enough; if you want someone beyond a mere wedding coordinator, you’ll find them a great partner to work with and take so much stress out of the planning and the big day itself. Cheers!
