Creating Memories did an amazing job with planning our wedding. It was everything we had hoped for, and more! Lovely staff and amazing ideas. They were very flexible and organized, which also helped a lot! The staff she hired to help cater our event was very helpful and welcoming to all our guests and their needs. I highly recommend and I will for sure be using them again in the future!

Creating Memories made our wedding flawless and stress free. They knew I was on a tight budget and still made my wedding a 10! If I had to do this all over again, I would still hire them. Creating Memories were not just a "want", but a "must-have"! They really knew how to take my ideas and turn them into something wonderful. Thank you Stephanie, Teresa, and Sarah! I will recommend you to everyone I know!

Very reasonable and responsive. They are great ladies to plan with. And they are very creative. Whenever I had ideas or questions they were fast to respond and give me feed back. Would recommend them to everyone with big or small events.

My wedding was in the fall of 2014. I had a very tight budget, as I was paying for my own. So I hired "CREATING MEMORIES" which was close to my area of Gurnee, IL. They were so professional and attentive to my needs and wants of a "Great Gatsby" themed wedding. They were able to provide me with different and more inexpensive ideas that would cut a lot of my cost. All in all, they made my day a day I will never forget! Thank you "CREATING MEMORIES," thank you!!!
