Thank you Five Grain Events!
Huge thank you to Colleen with Five Grain Events for making our wedding day go smoothly—everything was perfect and if it wasn’t, we didn’t know about it. We hired Five Grain for Day-of Coordination, and they were amazing to work with from the first meeting. Colleen handled all the little details so well and picked up the vendor communications about two months out. It was also helpful that I could reach out to them for general advice while I was planning the wedding—and I referenced their preferred vendor list frequently.
We LOVED the detailed timelines Colleen put together for us, vendors, and wedding party. I have never gotten that as a bridesmaid in friends’ weddings, so it was a pleasant surprise that made everyone more organized. She also collected many of our items for the day-of ahead of time, which was very helpful!
On wedding day, Colleen was so helpful and even placed my veil in the morning and bustled my dress before the reception. Because of all the prep work she put in, we had full confidence that the day would be smooth, and she exceeded our expectations. It was truly the best day of our lives and not having to worry about any coordinating was amazing!

We are so happy we went with Five Grain Events
We were so glad we hired Five Grain Events to coordinate our September wedding at the Chicago Athletic Club. Planning a wedding felt like the epitome of “you don’t know what you don’t know”, so having our coordinator’s guidance on considerations and decisions we needed to make leading up to our wedding day was incredibly helpful. Jennifer our coordinator was incredibly communicative with us, our vendors, and my mother who was hosting our wedding. When their was an issue getting in touch with our florist the week leading up to our wedding, Jennifer was there to help (and calm me down!). When planning our day of schedule, Jennifer suggested that hors d'oeuvres and champagne could be brought to the room I was having my dress bustled in so that my husband and I could have a moment together between our ceremony and reception. Leading up to the wedding we didn’t think we would need that, but Jennifer suggested we leave it on the schedule as an option that we could decide on the day of. I’m so glad she did because that is one of our favorite moments from our wedding day! We cannot recommend Five Grain Events, and specifically Jennifer, enough!

5 Star Wedding Planners
We had a great experience working with Joan & Jesseca at Five Grain Events! They are very professional and knowledgeable - they thought of everything we didn't! Joan helped us with the initial budgeting planning/process and Jesseca was our coordinator. Our wedding with 175 guests was held at St. Giles Church, with reception at Chicago Athletic Association. Jesseca and the Five Grain team did an amazing job managing multiple vendors and making sure everything was organized, on time and running smoothly. Plus they are awesome people! Highly recommend the Five Grain team.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
Joan helps create events that are flawless from beginning to end. Her warmth, professionalism and organizational skills make her a thrill to work with. If you have an event coming up, you will be in good hands with Five Grain Events!
Five Grain Events is awesome!! As the Wedding & Special Events Coordinator at Windy City Limos, I have worked with them A TON. Every experience has been unique, yet successful. I would recommend them for a number of reasons:
1) Joan & her team are always on top of the planning. Transportation is one of the last things that usually gets planned/confirmed with weddings. They always reach out to me at least a month prior to service.
2) They always look over the contracts and advise if any changes are needed. This ensures that each vehicle is booked for the correct number of hours, has all the correct details, and most importantly--has a finalized itinerary.
3) Joan, Emily, Ashley, & Jennifer have all been a pleasure to work with. Whether we are planning the transportation start to finish, or they are just confirming for their clients--Everything is always done with a positive attitude. We all know working in the wedding industry can be stressful, so having an entire team with such a positive outlook definitely helps.
4) They always send out Thank Yous to the vendors. No matter how many weddings I have worked with them on, I always receive a personalized note. This goes a long way!
In all, I trust Five Grain Events every time we work together.
