I was hoping that I would be able to hire Madeline to help plan my wedding based on reviews I read and personal reviews but she was already engaged. However, she started to provide a Wedding Timeline consultation service and all I can say is WOW! She was so easy to work with and had answers to all my questions. She took a ton of worries and stress off my plate by helping me create a timeline for my wedding day. I highly recommend using her timeline services if you want to do the majority of the planning for your wedding but need a little guidance! She is amazing!!

Madeline and Carly made sure that my day was absolutely perfect! From the moment I booked Greater Joy Events for Day of Wedding Coordination to the very end of my wedding day, Madeline and Carly ensured that everything was perfect. I felt so at ease knowing that I had someone to handle the logistics and to make sure my vision was executed! I specifically loved Madeline's calm demeanor during the times where things were a little crazy! It was so nice to have someone there who could look at the big picture and to make sure everything went well! They were always available for questions leading up to the wedding day and the organization and timeline was so spot on.

Overall- I could not recommend Greater Joy Events, Madeline and Carly more for a day of wedding coordination service. They were so spot on and it truly was a huge part of why the day ran so smoothly.

Madeline is incredible to say the least - I am a type A personality, and thought I had it all figured out, and she helped me realize there were so many things I hadn't thought of, and she made sure our day was perfect! On the day of, everyone kept telling me how calm I was, and asked how that was possible, and I literally said "I know Madeline will handle it", and she did! She thought of everything to make our day perfect, and was so thoughtful and intentional on everything that was important to us. She is one of the best decisions for our wedding day, and I am so grateful to her!

Madeline was absolutely FANTASTIC. She is extremely organized and easy to work with. We had multiple meetings prior to her doing my day of coordination. She was in close contact with my vendors and kept everyone informed of timelines. If you’re considering having a coordinator, please do it. Having her working behind the scenes on our day eliminated so much stress. It made our day so easy and enjoyable. I couldn’t recommend her more.

We decided about 8 months before our wedding to look into month/day of coordinators and Madeline was our first choice. By some miracle she had our day available and I am forever grateful she did! We were also blessed that she was able to coordinate our ceremony through the Diocese of Peoria. From the first time we contacted her until after our wedding I was overwhelmed with how wonderful she was. Everything she did was so helpful to make that last month and the day of our wedding so much more enjoyable. From tips and checklists, to contacting vendors, to the set up on the big day; we could not have done it without her. It was even more reassuring with the ever changing pandemic to know that she would be there through any obstacle. Sure enough, the whole day was flawless and it was all thanks to her timeline and coordination. I can truly say I didn’t stress about one thing on our wedding day because I knew whatever happened she would make it perfect. She even captured some “behind the scenes” videos that I will treasure forever! Both my husband and I agree this was the best and most invaluable decision we made for our wedding. The only thing I would change is contacting her sooner. Every bride (&groom) deserves a coordinator on their wedding day!

My husband and I could not recommend Greater Joy Events enough! Throughout the entire wedding planning process Madeline was kind, organized, and communicative. Not only did she support the vision we had, she also offered helpful suggestions when we were unsure about decisions or had questions. Our wedding was 2 days comprised of a cultural Pakistani ceremony followed by a Christian ceremony/traditional reception. Madeline was on top of everything both days! I truly never worried once during our wedding weekend - I got to be fully engaged and enjoy the day because I knew Madeline was there and taking care of everything. Thank you Madeline for making our weekend so smooth and beautiful!

We hired Greater Joy Events for a Wedding Day Coordination. Madeline's hard work and attention to detail helped make our wedding day go smoothly and be truly unique and memorable. She worked closely with my wife and I to make sure that our vision became a reality.

Even during Coronavirus she made it a stress free process and let us enjoy the day with the reassurance that Madeline had done all the preparation and was there to make sure everything was going according to plan.

We really couldn't imagine trying to plan the wedding without her and would recommend Greater Joy Events to anyone!

My husband and I cannot say enough great things about Madeline! She was always available to talk to, very knowledgable and extremely organized. I would highly recommend Madeline to anyone considering a wedding or day planner! She helped alleviate any stress leading up to the day of the wedding and was extremely diligent in finding a replacement vendor when one of ours became ill the day before the wedding.

Madeline made sure every single detail was perfect during our big day, and I cannot recommend her enough to help make your dream wedding a reality! She was the best wedding decision we made!!

First of all, I want to say that Madeline is one of the sweetest and kindest people. She is the absolute best. Madeline was so attentive to our needs/wants. She was always giving the best ideas to make our vision really come to life. She stuck with us through the struggles of getting married during COVID, and made it way less stressful for us. She took care of all the small details-that we would never have thought of. Her wedding timeline was amazing, and fit all of our ideas and things that we wanted to do. There were so many changes due to COVID, and she literally made everything so easy. We even had to change our ceremony from outside to indoors 45 minutes before the ceremony, and she even made that transition better than we could have imagined. She helped with set up and tear down, making the list of things we needed to worry about so small. All we have to say is that if you are looking for a wedding planner or coordinator, then this is your gal. We got to focus on embracing every single second of our wedding day without any stress. Madeline is the best of the best!

Madeline was an amazing day of coordinator. She went above and beyond her “day of” responsibilities and assisted in planning and organization of vendors. Madeline has such attention to detail and thinks of things you won’t! She’s sweet, smart, professional and chill! I would highly recommend hiring her so that you don’t have to stress at all on your wedding day!
