11/10 Experience

We selected Lion Hearted Events as our Day of Coordinator and they were great! We specifically got aligned to Grace, the owner, and she executed everything to perfection! She was very responsive to all our questions, concerns, and clarifications before the big day! She helped completely transform our venue to exactly how I envisioned it on our wedding day by helping with the setup and placement of all the DIY decor and personal items. She assisted with ensuring we were staying on track with our timeline and made sure we were able to take in every moment in real time. I didn’t worry about a thing! 11/10 experience with Grace and her company!

Lionhearted Events is AMAZING!!!

We used Lionhearted Events for our wedding in Chicago in March of 2024. This is your sign to BOOK!!!! Our day of coordinator, Grace, was absolutely amazing. I could not imagine going through the planning process and the wedding day without her. She was available to answer any questions we had even in the months leading up to the wedding. And then the month of the wedding, she was there every step of the way helping us ensure all the logistics- that would have been extremely overwhelming on our own - were taken care of. We did not have to worry about a single thing. When the wedding day came, all we had to think about was getting married because we knew Grace had everything covered. I cannot stress enough how worth it it is to book a day of coordinator.

10/10 Wedding Planner Experience

My partner & I were so grateful for Grace at Lionhearted Events for helping us plan, execute, and elevate our wedding in Chicago, IL. She was truly the glue that held everything together, from the rehearsal the night before to the end of the night clean-up. We were so thankful for all her clear communication, responsiveness, helpful advice, behind-the-scenes work, collaboration, decision-making, and calm demeanor. Highly recommend booking Grace for your wedding! 10/10!

You Need Grace for Your Wedding!

Grace was amazing. I can't imagine how we could have done our wedding without her. We were in California when we got engaged and she helped us find the most amazing vendors, all within our price point. She was always available when we had a question or needed something. Leading up to the wedding she was at every final event and was always so prepared. Having her there at the rehearsal and the actual wedding was one of the best decisions we could have made. Definitely use Grace & Lionhearted Events for your wedding. We keep getting compliments on how perfect our wedding was and we could not have done it without her!

Great experience!

I worked with Heather as my month of coordinator for a 2/24/24. If you’re wondering if you should get a month or coordinator, do it. I didn’t understand the importance of a timeline before hiring them, but was really thankful to have it on the day! We had a coordinator through our venue, but Heather went above and beyond to make sure that we didn’t have any stressors on the wedding day (even after the wind gusts threatened to knock down all my DIY touches). She even brought extra assistants on the day to ensure that our decor looked exactly as I envisioned. Heather (and team) really helped me to just be able to enjoy the day! (And our photographer complimented that she taught us how to get good pics walking down the aisle!)

The glue that held everything together

Grace was the sole purpose for our wedding going as smoothly as it did-she also worked some magic with our venue and enabled us to pick up our decor the day after, which was so appreciated! The timeline was so helpful to ease an anxious bride’s nerves. She was so responsive always and was a source of calm in the height of the unknown due to covid. Couldn’t recommend more highly!

We love Grace!

Hiring Grace from Lionhearted Events was probably the best decision we made during our wedding planning process. From start to finish she was reliable, professional, and extremely knowledgeable. It was clear from the beginning that she knows exactly what she's doing and that we were in good hands. She was always there to help if we had questions or needed opinions along the way. On the day of the wedding, she did absolutely everything she could to make sure my husband and I had the best possible day. We had a big wedding with a lot of family members with strong personalities, and Grace made sure everyone knew their role and made everything run smoothly. On top of that, she's also a super cool woman and we had a blast with her! Do not hesitate to hire Lionhearted Events!

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you

Grace was AMAZING. Let's be real for a second.. my family is a handful and I can be very scatter brained.. Grace had the perfect amount of sternness to keep everyone in line, yet 'cool, calm, and collected' to keep you at ease. I always felt that she had my back. I do not know what I would have done without her. Thank you Grace!!

This review is long over due. My husband and I were married in May and I’m still raving about how amazing Grace and Lionhearted Events were! From the very beginning Grace was so helpful and attentive. I wasn’t sure about getting a wedding planner but it was absolutely worth EVERY PENNY. Save yourself the stress and headaches and book Lionharted events! I did not do a single thing the week of my wedding and it felt amazing. All I had to worry about on the big day was getting ready and looking good for pictures because Grace had everything else taken care of. She even helped us make a few name cards last second because clearly I am a terrible planner and she rocks (: I recommend her to everyone I know that is getting married because I literally can’t even imagine how my day would have been if I hadn’t had her there. Thank you Grace! You were so amazing and made our day ABSOLUTELY PERFECT!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
