I don’t even know where to start with this review. It’s the day after my wedding and I’m still spinning over how magical they made the day. We initially had two planned dates before scrapping the whole thing and moving to my family’s backyard. I already had most of my vendors but I had NO idea how we would put all the pieces together without the support of a traditional venue. Kara and Laura met with me on a weekly basis for a condensed planning service and always made it seem like I was the only bride they had to work with. They supported all my crazy crafting ideas and made me feel like things might actually work out. I did NOT expect the extensive care they would provide the day of AT ALL. It was insane. They made sure I had food/drinks always and picked up any time I seemed frustrated and ran to help immediately. The two other women they brought were equally as incredible and managed my wild dogs or carried my train at any moment I needed it. I will forever remember them as such a huge part of my day. I keep looking back at photos of the tent and how they set things up and I’m simply in shock at how they took everything out of my brain and put it into reality. All of my guests are absolutely raving about how smoothly everything ran considering how chaotic it could have been. I can’t wait to plan future events with them because I pretty much trust them with my life now. THANK YOU LADIES! You are simply miracle workers. If anyone is considering whether they need planners or not, the answer may not be an immediate yes but boy was this 100000% worth it!!

..to describe how amazing it was working with My Bellissima. I absolutely loved them, and I really think my wedding wouldn’t have been as great if it weren’t for them.

I unfortunately didn’t have it in my budget to hire them for full planning services, but was able to work with them through consulting hours and week of/day of coordination. Laura and Kara are the perfect duo. They are so much fun and extremely knowledgeable. They bounce ideas off each other to create/design the perfect wedding for you. Every time I spoke with them, I would get more and more excited about the wedding and less and less stressed.

Kara and Traci were with me the day of, and I’m so glad they were. All of the details that I had imagined were executed perfectly, and they were always around whenever me or my husband needed anything.

My Bellissima was worth every penny! They made the planning process so easy, stress-free, and filled with excitement. You will not regret working with them. I only regret not working with them earlier. LOVE them!

I couldn't have done it without Kara's help and expertise!!!

For our wedding last fall 2013, my husband and I had a very unique vision of transforming the grounds of my parents farm style home (in NJ) into a wedding venue! As you can imagine, this was going to be quite a task with a 315 person invite-list, the uniqueness of the event and to add to it my husband and I live in Chicago! We immediately looked for a wedding planner to help us take on this task and came upon Laura and Kara from My Bellissima. We instantly felt they were the perfect team to help make our fairytale wedding a reality.

From the very beginning, Laura and Kara provided us with above and beyond service in every aspect of our planning. It felt like they were able to get inside my head and see my vision and then take that to enhance it with all of the best vendors to create something greater than I could have ever imagined.

On the day of our wedding, everything went off without a hitch and they were there for me every step of the way. My family (especially my mom) did not have to worry about any details and spent the night dancing away without a care because of the amazing My Bellissima team. I sincerely believe that future brides would be crazy not to have Laura and Kara and My Bellissima to plan and coordinate their weddings! We had a truly magical wedding night/weekend and could NOT have done it without My Bellissima!!!

hottest trends to classic timeless beauty...My Bellissima does it all with passion and grace. exactly what you want and need on your big day.

very friendly and easy to work with.

My Belissima was the absolute BEST choice for wedding planning!! They were patient, fun, and super organized!! They were highly responsive to all of my emails and phone calls and made us feel like we were their only clients, even though I know they are in very high demand and working on multiple events all the time. They worked extremely hard on making our vision come to life and everything went so perfectly on the day of the wedding! I would definitely use them again for any events in the future and would recommend them to anyone looking for professional event planners.

Kara, Laura and Danielle of My Bellissima are the most genuine wedding planners available. They will take whatever it is that you've been dreaming of and bring it to reality. not only that but they made a 300 person EXTREMELY detailed wedding at oheka castle easy, and stress free. On the day of I didnt have to do a single thing but enjoy myself and celebrate with my family. nobody in my wedding party or my family was worried or stressed out. We all had a blast, it was beautiful. these girls handled all the vendors who had questions and made everything go smoothly. best of all these girls are now my friends, and i love them!

Laura and Kara were amazing to work with. They listened to my "dreams" and made them a reality and even more beautiful then I could have even imagined. They introduced me to FANTASTIC vendors who were amazing to work with, produced quality work, and were in my budget (YAY YAY YAY).

They are organized beyond belief. They created excel spreadsheets that track my spending, created a payment calendar (when checks are due to your different vendors), sent me emails telling me what should be done when and what I should be thinking about. They made everything so easy and not living in NJ where the wedding was being held... they were life savers. They worked with my schedule and set up numerous meetings for when I was in town.

They cared about the big picture and all of the little details that I probably would have forgotten about or just not have imagined were a possibility. They constantly sent me pictures of ideas or came up with elements that were just out of this world amazing. They ordered items for me and stored them in their office so that my parents and I didn't have to worry about it!

They listen to mye thoughts, worries, and cares and worked with me to create what I wanted and not what they want to do (other companies gave me this impression). They were not only my wedding planners but I consider them as my friends. I could not think of more wonderful people and who are truly great at what they do! They treated my July wedding as if it was there own and not only cared about the wedding but about me, my now husband, and family!

Danielle was spectacular!! Very responsive, extremely creative, personable, exceptionally organized and compassionate! I recommended her and My Bellissima to several friends already! Having 2 daughters not marreid I believe I have an investment with she and the vendor in the years to come!! Thank you for a glorious day!!
The theme & details recommended were outstanding!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We Love Danielle!!!
