My husband and I were recently married at the Chicago Botanic Garden and Katie was our amazing wedding planner. Katie made our wedding day absolutely perfect and the day was effortless for us. This allowed us to fully enjoyed our special day. During the wedding planning process Katie responded to every single one of the hundred or so of exchanged emails between us and always within minutes. It is weeks later and my husband and I still talk about some aspect of our wedding at least once a day. I can't say enough nice things about Katie and we will never forget what she did for us. Thank you Katie for making our wedding day truly spectacular.

If I could give Katie and "So Dressed Up" 100 stars I would. Katie was such a joy to work with in the months leading up to my October 31 wedding. She is extremely responsive, accommodating, helpful, creative, insightful and kind. She works diligently to bring your vision and desires for the big day to life. When the big day finally arrived I felt I was in safe and capable hands with Katie and her assistant at the helm and that proved to be correct. My husband and parents also cannot thank Katie and her staff enough for all of their help. If you are looking for the best wedding and event planner in Chicago look no further than So Dressed Up.

Katie Jackson-Meara and CJ Walstrom are two of the best in this business! Katie did the vast majority of the prep work, helping me set everything up. CJ did the follow-up and day of work. It was an amazingly seamless and perfect day! Every single person working our wedding knew exactly what was going on and what to do (thanks to Katie's minute-by-minute timeline which was given to every vendor so everyone knew exactly what was happening and when). Not one person came up and asked me or my husband a question. We were able to enjoy the entire night with each other and all our guests. It was perfect. Katie did an amazing job helping to us to make our dream wedding come true! Katie and CJ were an amazing team and I couldn't have done it without them! I would HIGHLY recommend So Dressed Up for any type of event. Their professionalism and attention to detail was exactly what we were looking for for our wedding. Couldn't be happier with the results!!! Thank you both so much!!!
