made our day perfect!

We truly cannot say enough amazing things about our wedding coordinators, Lety, Alexis, and Veronica! They were such an important part of making our wedding day everything we hoped it would be.

Their help started months before the wedding. They worked with us to make sure everything was organized, communicated and connected with our vendors, and made sure all of the details were coming together as the big day approached. Having them there throughout the process gave us so much peace of mind knowing that everything was being taken care of.

On the day of our wedding, they were absolutely incredible. They made sure everything ran smoothly and stayed on schedule from beginning to end. They handled communication with our vendors, answered questions, addressed any concerns that came up, and took care of all the little things behind the scenes so that we didn't have to worry about anything.

Most importantly, they made sure that my groom and I were able to actually enjoy our wedding. They constantly checked in on us, made sure we had everything we needed, and allowed us to be fully present and enjoy such a special day with our family and friends.

We are so incredibly grateful for Lety, Alexis, and Veronica and all of the time, effort, and care they put into making our wedding day so special. Knowing they were there handling everything allowed us to relax and truly enjoy every moment. We couldn't have asked for a better team and would recommend them to any couple looking for coordinators who genuinely care about making your wedding day as stress-free and beautiful as possible. Thank you ladies for everything!

Best Decision Ever!

I truly cannot say enough amazing things about our coordinators (Lety and Veronica). They were absolutely incredible from beginning to end and played such a huge role in making our wedding day everything we dreamed it would be.

From the moment they arrived, I felt like I could completely relax and actually enjoy the day. They handled every detail so seamlessly, kept everything running smoothly, and were always one step ahead of anything we needed. I never felt stressed or worried because I knew everything was in such capable hands.

Beyond being organized and professional, they were genuinely so kind, calm, and wonderful to have around. You could tell how much they cared about making the day perfect for us, and that meant more than I can put into words.

Our wedding would not have been the same without them. We are endlessly grateful for everything they did for us and would recommend them a million times over. Truly the BEST decision we made!

Best Day of Team

I cannot recommend this team enough! They were truly one of the absolute best decisions we made for our wedding day. From start to finish, the entire team was incredibly organized, professional, attentive, and always one step ahead.

They made sure every detail was handled, kept everything running smoothly, and allowed us to actually relax and enjoy our wedding without worrying about what was happening behind the scenes. Any question, last-minute detail, or adjustment was handled seamlessly, and their calm and organized presence made such a difference throughout the entire day.

Our wedding was everything we hoped it would be, and they played such a huge role in making that happen. If you are planning a wedding, a day-of coordinator like this is an absolute MUST, and I would recommend this team to anyone without hesitation. We are so incredibly grateful for everything they did to make our day so special and perfect!

Cannot recommend enough!

We had an amazing experience with The Event Chicago and Lety. She took care of every detail and kept our entire day running smoothly and on schedule, which allowed us to truly enjoy every moment without worrying about the logistics.
She was incredibly organized, attentive, and genuinely kind throughout the entire process. She was always prompt in answering my questions and made me feel supported every step of the way. She also attended our final walkthrough to make sure she fully understood my vision, and she executed everything beautifully.
We are so grateful for all of her hard work and highly recommend her to any couple looking for someone who is professional, dependable, and truly cares about making your wedding day perfect!

The Event Chicago - The Best of the Best!

Chicagoland brides, if you’re currently searching for a wedding planner or on the fence, this review is for you! From one bride to another, hear me out — The Event Chicago is the one. Period. There’s no one better equipped to plan your wedding than Lety and her team. The level of experience and expertise, not to mention the warmth and kindness that they all bring, is next level. Seriously, watching them in action — they’re like the SEAL Team 6 of weddings! The best part? They make sure that the bride and groom’s needs are taken care of above all else. For the entire year leading up to the wedding, our biggest advocate and support system was Lety. She was always quick to respond, creating a constant and reliable channel of communication. Any confusion or ambiguity during the planning process was immediately addressed or resolved. She handled every question, issue, or idea right away, and without judgement! That is what drew me to this team in the first place. From the very first conversation that I had with Lety, I could tell that she cared about our day and us as a couple. She made it known immediately that she had our backs and she was going to do everything possible to make my ‘colorful’ and ‘vibrant’ vision a reality! On the actual day, we were able to make this happen and the space was exactly as I had imagined it! Our guests were gawking at the decor and raving about the small details that we had curated. Behind the scenes, this was weeks and weeks of constant back and forth conversations. Tweaking and updating and pivoting. Throughout it all, Lety’s dedication and commitment never wavered! At the end of the night, the people were lit and the vibes were so high that no one wanted to leave the dance floor! I had to physically usher people towards the exit. I think based on that, we can say that the night was a huge success! Big THANK YOU to Lety and team for helping us plan our dream wedding!!!

Best coordinator team

If you are on the fence about hiring a day-of coordinator, this is your sign to do it, and this is the team you want by your side.

Lety started the conversation with us and was clear, friendly, and incredibly helpful from the very beginning. On the wedding day she brought such a sense of calm, handled every detail effortlessly, and executed my DIY touches so beautifully. Veronica was just as amazing, keeping the timeline perfectly on track and managing the guests around me with so much professionalism and care. The moment I saw them both on our wedding day, I knew we were in the best hands. -The Maldonados

Great service!

I am so thankful to have had Lety coordinate our wedding on the day of. She did a fantastic job throughout the entire planning process making sure she knew every detail to make our day seamless and special. From preparing the wedding timeline and coordinating with vendors, to wrangling our dogs during our first look photo shoot, she kept everything on track and organized. Xiomara was also very kind and made sure we had everything we needed during our special evening!

Thank you both! Would definitely recommend them to our friends and family for any type of event.

Brides- you need them

My wedding would not have been possible without them. From set up to tear down, they did it ALL. My bustle broke on my dress right after cocktail hour and the team had everything you could think of to fix it (sewing kit, fabric gun, safety pins etc). They were so attentive and truly made me feel so comfortable and allowed me to relax on my wedding day. I cannot recommend them enough!!

Excellent Team - Highly Recommend!

Lety and her team were fantastic! We hired them for day-of coordination, but they started helping a month early, finalizing vendor details and creating our timeline.
On the wedding day, they kept everything on schedule and coordinated seamlessly with all our vendors. What impressed us most was their thoughtful personal care - they regularly checked if we needed food or drinks and brought us plates during cocktail hour and dessert so we could enjoy the celebration without missing anything.
Their professionalism and attention to detail allowed us to stay present and enjoy our special day without worrying about logistics. Thanks to Lety's team, our wedding ran smoothly from start to finish.

Highly recommended!!

Working with The Event Chicago, Lety, & Veronica was truly a pleasure! We did the partial planning package, and honestly looking back I would have just done the full service. Lety was always professional, organized, detailed, and reassuring; everything you need during the rollercoaster of emotions one goes through during wedding planning. All of the vendors she found for us were incredible to work with also! There were times where we felt super anxious, frustrated, and unsure of everything, but whenever we'd talk to Lety or any of our vendors, we'd come out of the meetings feeling 10x better. I truly don't think without her and her experience, our wedding would have been what it been. The day itself was seamless and her and Veronica did not let me lift a finger! They were attentive and always one step ahead and they are always within your peripheral so if I ever needed her, she was right there. We got so many compliments from our friends and family about them too. The only sad part is with the wedding over, so are our communications! I can't recommend them enough to future couples.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
