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.

The best of the best!!!!!!

We truly cannot say enough amazing things about Lety, Veronica, and Patricia! These women are the most attentive, professional, and kind individuals — and they made our wedding the most stress-free day imaginable.

My husband and I had to find a new day-of coordinator less than a month before our wedding because the original team we hired was extremely disorganized and unprofessional. From our very first phone call, Lety instantly made me feel safe, heard, and secure. They are such great listeners and so attentive to detail. They flawlessly executed our day on such short notice!

Veronica is absolutely incredible! She was born to do this and brings such a loving, supportive, and calming presence to the biggest day of your life. My husband and I felt so relaxed all day because she was always one step ahead!

We are unbelievably grateful that The Event Chi was our coordinating team. They prioritize your wedding day as if you are their family member. Just hire them! I promise it will be the best decision you and your partner make!

Wedding 6.27.25

I have nothing but great things to say about The Event Chicago team. I worked directly with Lety and from the very beginning she made me feel comfortable and that I could ask her anything about the process. They truly made our day special by leading and letting me know they would handle everything. I trusted them to make decisions and they delivered far beyond my expectations. I had so many of my guests come and say how amazing Lety and Veronica were and who wanted their information for future events. They made our day so memorable for a variety of reasons but the main one being that they wanted us just to enjoy our day while they handled everything in the background. I would hire them again in an instant! You will not regret hiring them as your wedding coordinators, they are amazing!! Thank you so much for everything!!

Highly recommend!!

The team at The Event Chicago went above and beyond for us at our 60-person wedding this weekend! From our first meeting with Lety to the wedding day with Veronica and Jackie, we were taken care of! In the planning stages, Lety left no detail unaddressed and noted everything which was a breath of fresh air for a couple with little to no idea how to plan a wedding and lots to keep track of. Ahead of the wedding, Lety diligently worked with an assortment of vendors and kept in constant communication. Lety also provided us with a timeline of the day which was a lifesaver! When it came to the wedding day, this team handled extreme weather conditions, unexpected guests, vendor delivery/pickup, photography suggestions, and everything else with ease. Our guests spoke so highly of Veronica and Jackie all evening! They were professional, experienced, thoughtful, proactive, and resourceful. This team is truly amazing, and we would recommend them to anyone!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
