Best price for value out there

Nicole, Colleen, and the rest of the Urban Allure team did all of the florals for our wedding and it completely exceeded all of my expectations. Nicole worked with me over several meetings to help me bring my vision to life. She had amazing creative ideas that I would have never thought of on my own and really understood what we were going for. They hung florals, disco balls, and even chandeliers over our dance floor, creating the most stunning environment. Colleen, who handled a lot of the floral sourcing, even included some beautiful blooms from her personal garden in our arrangements. It was such a special touch.
Choosing Urban Allure was one of the BEST vendor decisions I could have made and I'd recommend them to anyone.

Highly recommend!

We worked with Nicole and Urban Allure for our wedding (Day of Coordination) and we could not say enough great things about Nicole! She worked with us in the last few weeks leading up to finalize our details and made sure everything went perfectly on the day of.

This team is worth their weight in GOLD

Having a wedding planner is the absolute best decision you can make for your wedding day, but an even better decision is hiring Urban Allure Events as your planning team.

We had the incredible pleasure of having Nicole, the owner be our lead planner for the day of our wedding. She is proactive, responsive and a masterful timeline creator. Our wedding day was flawless in large part because of Nicole. Whenever she had even a whiff of something going sideways, she had almost a sixth sense to get in front of it and fix it without me ever having to worry about it. Details I thought I had nailed, she thought of and made it even better than I dreamed.

From our first call with Nicole she asked what we were worried/stressed about and as a marketer who's planned and hosted many events I told her my only worry was being wrapped up in making sure everyone else had a good time and that I wouldn't focus on myself having a good one. She took that to heart and made sure literally the only thing I thought about was being present with my new husband, family and friends the entire day.

People kept asking me "how are you so calm?" and my answer was "I don't have to worry about anything, I have Nicole and the Urban Allure team."

Book them now and watch your wedding of your dreams come to life!

Issabelle is amazing!

We worked with Issabelle from Urban Allure as our month of coordinator, and she was incredible. Very helpful, always responsive to questions, and kept us on track leading up to the big day. She made sure our day of timeline was thorough, including to make sure we had time before the reception to see the space and practice our first dance. Issabelle made sure we had time alone to take it all in. She checked on us throughout getting ready, photos, and the reception to make sure we were happy and things were going smoothly. She coordinated with all of our vendors and was a great communicator when issues arose. Highly recommend Issabelle and Urban Allure for your wedding!

Sanity saver!

I worked with Gina for almost a year leading up to the wedding (partial planning package) and, on the big day, she made our vision come to life and took all of the stress off of me (and my mom and bridesmaids). If you are on the fence about getting a planner, do it... and hire Urban Allure. Thank you Gina!!

Absolutely Amazing

Jennifer was absolutely amazing! Not only did she make sure the day of the wedding went smoothly, but during the months before she would check up on me regularly to make sure I was doing okay and wasn’t stressed. Whenever I needed to talk or vent, she was available, and I am so appreciative of that. The google sheet she created really helped us stay on track and organized. All my vendors were super impressed by her and loved how involved she was with them. She attended multiple zoom vendor meetings, a venue walk-through, and our wedding rehearsal... I honestly don’t know how I would have done all this without her. She made me feel so at ease the day of. When an issue arose at the wedding, Jennifer completely took care of the situation and made sure I didn’t have to worry. She recommended me hands down the BEST drag performers which completely made the whole night, everyone was blown away! Jennifer and her assistant Kyleigh made sure my day was everything I imagined. I definitely recommend UAE, specifically Jennifer, to any bride who wants a stress-free wedding, you will not be disappointed, these girls truly care, and I will forever be grateful.

If you're on the fence - DO IT

As a partner vendor with Room 1520, I had the pleasure of working with Kyleigh as my day of coordinator. What no one told me about a day of coordinator is that they actually begin working with you about a month in advance of your wedding! Kyleigh took over as the main contact for all my vendors in advance and had a few sessions with me to let me know what to expect day of. She was AMAZING to work with and handled every detail with grace and a smile on her face. We had about an hour delay due to my transportation company not picking up guests as scheduled and Kyleigh went above and beyond to resolve the situation day of as well as calling them and myself the Monday after to ensure a resolution was executed. Even though we had that delay, Kyleigh worked with the vendor team to shorten up some things so that we could get the guests to eating and drinking as soon as possible. If you’re on the fence about getting a coordinator - IT’S WORTH IT - and Urban Allure is the best in the biz.

Newberry Library/Washington Square Park Wedding

Kelley, with Urban Allure Events, was the perfect person to coordinate our wedding. She is incredibly organized, and her goal is to make sure the couple has the best day possible. She did so many things to help the event run smoothly such as running to Walgreens to get Benadryl for a guest with an allergic reaction, ensuring all of our luggage was brought to the hotel and running a smooth operation. Her coordination on the day of the event was critical to everything running perfectly. Kelley helped take so much stress off of me and truly helped me to enjoy our wedding day to its fullest.

Our wedding wouldn't have been the same without Nicole.

Nicole is the best in the business. Even if I hadn’t been a pandemic bride, I would have been so lost without her. She was there for every phone call, every meeting, and every major planning decision so that our wedding didn’t even have a minor hiccup. Mind you my Husband and I are in Pittsburgh, Nicole is in Chicago, and our Venue was in Destin, FL. Being in different time zones was never a problem she was always so on top of everything. Nicole helped us to replan and reschedule everything when the pandemic hit. She was a shoulder to cry on as well and was so supportive through the entire thing. On top of rescheduling a year of weddings she was also taking on new ones for the following years and not once did she miss a detail; and I’m talking about small details like placing origami boats at the tables before the reception. From the exact position of the aisle and alter I wanted… to receiving and coordinating every delivery the day of the wedding I did not lift a finger. She took thorough notes for two years and even reminded me multiple times of things I missed or things I had mentioned in the past that I had forgotten. She is truly the best. My husband and I will never be getting married again, but I wish we were just so Nicole could help us plan! Her organizational skills and experience are second to none and she was prepared for anything that were to happen the day of our Wedding. We did almost all of our photos before the ceremony and were on a strict timeline all day. She was on top of every second making sure no one got lost and even escorted the groom to the first look to ensure he didn’t see me!! We would not have been even close to on time if it weren’t for Nicole. We even did an event after rehearsal dinner that she helped us coordinate the entire event and all the transportation for and ensured all our guests made it to the beach and back safely. We absolutely adore Nicole and if you’re on the fence about getting a wedding planner. YOU WON’T REGRET IT.

Nicole is the absolute best!!

Nicole was AMAZING and we truly would not have been able to do it without her. She was with us through every step of the planning process from the initial stages while we were decided where to hold our wedding, through the difficult decision to postpone and re-plan a small wedding for close family and friends due to Covid. She always provided invaluable expert advice and thoughtful guidance when rescheduling with our vendors and selecting the right ones for us. She made the day of our wedding as seamless and smooth as possible and anticipated every possible need that might come up. She went above and beyond through the entire process. We would highly recommend Nicole and her team to anyone planning a wedding or event. She made the entire process and day an absolute joy. We would absolutely work with her again and would be happy to speak with someone about our experience
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

The Urban Allure team is so easy to work with. Nicole has amazing connections, creativity, is extremely organized and takes the stress right off your shoulders. I highly recommend Urban Allure Events to help build your dream wedding and make run perfectly!

I finally had the opportunity to work with Nicole on a wedding last fall and I was beyond impressed with how her day came together. I've worked with many planners in the Chicago area and Nicole has a relaxed, calm atmosphere that surround her that makes her clients feel taken care of, and makes the day run smoother than you could ever imagine. She also took into account the notes I gave her on how much time was needed to create the portraits my clients wanted and managed to create two vendor meals out of thin air from the caterer when there was a mixup so we didn't go hungry on the day. Trust me... you don't want your photographer to be hungry! haha. Overall... they're incredibly poised, together, organized, and have a great eye for style. You can't go wrong hiring Urban Allure Events for your wedding day.
