Above & Beyond is all we experienced

We hired Wedding day Chicago (Kari) to be our officiant & day of coordinator for our wedding - We couldn't recommend her enough to anyone who is getting married!!

Officiant Service:
Kari took the time to get to know us & ensure that we felt comfortable with every part of the ceremony. Outside of scheduled sessions, she continued to learn about our relationship through very thoughtful survey questions and follow-up questions about our relationship. She took all of our asks and incorporated the most special parts of our relationship into our big day. We receive multiple compliments about she wove our personal stories into the special bond of marriage. It was an emotional day, but she made it unforgettable!

Day-Of-Coordinator Service:
KARI SAVED THE DAY! We decided to hire Kari for day of coordinating a month and a half before our wedding - It's easy to say that we would have been lost without her direction. She effortlessly worked with all of our vendors, constantly checked in for schedule updates, and most importantly, made the day stress free. Her assistant was also the sweetest to work with & they went above and beyond to make our wedding day as perfect as it was.

Outside of her professionalism, she is an absolute gem of a human being to work with! We couldn't' be more grateful for her dedication throughout the whole process.

Exceptional wedding coordinator and truly a pleasure to work with

We are so grateful to have had Kari as our Day Of Coordinator. I knew from the start that Kari was going to be excellent. But I realized Kari was exceptional when the vendors and my family were commenting on how great working with Kari was.

I chose Kari because just from speaking with Kari it was clear that she understood my vision and was very quick and agile in helping me figure out how to achieve my vision. When speaking with vendors, I was disappointed how a lot of coordinators were trying to enforce their generic Chicago cookie-cutter wedding timeline on us.

What makes Kari exceptional is that she is great at understanding her client's vision, even if it is something foreign or new to her, which was the case in our situation. We wanted to incorporate both an Eastern and Western ceremony in a very short timeline. She is great at running with her client's vision and figuring out how to make it work.

In addition to her usual roles like coordinating with all vendors, she goes above and beyond while not being over bearing with communication when we were already so overwhelmed with wedding planning.

Choosing Kari as our wedding coordinator is THE BEST decision I made for our wedding.

Turning Our Wedding Dreams into Perfect Reality

My fiancé and I hired Wedding Day Chicago for our wedding DOC this past June. Kari truly ensured that our wedding day was as flawless as we dreamed it would be. Her expertise shone through from the very beginning, as she guided us seamlessly through pre-wedding preparations, recommended fantastic vendors, and meticulously constructed a flawless timeline.

Kari's dedication to bringing our vision to life was evident in every aspect of the day. She orchestrated each moment flawlessly, handling any possible challenges sparing us unnecessary stress (seriously, if ANYTHING went wrong, we had no idea). Her collaboration and communication with our vendors created a symphony of teamwork that elevated our entire celebration.

Kari ensured that every tiny detail was accounted for, leaving no room for uncertainty. When I expressed my nervousness about certain aspects, Kari went the extra mile to keep me in the loop and paid special attention to those concerns. This level of care made us feel heard and reassured throughout the process. Kari's careful planning dedication to perfection allowed us to bask in the joy of the day, knowing that every detail was being expertly handled.

Kari's management skills, genuine care, and constant communication made our wedding day a dream come true. For a coordinator who transforms your vision into reality and provides unwavering support, Kari is the perfect choice. Our heartfelt thanks to her for making our day more magical than we ever imagined.
