Erin P. Sent on 10/29/2023Absolutely incredible experience with Mary!
My husband, Dan, and I worked with Mary Klein for our big day, and we truly don’t have the right words to describe how amazing she is. We could not have done it without her. From the very beginning, she was so thoughtful, helpful, and extremely organized. We felt at ease after the first call we had with her!
The weeks leading up to the event, she was on top of everything - getting in contact with our vendors, giving us recommendations for things we never even considered, checking in on how we were feeling. But then the day of, she went above and beyond. I felt like dan and I didn’t need to worry about a thing!!! She Was in the room with the girls to ensure we had everything we needed, she helped with a dress malfunction on my wedding dress, she walked one of the ring bearers down the aisle because he was crying, the list goes on!! I can’t write in words how valuable Mary was to the day.
Not only did she cross everything off the box (and then some), but Mary is so genuine and kind. She never made us feel like we were asking too much or asking silly questions. She made us feel like humans and wanted us to be happy and comfortable on our most important day. Anyone is lucky to work with Mary, and I am so blessed that we had the privilege to meet her. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts! -

Roxanna P. Sent on 07/17/2023Our wedding was perfect working with Melissa at Clementine
We absolutely loved working with Melissa and felt taken care of in every step of the process. We did the partial planning with her; my (now) husband and I truly had no idea what we were doing, and she helped formulate our perfect day from finding the right venues, vendors, and guiding us on the decisions. We were also planning this wedding remotely from San Francisco, which was difficult, but made so much easier with her. During the month of, she was invaluable, coordinating every vendor and handling all the small details. If Melissa is planning your wedding, you’ll be in great hands! -

Kaleb B. Sent on 07/29/2023Best Wedding Planner Ever!
Melissa from Clementine made our dream wedding a reality! We worked with Melissa for over a year and loved every minute of it! Melissa helped us design and create a wedding that was greater than anything we could have imagined. Melissa made the planning process so easy and fun! Melissa knows all the best vendors in Chicago, knows all the details needed to host an amazing wedding, and is without a doubt the best wedding planner out there! We are so grateful to Melissa and everything she did for us; we couldn’t have done it without her! Melissa is incredibly nice, kind, sweet, knowledgeable, professional, and was always there for us when we had a question, changed our minds on something, or had a mini freak-out. She was always available for an in-person meeting, call, or email. Melissa helped us have our dream wedding, one of the best days of our lives that we will remember forever, and we are forever grateful to her! We could not recommend Clementine and specifically Melissa more! -

Alyssa K. Sent on 07/31/2023I'd hire Mary and the Clementine team again in a heartbeat.
Working with Mary was a dream. Not being from Chicago, I knew I would need a wedding planner. After speaking with 5 other vendors, I'm so glad we went with Mary and the Clementine team. I'd hire her again in a heartbeat.
She is impeccably organized, easy to communicate with, and has brilliant ideas to help bring your vision to life. Not to mention, the vendors she connected us with were our perfect partners.
On the day of, she ensured everything went smoothly--it felt effortless. I could be totally present throughout the whole day because Mary kept everything (and everyone) on schedule and had an amazing attitude while doing so. I couldn't have asked for more. If you are in search of a planner to come alongside you to bring your vision to life, who can suggest perfect-fit vendors, and who has a wealth of industry knowledge to offer plenty of creative ideas, hire Mary. -

Hiring Brianna with Clementine Events was the best decision I made for my wedding. I planned my wedding in 6 months and at the 5 month mark, I was struggling to figure out my timeline and logistics. I immediately began interviewing wedding coordinators. After all the planning I had done, I wanted to be able to show up and enjoy my hard work rather than stress the logistics and set up… That's where Brianna came in. From first meeting, Brianna was organized, informative, and creative with her suggestions. I was sold! After hiring her, she immediately began reviewing my contracts and plans so she could know my vision. Brianna handled vendor communications and developed an amazing timeline which I could share with my entire family and wedding party. If I had concerns, she was there to handle them. She even helped me navigate change of ceremony, cocktail hour and reception locations two weeks out (Yes, all three locations changed! :D). She was AMAZING and so supportive. She asked questions to my vendors I hadn’t thought of, provided ideas for decor, and gave an honest opinion where I needed it most. I could not imagine my wedding day without her. I truly got to experience the celebration as if I were a guest. I showed up, had fun, and trusted that the details would fall into place with her coordination. Thank you Brianna!!!!! I am SO grateful. -

Jaci W. was our wedding planner for our Sept 2022 wedding at the Chicago Athletic Association. We chose her in part because of her experience with the venue, who was extremely difficult to work with. She took away all of the stress of dealing with them and the back and forth. She provided solutions for us and fought for what we wanted. She kept our wedding on budget and let us know when things were not worth the money. Her knowledge of the industry was a strength of hers as she had vendors and suggestions for everything. This was particularly helpful when photography and hair/makeup became difficult to book with our popular wedding date. Where Jaci really shinned was her day of coordination and managing her assistant. I did not know of one issue on the day of my wedding, which I know is because of her. Everything was impeccable. She understood our vision and brought it to life. Her passion for weddings and perfection gave us our dream wedding. -

Chelsea F. Sent on 10/28/2022Incredible Wedding Planning Services!
Jaci from Clementine Events was a dream to work with! We decided to go with the Month-Of Planning Option, and Jaci actually reached out 1.5 months in advance to set up time for us to chat and to make sure we were on the same page. She was extremely thorough, and I felt she was able to pick up my vision almost immediately, which isn't so easy as I had planned everything up until that point! She answered every single one of my random thoughts and questions, calming all my concerns (Brides - you know those little nagging questions you have - she will answer them all and more!). She is very clearly extremely experienced, and I was relieved that she already knew and had relationships with almost all of my vendors. Jaci was professional and yet so friendly - I felt like she was a second Maid of Honor actually - she was prepared with everything. On the day of, she was the one to actually bustle my dress! She truly thought of everything, and as a result my day ran 100% smoothly!
I would highly recommend Jaci and Clementine Events to anyone getting married. You are in good hands for your special day! -

Hire Jaci Immediately
If you are even thinking of getting a wedding planner/coordinator I could not recommend Jaci enough. Jaci has been in the business for nine years and clearly knows what she’s doing. Not only have I worked at her side for many years but now I have also been one of her brides. I have watched her make so many brides happy on their wedding day but having her on my wedding day made the day so much smoother, easier and now I have experienced what so many other brides have gone through with Jaci. I had no worries on my wedding day because I knew she had everything covered. Even my husband at the end of the night said I now understand why we paid the money to hire Jaci. Jaci is professional, organized, and the most caring person you’ll ever meet. I promise that she will make your wedding the most perfect day ever.
On another note, her assistant Brittany was AMAZING for working with our group of men on the wedding day and assisting Jaci wherever she needed it!!! -

Jessica A. Sent on 06/10/20225 Star Review for Clementine Events
Jaci Weber was our wedding planner and she went above and beyond to make my wedding dreams come true. As a bride who paid very close to details and had a very clear vision of what I wanted on my wedding day, Jaci made it ALL come to life. She nailed every single detail. When I walked into my reception for the first time, I was at a lose of words for how happy I was. Jaci was one of the first people to come up to me and give me a hug and tell me congrats. She has a very big heart, genuine nature and loves her job. She was super responsive to emails and made sure I felt supported during the planning process. I had a sailcloth tent wedding, which requires multiple vendors, logistics and details. Jaci coordinated all of my details with all my vendors and made sure nothing was left out. She has so much experience in the wedding industry and she provided me game changing tips that truly made the day so magical.
The day of the wedding was executed so well! I was able to enjoy the moment and truly just have fun. I am so grateful to her and Clementine Custom Events. My wedding was truly the best day of my life.

Madilyn J. Sent on 12/18/2021Dana was a life saver
I was so happy to see Dana Konya of The Clementine's email come in October about going over our December wedding. Obviously planning a wedding and adding a pandemic to the mix was nothing short or stressful, but hiring Dana was the best decision I've made.
Throughout the process, Dana was very professional, sweet, responsive and interactive. I would discuss changes or updates with the timeline and within that day, the changes were made on my timeline. I know I wasn't the only client of hers, but she still made time for me during such a busy 2021 wedding season.
Dana offered great referrals for hair and makeup and took care of creating a schedule for my bridal party. She also took care of a transportation crisis 2 days prior to the big day. Lastly, she was sewing dresses, tapping Flower Girl dresses minutes before my ceremony - she is truly prepared for anything that could happen and it was such a relief to have her there on my big day. I would highly recommend Dana and her services.

Clementine - hands down best wedding planners in Chicago!
My wedding, at The Langham went off without a single flaw because of Clementine and namely Melissa Samek. Melissa’s attention to detail, knowledge base, recommendations, and full orchestration of the day was incredible. She had every answer I needed every step of the way, and made the day of easy and flawless. Not only is she an expert at her job, she is a joy to work with and someone I would consider a friend after the year(+) of planning. It is important to choose a wedding planner that you can trust and makes you feel comfortable and calm on your big day. Melissa was nothing short of this. Truly amazing! Highly recommend for high end events and large scale weddings! -
