    The Best Decision We Made for Our Wedding!

    Paige was absolutely amazing to work with. My partner, and I both agree that hiring her was the best decision we made! She turned a stressful process into something actually enjoyable, quickly becoming a calming force, whenever we felt overwhelmed. Paige is extremely personable and organized; by the time our wedding arrived, she truly felt like a close friend who was invested in our happiness as we were.

    She kept us updated weekly on our to-do list and handled every behind-the-scenes detail flawlessly – from final catering, logistics, the perfect execution of our wedding. On the big day, everything was seamless because he was there from start to finish. We are so grateful we had her in our corner and cannot recommend her highly enough!

    Nick and Hannah Wedding 6/14/25

    My wife and I got married in June of this year and worked with Paige and Lisa to plan our wedding. We were only engaged for about 6 months and had a pretty big wedding and working with Paige and Lisa made the process go wonderfully - we couldn’t have imagined planning our wedding without them. We’re so grateful for their help and would recommend them to anyone planning a wedding. Our wedding day was amazing and we’ll always be thankful for the role Paige and Lisa played!

    Best planner EVER!!!!

    I truly cannot say enough amazing things about Lisa. From the very beginning, she made what I thought would be a stressful process feel so easy & enjoyable. As someone who is extremely type B, I was constantly blown away by her organization, attention to detail, & flawless execution.

    Lisa struck the perfect balance throughout the planning process. She kept me on track with deadlines (which I desperately needed) without ever making me feel stressed. She listened carefully to what we envisioned for our wedding & made sure every detail reflected us, while also offering her expert perspective when it was helpful. Her ability to combine our ideas with her experience created something beyond anything we could have imagined.

    Both the night before & our entire wedding day itself were absolutely perfect. Everything ran smoothly & completely exceeded every one of our expectations. I honestly cannot emphasize enough that none of it would have been possible without Lisa. She is calm, confident, & truly exceptional at what she does. I would trust that woman with my LIFE !!!

    I would recommend Lisa a million times over to anyone planning a wedding or event. We are SO so grateful for her & everything she did to make our wedding the most spectacular day of our lives!!!!!

    Elegante is the very best!!!

    We were married in Boca Grande, Florida in October 2025, and Elegante Weddings and Events made our entire wedding weekend nothing short of perfection. Lisa and her team are, without question, the most organized and detail-oriented professionals we have ever worked with. Every single element was flawlessly planned and executed, allowing us to truly relax and enjoy every moment. Their level of care, precision, and expertise is unmatched. We could not recommend Elegante Weddings and Events more enthusiastically — they are simply the very best!

    Elegante Weddings is THE BEST!

    We would give more than 5 stars to Lisa and her fabulous team at Elegante Weddings and Events if we could! Lisa and her team are incredibly organized, extremely connected and knowledgeable, and so passionate about what they do. Lisa guided us every step of the way through a full year of planning leading up to and including the wedding weekend, which was a full 4 days of events at the American Club in Kohler, Wisconsin. Lisa also planned the honeymoon and did an amazing job! Lisa and her team exceeded our expectations in every way. They are so personal yet professional and calm in the height of wedding planning stress. Lisa thinks of every detail and communicates so well. Her eye for design is exceptional and her connections with vendors are incredible. Our wedding weekend was beyond beautiful and ran smoothly from start to finish. Lisa, Paige and Claire were with us the entire weekend to coordinate everything with the venue and help the bridal party with all of our needs. With the huge amount of time Lisa spent planning and overseeing our wedding, the value received for dollars spent was well worth it! We highly recommend Elegante Weddings and Events, 5 stars isn't enough!

    The best decision EVER!!!

    Working with Lisa and Elegante Weddings and Events was truly one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. From our very first call to the final dance, Lisa was the ultimate partner. She was calm, creative, organized, and endlessly patient. She took every half-formed idea, Pinterest screenshot, and scattered thought I had and somehow turned it into the most beautiful, cohesive, and meaningful celebration we could have imagined.

    Even a week later, our friends and family are still raving about how thoughtfully everything was planned and how seamless the entire weekend felt; from the flow of events to the tiniest personal details. Lisa’s attention to detail, deep understanding of the nuances of a fusion wedding, and her ability to make complex timelines feel effortless made the entire process genuinely enjoyable for us.

    Beyond the logistics, she was our sounding board, problem-solver, and steady presence through every step. She gave honest feedback, anticipated needs before we even voiced them, and connected us with incredible vendors like Smitten Boutique and Chris + Josh from Cavalier & Co every single one matched her level of excellence and professionalism.

    We’re also so grateful to Joni, Claire, and Adri for their support throughout the weekend. They were such a DREAM TEAM.

    Our wedding was everything we hoped for and more, and we truly have Lisa to thank for bringing our vision to life so flawlessly. If you’re lucky enough to have her as your planner, know that you’re in the best hands imaginable.

    Love - Sanica + Justin

    Highest recommendation for Elegante!

    Their process was pluperfect, engaging and brought a wonderful sense of ease to planning! Paige wove the wedding day together like a pro, making sure all went off without a hitch, calmly managing blips, and even somehow capturing her own beautiful clips. We really appreciated her pre event advice and day of expertise. Claire was a wonderfully fierce bridal attendant, ensuring every detail was handled with care and adding value at every turn. Elegante proved to be the confident rudder we needed on what can feel like a stormy day — and was 100% the best money we spent !

    Lisa is the best!!!

    When we decided to have a destination wedding in Umbria, we didn’t know where to begin. We are SO thankful that we found Lisa, without whom our wedding wouldn’t have been possible!

    Lisa is such a powerhouse and devotes a tremendous amount of time and energy to each and every one of her clients, which immediately put us at ease and made us feel so comfortable and confident every step of the way. She has a strong and trusting relationship with so many of the vendors she works with in Italy, which goes a long way toward ensuring you only work with the very best people and don’t have to worry about surprises. Her recommendations for everything – the venue, the music, the florist, the transportation companies – were so spot on.

    Lisa is incredible communicative, organized, and patient in the face of the innumerable questions and challenges that inevitably come up while planning a destination wedding. Even more surprising, Lisa made herself equally available to our guests and went above and beyond to provide advice on where/how to travel, ideas for follow-on trips after the wedding, and more. All of our guests universally gave us feedback that Lisa was incredibly helpful and did her best to make their entire experience unique and wonderful.

    We have already referred Lisa to a number of our friends who are getting married in the near future and are so thankful that she was able to bring our dream wedding to life!

    BEST wedding planner EVER

    Working with Lisa from Elegante Weddings and Events was an absolute game-changer for our wedding. From the very first meeting, Lisa made us feel like we were her top priority. She took the time to listen to our vision and offered thoughtful suggestions that helped shape our dream day.

    We genuinely can't reccomend this planner enough!

    Wedding in Switzerland

    Lisa was awesome as our wedding planner. She planned our dream wedding in Lugano, Switzerland. She was always a pleasure to deal with and kept it all running tight on the day. Thanks Lisa.

    We got married at the St Regis in Bal Harbour Lisa and her team did an amazing job with keeping everything in order and planning. She’s very patient and flexible, highly recommended especially for dealing with multi cultural weddings!

    A stress-free and BEAUTIFUL wedding day!

    I decided very early on that I would need help coordinating and planning all of the large and small details that go into creating a beautiful wedding. Hiring Lisa was one of the first and definitely one of the best decisions that we made. From the very first meeting when she outlined her planning process and carrying through to meetings with vendors and designing the look of the wedding, Lisa was absolutely invaluable. Her creative ideas and management of the details resulted in the most beautiful wedding we could have ever hoped for. It was magical. I am a very grateful mother of the bride and would HIGHLY recommend Lisa and Elegante Weddings and Events.

    Would choose Elegante Weddings a thousand times over

    We had a very particular vision / vibe we were going for for our disco jungle wedding in Tulum and Lisa at Elegante Weddings brought it all to life! Her initial disclaimer was that she would be loyal to our vision and no one else's which is especially difficult when parents, families and other opinions are involved but she was true to her word. Our wedding had a lot of moving parts and involved three days of events and Lisa faced every challenge head on–we are so grateful for her coordination, dedication and assistance during such a crazy and magical time!

    Experts in the industry!

    My husband and I got married at Holy Name Cathedral and The Drake in Chicago in October 2023, and Lisa was our full-time wedding coordinator. I could not have planned this wedding without her. Lisa has planned countless weddings in the past, and I fully trusted her planning timeline. We regularly met via zoom, and she sent weekly emails with a bride/groom "to-do" and "Lisa's to-do" lists. Lisa attended all of our meetings with our vendors. She has strong relationships with local vendors, and her vendor recommendations perfectly aligned with our wedding vision. She helped us bring our fairytale wedding vision to life!

    Thank you Lisa!!

    We are so thankful Lisa was our planner for our wedding in September! She was pretty much the first vendor we chose, and was crucial in the success of our wedding. She was a big help in narrowing down the potential pool of vendors, and she did a great job of assessing our needs and interests before providing vendor recommendations (who all did great jobs!), and she helped keep track of and coordinate the vendors as well. She created a timeline so we could see what tasks were upcoming, and her weekly task lists helped us focus our energy so that we didn’t get overwhelmed.

    Our wedding day came together in the best way, and we didn’t worry about a thing, as we knew Lisa would handle anything that came up (and she did). With Lisa’s help, what could have been a stressful process, really wasn’t. We cannot thank Lisa and her team enough for all they did to help us pull off the wedding of our dreams!

    Best Experience Ever

    My husband & I got married in downtown Chicago six months ago, and we cannot speak highly enough about Joni, our "day of" wedding planner. Joni's dedication and perfect temperament made our special day truly unforgettable.

    From the initial planning stages to the final moments of the reception, Joni exhibited a level of professionalism that exceeded our expectations. Her attention to detail ensured that every aspect of our wedding day ran smoothly. What sets Joni apart is her incredible personality, we've never met anyone so suited to deal with so many moving pieces and personalities.

    Joni's calm and warm demeanor immediately put us at ease, making the entire process enjoyable and stress-free. This is undeniably the most deserving 5-star review I've ever written. If you're in search of a wedding planner who not only excels at her craft but also brings a wonderful energy to your special day, Joni is the one for you.

    Thank you, Joni, for making our wedding day so magical!

    We had a perfect experience with this vendor!

    I'm the person that reads a million reviews, but never writes a single one. (oops!) But our experience with Elegante Weddings and Events was so perfect, I couldn't pass up the opportunity to sing their praises!

    We had the immense pleasure of working with Joni Taylor - wedding planner extraordinaire! We can't even begin to say enough great things about our experience with Joni! She's so organized and on-top-of-it; everything she said she'd do or take care of, she did. She communicated with our other vendors to organize the days. She was constantly checking in with me to see how I was doing and if there was anything she could help with. She had so many new, great ideas for our big day! And she helped us realize and relay our vision to the other vendors as well. Quite frankly put, she was our advocate. As a fairly passive individual, I was so worried about having to be assertive with vendors throughout the process. Joni was so invaluable in having our interests (and budget!) at heart, and she clearly has a great reputation amongst other vendors in the industry, which translated to a seamless planning process across the board. She literally knows everything about weddings! Every time I talked to her (aka she talked me off a ledge!), I felt so much more comfortable and relaxed about the planning. We quite literally couldn't have done it without her!!

    I would hire her a million times over! She's also the friendliest, funniest and most pleasant person ever. Icing on an already wonderful cake!

    Best Wedding Planner EVER

    I thought we could plan a wedding ourselves. Our venue provided us with a list of preferred vendors; it seemed straightforward, but we decided to find a planner to help us. After interviewing several planners, Lisa clearly understood the Chicago wedding industry and its unique vendors. When asked how she would approach having a drag queen at our wedding, Lisa lit up with ideas and strategies.

    We were so lucky that we decided to work with Lisa. Planning a wedding is complex; no one but your planner has your interests at heart. Lisa was a shrewd negotiator who was able to remove extraneous charges from our quotes with vendors that we did not need. She kept my fiancé and me on plan for the tasks only we could do. My wedding party referred to her as a general on our wedding day. We had protesters blocking Michigan Ave, lost parents, and ripped suits. We did not even learn of these issues until after the wedding. Lisa handled each issue without flinching.

    Our day was perfect, so much of it is because of Lisa.

    Also, nearly everyone who attended said it was the best wedding they had ever been to, and many were including their weddings in the list!

    Above and beyond and more

    I loved working with Lisa! We immediately hired her to plan our wedding in Lake Como, and did not interview anyone else, we knew she was the right fit. Planning a wedding can be stressful, especially an overseas wedding in a different country, however Lisa made the process so smooth. Her communication was excellent, she was available to me at any time of the day and I particularly loved that I was able to simply text her, she became like a friend throughout the course of planning my wedding. I also loved that Elegante was able to book travel and transportation for all of my guests and help us with other travel that did not pertain to our wedding. Working with Lisa and the Elegante team was my favorite part of planning. Everything ran so smooth for all of the events. My wedding was something out of a fairytale and it was all because of Elegante!

    Lisa was our SAVIOR. Best decision we made!

    Lisa was quite literally our SAVIOR through the entire wedding planning process and we could not recommend her highly enough. She was with us from before we were even engaged and kept us and our families calm and organized through a very chaotic planning process! She listened to our vision and budget and presented us with venues and vendors that fit within those. She didn’t blink when, after looking at multiple venues in Chicago, we decided to move the entire 3 day wedding down to Birmingham, AL, a city she had not planned a wedding in before. She immediately found multiple venues and local vendors for us (a feat for an Indian wedding in AL!) and flew down to Birmingham twice to visit venues and do a walkthrough. She has a network everywhere, it seems! Lisa is unbelievably organized, thinks outside the box, and is responsive at all hours of the day. She was with us for our 3 day wedding and kept everything running smoothly, making sure anything that went wrong was unnoticed by us and by our guests. She even planned a party in Chicago for us the weekend afterwards, at no extra cost. From making our wedding website, to mailing and tracking our RSVPs, to steaming every outfit possible, she does it all.

    The best part of Lisa, though, is that she is calm in a storm, and incredibly empathetic. She effortlessly navigated family dynamics that come from planning 2 multi-cultural weddings, was a listening ear when things got stressful, and always always had a plan. She was in constant contact with our parents to help take stress off of us, even when we didn’t know it. She didn’t hesitate to have real talk conversations with us to make sure we were prioritizing the right things and not expending energy that wasn’t worthwhile, truly saving me from myself. She made me feel at ease leading up to and on the day of the wedding that us and our families would be taken care of and she allowed us to actually enjoy our weekend - no small feat.

    If you want a planner that will be with you day in and day out, will handle tough conversations with you, your family, and vendors, will remain calm and organized throughout, will come up with a gorgeous design vision, and will become your trusted friend, go with Lisa and Elegante! I can and have recommended her to everyone we know getting married - she’s truly the best in the biz.

    Amazing Experience 12/10

    Working with the Elegante team was smooth, easy communication, and a clear outlined process. We felt very comfortable because of the organization provided and didn't stress at all throughout wedding planning. Our wedding probably had 50 vendors and it was executed flawlessly. The staff is readily available. We received email responses nearly immediately. If you want an enjoying wedding planning experience this is your company! :D

    Just the relief we needed

    We had Joni Taylor as our coordinator. She helped us get all the final details together. She was an excellent bridge between all of the vendors and made sure we had everything covered for the day of.

    On the day we didn’t need to worry about anything and we’re able to relax and let her handle all the small stuff.

    Our wedding was a Hindu ceremony with a western reception. It was a long day, but she was with us the entire way, working with our families when things came up and making sure everything went smoothly.

    The Elegante Team Made All the Difference

    Hiring Lisa was the best decision we could have ever made for our wedding! We started working with Lisa about 14 months out from our event date. After only one 30mins Zoom meeting with her, my partner and I looked at each other and said, she is the one!

    Over the next 14 months, Lisa became one of the most important people in our lives, and what a fun time that was. Lisa is truly a professional with a strong network behind her. It’s hard to imagine how we would have navigated all the decision-making, sourcing, and unforeseen challenges without Lisa and her team’s guidance.

    Throughout our touch-points, with Lisa, we were impressed with how she seamlessly absorbed our tastes and preferences into a comprehensive vision, which gave us the bandwidth to get excited for our wedding vs overwhelmed. One thing we liked about Lisa's process was that for every vendor she recommended (from decor, photographer, bakeries, bands, stationers, etc), she gave 2-5 options per discipline and allowed us to find the best match that fit our vibe and budget. Lisa also facilitated additional support, as needed, for things we felt her team would be able to navigate better than us, which was super helpful!

    On the day of the wedding... It went better than we could have ever expected. Not only was everything beautiful but everything was taken care of down to the smallest of small detail. We are beyond thankful for everything Lisa did for us, making our wedding day PERFECT!

    Tuscan Wedding Review

    Lisa and her team were referred to me by a photographer friend, and I am so glad they were because they specialize in Italian weddings and speak Italian. I would never have been able to plan an Italian wedding, during covid, with a restricted budget, and a language barrier without Elegante. Lisa was able to make all of our dreams come true with our wedding. She found the perfect venue, a castle in the Tuscan countryside. We had the most perfect rehearsal at a local pizzeria, and a farewell dinner at a beautiful seaside resort, all in our rather small budget. Our wedding felt like a fairytale. I was obsessed with all of our vendors. The photographer, florist, caterer, hair/make up, and the staff at the venue were all the sweetest Italian people I have ever met. We did all of the planning virtually with Lisa (we live in another state) and did all of the the planning with the vendors virtually, across the world. The day of the wedding, I was so relaxed because I knew everything was taken care of. The venue was transformed into a dream. They took care of all of the legality with getting married in another country, and translated the official documents. We had a string duet, a floral arch, and an amazing apertivo. That smoothly transitioned into the cocktail hour, a rooftop dinner with a spectacular view, and dancing in the wine cellar with cocktails and late night drinks. We even had cold fireworks! With our budget! The details were perfect. Lisa also helped us plan out a perfect European vacation and honeymoon. Lisa worked with my family to ensure they were comfortable and involved, and our friends. She was organized and professional the throughout the entire process. The. work she did was priceless and our memories will last a lifetime. Lisa and Lucy are like family to us and always will be.

    Best decision we could have ever made

    Where to start - Lisa is the most efficient, effective, calm, intelligent, and creative planner we have ever heard of. We interviewed 8 planners including the top planning brands in Chicago before making our decision, and Lisa was by far the most impressive from that very first conversation. We worked with Lisa for two years and she made wedding planning so much more organized, informed, and enjoyable than we could have ever imagined. She was so responsive over text / email for any and all questions and had the best advice and an informed point of view when we needed one. She also helped us think through effective ways to get more bang for our buck, e.g. by reusing floral installations between ceremony and reception. She recommended all of our vendors, who not only provided excellent service but were kind and thoughtful professionals who had all worked together before. On the day of our wedding, Lisa went above and beyond to navigate some unforeseen challenges and had the most amazing assistant Lucy and attendant Antoinette helping out day of. Could go on and on - but we love Lisa so much and have already raved about her to all of our friends. Could never thank her enough.

    Attentive, Caring, and Thorough- Everything we wanted in a wedding planner

    Beyond grateful to have worked with Lisa Jaroscak and Elegante Weddings & Events, and would recommend her to anyone looking for wedding planning services. Having reviewed several different options, Lisa's attention to detail and caring nature stood out from Day 1 and continued through our wedding day and beyond. With a destination wedding in Malibu, CA, Lisa worked alongside us for over a year and methodically created a timeline for us to adhere to, making the process seamless and fun for us the whole time. 7 months out from the wedding we traveled to Malibu to finalize details - linens, venue walk-through, tastings and Lisa was alongside us for every step helping us envision our day. Lisa's persistent nature and calming demeanor proved immensely important when our initial wedding venue cancelled on us 1 month out from our wedding date due to a construction delay, finding us a new venue that was even better in just 2 days and subsequently spending hours transitioning all of our vendors over to the new location. We are beyond grateful that she kept us both sane during this time period! We knew we were in good hands. Our wedding day ended up perfect and better than we imagined. We are so appreciative of Lisa in making our vision come true.

    Trusted, Detailed, Thoughtful!

    Lisa was incredible! She thought of every detail, and I could count on her for making our vision a reality. She only recommended top vendors that we could trust, making our wedding day a breeze. She went above and beyond to create special moments for my husband and I. Importantly, she kept us on track in planning to make sure we never felt crunched. Highly recommend!

    Swan House Wedding

    Elegante Weddings and Events owner and lead planner Lisa Jaroscak was exactly what we were looking for when we were starting to plan our third postponed wedding that moved from Chicago to Atlanta. From every vendor she recommended to every small detail, everything was top notch quality. She was super patient with all of our questions during the planning process and the days just prior leading up to our wedding. We honestly couldn't have asked for a better team of planners to make our dream come true. Lisa and her assistant Joni were and are so sweet, down to earth and personable. Not to mention gaining a friend through it all was the icing on the cake. We would highly recommend Elegante Weddings and Events for your special day.

    The BEST videographer in Chicago

    We were on a tight timeline, but I loved Oscar's aesthetic and videography and was so grateful that he was available for our wedding on 8/15/21. He is so friendly and easy to work with, but he is also the consummate professional. He was always available and easy to get a hold of for any questions or concerns I had leading up to the big day.

    On the day of our wedding, he and his partner showed up on time; Oscar was assigned to my bridal suite and his partner was assigned to my now husband's suite. They requested a list of all of my "must have" shots and got them all! They also were able to capture so many other special moments that I hadn't even requested, but am so glad to have now. I am so happy to have requested the additional "documentary" add-on, as our entire wedding day went by so quickly that I'm so happy to be able to relive all of these amazing memories. The end product (the videos) are works of art in themselves. The editing is perfect and Oscar is happy to accommodate your suggestions or any changes you would like to make. It was such a pleasure working with Oscar, and I can 100% without a doubt recommend Oscar and the Elegante Media team for your wedding or any event that you may have.

    Stress Free Wedding Planning

    Lisa with Storybook exceeded all of my expectations planning our wedding! I look back over the course of the year it took to plan and NEVER could have done it without her. She is an absolute professional and never missed any detail. She is extremely organized and sent me weekly checklists to keep our planning on track. I never had any doubt, as I knew “Lisa was taking care of it”. She introduced me to our rockstar vendors and truly made my wedding vision come to life.
    I would say I was more of a “relaxed” bride with decisions. I had an idea of what I wanted our wedding day to look like and somehow Lisa knew what my vision was from my vague descriptions and literally made it come to life. We shared many emails and vendor meetings together as Lisa was my right-hand (wo)man since my husband wasn’t ever able to make any of the meetings. I trusted her guidance and expertise completely. I genuinely loved her company and loved to have gained a friend out of this kind of experience.
    I whole-heartedly recommend Lisa, a thousand times over, to anyone looking for a wedding planner!! She made everything so seamless and was so so worth it as part of our wedding budget. I can’t tell you how many comments I got from people throughout our planning process how relaxed and stress-free I was, and I told them it was all due to our wedding planner. My parents told me so many times, “Thank God for Lisa”. She is absolutely the best of the best and I truly was sad when our wedding day was over as I enjoyed our weekly communication. Lisa is your go-to girl for all things wedding!!!

    Caterer who loves working with Elegante Weddings and Events!

    I work for J&L Catering and have worked with Lisa on events for over 4 years now. I could go into great detail on her level of organization and attentiveness, but what really makes Lisa stand out from other planners is the fact that she loves her job and loves love. No idea is too out there or too simple - she curates a special planning experience that starts from the moment you contact her through the moment you get your pictures back from the photographer after your big day!

    As a vendor - she has always made me feel supported and is just such a joy to work with. You really can't go wrong with Elegante Weddings and Events!

    Lisa is the absolute best- do yourself a favor and hire her now!

    We hired Lisa as our “day of coordinator” and let me tell you, we felt like we got our money’s worth and so much more- she went above and beyond for us and we feel like we got the full deal of an experienced planner. We had a short 4 month engagement and we weren’t stressed about it thanks to Lisa, we could not have done it without her. We were warned by everyone how stressful a short engagement would be- but with her help, it went smoothly and without added stress, it was perfect. By the end of the process, I considered Lisa a friend and was sad to know our planning meeting ups and weekly communications were coming to an end! The big day went absolutely flawlessly and the only thing I’d even consider changing if I were to do it again, is that I would think about going with a larger planning package and letting Lisa just run with it because I loved how organized, connected, dedicated, and personalized her services were. I honestly could have sat back and let her do the whole thing and it would have turned out just as amazing, I would have trusted her with my wedding entirely! Lisa always had amazing suggestions for other vendors, everyone knew her and trusted her within the industry, and she always had the answer when we were stuck or couldn’t decide ourselves. I couldn’t recommend Lisa more, thank you so much for everything you did, our wedding day wouldn’t have been the same without you!!

    Beyond amazing!

    If you are getting married in the Chicagoland area do yourself a favor and work with this team! From our first meeting, we knew we were in amazing hands for our big day. Joni was our day of coordinator and she made everything so seamless! She made sure to ask us all of our must haves (and must nots!), attend our walkthroughs, and ask questions to our vendors that we would have never thought to ask. The whole team was attentive and always responded to our questions quickly, no matter how big or small. Our wedding ran so smoothly and we didn’t have to worry about anything on our big day. Joni was so great that we have kept in touch after our wedding and will be lifelong friends! I can’t say enough positive things about her and would highly recommend this team to anyone planning their big day!

    Professional, Reliable, and Amazing Service!

    Joni made my Nebraska wedding perfect. From the start of planning til the wedding day everything was handled and provided me with zero stress. She helped me find the perfect venue for my outdoor wedding in the summer that gave me options in case we ran into inclement weather. She saw my vision of a sunset wedding and matched my husband and I’s style. We were incredibly impressed with her knowledge of vendors and helped us stay with our vision and our budget. The day of the wedding she made everything run smoothly and was my advocate when my DJ started going rogue at the beginning of the ceremony. She was proactive to every situation and let us completely enjoy our day. I was so overwhelmed trying to plan on my own and was so happy to hand all my worries over to someone else and she did amazing. Highly recommend!

    Brought my dream wedding to life!

    If you are engaged and planning a wedding, Do yourself the biggest favor and book Lisa before you do anything else!!! It was the best decision my husband and and I made when we began to plan our wedding! We are still talking about how finding Lisa was the biggest blessing! My husband and I got married on November 2, 2019 in Chicago and Lisa made our fairytale wedding dreams come to life. Every moment was so beautifully orchestrated so that my husband and I were able to be guests at our wedding and be completely immersed and present our whole day. I knew as soon as I met with Lisa that I wanted to book her and work with her! I felt at ease and comfortable right away. She was able to capture my vision flawlessly. I would look to her for all her suggestions and input! Lisa was with us every single step of the way. I was able to enjoy the planning process without the stress. She organized every single detail that goes into the wedding. She organized meeting with vendors that met our needs and aesthetic. she attended all of our meetings and helped ensure we asked the right questions, she helped negotiate contracts and, kept us in track with our weekly to-dos. Lisa was also in touch regularly along our planning journey and no question was too big or too small for her. She made us feel as though we were her only couple. I am so overjoyed that our whole planning process was such a pleasure and enjoyable experience thanks to her. I was constantly being told what a relaxed bride I was, and it was true! Our wedding day came to life seamlessly, and we didn’t miss a single moment. We are still reliving our day and can’t say enough wonderful things to do Lisa and her talents Justice! She is the BEST OF THE BEST!!! My husband and I also feel like we gained a true friend in Lisa. We are so thankful from the bottom of our hearts for her.

    Absolutely wonderful!

    With so much going on in the world it was an absolute blessing to have Lisa planning our wedding. I thought I had everything under control but after talking with her I realized that I really did need a planner or else I would loose my mind. She made sure that all of the details for my small family wedding were exactly what I had imagined. From centerpieces and candles to food and photographer. I had to push up the date of my wedding by a year because my grandpa was getting older and even with only 6 months to plan, she made sure everything turned out beautiful. I am so grateful that we got to have our beautiful wedding with my grandpa and close family. Lisa made it so easy and so much more enjoyable for all of us!

    Lisa is the BEST

    As a DJ and the owner of MODE Events, I’ve worked with Lisa for many years now. She is one of the best we have worked with. The attention to detail in her planning and composure during execution are second to none. We have done many events with her and every one has been stress free from a vendor standpoint and all we have seen are happy clients. Just make sure and book with her early because her schedule fills up quickly!

    Calm, fun and professional with gorgeous design eye

    Always a joy partnering with Lisa on any wedding and event. No matter the style or budget, she consistently creates these gorgeous and fully-fleshed out visions for her clients, whether it be dark and moody to light and ethereal, and nails it with her ideas, details and appropriate vendor recommendations. So much fun executing events with Lisa's touch on them. We have some truly incredible weddings in our portfolio due to her direction.

    She's also experienced in a myriad of types of events (weddings, corporate, destination) and at certain times of the year, somehow juggles all of them with great success. And her experience shines - she's decisive, troubleshoot wells, and not afraid giving her opinion in groups of many opinions or in light of tight timelines.

    But above all that, she's simply one of those lovely people that is naturally calm, kind, and approachable in all situations. She navigates any rough patches at any event with leadership, supportiveness and evenness and we always feel assured that there will be smooth sailing with her behind the wheel.

    Joni is the BEST!!!

    We worked with Joni for almost two years as we postponed, rescheduled, replanned, postponed again, etc... throughout the pandemic. She could not have been more flexible, hardworking, or determined to do everything she could to give us the best possible wedding. We loved her so much that we hired her to do my sister's wedding as well, and she of course did an incredible job. Working with Joni is like having a best friend who happens to be willing to do every single thing you need. She makes everything fun and is also so organized and on top of it all!!

    Wedding of Our Dreams

    Lisa really knows her stuff! My wife and I were fairly confident in our own ability to create the wedding aesthetic of our dreams, however, we really didn’t know all that went in to each detail to execute the day. This is where Lisa shines! At every turn she has a trick or tip that elevates the experience and shows her incredible know-how with this business. She has a rapport with a plethora of vendors globally that further speaks to how wonderful she is to work with.

    Our whole planning process was organized from start to finish allowing the anticipated stress of this experience to slip right by us. All of our concerns regarding budget, ceremony set up, design, guest count, and unique touches were all in good hands with Lisa and she approached each decision with complete transparency and collaboration.

    Day of coordination left us with zero worries and a day that was perfectly choreographed. Lisa was invisible, yet everywhere at the same time. Our guests are still singing praises for how much fun they had and we are so proud of the event we were able to host for them.

    More importantly, throughout our work with Lisa, it was apparent that she genuinely cared for us and experienced our joy right along with us. We couldn’t have done it without her!

    Worth every penny and more!

    From start to finish, Lisa was the greatest investment we could have ever made for our wedding. I told her my vision for our day and she made every detail come to life. She sourced the best vendors in the game to help execute a flawless day. And when, 100 days out, COVID hit and seemed to unravel every plan, Lisa went above and beyond. With grace and creativity she came up with backup plans, advocated for us, and cried with us, and she carried burdens so we wouldn't have to. I am so grateful to Lisa and for the time and energy, she spent to make our dream wedding a reality. We truly could never have done it without her.

    Italian destination wedding!

    When my husband and I started to think about a destination wedding, Italy was the first place that came to mind. But we knew we couldn't do it on our own. The language barrier alone was going to make it difficult and when you google Italian destination weddings, you get back thousands of pages and every venue sounds better than the next. So we knew we would need help. A friend recommended Lisa because she was beginning to plan Italian weddings. We met with Lisa and discussed our vision and most importantly, our budget and she assured us that we could have the wedding of our dreams- and we did. It was even better than we could have ever expected. The planning process was seamless- we got weekly updates including what had been checked off and what was on Lisa's to do list and ours. Lisa was professional, thorough and detail oriented. Without her, we couldn't have pulled this off. From the vendors to the venue itself, she was the contact and it took all the pressure off of us. It helps that she speaks fluent Italian!

    While abroad, having Lisa there with us took all the pressure off and we were able to enjoy our time in southern Italy with 30 of our closest family and friends. The wedding was everything we had envisioned and more. I can't recommend Lisa enough!

    Best wedding planner in Chicago!


    If you are looking for a wedding planner, look no further! I cannot thank Lisa enough for our wedding of our dreams! Every single detail of our special day was just how we envisioned it, and even better! Lisa really made sure we were happy with every aspect of our wedding. Lisa knew my vision so well, that even when I was unsure, she would suggest something which was exactly what I was looking for. Every single step from start to finish, she was completely engaged with all the planning. She always kept us on track in a timely manner and made sure we did not feel overwhelmed. She took care of getting all our vendors, which is huge in wedding planning, and made sure they were a perfect fit for us, which they were and I couldn’t have asked for a better team! Every detail was planned so precisely that our actual wedding day turned out so perfect. My husband and I actually enjoyed our wedding and we did not have to worry about a single thing! Lisa really made our dream wedding come to life! Even during these difficult times, Lisa made sure we still felt relaxed and able to enjoy our planning process. Planning a wedding during covid, brought its challenges of its own and Lisa absolutely killed it! We are so happy we chose Lisa for our wedding planner! We will forever be grateful to her for making our wedding dreams come true!!

    5 Stars All Around

    🖤

    Where do I begin? I guess in short, if I hadn’t hired Lisa I simply wouldn’t have had a wedding! At the time of my engagement I was working 50+ hour weeks and clearly needed help. I hired Lisa for the full wedding planning. After a couple of in person meetings to really get a feel for the vibe I wanted, Lisa made it happen. She had a big challenge when it came to finding a venue since we originally were going to have a very large wedding (but she found the perfect venue on the date we wanted). Then when Covid hit!! When I tell you that I was losing my mind! And Lisa was just so calm, and reassuring, that one way or another we would get to keep our date. She brainstormed so many back up plans to accommodate for the different CDC restrictions. She helped us with the awkward task of having to disinvite 250 people! I genuinely felt like she was excited for my wedding, that she loved our choices. She didn’t make us feel bad when we changed our minds on things and for other things she kept us levelheaded. She helped us to stay on budget by setting realistic expectations, yet still found ways for us to get everything we wanted for our big day. She worked so well with all of our vendors and really made sure everything was coordinated on our day. It was nice to have someone there for all our vendor meetings that knew which questions to ask. Lisa was so knowledgeable, and helped save us hidden costs by asking the right questions. She kept taking us to see vendors until we found the perfect people for the job. On the day of she kept everything moving and made sure everything was on time. When my bustle ripped right before my father-daughter dance she was able to pin it into place and make it look like nothing happened. I’m not sure if there were any other mishaps but if there were, Lisa handled them all. She even submitted our wedding to a couple of magazines when it was over and we were featured in one! Lisa was a blessing and like I said, I couldn’t have done it without her!
