Sarah Sent on 12/05/2020Just hire Jennifer!
My husband and I booked Jennifer to coordinate our August 15th wedding in February of this year. We wanted to find someone who could help wrangle our large families but also someone we wanted to spend all day with at our wedding. Jennifer definitely fit the bill, immediately she was engaging, friendly and well organized.
When lockdowns started and it was clear we may not be having the wedding we planned, Jennifer immediately reached out to us. She talked us through our options and helped us decide to move our big 200 person party to a new date in 2021. Jennifer then coordinated with all of our vendors to move to the new party date.
We decided to have a micro wedding this year on our original date. Jennifer helped us figure out what we needed and set-up our day of timeline. On our wedding day she was there for us and our families the entire day. She made sure everyone (family and vendors) got where they needed to go. She foresaw and solved any issues that came up, whether it was locating a missing bouquet or discretely passing tissues up to my husband during the ceremony.
Jennifer is everything we could have asked for and more in a coordinator. We can’t wait to work with her again for our big party next year.

Event Shoppe - Magic!
Jennifer Price & Victoria Latimer are truly the fairy godmother team that made our wedding "the happily ever after" to our story. From the moment we began our planning journey, Jennifer understood the vision and brought it to life. She is truly magic!
Her planning process is very clear and helpful, and she communicates quickly and thoroughly so that I never felt behind. She brough such a professional and experienced perspective and I knew that her team was able to consider and plan for every possible scenario. She was well appreciated by all of our vendors and she coordinated everyone spectacularly.
Beyond just making the vision come to life, Jennifer and Victoria ensured that the vibe and the mood of the wedding party was calm and happy. When things went awry, my bridal party never knew and never felt it because Jennifer and Victoria were so on top of fixing any issues. They managed all of the various personalities spectacularly, and particularly protected my peace as a bride. They ran interference on my behalf so that I could be calm going into the ceremony.
Victoria made sure that we were able to enjoy the reception to its fullest and still exit gracefully. Not an item was missed when corralling everyone out the door, and we completely owe that to her!
I was truly sad when our wedding weekend was over because I enjoyed every second of it. It really was an event beyond anything I could've envisioned for myself, and I owe everything to Jennifer, Victoria, and the Event Shoppe Team. They are the best in Chicago! Thank you for everything. -

Adina Sent on 06/30/2024Perfectly Executed!
We recently had the absolute pleasure of working with Victoria, our wedding planner from Event Shoppe Chicago. We can't express enough how instrumental she was in making our special day perfect. From the initial consultation to the final moments of our wedding day every detail was meticulously planned and flawlessly executed, and our timeline was handled with remarkable precision. Victoria created a comprehensive schedule that considered every aspect of our wedding. Her attention to detail ensured that everything ran smoothly from early morning preparations until the conclusion of our reception. We never had to worry about a thing because Victoria was always one step ahead, ensuring that everyone and everything was in the right place at the right time. Vendor assistance was another area where Event Shoppe Chicago truly shined, they have an extensive network of trusted vendors and where able to recommend the perfect vendors for our style and vision. Throughout the wedding process Victoria coordinated meetings and managed contracts with such professionalism and efficiency that it took a huge weight off our shoulders. Victoria managed all vendor arrivals and set up seamlessly allowing us to relax and enjoy every moment without a single hitch. All we literally had to do was show up, come to think of it, that is all we had to do the entire process, show up, relay our ideas/vision and watch it materialize right in front of us. The wedding day was nothing short of magical, Victoria was with us from beginning to end overseeing every aspect of the event, her presence was both reassuring and unobtrusive allowing us to focus on celebrating with our loved ones. Our guest was impressed by how smoothly everything flowed, how beautiful the wedding was, and more importantly the role Victoria played. After the wedding, our loved ones kept asking about the sweet girl in black, she was everywhere and always where she needed to be at the right time. So graceful! Victoria exceeded all our expectations, her dedication, creativity and professionalism ensured that our wedding was everything we dreamed of and more. If you're looking for a wedding planner who will go above and beyond and make your wedding stress free and unforgettable look no further than Victoria at Event Shoppe Chicago. We are forever grateful for her exceptional service and wholeheartedly recommend her and Event Shoppe Chicago to any couple planning their big day. Victoria was absolutely fabulous, and our wedding day will always be remembered with her by our side. You go girl and Thank You! -

Emily Sent on 10/23/2023Thank you ESC!
Working with Kevlyn was a dream come true. We had partial planning with Event Shoppe Chicago and they made everything so easy - from our very first call with Jennifer (who we fell in love with) to walking out of the venue on our wedding night. I can't recommend ESC enough, I don't know how anyone would have their wedding without at least day of help from ESC. Kevlyn kept us on our timeline, fixed issues before I even knew they were happening, and kept our our vendors organized.
My wedding was the best day of my life - thank you Kevlyn and team I hope our paths cross in the future! -

Sean Sent on 06/02/2023Best Wedding Coordinators
My wife and I hired Event Shoppe Chicago to assist in coordinating our wedding and we were beyond impressed. Firstly they were incredibly responsive. When we needed information our wedding coordinator would email us back immediately. They assisted us with all big decisions and provided us with several options with vendors. We never felt pressured to pick a vendor they brought to our attention and genuinely felt they had our best interest every step of the way. We switched venues halfway through our wedding and Event Shoppe Chicago guided us through the entire process. Then day of there were 3 coordinators that made the entire process perfect. Many of our guest said our wedding was the best wedding they’ve ever been too. Somehow Event Shoppe was able to incorporate all of our needs perfectly and I couldn’t be more grateful. You would be crazy not to choose Event Shoppe Chicago. -

Katarina Sent on 09/19/2022Our best planning decision
Hiring Event Shoppe Chicago was one of the best choices we made while wedding planning - and that's saying a lot! We worked with Jennifer, who was incredible every step of the way. Ahead of the wedding, Jennifer made great vendor recommendations, helped us feel confident in our design direction, and kept my husband and I on-track with planning tasks. We had a major disruption midway through planning when our intended venue unexpectedly closed. Jennifer was a big help in finding a new reception venue with less than 3 months til our planned date. She is certainly the person you want on your side when a crisis hits! In the weeks leading up to our wedding, Jennifer was an absolute godsend. She was sending TONS of emails to coordinate vendors, creating detailed, bespoke timelines for vendors/family/my husband and I, and facilitating set up of gift bags and decor. There are so many small details that go into making a wedding great, and without Jennifer, I don't think we could have ever planned for all of them. I cannot recommend her and her team at Event Shoppe Chicago enough. -

Elizabeth Sent on 07/03/2022ESC helped make our wedding day perfect!
Hiring Event Shoppe Chicago was the absolutely best decision we could have made for our wedding, and we cannot recommend them enough! Planning a wedding in Chicago is... a lot!! Throw in all of the unknowns that come with planning a wedding during the pandemic, and you have a recipe for being incredibly overwhelmed. However, Jennifer and Margaret were incredibly kind, generous, communicative, organized, and helpful throughout the whole wedding planning process. They truly want you to have a wonderful wedding experience, and will go above and beyond to make sure you feel overwhelmed as little as possible.
We went with the Final Details package (which was ESC's day-of-coordination package), but Jennifer and Margaret helped with so much more than the final details. Early on in the planning process, Jennifer helped us think through exactly what we wanted for our wedding, set us up on the ESC planning portal with a variety of tools for the planning process, and then recommended a plethora of vendors that were in/near our budget (who were also great to work with). Once we did reach the final details phase (in the 6-8 weeks before the wedding), Margaret helped us through the barrage of decisions that we needed to make and helped us make sure everything was as organized as possible. And then she made sure everything was perfect on our big day! If anything did go wrong, we still have no idea (and are happier for it ;D). Thank you both for everything! -

Chelsea Sent on 04/28/2022Best Decision Ever
Jennifer and her team were the best decision we could have ever made for our wedding. Both my husband and I are very Type A, and we knew we would be very stressed out about making sure that all of our wedding details came together and everything ran smoothly and according to schedule. The minute we hired Event Shoppe Chicago for Day of Coordination, all of those worries started to disappear. On the day of the wedding, everything went exactly as it was scheduled to go. I never knew (or worried about) what time it was or if everything was coming together like it should because I knew and trusted that Jennifer and her team had everything under control. They worked wonderfully with all of our vendors—we truly had the best team ever—and if there were hiccups of any kind, we had no idea because everything was handled. The people of Event Shoppe Chicago are professional, detail-oriented and will absolutely ensure that your wedding runs as smoothly as possible. Maintain your sanity by handing them the reins for the day, and just sit back and enjoy the best day of your life! -

Nykia Sent on 02/18/2022Awesome experience, ESC is the team you need!
ESC was the perfect partner for our October 2021 wedding! We were engaged in 2019 and never saw COVID-19 coming, let alone all the uncertainties that came with planning a wedding in a global pandemic. Jennifer and her team were steady, understanding, and enthusiastic through it all including two date changes, a venue change, and our spontaneous decision to elope. Two years later, our celebration was still everything we dreamed about and more. Working with Margaret was our key to success. She was a rockstar - helping us develop a realistic timeline, conduct a smooth rehearsal, and get us (and our 11 bridesmaids/groomsmen) to the altar. She showed up for our morning wedding like sunshine with a plan and a sense of peace about her, and her enthusiasm and attentiveness continued through the day. Margaret and Pierre were not only intentional about checking in with me and my groom but centering our wants and needs and reminding us to soak in the excitement. I appreciated little reminders to look at my bouquet and enjoy a drink – to really savor everything we worked hard to bring to life. There were zero delays in our day-of schedule and I didn’t have to worry about a thing aside from enjoying the day. At one point, I had trouble seeing through my contact lenses. Pierre made it a point to leave the venue and find eye drops for me – and when that didn’t work, he went all the way back to the hotel to grab my glasses so that my loved ones didn’t have to miss out on the action. The way that this team went above and beyond at every stage of our partnership was unforgettable. I highly recommend ESC for your planning and day-of needs. -

The Best Decision
It was the BEST decision we made. I love love love a good to do list and we received such a detail list. That solidified our decision and I knew we were in good hands. Ashlee was on top of everything, and it made the weeks leading up to my wedding stress free. She stayed on top of the venue about scheduling our dinner tasting which was a hassle, created an amazing day of schedule and SO much more. She was so kind and organized. We had quite a few unexpected guests show up and she worked her magic to get everyone seated at dinner. I really could not have asked for anything more. We cannot thank Event Shoppe Chicago enough for helping us create our dream wedding! -

Julia Sent on 11/13/2021If you want a stress-free wedding, pick Event Shoppe Chicago as your wedding planner!
Getting married is a wonderful event, but it can be a stressful time. When my partner and I were starting the planning process for our wedding, we knew that as people with jobs and lives, we did not have the time to stay on top of every detail. This is why we hired Event Shoppe Chicago. Jennifer Price and her team provided a timeline, gave us vendor contacts, advised us, and generally kept us sane. On the day of the wedding, they were truly a miracle. As a worrier, I tried to worry about every last detail, but Jennifer had preemptively anticipated details and issues and took care of them before I even had an opportunity to worry. Everything was taken care of, from where our transportation would be picking us up, to taking care of guests with special needs, to gathering up our gifts and decorations at the end of the night. We were able to simply enjoy our wedding and cannot be more grateful for the Event Shoppe Chicago team. If you’re on the fence about getting a planner, definitely check out Jennifer Price and her team - they’re the absolute best! -

Jomarie Sent on 09/30/2021We're Project Managers. We Still Hired Her...And We Will NEVER Regret It!!!
The day-of coordinators/planners at Event Shoppe Chicago come highly recommended.
For context, my husband and I worked closely with Christina Clewlow for about 5-6 months before our 9/5/21 wedding---she was our day-of coordinator, but with the services she was providing us well before the actual day she was practically a wedding planner to us. We had an 85-person, 10hr long day at Barrington's White House in downtown Barrington, IL.
There is one word that comes to mind when I think of Christina, and that is life-saving. Christina helped us save time, money, and ultimately peace of mind. Without her we would've made bad timeline choices; wouldn't have been able to navigate tough conversations with unexpected vendor troubles leading up to the day; and would've made a grave mistake with figuring out transportation for the grand send-off had it not been for her recommendations.
Pros working with her before the big day include:
• Efficient, timely, and specific email communications
• Her working behind the scenes to communicate on our behalf with our other vendors where necessary
• Availability and being easy-to-reach, even when we had last-minute cancellations
• Flexibility in scheduling (meetings were held virtually through Google Meet)
• In-person presence at our rehearsal to orchestrate things smoothly and pick up our personal items that she would then bring to the venue the morning day-of
• BIG PLUS: Pre-meetings to discuss timeline minute-by-minute---we had a "reverse-wedding" so we were not following the traditional route, but Christina was exceptionally well suited to the task
• BIG PLUS: In-person final venue walk-through for discussing game plan and visualizing the big day beforehand
Pros working with her on the day-of include:
• Efficient and accurate set-up---I did not have to worry a thing about decor placement and I was able to eat breakfast and get my hair/makeup done quickly
• No one bothering us to ask questions---Christina was an excellent point-person and liaison between my bridal party, guests, and other vendors. My husband and I were even able to have a private 15min. moment for just the two of us, right after the ceremony and before jumping into cocktail hour
• Successful execution and flow management---Christina told us exactly where we needed to be and when, and all vendor breakdown was completed on time as scheduled. We did not have to do any thinking on our part.
I'm happy to report after the fact that everyone who attended our big day enjoyed themselves beyond expectation. Christina felt like a friend and a guardian from beginning to end; she always acted in our best interest without ever being too micro-managing or overbearing. She never once over-stepped, but she was always consistently checking the details. Throughout all our interactions she was attentive, sensitive, empathetic and willing to help. My husband and I are project managers in our regular 9-to-5 day job, so believe us when we say Christina was thorough, organized and saw everything through to the end.
TL;DR: Please do yourself a big favor and hire a day-of coordinator from Event Shoppe Chicago. I guarantee you will get the most value out of your dollar, and you will save both you and your spouse stress, time and money on your wedding day.
(Christina, if you're reading this...we love you! Xoxo, The Gonzaleses)

Jacob Sent on 09/23/2021Look No Further For a Planner!
If you are on the fence about if you should get a wedding planner, trust us: Hire Jennifer Price and Event Shoppe!
At our very first meeting at the Chicago Wedding Walk, her energy, knowledge, and care were evident to us, and we immediately knew we needed her as a part of our wedding team! We met her and another planner that day, and felt such a strong connection to them. They loved the vision we were going for on our wedding day and were excited to do one of their first brunch weddings with us!
We went with Jen and ESC’s mid-package as we were having an out of state wedding since we recently left Chicago for FL, and knew that having someone help keep us on track would be key to a smooth process. After signing the contract and having our first official meeting with lots of laughs over coffee and breakfast, she got right to work. We had a vision to bring in as many Black-owned and LGBTQ+ businesses/vendors as possible to our big day and Jen really took this piece to heart when selecting our team!
From carefully creating our wedding timeline, recommending fantastic vendors, managing and communicating with those vendors, reviewing contracts, to all of the wedding day details including set-up, transportation, and keeping us on time during our perfect day, Jen does it all! Not to mention, Jen kept us up to date on COVID19 restrictions in Chicago and reassured us that we wouldn’t need to reschedule, but if we did she had already ensured our vendors had fair clauses in place for rescheduling. Knowing that she works with honest people who care about their clients made us even more excited and comforted to work with her team!
Wedding day came and went, and Jen and Alyse made our wedding day absolutely spectacular. Every detail was perfect, and she made sure that we were taken care of- she brought us drinks and hors d'oeuvres after the ceremony so we wouldn’t starve, and made sure we ate (a big wedding day challenge!). We absolutely could not have had the perfect wedding day of our dreams without Jen and Event Shoppe, and we hope that everyone can have the day that we did. Jump off that fence and welcome them to your wedding team now! We can’t wait to get drinks with Jen when we’re back in Chicago… she’s not just our wedding planner, but a new member of the family! -

Abby Sent on 09/01/2021Event Shoppe Chicago is amazing!!
If you’re wondering if you need a day-of coordinator, the answer is YES. Booking Jennifer to help with our wedding was the best decision we made. From our first conversation, we knew her guidance and knowledge would be invaluable. She provided countless tools, checklists and guides as well as check-in meetings along the way. She was always available at a moment's notice for anything in between. If that isn’t enough of a reason to book Event Shoppe Chicago, where Jennifer and her team really shine is the day of. They made sure everything came together perfectly and coordinated with every vendor to make sure our wedding day was set up just as we envisioned. The best part of all… you don’t have to worry about a single thing! The best example of this is when our first look location became unavailable just moments before going up for pictures. Jennifer was able to utilize her amazing connections and find us another location. She had solved our problem before we even knew about it. It’s almost like magic but Jennifer is the magic. We couldn’t recommend them enough!! -

Ada Z. Sent on 08/31/2021I felt at ease and very satisfied with the service
I am forever grateful to Jrnnifer and Event Shoppe Chicago (ESC) for making it possible for me to enjoy my family, friends, my husband and just be a beautiful worry-free bride!
Covid forced us to reschedule our wedding, which fortunately, gave me time to really dig into planning.
But as it got closer to the new date, I began to panic! Everything was just about done, but I wasn't sure if I'd forgotten anything nor did I have any idea how to keep things moving
smoothly on the day of..
We really needed someone there to coordinate setup, breakdown and be a point of contact for our vendors. I was really nervous about things being organized and moving smoothly, so we didn't have to worry.
That's when I came across Jennifer and ESC!
Our first meeting was a ZOOM one.
Jennifer's smile and kind eyes welcomed me as she laid out exactly what being a day of coordinator would look like.
ESC doesn't wait until 12 weeks out from the wedding day as most coordinators typically do because at that point, anything that might need attention, 12 weeks could be to late to fix any problems at that point.
Jennifer was only an email away to give her insight and advice. I did most of the heaving lifting by securing our venue and vendors, and jennifer finalized the details! She made sure that I had everything I could possibly need, even made suggestions from her detailed list of preferred vendors.
The night beforehand at the Wedding Rehearsal, she helped us understand wedding étiquette, lined us up in order of appearance andmade sure we knew our "cues" for the day of. On the day of the wedding, she arrived all smiles and love...I knew everything was going to be alright because JP had it on lock! She talked to limo driver, my photographer and the venue coordinator; All I had to do is show up. 🙂Anything my husband and wedding party needed, all we had to do was put it in her hands!
The day was glorious.
If you are looking for Day of Details Coordination and want to be able to relax and just be a bride and enjoy your special day....you really need to bring Jennifer and ESC into your family like we did.
You won't be disappointed.
Jennifer Price, ESC owner and lead planner, wonder woman, JP the Magnificent..I love her dearly and you will too!

Jen is amazing
Jennifer is an amazing planner. So far, she’s planned two events for me and both have been wonderful! I love that Jen listened to my wishes and executed my request in a timely and professional manor; which was less stress for me. Jen has unique ideas and a great eye for detail. And, her decorating skills are STUNNING! If you’re looking for a great planner, give her a try, you won’t be sorry. -

Jennifer is AMAZING! She’s very responsive & flexible. She was willing to tailor my wedding planning package to fit my needs and my budget. Ever since I’ve hired her it’s been smooth sailing. She’s very professional & her personality is wonderful. She’s always as excited as you are when you give her good news.

Jennifer did a fantastic job managing our wedding of 320 guests in Chicago. This was no easy task & she was fantastic in her approach to make our day the best ever. She is a great communicator and was very proactive in the months leading up to the event to ensure the day would be a huge success.

Wedding Savior
In January of 2013 "Event Shoppe Chicago" saved my daughter and I from becoming enemies for life. The wedding date was set for July 6,2013 and I knew we needed help! I am a very conservative person and my daughter is more free spirited. We were at odds about everything from flowers to chairs and we even stopped speaking for two weeks over the dress. Jennifer’s team came in and calmed the waters. Her creative thinking allowed us to stay within my conservative budget but gave my daughter the wedding she always dreamed of. She helped guide us through the process. The venue she help us select allowed us to have the wedding and reception for 200 people at the same location in two amazingly beautiful separate spaces. Her budget and design recommendations were spot on. She took the time to really know both my daughter and I so that the wedding was chic and affordable. Best of all the reception was the best party my family and friends had attend in years, we actually had to turn the lights on to end the party. I would highly recommend " Event Shoppe Chicago”, Jennifer and her team will always be my go-to-team for any event I give from now on!

Corey Sent on 06/29/2021Who Gonna Call: Event Shoppe
Getting married can be tricky, juggling contracts, family members, and still living your busy life. Out of all the decisions we made about our wedding day, hiring Jennifer was the best value for our time, money & sanity.
We hired Jennifer in 2019, and she helps us grieve, cope and gameplan how we wanted to celebrate our big day. That support was vital, especially as she guided us through the new rule changes, securing and backing out of venues. Especially when it came time for contracts and understanding "force majeure." If you don't know what that is, you may need to hire EventShoppe
Lastly, on the day of our wedding, she was a constant force of calmness and kept everything on the rails. She handled problems before we even thought to try and solve them ourselves.
P.s
As a proud member of groomzilla, class of 2021. She made sure that both of us were represented throughout the entire process.
Suppose you are reading this and unsure about working with her. Please reach out
Yes, her shop is that good.

Livia Sent on 12/07/2020Event Shoppe Chicago is the only Wedding Planner you'll need!
Jennifer at Event Shoppe Chicago was a wonderful day-of coordinator for our intimate rooftop wedding in Chicago. We booked Jennifer’s services before the beginning of COVID-19, and although we had to change our date and our plans more than once, she was exceptional in helping us navigate all of the local government mandates and restrictions, and in helping identify additional factors we needed to take into consideration to keep ourselves, our guests, and our vendors safe. After we finalized our date, we met up and went through our plans for the day from start to finish. Jennifer was quick to identify things that my fiancé and I hadn’t thought through, and helped us find solutions. She also identified some vendors that she had worked with in the past—all of whom ended up being great recommendations! On the day of our ceremony, Jennifer was great at managing our other vendors, and she and her team kept things running smoothly. She coordinated with our florist to pick up the flowers and get them arranged at the venue, and managed getting our marriage license to our officiant and any outstanding vendor payments. Since we had a livestream component in addition to our in-person guests, she and her team helped navigate and troubleshoot small issues that popped up throughout the day, including arranging and moving our flowers, working with the servers and bartender to keep our guests fed and well hydrated, and reminding our guests to put their masks on to keep everyone safe while we celebrated. At the end of the night, she and her team packaged and organized everything we had left at the venue and brought it back to our apartment. She was very thorough in organizing what we had left over, and sent a follow-up email a few days after the ceremony to wrap up any loose ends. The only component that didn’t happen during the reception that we expected to happen was getting champagne to our in-person guests for the speeches and toasts. However, our event timeline was a little different than a typical wedding reception timeline, since we wanted our digital guests to be able to see the first dance, cake cutting, toasts, and bouquet toss without spending the entire evening tethered to their computers. We still did get to enjoy the champagne near the end of the night with our guests, and when she and her team brought out the champagne, the impromptu toasts our guests shared were very memorable. All in all, Jennifer was incredibly thorough, professional, helpful, organized, and understanding during the planning-during-a-pandemic process, and she and her team brought great energy to our ceremony and reception! We were glad to work with her, and it’s evident that her passion for planning and coordinating weddings comes from her heart. We definitely recommend Jennifer if you’re considering a wedding planner or day-of coordinator! -

We worked with Event Shoppe Chicago, and our coordinator Jennifer Price, and other team members - Victoria and Celeste - all played a key role in keeping our wedding day organized. She communicated well with our vendors leading up to the event, which made the planning process feel a little less overwhelming. Having her as a point of contact gave us confidence that things wouldn’t fall through the cracks.
On the wedding day, Jennifer managed the schedule and checked in with us often to make sure we were comfortable and on track. There were still some decisions that needed our input, but it was helpful to know someone was overseeing the flow of the day. She also stepped in to handle small issues behind the scenes so we didn’t have to stress about them in the moment. Victoria was with me immediately prior to walking down the aisle and really helped keep me calm before I walked down the stairs to meet my parents. Celeste was with us at the end of the night and really helped us close down the night well and collect all our things prior to leaving the venue. Lastly, one of our vendors really dropped the ball on something, and Jennifer and Victoria stepped in and went above and beyond.
The biggest benefit of working with Jennifer and Event Shoppe was that it freed us up to be more present with our family and friends. Weddings naturally come with a lot of moving parts, but having a coordinator meant we could focus on enjoying the experience instead of worrying about logistics. If you’re deciding whether to hire a coordinator, we’d say it’s worth it for the peace of mind.
