    Not a want but a NEED

    Beth G at Everlasting Impressions took over as my day of coordinator at the most perfect time in wedding planning. The last month before the wedding and wedding weekend was a breeze thanks to her expertise and commitment to making sure my wedding day dreams became a reality! From having extremely helpful and organized wedding planning resources to making sure my vendors were working towards the same goal, she is someone you absolutely need on your side for your wedding. Myself and my family truly got to enjoy our weekend!

    HIGHLY recommend!!!!

    Cannot rave enough about Kristen – we would have been lost without her help! She went so above and beyond to make sure things went smoothly, and made herself so available to guide us throughout the entire wedding planning process. We (and many of our guests) were so blown away by how well she was able to wrangle/organize an enormous bridal party and so many vendors from the rehearsal through the wedding day. Kristen went out of her way to advise us on things we hadn’t even considered and we are SO appreciative. We are truly going to miss working with her and are already highly recommending her to all our family and friends.

    Smoothest Wedding Day

    Kristen was an amazing day-of coordinator! Looking back, I couldn't imagine hosting our wedding without her! She helped keep us on track and organize our ideas. Her experience with what works well at our venue (Gardens of Woodstock) and weddings in general was incredibly valuable. Even through pandemic planning, she was positive, supportive, and realistic. Our wedding party and families felt perfectly rehearsed and prepared thanks to her itinerary and level of detail. Day-of, she was attentive, professional, and instrumental in keeping it a seamless event. I can't thank her enough for such a smooth wedding day!

    Thank you!

    We cannot thank Kristen enough for making our wedding day to special! We had hired Kristen for day of coordination and the entire day ran so smoothly because of her. We have a loud family and she made sure everyone was where they needed to be and that everything was just perfect for us. Our day would not have been then same if she wasn't there. Everyone needs Kristen on their wedding day!

    Amazing Experience!

    Kristen from EverLasting Impressions is AMAZING! My husband and I had hired a few vendors before we contacted Kristen and we were looking for someone to help us pull everything together. We hired her to help with consulting, to attend various vendor meetings and as our day-of wedding coordinator to help with all of the logistics of the wedding weekend. She is upbeat and so organized. She did a wonderful job keeping me organized and making sure that all the details on our timeline were in order and ready to go. She was instrumental in helping us find our florist and the person who did our invitations, both of which did a beautiful job. Kristen was reliable, knowledgeable, kind, helpful and resourceful. She made sure that all the little details of our wedding were in order and just beautiful! Our entire day ran smoothly and stress-free for us, we truly were able to enjoy every minute of our day. We will always be grateful for that. Thanks to Kristen, we had the amazing wedding we were hoping for and our family still talks about our day. We highly recommend EverLasting Impressions! Kristen is the best!!

    They allowed me to have the best day of my life

    Jessica was able to help my mother and I keep our stress down leading up to, and on the day of my wedding. She always asked great inquisitive questions, helped with knowing what is needed, what is typical and what really works best for the flow of a wedding. Definitely listen and use her advice because it will pay off! The day of we had both Kristen and Jessica helping out, and they took my ceremony decorations vision and made it 10,000 time better than what I could have imagined. After that they helped with guests questions, vendor questions, and making sure I had what I needed at all times. Most importantly they helped with the after math of when the wedding was over, this was an additional cost but so worth it! My husband and I were able to get on the bus with all of our parents, and all of our other guests and go back to the hotel which made the ending to our wedding even better!

    Best decision ever!

    I did not originally plan on hiring a wedding coordinator but as soon as I met Kristen, I knew that I needed her! I originally met with her to talk about possible decorations at my wedding, but I quickly realized that what I needed was her coordination package. Even though it was described as "day of" coordination, it was SO much more. We met with Kristen several times to go over every detail of our day and emailed constantly. I never felt like she was too busy for me, in fact, I had no idea she was working on multiple weddings the same weekend as mine, she made me feel like my wedding was the only thing on her mind. At the rehearsal is when I really realized how important she was to our day...I have a very large family, plus my whole wedding party, which can be difficult to get that many people organized but Kristen clearly knows what she is doing and got everyone in line to get through the rehearsal quickly. She put together a seven page itinerary for our day, down to the minute of when everything was going to happen and then made sure it did! As far as set up for the wedding, I don't know what we would have done without her and her team. I gave her so many boxes of decorations and while some things I had a clear vision for, other things I just told her to just use what she wanted to make it look nice and she went BEYOND what my vision was and made everything look PERFECT. I honestly couldn't have asked for a more perfect day and I know it would not have happened without her. I will be recommending her services to everyone I know getting married because every bride should have a Kristen making sure her day is perfect. Thank you again!

    The BEST Wedding Coordinators

    Jessica from EverLasting Impressions is AMAZING! My husband and I planned most of the wedding ourselves but wanted a day-of wedding coordinator to help with all of the crazy logistics of the wedding weekend. Thanks to Jessica, our wedding was perfect! She was instrumental in handling all the details of our rehearsal and wedding day and completely took all of the stress off of us so that we could really enjoy our big day. She was even very helpful throughout the wedding planning process, providing a very detailed to-do list with frequent check-in emails/reminders to make sure we were staying on track with our wedding timeline. If you want to be stress-free on your wedding day, you can absolutely trust Jessica and the rest of the team at EverLasting Impressions to make sure your wedding is the best day of your life. I honestly cannot recommend them enough - thank you for everything!!

    Best wedding planner ever

    Kristen's amazing! We fell in love with her during our initial meeting and booked her planning package right away! She guided me every step of the way, and sent me reminders of due dates and must dos. She also ensured that vendors were on time during the wedding day. Our bridal party, family, and friends, commended how smooth our timeline was, and how everything was perfect. Kristen truly put all of our vision together, and made my wedding Pinterest board come to life!

    On a side note, we lost my father in law before our wedding, and Kristen suggested ways that we could honor him during our day. We appreciate her so much for that.

    We will miss working with her! My husband and I are so grateful for everything that she did.

    You MUST hire Everlasting Impressions Events!

    When you don’t want to worry about a thing on your wedding day, let someone else do it for you. And make sure that person is Kristen Milano, owner of Everlasting Impressions Events!

    While we did majority of the planning ourselves, we wanted (and needed!) a lot of help on our wedding day. I can be pretty Type A when it comes to parties and perfection, and we didn’t want to worry about a thing on our big day. Our photographer recommended Kristen, and we were more than impressed with her work ethic and professionalism. And her fun personality is a big plus too!

    From every meeting to every phone call and email, Kristen handled all questions and day-of planning with ease. She asks clients to fill out a specific web-based “wedding planner” to give her all the pertinent information regarding venues, vendors, the guest list, etc. And she checks in to make sure you’re getting it done. Because, let’s face it, procrastinating is easy. To be honest, I wrote this review along time ago and kept forgetting post it – and it’s way overdue.

    Once Kristen had all the information she needed, she created a detailed timeline of the day and helped us stick to the plan. She attended our rehearsal and made sure the bridal party had copies of the day-of itinerary. Once the day came, she made sure everything ran smoothly.

    From getting both groups (at the bride’s mother’s house and the groom’s mother’s house) to the church on time to getting through all the post-wedding photography on time to making sure dinner/speeches/the first dance and more went off without a hitch, Kristen and her associate Sophie took such great care of us. They also made sure my new husband and I had plenty of appetizers and food, because it’s easy to forget to even get anything in your stomach with all that happens on your wedding day.

    Something else we will be forever grateful for is that she helped us with the setups. For example, at the church Kristen and Sophie made sure the programs were accounted for and handed out. At the reception venue, they did even more. The night before the wedding, I dropped off a bunch of items at the venue for a memory table, an escort card table, a selfie station, a digital slide show, and a portable air hockey table. I sent Kristen pictures of how I wanted each table set up, and she and Sophie worked their magic and made everything happen on our wedding day, and made them look even better than we imagined. We also had given her table numbers and wedding favors for every seat, and everything was perfectly placed.

    We couldn’t be happier we chose to work with Everlasting Impressions Events. Kristen is a bride’s dream, and her associate Sophie was also very helpful. We highly recommend working with her whether you need some help on your big day or you need someone to hold your hand throughout the entire planning process. Her services are worth every penny, and she will make your wedding day dreams come true!

    Kristen. Is. The Best.

    How do you write a review for someone who single-handedly made your wedding the prettiest, least stressful, most enjoyable day you have ever had?? Kristen is a goddess. Right away we knew she was the right fit for us. She took the time to get to know us before we contracted, so both sides knew what they were getting into. We picked the Full Planning Package, and that allowed us to occasionally get distracted by buying a house and major job changes without worrying that we were losing track of our wedding checklist and timetable. We met frequently and every time I came away feeling more and more prepared for the day. She brought things up I wouldn't have even considered, she helped give advice but never pushed. On the day of the wedding I didn't have to think about anything but what was happening in the moment. A truly precious gift. Kristen and her assistant really went above and beyond. The day truly felt like us. Thank you Kristen for being a rock for us throughout everything!! If you aren't sure if a planner is in your budget, let me tell you that NOT having Kristen would have been a disaster and we couldn't afford to NOT have her brilliant mind and kind soul working for that one beautiful day. (PS- sorry I didn't eat enough dinner even though you Specifically made time for me to!! lol, SO EXCITED!) LOVE YOU KRISTEN!

    Amazing Experience

    We had an amazing experience working with Kristen and Everlasting Impressions. From our first meeting to the day of our wedding, Kristen, went above and beyond to make our wedding vision a reality. Everything was absolutely perfect and we owe so much of that to Kristen. We didn’t have to worry about anything as she kept us very organized and answered all our questions along the way. Kristen obtained all our vendor contracts and contacted our vendors before our wedding to ensure everything was in check. She went above and beyond to ensure she knew all the details. We couldn’t have done it without her and would recommend Everlasting Impressions to anyone looking for a wedding planner.

    Everlasting Memories

    Everlasting Impressions was absolutely flawless! Kristen was such a wonderful person to work with - perfecting ever detail, making every moment was so special and making our day the best day ever! She understood and crafted every detail we gave to her. Her presence was such a stress relief and we could trust her fully. She 100%, without a doubt, will go above and beyond to make your day incredible. We couldn't have done it without her! A bride and groom have a vision of what their day will be; from the decorations, bridal party, ceremony, reception, etc. and with Kristen's help our day was magical. It was perfect and we wouldn't go back to change a thing. Everlasting Impressions will leave you with a memorable day that will last a lifetime! They are passionate, punctual, fun and kind. You will not regret booking them for your wedding day! They will knock it out of the park :)

    We hired Kristen as our day of planner. She was so much more than that. We met multiple times leading up to the wedding and she did monthly check ins to see how planning was going and if I needed any assistance. She is very knowledgeable and had great suggestions. She provided our bridal party and family with a detailed agenda so everyone knew where they needed to be and when. The day ran so smoothly and I got to relax and enjoy myself.

    Kristen is a MUST DO! I had her for the day-of- coordinator and she went above and beyond to make the day flow smoothly! She is reliable, detailed, and very kind and easy to work with! She communicated frequently to make sure that I had done everything that I needed to do and helped me organize every last detail of the day. Without her I would have felt lost! The day was absolutely perfect and I attribute that to Kristen! You will not regret it!

    We loved working Kristen! So glad we made the decision to work with her! Being a pretty organized bride, and knowing exactly what I wanted, I wasn't sure we needed a planner, but we ultimately decided to hire one to ensure that the day would run smoothly and we wouldn't have to worry about much. After some extensive research and a great initial conversation with Kristen, we went with her! She was attentive, listened to what we wanted, and made some great suggestions along the way of things I didn't even think of. She also asked the vendors some questions that I would have overlooked, and was on top of everything the day of. Having a planner/coordinator is worth EVERY PENNY! We would recommend Kristen to anyone!

    10/10 for these ladies! Thank God I booked them! My wedding day was a fantastic whirlwind and without these ladies I would not have enjoyed a minute of it. I was an out-of-state bride and only a month and a half out from my wedding when I booked their Day-of Coordination services. If you are on the fence or not sure about making space in your budget, make space and book them! These ladies are very professional and VERY good at what they do. Their planning site is so helpful, and their input along the way was so valuable. They did all of the set up of my decorations, coordinated all of the vendors arrival and setup to ensure my vision was executed beautifully. They were also a huge advocate for me Day-of. My photographer was changed last minute (scary) and they made sure the new photographer was aware of my Must-have Shots, and re-directed him when things got sidetracked so that he got everything on the list in a timely manner. They kept my Bridal party of 5 girls and 6 guys in check and where they needed to be and they kept a drink in my hand and a smile on my face the whole night. If you're considering trying to set it all up yourself, or delegating it to your family or bridal party, don't. Let your family and friends celebrate the day with you, enjoy the morning of your wedding without having to set up decorations; leave it to the pros. My guests were beyond impressed with the entire wedding and the perfect timing of everything. These ladies are true professionals and I am positive my wedding day would not have been so smooth and beautiful without them.

    I am just starting to come down from my wedding buzz! The wedding couldn't have gone better and that has a lot to do with how wonderfully Kristen and her team handled everything. ( especially those rowdy groomsmen !) I wondered , when my daughter and I first started planning, if hiring a wedding planner was a bit indulgent on my part. Oh my! Kristen was essential!! There was so much that she did that I didn't even think about. From start to finish , she took care of things so I could enjoy watching our baby girl get married. I highly recommend her!

    Kristen and her team are amazing at taking all the stress off of your shoulders on a day where you want to relax and focus on your groom! Kristen and her team made that possible. She is super organized and takes the stress of planning a wedding away and makes it a day to always remember!

    Hiring Kristen was essential to make my wedding day smooth and stress free. My bridesmaid, she was a bridesmaid for 5 other prior weddings, even commented this is the first wedding she has been to with a wedding planner and the first one she could enjoy without worrying about coordinating vendors or solving problems. If you spend thousands of dollars on one day, you at least deserve to eat, dance, and mingle with the guests. Offloading all those pesky details made that happen, and even more enjoyable to work with someone as kind as Kristen. I can't sing enough praises for her help keeping me on task and creating a dream come true. She took care of the smallest details, making sure the bridal party didn't go hungry until dinner, the groom didn't accidentally see me before the reveal, tiny notes I missed in vendor contracts, etc. Once again, I can't sing enough praises.

    Kristen is incredible and helped me SO much with getting to the finish line for my wedding. Our first meeting she was prepared and ready to give advice and answer every question I had. She kept me on task and was happy to guide me in the right direction on everything from ceremony, to linens to flow of reception. She made sure she asked me what stressed me out most and put extra attention on those details. She was exactly what I needed and I couldn't have asked for someone better to help me have the best day ever!

    Kristen was so amazing throughout the process of finding a wedding coordinator as well as throughout the planning process. She was always available and checked in constantly. She has such an amazing personality and handled our families and friends with such class. Our wedding day was so perfect and we absolutely could not have done it without her. If you are considering a day of coordinator, look no further. I don't know what I would have done without Everlasting Impressions. I was seriously sad to say goodbye to Kristen at the end of our wedding day!! Amazing !

    My husband and I decided to use a day-of wedding coordinator because we both have small families so we didn't want to worry about having to designate tasks during the wedding day to our family members. We wanted everyone to be able to sit back and enjoy themselves without having to worry about cleaning up or coordinating the details. My husband and I were also very fond of putting together a "team" of wedding vendors that we knew would jive and get along together during the process. We knew right when we met Kristen that she would fit in and get along with the rest of the wedding vendors that we had selected. Kristen's expertise and knowledge of the industry and the process was phenomenal! Even though she was "day of", she put together our itinerary and reached out to our vendors well in advance of our wedding to make sure that everything was set up and organized for the day of.
    The day of, my husband and I didn't worry about a thing - I knew Kristen had our backs, making sure the flowers were set up, the bridesmaids were on schedule, and the groomsmen weren't getting the groom too drunk before the ceremony :) And her and her assistant did all of that and more! It is the little things that I remember the most that probably seemed so insignificant at the time. For example, I casually mentioned to Kristen and Jessica towards the end of the night that I was headed back to the bridal suite to change my shoes. They said "don't you worry, you stay right here and we'll go get your shoes for you." It was such a small task but meant the world to me because they allowed me to enjoy every moment of the day while they took care of the details. If you are looking for a wedding planner or day of coordinator, I highly recommend Kristen and her team!

    We were on the fence initially about whether we needed a wedding planner, then we met with Kristen. Take one look at her binder, you will see her organizational skills and realize that you need her. Planning a wedding is exhausting, and even when think you have it all figured out, your wedding planner let's you know there is still more to do. And that's not a bad thing, because we didn't want to forget anything.

    Kristen was an absolute rockstar. She recommended two great vendors that she had worked with in the past that we ultimately went with, met with us several times, took our calls, and coordinated everything with our church, venue, and vendors. She kept us on budget as best she could (our fault not hers - go big or go home right?) and helped with all of the little details along the way. However, where she really shined was the rehearsal and the day of. She literally compiles an itinerary covering the entire wedding day that is more or less broken up into 15 - 60 minute increments, where applicable. It leaves no detail out, so there is no question who is supposed to be where, doing what and when. She ran our wedding day flawlessly. Literally. Everything went according to plan and was exactly as we envisioned it. Kristen save us so much stress and actually allowed us to enjoy our day as she handle the details and logistics.
    I also must say, she is super sweet, but can be stern when she needs to put an unruly member of the wedding party in check during the rehearsal. Kristen and Everlasting Impressions were crucial in our day being a success!

    Kristen did everything possible to make my daughter Samantha's dreams come true and beyond. Kristen and her team are WONDERFUL, they are the most caring, personable, responsible & thorough team. Kristen and her colleagues (I am sorry I do not remember their names) where the best, they got the job done and made sure that everything was taken care of before and during our day. The day was FABULOUS and we could not have done it without them. Working with Kristen is like working with a best friend. Thank you!!!!!!!

    I was in search for a day of coordinator who can take on our crazy 800 people Indian wedding. I came across EverLasting Impressions Events through the knot. I worked primarily with Kristen and I cannot describe how amazing she is! Kristen is so detail organized and always stayed on top of the game. She was super helpful and was always available to answer any questions and gave honest opinions. She truly has a passion for what she does and everything she does is from her heart! She really took her time to make sure everything was perfect. It's hard to come across genuine people these days and I am so glad to have had Kristen and her team apart of my wedding day. Throughout planning our huge wedding, Kristen was always so calm and confident even when I felt like going crazy :) Everything came out so so perfect! Thank you Kristen and team! I would recommend them in a heartbeat!

    Our wedding day wouldn't have been perfect if it wasn't for Kristen and Becky! From the very first meeting, they asked us what we were looking for in a day-of-coordinator. I responded that if I could clone myself for my wedding day so that I could be my normal type-A self and decorate the way I wanted to and organize everyone, all while actually enjoying my wedding day, that would be my dream world. Well, Kristen and Becky did that for us. It's very hard for me to give up control since I'm so detail-oriented and stress out easily, but after our final meeting with Everlasting Impressions two weeks before the wedding, I left feeling so relaxed and like I would actually be able to enjoy our big day because they had everything under control. And I had the best day of my life without ever thinking about if vendors were where they were supposed to be, where the flowers needed to go, or if all of the groomsmen actually showed up. They dealt with all of our vendors, created an extremely detailed timeline for everyone, helped run the rehearsal, made sure our large bridal party was in control and where they were supposed to be, and made our reception room look GORGEOUS among other things. If you're tossing around the idea of having a DOC or not, believe me when I say that you will not be let down if you work with Kristen and Becky. THE best decision we made during planning!

    I cannot recommend Kristen and Everlasting Impressions enough!!!! I was hesitant about hiring a wedding planner or day of coordinator thinking that I didn't want to spend the money and that I could rely on the caterer coordinator and venue coordinator - WRONG! Do yourself (and your family and friends) a favor by hiring Kristen to ensure that your day goes flawlessly - even if it doesn't, you probably won't know!

    I hired Kristen as a day of coordinator and she started working with me pretty early on. Extremely thorough and detailed, there was no way that Kristen was going to miss anything. It was pretty easy to trust Kristen with executing my wedding vision. She completely nailed it and could not have been more professional in working with our many vendors. Our vendors actually told us how much they enjoyed working with Kristen and her team and our friends and family loved them too!

    Kristen and her team are amazingly sweet and incredibly hard working. Our wedding was flawless and Everlasting Impressions was the main reason for that!

    When my became engaged to his partner and they planned to use US Cellular Field as their venue, I knew I would need some help. From the very first phone call Kristen put all my concerns at ease. She is so calming and sweet as can be. The guys were planning a large wedding with 200 guests. Kristen gave up an evening with her family to attend the menu tasting so she could visit, view, and take detailed notes about the venue. She wanted to be sure all details were attended to. She kept in monthly contact with my son throughout the planning process to ensure everything was on track with their planning. She attended the rehearsal and distributed detailed itineraries to every member of the wedding party. She is extremely organized! The venue consisted of three separate spaces and the evening flowed beautifully. From start to finish on the wedding day the only thing we had to do was enjoy the day. Kristen and her team took care of everything. I encourage you to hire Everlasting Impressions for your next event. You will not be disappointed.

    We used Kristen as our Day of Coordinator and we are so glad we did! We honestly could not have done it without here! She is friendly and organized, looking out for every detail. Although we only used her as our Day of Coordinator, she checked in on us frequently in the months leading up to the wedding. She was always there to answer questions and remind us of things we may not have thought of. It made it so easy for us to stay on task and not feel overwhelmed. At the rehearsal, she passed out the detailed itinerary to our wedding party and made everyone feel comfortable with what they had to do the following day. For the day of, she was amazing!! She kept me calm when I was running 45min late with my hair and make up. She would switch from checking in on me and setting up the reception space exactly the way I wanted it! She even last minute put up a beautiful back drop on arch because she thought it would look good, which it did! It was that last missing touch to our ceremony. Throughout the day/evening, she kept everything running so smoothly that I honestly did not have to do anything… not that I would’ve been able to since she made sure no one lifted a finger. She made sure that all we had to do was relax and enjoy our day. She was even there to bring us a plate of food and some water while we finished up our pictures during cocktail hour. We would recommend Kristen to anyone planning a wedding! I could not imagine planning our wedding without her!

    Where do I even start? Everlasting Impressions- Events was the best money we spent for our wedding!!!!! We hired Kristen as a Day of Coordinator and she was so amazing to work with. We were able to enjoy our own wedding without worrying about all the little details. From running our rehearsal to making sure EVERY single thing was set up EXACTLY how I wanted- our day was beyond perfect!!! Our reception venue did not have the friendliest staff and Kristen handled them so professionally and made sure everything went smoothly. She even let me borrow extra tablecloths and chargers at the last minute because she knew they would look so much better!!! She is so organized and thoughtful! She really just wants you to have the wedding of your dreams! Thank you so much Kristen and Jill!!! We love you!!

    Kristen was absolutely AMAZING!!! She made our day perfect with her awesome coordination and hard work. I cannot say enough about her!! It is easy to see that she truly cares for her clients, and goes above and beyond. Her and her assistant kept things on time and flowing throughout our wedding day, and we did not have to worry about a thing. Top notch for sure!!!!

    Look no further, you've found your wedding coordinator!!! Kristen was AMAZING! She was very responsive, knowledgable, and flexible. She was there every step of the way during the planning process with insight and guidance. She had ideas about details I had never considered. I felt like she was very in tune with what I felt were the most important parts of our day. During the day before, and day of the wedding there were little things here and there that didn't go quite as planned, that Kristen took care of and I didn't even know about until after we got back from our honeymoon and my bridesmaids told me about them! She goes above and beyond to make sure everything is nothing short of perfect and that you (the bride) are stress free all day and night. I can't say enough great things about her!! I would recommend her to everyone!

    Kristen was amazing. She had ideas that I didn't think of to make our day special. She always got back to me when I had a question or an issue. The day of the wedding we were to have it outside but the weather had other plans. At least 5 hours before the wedding I asked her if we could move it inside instead. She & her team transformed the room to something amazing & beautiful.
    Our wedding was October 3rd 2015.

    Kristen is an absolute gem to work with! She provided us with a terrific set of checklists, to-do lists, vendors and other must-have wedding information and followed-through to make sure we kept our planning on time and on budget. She was always available via cell, text and email, and was always prompt and thorough in her response. She offered many time & money saving ideas for decorating and was always polite, patient and calm. The best part of working with Kristen became evident on the day before the wedding when the bride and I (I'm the mother-in-law) ran out of time to decorate the venue the way we had envisioned. Kristen saw that we were in a bit of a panic and told me not to worry -- she and her crew would get everything set up exactly the way we wanted. We arrived the next day for the wedding and -- true to her word -- every decorating detail had been seen to and the venue was stunning! Better than the bride and I had even imagined it would be. I wanted the day to be perfect for my son and his new bride, and thanks to Kristen -- it was! We were able to relax and enjoy the beauty of the day with our friends and family while Kristen took care of all the behind-the-scenes activities. It was a truly magical day! :)

    Kristen was an amazing planner and huge help during our whole wedding planning process. We were both living out of town while planning our wedding and Kristen helped to coordinate things in town while we were away. On our big day she had the incredible task of setting up our wedding reception space, on a boat, in one hour, and the end result was amazing! We honestly could not have pulled off the wedding of our dreams without her! We would recommend her as a coordinator to any couple getting married as she is incredibly organized, thoughtful, honest, and truly caring.

    We hired Kristen to be our coordinator and she was great. She's super organized, which is what we needed. I'm very Type A, so I made a ton of spreadsheets and handed it all off to her, but she still had a bunch of good questions that I hadn't thought of so I was very glad that we hired her. She's also just the sweetest person and had a calming influence on us the week before the wedding and the day of the wedding. You can tell she really loves weddings! She also brought an assistant for the day of our wedding - who we didn't actually get to meet in all the running around so I didn't get her name - but who was also great because you could tell she and Kristen worked well together, even in little things like synchronizing the opening of the doors as we were introduced, etc. We had the most perfect wedding and even though I was anxious about all the details leading up to it, the minute Kristen arrived at the venue while we were getting dressed, all of my stress went away because I didn't have to worry or do anything anymore at that point, and she and her assistant were great. We didn't even notice them for most of the night because they were just making things happen and all of our attention could be focused on having the best day ever, which we did. Highly highly recommend! (Also, we had our wedding at the Logan Center for the Arts on the University of Chicago campus, so if you're considering having your wedding there, know that Kristen now has a lot of familiarity with this venue).

    Kristen has been awesome so far in our wedding planning experience, and it's only been a few months! We can't wait for our big day because we know she is going to help make it run SO smooth.

    **UPDATE 5/5/16: I have no idea what we would have done without Everlasting Impressions on our day. EVERYTHING - from the decorations, to the small details and set up, to communicating with the DJ And Officiant and making sure we had time to eat - was more than I could have imagined. Kristen and her team were worth every penny - and MORE.

    Kristen and her team at Everlasting Impressions are absolutely amazing!!! They made our big day perfect. Planning can be very stressful and Kristen made sure to take the focus off the stress and make it about the two of us and our marriage. Kristen was very professional with other vendors, responds promptly to messages and phone calls, is an amazing designer, and works hard to stay within your budget. I would highly recommend Everlasting Impressions to any bride and groom!! I cannot thank Kristen enough for all her hard work.

    We want to thank Kristen and her staff for making our day the most amazing and beautiful wedding anyone could have ever imagined. For the last 6 months of planning Kristen was by the bride and groom to be's side making sure every decision we made was going to be exactly how we wanted it to be. Kristen is a pro!!! We have never seen someone work so hard to make sure a Wedding would be so perfect. We recommend ALL Bride's to use Kristen, and her staff from EverLasting Impressions!!! Event planners help make the BIG day so much easier and less stressful, and leaves time for more fun (and partying). Kristen has the best ideas and designs I have ever seen or heard of. Kristen also focuses on each couples individual budget so each couple gets the most beautiful wedding no matter what the budget may be. I hope when bride's needs an event planner, they consider and meet with Kristen first!!! Thanks again for everything Kristen, our wedding would not have been anywhere near as beautiful if we didn't have you!!!

    Everlasting Impressions was the wedding coordinator suggested by our venue and Kristen was wonderful. She had wonderful suggestions but overall took our vision and made it a reality. We didn't have to worry about anything the night of because she had it completely taken care of. Everything was perfect and beautiful.
