    Hire Plan and Gather!

    We had the pleasure of working with Amy from P&G to help us with coordinating our wedding but she provided so much more than that! They had all sorts of great literature to share with us on things to focus on and when while we were going through the wedding planning process. Plan and Gather has curated a list of vendors that they know, have worked with, and most importantly trust when it comes down to start deciding which vendors to reach out to. For planning an extremely overwhelming event, P&G makes it easy on their clients by providing very helpful guidance. When it came down to the final month or so before the wedding, Amy was all over our vendors as well as the event coordinator at our event space. Once we got down to the final couple of weeks is where I really saw the value of utilizing P&G. The follow ups with all of the vendors, the help putting our timeline for our wedding day together, just having a person for all of our vendors to call and talk to on the day of our wedding was all so extremely nice so that we were able to enjoy our big day. We would 100% recommend Plan & Gather to anyone looking to help reduce the stress that comes with planning and having a wedding.

    Best vendor you could book for day-of coordinator

    I hired P&G for day of coordinator services for our wedding in February 2024 in Chicago. Amy and her assistant Lina were incredible. Amy provides these services starting about 10 weeks out and she was super attentive and responsive and took all the stress out of vendor coordination for me. I am a type A kinda of gal, but after our first meeting with Amy, I knew I could trust her to take the lead and leave me out of the middle man mess that planning can become. She did incredible contacting the vendors we had booked on our own to ensure everyone was ready for wedding day. Amy's energy and leadership is topnotch. P&G pricing is the best out there and worth EVERY penny and more!

    The Best!!!

    We worked with Haley as our day-of coordinator and we could not have asked for a better match! Haley was incredibly organized and on top of every single detail before our wedding and the day of. We had Mia as a second in command the day of as well and both she and Haley made sure everything was beautiful, organized, and just the way we wanted it. We loved coming up the aisle after the ceremony and seeing Haley holding our nephew, and Mia on the floor coloring with our niece - they really handled everything and everyone. We are so grateful to them!

    Day of coordination

    We had the pleasure of working with Mia as our day of coordinator - but she was SO much more than that! We started working together 6 weeks out and she was so helpful & organized. Mia was so amazing the day of - even helping to clean my dress after stepping in a puddle in the rain! Seriously a life savor!! Everything was perfect for our ceremony & reception too! Would highly recommend plan & gather (and Mia!!)

    Best Planning Experience 10/10!

    Haley with Plan & Gather was the best decision we made during the wedding planning process. From the start she jumped right in and helped keep us on track the whole way through. We hired Plan & Gather for month of coordination, but Haley still set up bi-monthly touch bases months in advance. She was extremely organized and super communicative anytime we had any questions. Our wedding day went super smoothly thanks to all the great planning and attention to detail. Our timeline was well thought out with everything we wanted to include in it for our day and vendor communication could not have been better. Would 10/10 recommend working with Plan & Gather!

    Plan + Gather is the BEST!

    Haley was our incredible day-of coordinator for our Chicago wedding and we cannot recommend her and the Plan + Gather team enough! Haley jumped in to planning about three months before our wedding—she was so organized, responsive, smart, and caring. She thought of every little detail and answered my constant questions with so much patience. On the day of our wedding, Haley kept everyone on time and ensured every single detail was perfect. If anything went wrong on our wedding day, we had absolutely no idea because Haley handled it so efficiently and calmly. Hiring Plan + Gather was one of the best decisions we made through our planning process. Our day went SO smoothly because of Haley’s amazing organization and planning. I will recommend her and her team to everyone I know! Thank you SO much, Haley!

    Haley, best planner at Plan and Gather

    We cannot say enough about Plan and Gather Events, and specifically Haley, our personal planner. We are doers by nature and thought we could handle it all, but without Haley, our day would not have run as smoothly. She was the thread that kept it all together. Both attentive, and kind throughout the entire process, she helped give us a night we will never forget! Highly recommend!

    Highly Recommend!

    Choosing Plan & Gather was one of the best choices we made during our wedding planning process. We had most of our vendors selected already for our April 2023 wedding when we started looking for a day-of/month-of coordinator. Haley started meeting with us weeks before the wedding and helped walk us through all of the details and kept us on track. We ended up having major issues & disappointment with our venue’s staff, but Haley went above and beyond to help minimize the stress that fell on us. We had an amazing wedding, and heard many comments about how great and organized Haley was. On top of keeping the timeline on track and taking care of all of the details on the wedding day, she also quickly stepped in to coordinate on a few occasions when our venue was not necessarily ready on their end. I really think that Haley/Plan & Gather is the main reason our wedding day went as well as it did. We are so grateful we had the opportunity to work with Haley on our wedding day and highly recommend to future brides & grooms!

    BEST decision we made

    Amy and Plan & Gather Events was the absolute BEST decision we made for our wedding. I was hesitant to hire a planner/coordinator at first due to being very type A and budget reasons, but as I started planning I realized how much there would be to do on the day of and weeks leading up. I decided to meet with Amy and was sold within the first 2 minutes of speaking with her. She made me feel so much more calm and supported, and I immediately felt the weight lift off my shoulders. We ended up hiring Amy for "day of" coordination, which included 8-weeks out as well. Aside from this, Amy was more than happy to answer any questions along the way and give vendor recommendations. Amy was extremely responsive and made sure every detail was covered. As a first-time bride, there were many things I didn't even think about and I had a million questions about the timeline and process. Amy took control of things I needed her to, but still let me plan my day the way I wanted. It was so nice feeling like I always had someone in my corner, especially when it came to dealing with vendors. I even had a vendor back out last minute and Amy found a replacement immediately. I didn't even know there was an issue until the replacement was settled! On the day of, I didn't have to worry about a single thing and was truly able to enjoy every second. I had a vision for my day, and Amy made sure that vision came to life. I could not recommend Plan and Gather Events enough. If you do anything for your wedding... HIRE THEM!!!

    Greatest Wedding Coordinator of all time!

    We cannot say enough WONDERFUL things about Haley and the Plan and Gather Events team. From the very beginning, Haley was super communicative, organized, and supportive of our wedding planning process. Quick to reply to emails and calls. Very knowledgeable about the wedding planning process, always thinking ahead, and went above and beyond to ensure we were happy with every single aspect for our special day. Extremely proactive when it came to working with our vendors and the venue, as well as present for our walkthrough and rehearsal. Haley supported with putting out our DIY decor, dessert table, and late night eats and really brought our vision to life. We truly wouldn't have had such a PERFECT day without all her support. If you are seeking a wedding coordinator, Haley is the ideal candidate. Thank you, Plan and Gather for being such a dream to work with. We will be referring you to all of our friends.

    Omg worth it

    I being the control freak that I am struggled getting a planner. I wanted it mostly for the day of coordination stuff and thought I would be able to handle everything else but man oh man was I wrong. With the package I got, Amy did much more than just the day of coordination. She handled things that I wouldn't have even thought of. She was organized, replied in a timely manner, and was able to help turn my dream wedding into a reality. I am so incredibly happy I chose to hire her for our wedding because not only would I have been a mess the day of trying to coordinate everything with vendors and whatnot, but everything else from helping me choose linen colors to telling me that I didn't need this but I did need this was beyond helpful. Hire her! You will not regret it!

    Amy was amazing!

    She was truly amazing at coordinating our special day and making sure that all the vendors were connected. She was great with communication and updates and I know the success of our wedding was because of her. Thank you, Amy!

    Highly recommend

    Haley was extremely professional and AMAZING to work with - for the few months leading up to the wedding, she ensured all of the "big" to-do items were organized, initiated phone calls to answer any questions we may have add and to ensure we were on time with our checklist, provided helpful tips, created a detailed timeline for the day of, and coordinated with the other vendors to confirm we were all in agreement with the timeline and expectations for the day of (plus much more!). Then, the few weeks leading up to the wedding, Haley fine-tuned ALL of the details and managed all of the specific needs of the other vendors. More importantly, Haley made the day of extremely organized (multiple guests approached my parents and complimented how organized and structured the wedding was) and stress-free for our large, 270-guest wedding. I can confidently say that our wedding would not have been as great as it was without Haley - 10/10 recommend Haley & Plant and Gather Events!

    Thank you Plan & Gather

    Aside from actually marrying my husband, hiring Plan and Gather, specifically Haley, was the best choice I made related to my wedding. The company develops a partnership with couples/families to provide high quality planning, care, support, and overall ease on what can otherwise be a taxing day! Haley provided exceptional attention and thoughtful care to all the details of our wedding. I truly felt like I could relax and just enjoy my wedding day. Knowing I had someone guiding the event that I could rely on was such a gift. I highly recommend Plan and Gather, and encourage you to hire Haley as your coordinator!

    Thank you so much for the incredible review, Vicki!! It was such a pleasure supporting you and your husband on that special day!!!

    The BEST experience

    Simply put, I do not know what I would have done without Haley from Plan and Gather Events!! Leading up to our day and the day of, she was incredibly organized, communicative, and SO professional. My other vendors had only amazing things to say about Haley and they specifically pointed out her kindness (!!!!), which was always such a breath of fresh air during stressful planning times. I couldn’t even tell if you something went wrong the day of our wedding because Haley definitely just took care of it. I can’t recommend Plan and Gather Events enough, and if you’re on the fence about getting a planner, I would recommend this company 12/10 times!!

    Plan + Gather Events's reply:

    Thank you so much for the amazing review, Sabina!!! We LOVED supporting you both on that big day!!!

    Made the day-of a BREEZE

    Haley and Amy were a breeze to work with. We had started correspondence beginning of 2020, talking about how we wanted things to go day of - then COVID hit and paused the timeline. Thankfully Amy & Haley kept all my details on file and kept checking in to see if I needed help planning a wedding 2.0 alternative.

    Luckily we were able to have the reception and Haley was amazing at coordinating the weeks leading up to the event. I didn't have to worry about a SINGLE detail on the day-of. She took the reigns weeks ahead of the day to make vendors knew she was the point person, and how the day was going to flow. From setup to tear down Haley was THE BEST. I could not have had such an easy, carefree day without her.

    Plan + Gather Events's reply:

    Yay!!! Thank you for this amazing review, Megan! We loved working with you both!!! It was truly our pleasure!

    BEST vendor decision we made!!!

    We hired Plan & Gather for month-of coordination for our October 2nd wedding, and we could not be more thrilled in our decision. From the day we began working with Amy, we knew we were in great hands and could stop worrying about every detail of our big day! (yay to sleeping without wedding nightmares anymore) Echoing other reviews, we really feel like Amy allowed us to enjoy the weeks leading into our wedding instead of stressing about the little things. From vendor communication, to timeline management and everything in between, Amy was 1000% on top of it! She wasn't just there for us as a vendor, but as a cheerleader and friend. She even made sure we were hydrated, fed, and happy all day! Hiring Amy was hands down the best vendor decision we made throughout this wedding. My husband and I joke that we'll throw another wedding celebration next year just to work with her again! Thank you for everything Amy! - Natalia & Andrew

    Plan + Gather Events's reply:

    Natalia - thank you soooo much for your kind words! You both were SO MUCH FUN to work with!!! Can we do it again every year?!!

    Amy was a lifesaver- hire her, you won’t regret it!

    My husband and I could not recommend Amy from Plan & Gather Events enough!! We would give her ten stars if possible. She was energetic, organized, and friendly from the moment we had our first phone call. We bought the month-of coordination package and I HIGHLY recommend any bride and groom to do this: it will be the best money you spend! Amy was in constant communication with us and our vendors and put our minds at ease in moments of stress. She allowed us to fully enjoy the weeks and days leading up to our wedding without having to worry about the small details. She even will come run your rehearsal! She went above and beyond for us: she was there early at the rehearsal and wedding day helping set up, direct people, problem solve, you name it! When the wind was knocking over the centerpieces, she immediately found a solution. When it started to rain right before I walked down the aisle, she put us in her car to keep us dry. She made sure we were relaxed & happy throughout the day. She was like the energizer bunny-- even though our venue was physically challenging, she did it all with a smile and can-do attitude. She is your go-to woman for everything and we feel so grateful to have worked with her! BOOK WITH PLAN & GATHER; YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT! Thank you Amy for everything!

    Plan & Gather is the best!

    Amy was amazing and essential to our wedding! We hired Plan & Gather for day of coordination, which ended up being the best decision of our whole wedding. Amy seamlessly handled all of the details leading up to our wedding including coordinating with vendors, managing our rehearsal, and making sure the wedding day was perfect and enjoyable to us. She thought of all of the last minute details that we would have missed. We couldn't have done it without her!

    June 2021 Wedding

    Amy & Haley were both so great to work with. We hired Plan + Gather for month-of and day-of coordinating after two of my friends used them for their weddings. Haley was our planner & I honestly don’t know what we would have done with out her!

    Leading up to the day, Haley seamlessly coordinated all of our vendors & their timelines/needs, while guiding me along the way when I needed her help or opinion (and I definitely had a lot of questions!) She kept everything on track & was the “calm to the storm” when we needed to make last minute changes to our original plan, along with a back-up plan because weather wasn’t looking too good for the wedding day. She totally understood me & knew what I needed in place in order to relax the last few days leading up to the wedding.

    On the day of, Haley was the driving force in making sure our vision came to life. It rained all day leading up to the ceremony & if Haley had not been at the venue overseeing everything, I know I would have been worrying about how things were going. Again, our calm to the storm.

    I am so, so happy we used Plan + Gather & would recommend them to any future bride. Both Amy & Haley are such wonderful people and an absolute joy to work with. As a detail-oriented bride with a pretty specific vision, trust me - you NEED a coordinator. For a while I thought I could do it by myself & looking back on it, that last month would have been so stressful & I know our wedding day wouldn’t have been the same. So… get yourself a coordinator, but more specifically, get yourself a Haley & Amy :)

    Amazing Day Thanks to Plan & Gather Events

    Thanks to Amy for such an amazing day. Amy was incredible with all of her help during our big day and the weeks leading up. It was such a relief to have her around as she was able to take care of all of the little things during the big day. It truly allowed us to have the best day ever. Everyone needs to give Plan & Gather an opportunity to plan your next big event!

    Amy is INCREDIBLE. I am very type A and it was very difficult for me to let someone else control all the wedding logistics. Amy goes above and beyond for all of her clients. Every time I would email her more crazy visions she would answer immediately and help me put my ideas to life.

    When COVID hit, Amy was there to support when I was coming up with plan A, B, and C. She offered thoughtful suggestions, connected me with vendors, and did an excellent job at helping relieve anxiety about our mini wedding celebration. During our mini ceremony, I was able to enjoy every moment knowing Amy had all the logistics under control. Even my fiancé was amazed at how seamless everything went and weeks later is still raving about Amy!

    I am SO excited to work with her again for our vow renewal in August. I know that event will go smoothly with Amy coordinating.

    Book her! You will not regret it.

    Great to work with!

    Amy was very helpful to us, especially when we had to change our plans because of covid. She was especially helpful with coordinating all of our vendors the week of the wedding. At our wedding, anything we asked for, Amy immediately made happen. She was also our "DJ" during the ceremony and first dances, and she did a great job! She was great to work with!

    Loved Plan & Gather!

    This review is way overdue but we loved working with Plan & Gather for our December Wedding. We went back and forth about whether we needed to have a day of coordinator and were so happy we did. Amy made our wedding day and the weeks leading up to our wedding a breeze!
