    Spring Team!!!

    I was fortunately blessed enough to be able to be on the Riding Tandem team this semester and it has been nothing but a pleasure working with Carlie and Sarah! Carlie and Sarah both are so intentional in their relationships with others as well as their work ethic. I'm so excited work with them both and see what this semester has in store!

    Riding Tandem: yes! yes! yes!

    I am beyond thankful for Carlie and this internship. Not only have I learned so much about the wedding industry and what it’s like to run a business, but I have learned more about myself and have formed some great friendships along the way. If you are looking for a loving and passionate mentor, a group of girls to bond with, and want to learn more about the wedding industry or simply have an outlet to explore your interests, the Riding Tandem internship is for you!

    Great Team!

    I DJ'd a wedding with Riding Tandem's Sarah and team interns recently and have nothing but good things to say about them. Communication was easy and comfortable throughout the night. They were professional, easy going, and fun. As a DJ it's always nice to know your fellow vendors are there to help each other. One of the interns even offered helping me set up which was above and beyond.

    Can't wait to work with them in the future! I highly recommend them.

    Riding Tandem's reply:

    Thank you so much for your kind review! Our team loved working with you and hope to party on the dancefloor with you again soon!

    Summer Intern

    Being a Riding Tandem intern has been an amazing experience! Carlie makes sure to help you in any way she can! She is very personable, friendly, professional, and genuine! She shares so much of her knowledge with her interns, and also makes sure to have fun activities planned throughout the whole semester! This internship allows me to be creative & involved! I’m also so thankful for the girls I’ve been able to connect with through it!

    Do not hesitate!

    Do not hesitate to hire Riding Tandem to plan your wedding! I am SO happy we did. We got paired with Steph Vlad who made our wedding planning process so easy and stress-free. We loved getting to know her and she went above and beyond to make sure everything went smoothly and how we wanted! Steph and her team for took care of all the little details so all we had to do was enjoy our special day. I have been to so many weddings, but I never knew all the options/details that went into planning one, and I can see how it can become stressful! Having someone from Riding Tandem on your side is a no-brainer for me - it should be a fun process and mine truly was, thanks to Steph and her team :)

    Riding Tandem's reply:

    Thank you so much for writing such a kind review! We were so grateful to be a part of your big day! Everything was so beautiful and we wish you nothing but the best in this next chapter of life!

    Great value and so helpful!

    We had Alyssa from Riding Tandem help us with month-of coordination for our wedding, and we are so glad that we did. Our venue included a planner who worked there, but Alyssa was far more professional, knowledgeable, and helpful! We are so grateful for her help. She made everything go smoothly up until the wedding and even put out a couple fires day of. I would recommend Riding Tandem and Alyssa to any couple! We couldn't imagine our wedding without her!

    I have been so blessed to work with Carlie. She is such a hard worker and really puts her all into everything she does. She is so friendly and will definitely go out of her way to create a strong relationship with you.

    I'm an intern for Carlie now, but definitely a future bride!

    I'm currently an intern with Carlie at Riding Tandem and can speak to future interns AND future brides. As an intern, I have gotten to experience the behind-the-scenes work of planning a wedding and learned so much more than I ever thought I could. Not only have I learned so much as an intern, but as a future bride as well. Seeing how organized Carlie is, I know all of the details that need to be in place for the big day. I am DEFINITELY using her as my wedding coordinator someday, because she is hardworking, diligent, and so so kind. She truly cares about making the bride feel fully at ease. She goes above and beyond to make personal connections with the couple, their families, and each vendor involved in the big day. Ten out of five stars!!!

    Riding Tandem's reply:

    Thank you for your kind words, Noelle! Love having you on my team and I can't wait for your big day!

    Best Wedding Planner Ever!!!!

    Carlie is the BEST in the business!!! I had the privilege to intern for her and I have learned so much from her. She is a boss babe when it comes to the wedding business and truly wants to make sure every part of your special day is perfect. She is intentional with clients, organized to the bone, detail-oriented, highly knowledgable, and just the sweetest person you ever met. Carlie goes above and beyond for her clients to not only put the Bride at ease, but also the family so they can enjoy the special day too! She is an inspiration to me and so many others! If you’re looking for an amazing wedding coordinator who will make sure every need is met, look no further than Carlie at Riding Tandem!!

    Excellent Wedding Planners!

    We recently worked with Sarah and the team at Riding Tandem to coordinate my daughter's wedding reception at the Wrigley Mansion. It was such a positive experience! Sarah brings a calm but organized & efficient approach to the process... she was a pleasure to work with! The attention to detail was amazing.. from the set up of decor to the flow of the evening, to the sparkler send off it was a perfect event. Thank you, Riding Tandem, for letting me sit back, be present, and fully enjoy Marissa & Jake's wedding! I would highly recommend this company!!!

    Riding Tandem's reply:

    Thank you so much for your kind review!! We loved being a part of Marissa and Jake's special day! Everything was beautiful and it was a pleasure to help coordinate and see it all come together smoothly.

    Absolutely AMAZING!!

    I'm currently an intern at Riding Tandem and speaking from experience about what I have been able to witness is indescribable! I not only got to see how Carlie works, but I was also able to see how much thought and effort gets put into making your wedding day absolutely magical! Carlie goes above and beyond to make you as stress-free as possible and makes sure that every detail is perfected! I HIGHLY recommend booking Carlie if you're looking for a planner simply because she will take the time to get to personally know you and anyone else who might be a part of your special day!

    Do yourself a favor

    Our original wedding date was in April and we were not planning on hiring a coordinator. However, after postponing to December (and with a smaller guest list) we decided it would probably be worth the money to work with someone. Hiring Carlie and her Riding Tandem team was honestly the best decision we made. Carlie is AMAZING and took all of my stress away. She was professional, personable, flexible and kind. I cannot express enough how happy I am with our decision to go with the month coordination package. There were so many little details that I was not thinking of and I trusted that Carlie understood our vision enough to make those decisions. There are also so many logistical things to consider where it was well worth it to have Carlie and her team there to help us and our families get through the flow of the day. We also had several minor issues come up day-of that she handled seamlessly that I wasn’t even aware of them until the next day. If you are on the fence about hiring Riding Tandem, IT IS SO WORTH IT if you want to actually enjoy your day. Thank you Riding Tandem Team!!!!

    Megan, THANK YOU for your kind words!! Getting to be a part of your day was such a gift. We are so happy for you and Nick. Wish you nothing but the best!

    Carlie was super sweet and helpful in wedding planning! We did a free consultation in which she brought me flowers and helped me with all my questions!!! I was super thankful that she was willing to look through my Pinterest board, help with budget stuff, and give me helpful tips for my wedding day!
