    Above & Beyond is all we experienced

    We hired Wedding day Chicago (Kari) to be our officiant & day of coordinator for our wedding - We couldn't recommend her enough to anyone who is getting married!!

    Officiant Service:
    Kari took the time to get to know us & ensure that we felt comfortable with every part of the ceremony. Outside of scheduled sessions, she continued to learn about our relationship through very thoughtful survey questions and follow-up questions about our relationship. She took all of our asks and incorporated the most special parts of our relationship into our big day. We receive multiple compliments about she wove our personal stories into the special bond of marriage. It was an emotional day, but she made it unforgettable!

    Day-Of-Coordinator Service:
    KARI SAVED THE DAY! We decided to hire Kari for day of coordinating a month and a half before our wedding - It's easy to say that we would have been lost without her direction. She effortlessly worked with all of our vendors, constantly checked in for schedule updates, and most importantly, made the day stress free. Her assistant was also the sweetest to work with & they went above and beyond to make our wedding day as perfect as it was.

    Outside of her professionalism, she is an absolute gem of a human being to work with! We couldn't' be more grateful for her dedication throughout the whole process.

    Exceptional wedding coordinator and truly a pleasure to work with

    We are so grateful to have had Kari as our Day Of Coordinator. I knew from the start that Kari was going to be excellent. But I realized Kari was exceptional when the vendors and my family were commenting on how great working with Kari was.

    I chose Kari because just from speaking with Kari it was clear that she understood my vision and was very quick and agile in helping me figure out how to achieve my vision. When speaking with vendors, I was disappointed how a lot of coordinators were trying to enforce their generic Chicago cookie-cutter wedding timeline on us.

    What makes Kari exceptional is that she is great at understanding her client's vision, even if it is something foreign or new to her, which was the case in our situation. We wanted to incorporate both an Eastern and Western ceremony in a very short timeline. She is great at running with her client's vision and figuring out how to make it work.

    In addition to her usual roles like coordinating with all vendors, she goes above and beyond while not being over bearing with communication when we were already so overwhelmed with wedding planning.

    Choosing Kari as our wedding coordinator is THE BEST decision I made for our wedding.

    Turning Our Wedding Dreams into Perfect Reality

    My fiancé and I hired Wedding Day Chicago for our wedding DOC this past June. Kari truly ensured that our wedding day was as flawless as we dreamed it would be. Her expertise shone through from the very beginning, as she guided us seamlessly through pre-wedding preparations, recommended fantastic vendors, and meticulously constructed a flawless timeline.

    Kari's dedication to bringing our vision to life was evident in every aspect of the day. She orchestrated each moment flawlessly, handling any possible challenges sparing us unnecessary stress (seriously, if ANYTHING went wrong, we had no idea). Her collaboration and communication with our vendors created a symphony of teamwork that elevated our entire celebration.

    Kari ensured that every tiny detail was accounted for, leaving no room for uncertainty. When I expressed my nervousness about certain aspects, Kari went the extra mile to keep me in the loop and paid special attention to those concerns. This level of care made us feel heard and reassured throughout the process. Kari's careful planning dedication to perfection allowed us to bask in the joy of the day, knowing that every detail was being expertly handled.

    Kari's management skills, genuine care, and constant communication made our wedding day a dream come true. For a coordinator who transforms your vision into reality and provides unwavering support, Kari is the perfect choice. Our heartfelt thanks to her for making our day more magical than we ever imagined.

    worked out perfectly!

    We had a destination wedding in Mexico but needed to do the legalities in the States. We had planned on going to City Hall but due to Covid, the clerk there recommended we look for someone else to perform the ceremony. I am SO glad he suggested that as it led me to find Kari. We were able to choose a little spot to perform the ceremony that was so special to us (where we had our first date and got engaged!). Kari was quick to respond during the planning process and after a chat with myself and my fiance was able to really tailor the little ceremony to be both what we needed and super special as well. It wasn't what we originally planned but it ended up being so wonderful, we couldn't be happier! We felt it was very reasonably priced for the service provided and it is obvious Kari is knowledgeable about the process and really loves what she does.

    A perfect day, thanks to Kari - a phenomenal wedding coordinator

    I recently had the pleasure of working with Kari, my exceptional wedding coordinator, and I cannot express enough gratitude for her remarkable services. From the very beginning, Kari went above and beyond to ensure that my wedding day would be nothing short of perfection.

    Kari's ability to set clear expectations and maintain open communication throughout the entire planning process was truly outstanding. Her attention to detail and organizational skills were evident in every aspect of my wedding preparations.

    One of the most impressive qualities about Kari was her ability to handle all interactions with vendors. She effortlessly managed all the behind-the-scenes coordination, making sure that everything was taken care of flawlessly. Her expertise and professionalism put my mind at ease, knowing that she was meticulously handling all the logistics and ensuring a seamless experience for everyone involved.

    Working with Kari was an absolute joy. Her warm and friendly demeanor made the entire process enjoyable and stress-free. She listened attentively to my concerns and ideas, offering valuable advice and guidance along the way. Her patience and responsiveness to my questions and requests were remarkable, making me feel truly valued and prioritized.

    On the day of my wedding, Kari's exceptional skills truly shone through. Every detail was executed flawlessly, leaving me with nothing to worry about except enjoying the magical moments. Kari's presence throughout the day provided me with a sense of calm and assurance, allowing me to fully immerse myself in the joy of the occasion.

    I wholeheartedly recommend Kari to anyone in need of a wedding coordinator who will go above and beyond to make their special day truly remarkable.

    Thank you once again, Kari, for making my wedding day perfect.

    The absolute BEST

    I am not sure how to begin writing this review because I have too many good things to say about Kari! I will start by saying we absolutely would not have been able to have a successful wedding without her. She was our day-of coordinator for our November wedding and went above and beyond in supporting us! When our original venue went bankrupt in July, she calmed our nerves and made it clear she would do anything to help us find a new venue. She helped coordinate all of our vendors and even hopped on a very important call with our DJ. When my dress got covered in dirt during our first look, Kari helped my MOH scrub my dress until it was clean with an hour left until the ceremony started. During the wedding, Kari made sure everything ran smoothly and perfectly. It felt like we must have known Kari forever with how much care she showed us and our wedding. There's nobody better in the business and I couldn't recommend her more!

    Quick responses and very helpful

    My now husband and I hired Kari for our small, backyard wedding. She was very easy to connect with. We received quick responses to our emails and calls. She wanted to help tailor our ceremony to be personal to us. She didn't think twice about driving to our house to perform the ceremony. We were happy with our experience working with Kari.

    Absolutely wonderful!

    Kari with Wedding Day Chicago was absolutely wonderful! Kari was on top of every detail for our wedding. She communicated with our vendors and venue to coordinate all details (meals, set up/ pick up times, timelines, etc). Kari was always very responsive to any questions or needs we had. She helped remind us of anything she needed from us as well, which was very helpful! We couldn’t be more grateful to have her there with us on our wedding day! Kari made everything run so seamlessly. She met with us (the bridal party) at the hotel until we were ready to leave and coordinated vendors arriving (photog/video, floral, etc). She even had a back up itinerary and umbrellas for photo locations due to rain and it worked out wonderfully! Our family was so impressed with her work and would recommend Wedding Day Chicago to any couple! Thank you Kari for everything!

    Kari was simply the best.

    Kari from Wedding Day Chicago was incredible in every way. She was the absolute best, hands-down. From the start, I knew Kari was the perfect day-of coordinator for us. She is extremely knowledgeable in her expertise which made us feel extra comfortable in having her own the big day. She managed the vendors, the timeline, the details and helping us overcome any last-minute challenges that came up. Kari takes "day-of" to the next level. She was the biggest help throughout the entire planning process. I never doubted or stressed because I knew she had it all under control. When we look back at our big day, we picture Kari there, smiling, making sure everything was taken care of. Everyone ADORED her. Kari - we are so thankful for you. I tear up whenever I think about how special you made May 14th and it wouldn't have been the best day without you. We truly love you!!!

    Every detail was considered, problems were resolved immediately; a seamlessly perfect day

    Kari and her day-of coordination services was the best investment I made for our wedding day. She was thoughtful, professional, thorough and supportive throughout the planning process, and went above and beyond to help make the day perfect—from offering assistance to our officiant friend who was new to the experience, to coordinating with the DJ on a last-minute musician change to ensure we had the songs exactly how we wanted them. Kari was a significant reason the day was exactly as we envisioned. I can’t recommend her or her coordinator services enough.

    Amazing ceremony with Kari!

    Kari performed a beautiful ceremony and perfectly incorporated our story to make her remarks personal and touching. From our first call with Kari to our texts after the wedding, we were blown away by her passion for officiating and thoughtfulness in her work. She managed to incorporate all of our asks - blending Jewish & Christian traditions, talking to our friends about us, and having a few readings sprinkled in too. I’m not sure how she managed to do it, but despite only knowing Kari for a few months via a couple of calls, the story she painted during the wedding made it sound like she’s known us for years! We continue to have friends and family tell us how perfect the ceremony was, and we owe a lot of that praise to Kari. Thanks for helping to make our day so special!

    Wonderful!

    Kari was the perfect officiant for our vow renewal ceremony. Like so many couples, we had a covid wedding, so 1 year later we decided to have a vow renewal ceremony with our loved ones. Kari was super flexible on the script and want parts we wanted to include/exclude from our previous ceremony in the church. Thanks again Kari!

    Kari made everything SO EASY for us!

    My (at the time) fiance & I had chosen to have a small intimate ceremony. We came across Kari on Wedding Wire while looking for someone to help us officiate our ceremony. She was responsive, accomodating, and professional. She recommended and secured a beautiful space for us on very short notice. Kari tailored the ceremony to our wishes & made our special day even more special! We highly recommend Kari!
