I think it’s safe to say that our wedding would not have been as magical if we had not had all of the support from Tiffany Wilson at Liven It Up. We interviewed several different planners and ended up choosing to work with Tiffany because she had the energy & excitement that matched our own AND she came off very professional and prepared.

We worked together for about 20 months ahead of our wedding. She created a comprehensive planning document for us to follow that we reviewed together over a year before our date when we initially outlined our budget. It always felt like Tiffany understood what we were trying to go for (in terms of style, cost, etc.) and she offered a bunch of vendor recommendations. We had regular calls to discuss the next focus areas we needed to tackle which made the whole planning process feel very smooth. We did not feel the last minute ‘crunch’ to get everything done because Tiffany helped us map out the gradual path to our big day.

On the actual wedding date, it could not have gone any smoother. Tiffany took care of building out and sharing the timeline to the vendors. She worked directly with the venue and vendors to coordinate all of the arrival and staging logistics. She even helped the groom execute a surprise treat for the bride at the reception. At the end of the event, Tiffany made sure all of the tip envelopes were distributed and even brought up the groom’s tuxedo jacket & other misc. keepsakes up to their bridal suite.

We cannot recommend working with Tiffany enough. She was a great planning partner, resource, and coordinator. Our wedding was literally perfect, all thanks to the work Tiffany put in! (She worked well with our parents as well)

My daughter lives in NYC and was getting married in
Chicago and I live in Chicago. When she asked me what I thought about hiring a wedding planner I said that's a YES. We interviewed a couple and both agreed Liz was our person. Words cannot explain how impeccable she was at helping us plan the perfect wedding for my daughter and her husband! Every vendor she recommended went above and beyond and the day was absolutely amazing! Thank you Liz and Liven It up Events, if you want the day you have always dreamed about hire Liz

In order to adequately share the amazing experience we had working with Liz at Liven It Up events, I would need three days worth of pages. My husband and I were living in New York but getting married in Chicago. That being said, we needed someone we could trust to help us plan our wedding in Chicago. Upon our first conversation with Liz, we knew that she was the perfect fit. She is extremely organized, respectful, easy to work with and talented. Every single detail at our wedding was thought out and executed perfectly. She recommended AMAZING vendors and listened to my vision. She attended all of the vendor visits with us which was super helpful. Because of Liz, I was ACTUALLY able to enjoy my wedding day...I wasn't one ounce stressed, nervous or scared because I knew Liz had everything under control. If I could, I would have her plan all of my big events. HIRE HER, HIRE HER, HIRE HER! Thank you Liz, for all of your help and support over the past year, we will miss chatting with you daily :)
