Bustle and Lace, LLC 

5.0

  • Offers 6 services
  • Starts at $2,800
  • Serves Des Plaines, IL

Since our founding in 2015, we’ve been providing expert planning advice and helping clients curate the wedding of their dreams. We are proud to be a woman-owned and operated business! To have the opportunity to play a role in our clients’ wedding day is truly a special gift. We respect our clients’ visions and values, planning each wedding with the utmost care.

We had the absolute pleasure of working with Michelle (Bustle & Lace) as our wedding coordinator at Sarabande Chicago, and I can't imagine our day without her support. Our wedding was a bit complex, it included a Hindu ceremony in the morning, followed by a break, then a traditional American-style cocktail hour, dinner, and dancing. Michelle handled every piece with grace and precision. Having had an Indian-fusion wedding herself, she was especially knowledgeable about many of the cultural details involved, which made us feel even more confident and understood throughout the process. One of the things that drew us to her was her unique coordination model, where we met with her every few months for a year leading up to the wedding. My husband and I knew that we wanted to stay very involved in the decision-making that went into wedding planning, and her package was the perfect fit for that. Even though we did a lot ourselves, Michelle’s expertise, thoughtful feedback, and vendor connections made the entire process feel guided and manageable. We actually enjoyed wedding planning more than we expected—largely because of her insight and support. She offered incredibly helpful input on our choices and timeline, and provided so much value long before the wedding day was even close. As we entered the final month, her coordination ramped up. She took the lead with our vendors, helped us stay on top of all our final tasks, and made sure nothing fell through the cracks. She also led our venue walkthrough with the full vendor team, helped with setup the day before, and made sure we felt confident heading into the big day. On the wedding day itself, Michelle was a calm, steady, behind-the-scenes presence. If anything went wrong, we never knew—she handled it all. She checked in with us the perfect amount to make sure we were eating, feeling good, and truly enjoying ourselves. Thanks to her, I was able to feel fully present and at ease, soaking in every moment of the day. I’m so deeply grateful for the peace of mind Michelle gave us—not just on the wedding day, but throughout the entire process. She’s a true professional, and I would recommend her wholeheartedly to anyone looking for a thoughtful, supportive, and experienced coordinator.

We had Brooke S. in Phoenix as our coordinator and we are floored with how she transformed our ideas into real life. She was incredible, so on top of each vendor communication and weekly meetings. She went above and beyond what we imagined and we couldn’t have done half of it without her expertise. The most professional person that could have organized our wedding day. Thank you so much. She also had Tatum, a day-of junior coordinator who worked so well alongside her to make it all happen. This duo was the absolute best and I recommend anyone in Phoenix to snag these two if they have the chance.

We truly had the most incredible experience with our planner, Kay. She stepped in two months out from our wedding and took over every piece of communication, coordinated everything behind the scenes, and ensured that everything was 100% ready before our wedding day. On our wedding weekend she was absolutely incredible. She was so thorough and efficient in coordinating each piece of our day. She was so patient and understanding and handled things head on as they happened. She made sure everything went perfectly to plan and our timelines were executed perfectly. She also is the sweetest human and is so easy to talk to, she makes everyone feel super comfortable. She not only coordinated our entire day but also took so many behind the scene photos for us on our wedding day which were so fun to look at the next day. She can truly do it all! We would absolutely recommend hiring Simply Elegant Group for your wedding planning!

Blair founded BW Studio after hosting a number of non-profit events and finding herself completely immersed in the process. Once she realized her knack for event organization and planning, the studio was quickly born.

Awarded Best of Zola
My husband and I will never stop recommending BW Studio Events!!!! Blair is an absolute pro! She has a fool-proof strategy for wedding planning, a wealth of wedding knowledge and connections with the highest quality vendors, and a stunning vision and ability to understand the vision of others! The peace of mind Blair's expertise and communication brought to our planning process was PRICELESS. We knew no detail would be missed, and we were confident that Blair could handle any challenge that might come our way, whether it was on the day of or during planning. Our wedding day was truly perfect, and the way the vision in my head came to life in our venue surpassed my expectations! Meanwhile, I had the most chill, beautiful morning getting ready for the wedding, and I have her assistant Elly to thank for it! She was absolutely spectacular. She was present every moment we needed her and blended into the background while sneakily helping, like steaming our dresses and setting up the gifts for my ladies without us even knowing. She was like our secret fairy godmother! And when I was getting ready to walk down the aisle and was feeling anxious, she was the most calm presence. She really helped me keep my composure. So so grateful for all she did for us! She made me feel so special :] Long story short, if you're wondering if hiring a wedding planner is worth it, I'm here to tell you THEY ARE WORTH EVERY SINGLE PENNY!!!

Whether it was finding vendors/venues and contacting them, handling paperwork, setting up calls, tours, etc., Emily put our mind at ease with it and took care of it. She's also incredibly personable and fun to talk to! By the time our wedding came, it was bittersweet because we had looked forward to our weekly calls with her! On the day of our wedding Emily was a superhero..... She helped set things up, make sure everything ran smoothly, helped tear down at the end of the night, and packed our car with decorations and things we had brought for us so we had nothing to worry about.

Hiring Bristol as our wedding coordinator was truly one of the best decisions we made during our entire planning process. From the very beginning, she was kind, organized, and brought the most calming energy - exactly what every couple needs during such a busy time. Leading up to the big day, Bristol was incredibly helpful and proactive. As someone who is very Type A, I was immediately drawn to the detailed planning documents and tools she provided. They made every step of the process feel manageable and seamless, which allowed me to actually enjoy the planning rather than feel overwhelmed by it. So many people told us before the wedding, “Something will go wrong, just go with it.” But thanks to Bristol, I can honestly say I can’t think of a single thing that went wrong. Everything went flawlessly, and the day was absolutely perfect in every way. We know that wouldn’t have been possible without her behind the scenes making it all happen. If you're looking for someone who brings professionalism, warmth, and serious organization to your wedding planning journey, Bristol is the one. We are endlessly grateful for her and couldn’t recommend her more highly!

Awarded Best of Zola
I found Alexa on the Knot and booked her for Monarch’s full wedding planning package as my husband & I were planning a wedding outside of Chicago in an unconventional venue, 9 months away, and lived in another state. It was a big challenge but from the initial consultation, we loved Alexa’s energy, organization, commitment and just knew we could trust her with our once in a lifetime event. The planning process was extremely organized, thorough and well-paced. She matched my attention to detail, tackled unplanned challenges with ferocity (which included a limited selection of vendors given the location of our venue) and was as dedicated to bringing my very specific vision to life as I was. She brought great vendor recommendations and connections and did countless hours of research on new vendors. Details were well-documented and thoroughly discussed to ensure all parties were aligned. Even though our venue was farther outside Chicago (Indiana), she ran several venue walkthroughs in-person, attended vendor visits with me, and always accommodated my husband and I’s busy schedule. As Alexa started to step away for her maternity leave (which started right before our wedding date), she did an amazing job ensuring her team was fully prepared to handle last minute preparations and day-of responsibilities. The day-of team of 3 were awesome with completely handling all details A-Z so I didn’t have to worry about anything, even despite some last minute changes due to weather! Due to the complexity of our venue, its location, short timeline, and being from out-of-state, we are SO GLAD we booked Monarch for their full planning package and had the privilege of working with Alexa! It was sincerely our pleasure to have her bring our special day to life, she was a joy to work with and get to know. If I were getting married again, I’d book her services again no question! Thank you Alexa!!

Shh Events

  • Offers 4 services

  • Serves Des Plaines, IL

Shh Events comes from all of the experiences I have gained- all of the trade secrets- that set my experience as a wedding planner to an elevated level of expertise. Shh Events is a curator for love stories, and it's an honor to be a part of the stories we tell.

For everyone who thinks they don’t need a wedding planner. You do. You do and you specifically need Stephanie. If everyone had a Stephanie, there would be no wedding disasters, no war, and no famine. Stephanie is the best. She helped us look through contracts with vendors, talked us through conversations with catering (which is how we met her), and ran our wedding day seamlessly. Stephanie really knows this business. She helped us manage our budget, she set expectations and timelines, and was super responsive with emails and questions. She also was respectful and inclusive to us with all our identities, as a gay couple and a Jewish/Italian couple. The wedding industry often assumes a lot of things but Stephanie is so kind and goes out of her way to make sure she never does. Beyond that, I think it’s important to highlight what a wedding planner does the day of. She makes sure all the tables are set up so you don’t have to. She makes sure your vendors arrive on time. She made sure our photos and our flowers were set up. I cannot emphasize enough how much you will not want to be doing your own table arrangements when you’re trying to pull off the biggest party you’ve ever thrown. She also came a few days early and picked up ALL of the items for the wedding in her mini-van. Then she packed them up at the end of the night and delivered them a few days after the wedding?? That ALONE is the best. I assumed my wife, our families, and I would be packing things up that night but she gave us a magical day where we didn’t have to worry about anything. She’s also incredibly smart and thorough and NEVER complains. We had books as our centerpieces and realized later that the idea of books was going to be HEAVY. She never told us we were nuts but she actually said she liked it because we did things that were true to us. She has more energy than anyone I’ve ever met and her and her day-of assistant, Caitlin, were the best. Seriously, Stephanie is, as my wife says, a magical human being. Don’t plan a wedding without her.

Hello Couples! Thank you for visiting my listing on Zola! My name is Chelsea, and I am the owner and operator of Finishing Touch Events here in Chicago. With 7 years of coordination and planning experience in social events, primarily weddings, I've seen a little bit of everything. I understand that, along with the excitement of getting engaged and celebrating finding your person, planning a wedding can feel overwhelming. This special event involves all your family and close friends, and it comes with its own unique challenges.

Awarded Best of Zola
I reached out to so many planners/coordinators for my wedding and so many were either slow to respond or did not respond at all. Chelsea was prompt and excited to help, despite my wedding being quite the undertaking. I did my own (faux) flowers, which meant on top of regular day-of duties, she was putting up full floral arrangements, lighting hundreds of candles, and putting together tons of other small details and finishing touches. I can't emphasize this enough - our day would not have come together in the way that it did without her. She was on top of everything and truly made my vision come to life. She was helpful in dealing with other vendors as well, and did everything with a smile on her face. When I came to her days before my wedding with a crazy new surprise, she was down to help. My husband agrees that Chelsea was worth her weight in gold - I would hire her again in a heartbeat. Thank you so much Chelsea for everything you did to make our wedding day go so smoothly.

Hi friend! I'm Pauline, and I am excited to help you have a fun, memorable and well-coordinated wedding. I left my career as a project manager at Meta to pursue my passion in event planning. Executing a wedding day brings me joy and fulfillment and I truly love being able to help couples on one of the most special days of their lives.

Awarded Best of Zola
From the moment we started planning our wedding with Here It Blooms, Pauline's clear, professional, and organized communication style put us at ease. We went with The Bud package (30 days of planning). My main concern was coordinating and communicating with vendors the last 30 days and all of the day of coordination. I am a project manager so I thought I had everything set, but she was so helpful in highlighting the little things that we had forgotten to plan or think through, such as when do we want to have our first dance and parent dances, or how much to tip each vendor. Being able to rely on someone with industry knowledge alleviated a lot my stress. The detailed timeline she created was wonderful for our vendors and I didn't have to communicate with anyone. This allowed me to fully enjoy the day. Pauline and Priscilla's detailed work and smooth set-up ensured our reception space looked beautifully curated, with a perfect blend of DIY and venue-provided elements. Pauline even stayed an extra hour to carefully disassemble all the DIY items. Additionally, they made sure my husband and I had a private moment during cocktail hour to enjoy a sample of our hors d'oeuvres and signature cocktails - a thoughtful touch that provided a much-needed breather on our busy wedding day. The reassurance and value Here It Blooms provided was truly invaluable, and I would highly recommend them to any couple planning their special day.

We were born from lessons learned by tackling the most important wedding to date; my own. A planner to my core, I never considered the need for assistance when planning and executing my wedding. And while I threw a truly great party, it came at the expense of me enjoying my own wedding. I took away from the experience the hard truth that just because I could, didn’t mean I should, and have turned that into something that I truly love; watching other couples bask in their moment, stress-free. We offer a variety of wedding and honeymoon services with the simple mission of creating beautiful, unique events that feel as good as they look.

Lisa was an absolute dream to work with. From the initial planning, to coordinating all of our vendors, and then of course the day-of timeline, flow, and impromptu problem solving. If you’re anything like me, you’ll be a nervous wreck on your wedding day. Leading up to our big day I was cool as a cucumber so I truly didn’t think I would be, but the anticipation had my anxiety at an all time high. Lisa gracefully reassured me every step of the way. She will do it all for you. She will ensure that every last, tiny detail is perfect. But perhaps even more importantly, she has the warmth of an old friend. I can’t recommend Bisoux Event Co. enough. She made our wedding day incredibly special and for that, I’m so grateful.

Over the last 3 years I've had the pleasure to plan, coordinate, and execute multiple weddings. What started as a personal hobby has transitioned into a business, and it has been a pleasure to be able to serve couples on their big day. My flat rate fee of $900 bundles all the needs of the couple from start to finish.

I have worked alongside Kylie in a few different event planning capacities, and her attention to detail and vision for flawlessly executing and coordinating celebrations is excellent! Kylie has years of experience coordinating within the realm of non-profits; including fundraising events, a yearly brunch for nurses, and volunteer appreciation dinners. In addition to this, Kylie has executed the coordination of several weddings. I would highly recommend using Kylie as your event coordinator. She will always bring the fun, energy and attention to beauty that every event deserves.

Ok, so we weren’t actual clients, but hear me out! My niece was getting married in the same venue as her wedding. Unfortunately, my niece’s wedding coordinator didn’t show up. Candice had a few quick moments while waiting for her wedding party to go inside and noticed a couple details that were off. She took a brief second to make a suggestion and fix my niece’s dress before she walked down the aisle. You can tell craft is her passion! She didn’t take any attention from her bride, in fact, I’m sure without this review the bride would have never known. However, when something is your passion you enjoy what you do and share your heart when you need to. I just wanted to say a quick THANK YOU for those few fleeting moments of assistance.

Kristin with Besher Events was our full service wedding planner for our wedding. We cannot recommend her enough. She was there from the start to go on a venue tour and helped us to envision our wedding day at our venue during that time. Kristin was prompt with responses and handled all of our vendors with professionalism. Kristin kept us on track throughout the year of planning for our wedding. Kristin is very thorough, detailed, and organized. On our wedding day, Kristin was there bright an early and began setting up the venue. She had a detailed schedule for all vendors. Our venue couldn’t have looked more beautiful due to Kristin’s eye for detail. The day ran so smooth and on time with no hiccups. We would recommend Besher Events for event. We cannot thank you enough for making our dream turn into a reality and making us so speechless with how it turned out!

Wedding planning is not for the faint of heart, and — aside from finding the right life partner, finding the right team to coordinate your perfect day is paramount. Amber and Events with Ambiance were the perfect partners for us, two creatives with a dynamic vision for our wedding. Working with Amber gave us the freedom to create our day on our own terms, as she guided us through the process, stepped in to pull us together when it became too overwhelming, and, ultimately, brilliantly brought our vision to life. From flawlessly coordinating our venue and vendors to managing any and all hiccups and day-of stress (and wardrobe changes!), Amber was consistently ready with a smile, calm reassurance, and an immeasurable wealth of knowledge. With the help of her and her assistant Chelsey, our day was so gorgeous, memorable and personalized that our guests are still raving!
