The Effortless Events Difference
As your dedicated Chicago event planners, our approach to day of wedding coordination begins far earlier than most services. Instead of stepping in only during the final weeks, we start supporting you as soon as your core vendors are booked. Planning a wedding in Chicago comes with unique considerations, from navigating city venue load ins to managing traffic, transportation timing, and vendor schedules across busy neighborhoods. Because we manage weddings every weekend, we know exactly where timeline gaps, communication issues, and logistical challenges tend to appear. By guiding you through these details early, we create a smoother, calmer, and more organized planning experience.
Your ten planning hours can be used at any point in the process and for anything you need, including vendor calls, timeline development, decor planning, logistics questions, or general month of support. This flexibility gives you the clarity and confidence that make wedding day management truly seamless, especially in a fast moving city like Chicago.
This early involvement is one of the biggest reasons couples choose our day of wedding coordination service. It provides the structure, guidance, and expert oversight needed for a stress free, well managed, and beautifully executed wedding day.

What does a day of wedding coordinator do
A day of wedding coordinator manages all logistics on your wedding day, including timelines, vendor communication, setup, and problem solving. With our day of wedding coordination, Chicago couples can trust that every detail will run smoothly so you can relax and fully enjoy your celebration.
How is your day of coordination different from other planners
We are the only planners who begin working with you as soon as you have a solid vendor team booked. Most coordinators wait until 4–6 weeks before the wedding, but we believe early involvement prevents stress, timeline issues, and last‑minute surprises. You also get 10 flexible planning hours you can use anytime.
When do we start working together
Immediately. As soon as you book and have your key vendors secured, we begin reviewing your plans, identifying gaps, and helping you build a strong foundation for your wedding day. Early involvement is a core part of our professional wedding coordination approach, ensuring everything is organized long before the final weeks.
Can I use my 10 planning hours however I want
Yes. Your ten hours are completely flexible. You can use them for vendor calls, timeline creation, décor planning, logistics questions, or any other area where you need support. These hours are designed to give you clarity, confidence, and expert guidance exactly when you need it most.
Do you attend the rehearsal
Yes. We coordinate a one‑hour rehearsal to ensure your bridal party feels confident and prepared, which is a key element of our comprehensive wedding coordination.
How many wedding coordinators will be at my wedding
You will have two experienced wedding planners onsite for ten hours, ensuring full coverage and a seamless, well‑managed wedding day from start to finish.
Do you handle setup and teardown
We’re happy to set up and strike all personal items, including small signage, photos, guest book pieces, card boxes, and other meaningful details. Candles, floral, and additional décor are not included in our setup services.
Do you communicate with vendors
Absolutely. We review contracts, send confirmation emails, manage all vendor communication, and serve as the primary point of contact on your wedding day. To keep every detail aligned, we also send our comprehensive day of document to all vendors seven to ten days before your wedding, confirm receipt, and verify the most accurate day of contact information. This ensures a seamless and well coordinated celebration from start to finish.
Is this the same as month‑of coordination
Yes, but with earlier involvement and more support than traditional month‑of packages. You get the best of both worlds: early guidance and full wedding day management backed by our wedding coordination expertise.
