Chicagoland Wedding Planner
A true wedding coordinator works with you on a personal level so on the day of your wedding she is the 'central brain' for all portions of the wedding day. Your wedding coordinator will know how all the pieces fit together, your preferences, like and dislikes, will be a liaison between you and your vendors, and will keep timelines for events of the day, from the ceremony to the reception. There is a huge difference between a professionally coordinated wedding day and a day left up to chance!
