3 Best Wedding Planners in Chicago, IL

The moment I got engaged I immediately knew I wanted Susan to be my wedding planner. She did my older sister’s wedding 10 yrs ago, and I just knew she would be the most perfect person to execute my dream wedding. From the very start, she understood our vision and brought it to life in a way that was even more magical than we imagined. Every detail, from the glamour and elegance to the timeless Old Hollywood charm, was executed flawlessly. Susan’s creativity, dedication, and meticulous planning made the entire process seamless and stress-free. We were able to fully enjoy every moment, knowing we were in the best hands. Our wedding was an absolute dream. Thank you for making our wedding day unforgettable. We are beyond grateful for you and couldn’t have asked for a more talented and wonderful planner!

As a wedding photographer, it is really important to work with a great planner so the day goes smoothly for not only the couple but all the vendors involved. I jump for joy every time I see that I am working with Big City Bride on a wedding. I have worked with Johnna multiple times and have the BEST experience. Not only does she handle every detail and pivot with grace, she is fun to work with! Couples love working with her, vendors love working with her, and the weddings always go off without a hitch. I could not recommend Johnna or the Big City Bride team more.

We had a wonderful experience working with Alex at Big City Bride! She was on top of all of the details and truly made our vision for our wedding come to life. She was able to assist us in navigating and securing vendor contracts with ease. Additionally, she was extremely helpful the day of the wedding by keeping us on track and managing all of our guests. We couldn't ask for a better wedding planner. We are so grateful and happy that we chose Big City Bride to assist in planning our wedding, which we will remember for the rest of our lives.

Suzy was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding. The decision to hire a planner was a bit of a last minute decision, but in retrospect we never could have pulled the day off stress free without her! It’s amazing all of the details that can go into planning a wedding that we never would have thought of that Suzy meticulously covered. Between creating a timeline that literally every vendor working with us needed (and we never would have known how to create) to coordinating logistical details unfamiliar to us with a large downtown hotel venue, Suzy kept the day about our experience. The day of the wedding, she and her partner left me feeling taken care of and special in a way that I will always deeply appreciate. She is truly one of the best vendor memories from my wedding day, and I appreciate having her to help keep my husband and mines focus on each other and not the planning details. I would hire her again, and again, and again.

Mary Klein from Clementine helped us coordinate our wedding starting 8 weeks before our big night! She did everything promised and more to ensure we had the smoothest wedding night possible. Her experience, patience, and ability to execute were unmatched. She helped us feel calm and prepared throughout the process and was a huge part of the success of our wedding weekend. From organizing our timeline, communicating with vendors, and choreographing our wedding day, Mary and her team were awesome!

Suzy from Clementine Custom Events was one of the absolute best things to happen to my husband and me during our wedding planning journey. By the end of our time together, Suzy felt like family. She consistently went above and beyond to make our wedding day everything we had ever dreamed of—and more.
