Alysson was completely amazing in coordinating my wedding. She was extremely professional,…read moreorganized, and always knew the right questions to ask. She worked so well with all my vendors, some a little more difficult then others - but you would never have guessed by the way she was able to pull everything together. When the day finally arrived and I walked into our venue, my jaw dropped. I could not believe how amazing everything looked - I had a vision in my head but Alysson really pulled everything together and it looked 100% better then anything I could have ever imagined. To give you a better picture of what she had to work with, our venue was at an art gallery, aka a blank canvas. Everything had to be brought in by separate vendors - catering, rentals, decor, lighting, alcohol, desserts, etc - which took A LOT of organizing. On top of that, I work in the creative industry and have a passion for DIY, as does my family. We had a lot of custom ideas and hand-made decorations we needed Alysson to coordinate. It was a lot of extra work, but she seemed to breeze through it all. On top of all that, Alysson was a lifesaver throughout the wedding itself. She kept us on track and anytime we needed something or couldn't find one of the vendors or had a question, Alysson was there. She took care of everything and I am so grateful to her for helping pull off such an amazing day! To top it all off, our wedding was featured by our vendors, other photographers, designers, and wedding inspiration enthusiasts including David Tutera, ColourLovers, Techy NY, HT Inspires, Francesco Mugnai, A Little Bright, Shoot from the Hip, Style Alter, and Boho to name a few. One of the features we were most excited about was Ruffled which included some great info and photography from our wedding. http://ruffledblog.com/cmyk-inspired-wedding/ Again, could not have pulled our vision off without Alysson by our side!

We could not recommend Nancy and her team at Aisle Ai enough! We knew we wanted to work with Aisle…read moreAi from our first meeting with Nancy - she was incredibly kind, professional, and transparent. During every meeting leading up to the wedding, Nancy was so organized and reassuring. She would assign us "homework," which helped keep us on task and also offer us different suggestions to make the day run seamlessly. Nancy and her team worked so much behind the scenes that, we really felt like we just showed up to our dream wedding. She really listened to our vision and helped bring it to life! On the day of the wedding, Nancy and her team were so efficient at putting everything together - they were literally everywhere at once all the time and made sure everything ran so smoothly! They took such good care of our family members, and made sure we didn't get overwhelmed either (which can sometimes be difficult with Asian families). Nancy and her team were so calm that they just kept us calm. Post-wedding, they also made sure all of our items got organized and packed away after the reception was over. Literally every little thing was accounted for, and we just got to enjoy the night and not stress about the clean-up after. We cannot thank them enough for being part of our wedding day. They are 100% worth the investment, and if we could go back to hire them again, we would! If you want to feel like a guest at your own wedding, we strongly recommend hiring Aisle Ai!

We had an incredible experience with Anna and Nancy and the Aisle Ai team. We had the wedding of…read moreour dreams because of them. Starting from the beginning, they gave us a timeline with everything we needed to do, and an awesome Google Drive Excel Document to help us stay organized. They recommended a lot of vendors, based on our preferences, many of whom they've worked with before, which made me feel confident in our choices. They do a ton of behind the scenes work communicating with vendors to make sure everything is perfect on wedding day. They also respond SO promptly (and accurately!) whenever we ask any type of questions. We were absolutely blown away by their services on wedding weekend -- they executed everything perfectly and our wedding was exactly how we'd wanted it. Everything went extremely smoothly and it is because of the Aisle Ai team. They were kind and patient with my family and bridal party, and immediately helped us with anything we needed. I had some items (card box, tea ceremony kneelers) that never came (ugh, online orders) but they brought back-ups. I'm sure they had 1000 things running through their heads but we could never tell - they were always grounded and attentive. It is also great that they know so many vendors in Chicago, so they had good communication with all of them. No matter what you want on your wedding day, they will make it happen and will help you do it in a way that flows well and makes sense for the day. I had a surprise gift for my parents and Anna suggested the perfect time to give it to them during the wedding day. We are forever grateful to Aisle Ai for helping us plan such a memorable and wonderful wedding. Also, there were NO hidden costs or fees -- they are true to their word.

I didn't even meet with any other florists. She knows how to make flowers understandable and relateable to someone like me who completely lacks artistic or creative ability. She was flexible and didn't mind meeting with us on evenings or weekends in locations that were convenient for us. She listened well and worked with us to make sure we were getting the best results for our budget. I didn't have to worry, and the flowers looked great the entire day.

Anice was more than a pleasure to work with…read more She met me downtown and was very flexible with a meeting time since I am from out of town and was only in Chicago over one weekend to do planning. She talked through her portfolio, and then we talked about my wedding, the feel I wanted to create, my colors, and then I showed her a few pictures of things that I liked that I found in magazines. She asked me what my budget was, and then she talked through some of her ideas that all fit within my budget. Fantastic! She even recommended a place where she knew we could buy the cheapest votive candles for the reception tables. She saved us a lot of money, and she did an amazing job. The bouquets, boutonierres, and centerpieces she created were beautiful and far surpassed my expectations. She did a great job and for a great price. She was also very professional, and returned emails promptly and always answered each of my questions. I can't say enough good things. For others that might be looking for a great florist for an event that is budget-minded, here is Fiddlehead's email: fiddleheadfloral@comcast.net. I'm not sure if Anice has a website or not :-)

Joni and the folks at Storybook were everything we wanted in a wedding planner and everything we…read moredidn't know we needed. Joni was professional, efficient and invested. She cared so much about making our day(s) special and that meant a lot to us. During the planning process and the day of the event she became just as much of a friend as a professional planner. Joni has the perfect combination of an eye for detail and style. You can trust she will go above and beyond. To be honest, we weren't sure if we needed a planner when we began the wedding planning process and now we don't know how wee would have pulled off a wedding without her. 10/10 recommend.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Storybook! Our goal as a couple from the beginning was…read moreto choose vendors we really hit it off with. After interviewing several wedding planners, we met Lisa. The initial meeting was when my husband found out he had mutual friends with Lisa and when we decided that it was a perfect match. Lisa is incredible at what she does while juggling many other projects. With that being said, we never felt we were a burden or she was too busy to answer any questions we had. We had SEVERAL moments where we were in over our heads and Lisa was quick to pick up the phone and help us navigate through every detail. She was able to suggest other vendors we were in search of and dining options to fit our every need. She's professional, responsive, kind, understanding and most importantly, GETS IT DONE. Erin, one of the other planners on the Storybook team was part of our Wedding Day as well and she couldn't have been more a DREAM. She was quite literally at my side for the entire day until I walked down the aisle. Let me also mention we had 6 flower girls that were running around in excitement and Erin handled the chaos with such compassion & grace. She is professional, organized, empathetic & completely ON IT. She provided me with everything I needed and had forgotten in the few remaining hours before the wedding almost instantaneously while easing my mind until the doors opened. Our wedding would not have been the same without Storybook. I honestly don't know how we would have pulled it off without these women. We had 16 people in our bridal party, 6 flower girls, 3 ring bearers, our ceremony musicians cancelled 3 days before our wedding, I had blisters the size of my toes the morning of the wedding. I could go on and on about my worries.... but it all ended up PERFECT because of Lisa and Erin. Throughout the process, I never had a doubt in my mind that it would be perfect, but I'm here to tell you that these ladies pulled it off to be more than I could have ever hoped for without a hitch. It was an absolute pleasure working with them!

Hiring Caitlin from Blush and Luxe for Day-of Coordination was by far the best money we spent for…read moreour wedding! I loved that she was able to recommend great vendors, some of which I actually booked (our florist, bakery and hair/makeup). She was also a very diligent and organized liaison, contacting all of our vendors on our behalf to make sure that everything was being executed as planned. Caitlin was always one step ahead of the game, and she even ironed out head-spinning logistics that I didn't even know we needed to plan for! From her extensive experience, she was able to foresee all potential hiccups and already knew how to prepare for EVERYTHING! I must have e-mailed her a million times the day before our wedding, freaking out about what would happen if it rains...and a million other "problems" that had only just occurred to me. Of course, Caitlin already had a contingency plan for the rain and a solution/plan for all my other concerns. Caitlin also helped set-up all our miscellaneous decor and table items that my husband and I brought from home (i.e. not provided by the florist or any other vendor). For example, our wed-libs, card box, escort card display, well-wishing wands, and our unity candle...and more. That was such a HUGE help because I'd otherwise have to rely on the venue coordinator (who was not as knowledgeable of the plan) or assign a family member or member of the bridal party, and I wanted to make sure that my friends and family didn't have to stress about those things. In the end, neither I or my friends/family had to think or stress about any details on the wedding day. we all just sat back and enjoyed the ride!
