She had a creative and energetic vibe and we instantly felt like she understood our vision and would help bring it to life. She really delivered - and was a pleasure to work with. Having her made all the difference in knowing that our event would run smoothly. It did of course, thanks to her, but along the way she provided so many great resources and suggestions, emotional support, and even items for the event (like table number holders). She's just a great, warm person who is fantastic at her job and cares about making your event special. She's an excellent day of planner, but she was so much more for us - helping us every step of the way. I can't recommend her highly enough!

All the details were in place, everything ran so smoothly and not only did we have the time of our lives, all of our guests did too. They specialize in Indian, Indian Fusion but can plan any type of wedding. They have a very diverse portfolio of clients and will even let you check out a wedding to see if you like their style. I am telling you they will make your wedding day the most amazing day of your life. Email them at shevents@gmail.com and ask for Sabrina or Nisar.

My husband is Scottish-American and I am Indian and we were looking for wedding planners who could…read morehandle the culture-clash and create a nice fusion of the two cultures. Sabrina and Nisar did an AMAZING job and we couldn't have been happier with our wedding. We mainly worked with Nisar and we are so grateful for the work that he did. I am more wishy-washy than most brides and Nisar was supportive and helpful in creating a vision for our wedding that made me, my husband, and our families happy. We had bagpipes, an Indian priest, a Christian reverend, a pianist, a funky DJ, and more at our wedding and Nisar was able to put everything together in a cohesive manner. He was always reachable and communicated well with all participants in the wedding. Other than that, he is just a pleasant and lovable person to work with. He is now an honorary member of the Mehta family, in fact. Sabrina played more of a role at the beginning and end of the wedding planning process and did a great job at organizing all of the little details on the actual wedding day. My husband, our families, and I didn't have to think about logistics at all. As a great example of how Nisar and Sabrina can pull anything off, our Indian priest went ONE HOUR over the time he was supposed to. This was not anyone's fault; the priest clearly knew he was supposed to go for 30 min. for months before the wedding. He just decided to do his own thing the day of the wedding. Nisar and Sabrina adjusted beautifully, to the point that no one knew that this happened. The pianist, bagpiper, photographers, videographers, DJ, decorators, and everyone agreed to shift their schedules because Nisar and Sabrina have such a good relationship with them. For something that could have been a terrible disaster, my husband and I sometimes forget that happened because Nisar and Sabrina dealt with the situation so well.

Our company was lucky enough to work with Erica at Rica Chica this past weekend. One day after the…read morewedding, we started hearing great things about the event. Our DJs sent specific emails to our studio the day after the event to tell us how well everything went. This is the measure of a great planner. Erica was extremely responsive, very friendly, and engage in the outcome of the event in a way that we do not see all the time. We work with planners all over the Chicago area so we know how much a good wedding planner can mean to an event. Erica is not just a good planner, but a great one. She was a pleasure to work with, and if we are lucky, we will be working with her again!

I have worked with Erica, the owner of RicaChica, for multiple events and am always impressed by…read moreher creativity, attention to detail, and flexible pricing and packages. Erica truly has a passion for event planning, especially events related to weddings. She is very well connected in the "event production" world, in the Chicagoland area, and can thus, speak of and recommend all types of vendors on the spot. I am currently having her help me over the next year with my wedding, but have used her for "start to finish" help on other events as well. However, if you only need a helping hand, she has been great for "day of" assistance. She does fabulous, one-of-a-kind invitations, too. She can provide in depth, well-informed advice every step of the way. We have met in person to coordinate events, and have also done all coordination through email and phone conversations. She promptly replies to emails and provides very detailed "to do" lists to help manage planning. Give her a call!!

My sister had worked with Misha for her wedding a few years ago, and she was the first person we called when starting to plan my own. Misha is incredibly organized and makes sure that the many loose ends in the planning process come together. She also knows everyone in the industry, and was able to make recommendations for any type of vendor (photo, video, transportation, you name it). Most importantly, Misha is simply a joy to work with - she takes time to understand what's important to you and your family, and her number 1 goal is to make your wedding day fun, special, and totally stress free. I can't recommend Nouvelle Events enough!

Words cannot express how thankful I am for finding Patty at Fairy Godmothers Inc! Patty is…read moreabsolutely wonderful and so incredibly talented. I didn't have much of a floral vision, so I needed all the help I could get. After meeting with Patty and discussing different ideas, she asked if we had a theme for our wedding. At the time, we also didn't have much of a theme, other than wanting to highlight the city of Chicago through the skyline. So, I showed Patty our wedding invitation and she immediately had an idea for our centerpieces. She showed me a large clear vase (and floating candle) with a cut-out of the skyline that wrapped around the vase and I immediately fell in love with the idea! She then added flowers and greenery around the vase to complete the look. It was the perfect look for our big day, and the centerpieces looked so amazing at our venue! On the day of the wedding, Patty arrived on time with the bouquets, boutonnieres, and corsages. All the flowers looked so fresh and elegant. I could not have asked for a more perfect look! She also added a small charm to my bouquet in memory of my grandmother and it was beautiful. Patty even stopped by our church to ensure everything was perfect, even though this was not a part of our contract. She truly went above and beyond and I am forever thankful for talent and kindness. Patty also offers other services such as day of coordination, and other wedding details. Although I didn't need to use those services, I am sure she is as exceptional with those services as she is with the florals. Patty is a true gem. She is kind, knowledgeable, creative, and passionate about helping to make your wedding day truly the best day of your life. Thank you Patty!!!

Patty truly is a fairy godmother. She just handled my wedding this past weekend and of all of the…read moreelements of my wedding, the flowers and decor was the star of the show. I was having a smaller wedding and honestly, my goal was to spend as little money as possible on flowers because I didn't feel like they would make much of a difference in a wedding as small as mine. Patty set me straight and showed me how much these things can make a difference especially in a wedding like mine. I spent more than I had originally intended, but I will tell you that the end result was worth every penny. Patty had some great ideas and is extremely creative. I met with her to plan everything and gave her some basic ideas such as colors and themes and she turned that into the most beautiful wedding I could ever imagine. So many of our guests complimented us on the decor and flowers and we gave away the centerpieces because we hated to see them go to waste. Everything was just perfect the day of too. I had to worry about nothing and all of the other vendors commented on how great she was to work with. I would definitely recommend Patty and use her again. She was a pleasure to work with and she is not only florist, but really an event designer who will make yours shine. One note is that they do not take credit cards, but they were very flexible with payment scheduling.
