We can't say enough wonderful things about Something Profound Weddings - Rebecca brought such calm, thoughtful, and detailed energy to every step of the process and helped us create the most intimate, seamless, and joy-filled restaurant wedding in Chicago. The day flowed effortlessly thanks to Rebecca and Lizzie's incredible organization and communication. We were able to be fully present and just enjoy ourselves. Everything ran like a dream. We went with a coordination package that included unlimited planning meetings, and used these sessions to consult Rebecca and her unlimited knowledge and expertise to plan the right day for us. Invaluable stuff! Hire SPW! read more

My partner and I had a particular, personal vision for our wedding -- but were daunted by the amount of coordination and planning to make it a reality. Rebecca was able to understand that vision, coach and gently guide us through getting everything lined up and in order -- using a software task list and being gracious when I deviated. Rebecca re-assured us that we were on track, it was our first time doing this and it was nice to hear from a pro that we didn't need to worry leading up to the event. Rebecca and Noah truly shined the day of, a wedding is an overwhelming experience, filled with lots of intense emotions. They were able to keep the whole ceremony and reception running smoothly and seamlessly. We never, ever worried about a single thing and were able to be fully present, enjoying what may be the only time all our families are together. We are immensely grateful to Rebecca and her team, and would highly recommend her to any other couple out there considering a wedding coordinator. You pour so much energy and thought leading up to the day, it's truly important to have a competent coordinator that can make sure you're able to bring your whole self to the event the day of. Thank you once again, Rebecca read more

Hiring Rebecca was the best decision I made in the whole wedding process (besides, you know, deciding to marry my now husband). We hired Rebecca for several services: she was our wedding coordinator, officiant, and sourced a couple of our vendors. In everything we hired her to do, she absolutely crushed it. As an officiant, Rebecca guided us through a ceremony that celebrated our religious and cultural traditions. She never pushed anything on us, but offered options of what our ceremony could look like and crafted a custom ceremony based on what resonated with us as a couple. As a coordinator, Rebecca was the MVP of our wedding. We started working with her several months prior to source a few vendors, and her recommendations were fantastic. She was an excellent partner during the planning process, making herself available for regular check ins and providing detailed timelines and checklists to ensure we stayed on track. No matter what question I had, Rebecca was a great resource to making sure I had the right information to make a decision. She was professional with our other vendors and provided clear direction and timelines so our day ran smoothly. Another thing I loved about Rebecca was that she tailored her communication style to fit my preferences -- I was a type A bride and craved lots of updates and she worked hard to make sure I felt I had what I needed. On the day of our wedding, Rebecca was a STAR. Seriously she was the reason I was able to relax and enjoy my wedding. She made sure the whole day ran smoothly and everyone knew where they were supposed to be. She was prepared for ANYTHING that came up and worked diligently to make sure our wedding day vision came to life. I am so thankful I hired Rebecca. If you are thinking of hiring a coordinator, HIRE REBECCA!! read more

The BEST decision we made when planning our wedding was hiring Rebecca of RMP. I don't want to get cheesy or dramatic here, but I tear up when I think about how amazing she made our day and the weeks leading up to it. If you read nothing else from this review, read this: HIRE REBECCA. My husband and I did a more-or-less DIY wedding and made efforts to keep costs low for our daytime, all-in-one venue brunch wedding. However, in the month before the wedding, we realized how difficult it was going to be to execute our ideas with just the catering team and ourselves. With less than a month left before our wedding, we began contacting day-of coordinators and spoke with a few in email and phone before deciding that Rebecca was 'the one.' She was by far the most professional and prepared one we spoke to, with a proposal of how she would be able to join the team so late and make it happen. In the weeks leading up to the wedding, Rebecca solved so many problems we didn't even know we had. Turns out, you should really read those contracts! She went to bat for us on a few things that we had in contracts with vendors when they tried to change things. There were several problems that we didn't know we had simply because wedding planning isn't our full time job. The week before the date, she offered to relieve us of the vendor communication so we could (try to) relax and enjoy the days leading up to the event--I couldn't have thanked her more for that. It was non-stop wedding for so long that detaching right at the end was exactly what I needed. Rebecca used a wedding planning website for all communication, which made it so easy to track where we were in the planning process, coordinate with the vendors, design layouts, make lists for things like specific pictures we wanted to photographer to get, etc. She was so organized! The day of the wedding, Rebecca was our everything. She decorated our tables, arranged the ceremony materials, coordinated with all the vendors, and directed guests, and us, through the whole event. Things you don't think about, like where you go after you exit the ceremony or when to tell the DJ that we're ready to enter the reception--she thought of it and directed us and worked with the whole team. Rebecca did it all seamlessly. If there were problems, I didn't know about them. She made sure that we just enjoyed the day without a concern. I wish we had had the foresight to hire her from the start because the month leading up to the event would have been so much less stressful--she would have seen these problems and solved them many months before. But, if you are reading this last minute, get her for day-of coordination! She does so much more than just day-of work. If you are reading this months out, hire her. Seriously. Just stop reading the countless pages of reviews for all these other planners. Hire Rebecca. read more

Rebecca was amazing to work with. First, she had tons of tips/tricks leading up to our wedding to help put us at ease. Then she wrote a beautiful, personal ceremony for us that received countless compliments from our guests. Would definitely recommend! read more

Rebecca is incredible, hands down an exceptional person, and fantastic to work with. If you have any opportunity to work with Rebecca I highly recommend to do so! Rebecca has made the whole wedding planning process such an enjoyable & memorable experience and without Rebecca's help, we would not have had such an amazing wedding day. Rebecca is the utmost professional, able to handle anything we could throw at her with her wealth of experience, her access/network to some of the best wedding vendors and simply her huge amount of knowledge about anything in the wedding industry. She was paramount in assisting us with navigating the selection of certain vendors, helping us with the event planning and logistics side, and outlining the steps needed to be properly married. We worked with Rebecca in preparation for our marriage in May 2023 where she served both as our wedding planner, day of coordinator, and officiant. In all three capacities she has gone above and beyond our level of expectations and has delivered to us one unforgettable wedding weekend that our closest friends, and family cannot stop raving about. As an officiant, over the course of a couple months Rebecca got to know us quite well as a couple and was able to craft a highly personalized and tailored wedding ceremony that intertwined many of the details she came to learn about our relationship including how we met, some of our anecdotes, having our personalities come across the ceremony, and the values and hopes we want to achieve in this marriage. It means the world that she was able to effectively craft a narrative but also deliver an eloquently, emotionally charged ceremony, in which guests could not stop saying how well structured and crafted it was but also how beautiful and thoughtful it was. As a day of coordinator and as our planner, all the logistics in the lead up and for the marriage day including our preparation for the wedding day, transportation & lodging, photography and videography covering us throughout our offsite and on-site photo locations, coordination of all the vendors for catering and décor and taking us to the finish line insuring cocktail hour, and dinner service all operated so smoothly without a hitch. Throughout the planning process, Rebecca always listened to any of our ideas or concerns, and was able to provided us sound reasoning and recommendations, while addressing our thoughts. She was always on top of everything, exceptionally organized and always keeping track of us making sure we were completing all the various wedding planning tasks needed. Working with her was so easy as she was so respectful, thoughtful, and kind to us. It is bittersweet as I will miss working with her and she simply did such an amazing job I wanted her to come celebrate with us on the dance floor, but she delivered a home-run wedding and one I know we will never forget. Rebecca if you read this you are the best!! Please book SPW & Rebecca because I cannot sing her praises and recommend her highly enough! read more

Rebecca is an absolute rockstar. We ended up working with her for nearly three years thanks to postponing our wedding once due to COVID, and I can honestly say I'll miss having an excuse to chat with her. I deeply appreciated that Rebecca didn't have a singular vision of what a wedding "should" look like. Whenever we asked for what we should do for xyz tradition, she usually started her answer with "Well, you can really do whatever you want." As a type-A bride with a vision who didn't really enjoy wedding planning, Rebecca was the perfect planning partner. She never pushed for a particular result, but she researched options, provided pro/con lists, and helped us remember our priorities. I was particularly impressed with the timelines she started making in the last couple weeks before our wedding day - it was so reassuring to know that I didn't have to keep track of what everyone was supposed to be doing or even where I needed to be. All that to say - if you're thinking of hiring a planner or coordinator, read more

Rebecca is an incredible planner and coordinator, I would wholeheartedly recommend her and her team to help you make your wedding day as stress-free as possible. We brought Rebecca on as a coordinator and she was invaluable for helping us tie up loose ends (there were many!) and get the whole vendor team ready for a smooth event. We did a few non-traditional things, had various family and friends helping, and the event was in a venue Rebecca was new to -- and she pulled everything off seamlessly! Or, at least that was my experience as the bride, which says a lot! You will not regret one penny spent on Rebecca's kind, attentive, and amazingly organized planning/coordinating. read more

My husband and I had a terrific experience working with Rebecca as our wedding officiant. She took the time to get to know us and craft a ceremony that was personal, thoughtful and true to us. Throughout the process, Rebecca was organized, calm and helpful. So many of our guests commented on the ceremony and how touching it was. We would highly recommend working with Rebecca! read more

We used Rebecca as a partial coordinator (90 days leading up to the wedding), and it was the best decision we made throughout the planning process. Rebecca went above and beyond from the first day we booked her. She had helpful and interactive tools that helped streamline the process and ensured we knew exactly what needed to be completed along the way and when. For vendor-related items we didn't need to be involved in, Rebecca handled them like the pro she is; we never once needed to jump in and were told by our vendors that she was great to work with. We were very detail-oriented and had concerns about many smaller items. Rebecca ensured these were not overlooked and was very helpful in suggesting possible solutions, reaching out to our vendors as needed, and keeping us calm. Rebecca helped map out every minute of the big day and ensured everyone involved was on the same page, including all 13 separate vendors we were working with. A handful of these vendors told us that her tools and communication were unlike any other coordinators they've worked with before, which helped ensure that everything went off without a hitch. On the day of, she was amazing - helping us get off to pictures on time with everything we needed, ensuring everything was set-up perfectly, checking in with us throughout the day to make sure we had everything we needed, and was just on top of everything for us. It allowed us, and our families, to relax. On top of everything else, at the end of the night, there were a couple minor items that were left behind at the venue that many people would've probably ignored/disposed of that Rebecca went out of her way to bring to our hotel, showing how much she really cares about every little thing being perfect! We highly recommend working with Rebecca! read more

My wife and I hired Rebecca as our officiant for our recent wedding on July 3rd. We would give her 6 stars if we could. She went WAY above and beyond what we expected in all aspects. She was always quick to respond, super organized, and is also a wonderful person. We would not have been able to get married without her advice and help. Very thankful we hired her. read more

We hired Rebecca as our officiant for our wedding and honestly wish we would have hired her to be our planner/coordinator as well instead of the other company we went with. She was so incredible to work with and did such an amazing job on our ceremony script. It was better than we ever could have imagined and had several guests compliment on it as well. Highly recommend RMP Chicago Events! read more

This review is LONG overdue. My wife and I had Rebecca plan not 1, but 2 of our weddings. We did the legal quick elopement during 2020 due to covid with a close group, as well as the big celebration the year later. Throughout the process of both of these weddings Rebecca was incredibly helpful, so much so that the only real advice I give to anyone getting married is to GET A WEDDING PLANNER! I know I certainly appreciated all the effort Rebecca put in to planning our weddings and I know my wife did even more. She does awesome work coordinating with all of the vendors, important people, and making sure everything goes smoothly. Aside from doing all of the usual stuff you might expect from a wedding planner, with her expertise she does things you would not think of or otherwise be able to do on your own. One instance of this was when she helped us negotiate our food and drink minimum down due to covid and saved us THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS. Rebecca 100% does amazing work throughout the planning process, day of coordinating, and goes way above and beyond making sure everything is perfect down to the smallest detail. I promise you will not regret hiring her to help you plan your wedding. read more
