Throughout our time with Karolina, she was very unorganized, forgetting many details that had already been discussed. We spoke to her a few times about her lack of organization, but she didn't seem to correct it. Karolina may need and assistant as she seems too busy. I wrote out all of the details so she wouldn't forget and I also provided the venue with a copy as back up. Karolina did not seem comfortable with conversing via phone so it was difficult to reach her. She sent long emails, ignoring our preference of communicating via phone due to our busy work schedule. Karolina's true lack of organization was obvious during our wedding rehearsal, as she did not know what to do. Everyone was lost because she didn't bring copies of the ceremony schedule. It was very embarrassing for our wedding party and the venue staff to keep telling us how unorganized, overwhelmed, and how much of an amateur she looked, and how rude she was to them when they asked simple questions. I explained to Karolina that she was unorganized and everyone could see it. She stormed off screaming "I am organized. I am organized", which was one of the most unprofessional and bizarre moments I have ever experienced. Karolina disappeared many times during our almost THREE hour rehearsal, leaving us to figure things out. She left without apologizing or even saying bye to me. The rehearsal put us behind 2 hours, which forced us to cancel our welcome reception for out of town guests. We had to be the mediator for some issues Karolina and our vendors had. Our makeup schedule was thrown off because Karolina lied about sending the wedding day timeline to our makeup artist. BUYER BEWARE: She will make up lies about us firing "many wedding coordinators and florist" , which is SIMPLY NOT TRUE. Not apologizing for how much stress she gave us, as SPECIFICALLY cited above, not addressing her performance, and completely making up lies, truly shows her true colors. read more

Dear Future Bride, I am happy to give you nothing but my utmost recommendation that you book Karolina and book her now! I would like to give you a balanced review in which I tell you all the good things but also mention things to be wary of, but unfortunately I cannot-- I don't have a single negative thing to say! If there is one thing in our wedding planning that was absolutely worth every penny (and more!), it was hiring Karolina on as our day-of coordinator. She is by far the most reasonably and affordably priced day-of that we've seen, and her dedication to your wedding cannot be matched (and will be apparent immediately). As far as "value for the cost"-- look no further! She is priced WAY below the "big name" (and not so "big name") coordinators, and her attention to every one of YOUR details will make you feel like you've gotten away with a steal! She never asks you anything twice-- she will know every detail of your dream and vision as well as you do! While she is a "day-of" coordinator, her work starts the moment you hire her and she communicates with you and your vendors constantly up until the moment you say "I do." Her response time via email is almost immediate, and you never have to wait more than a few hours. In fact, she often emailed me reminders and such before I even had to contact her! I don't communicate very well over the phone, so I can't comment on her availability via phone, but if she is at all as attentive by phone as she is by email, you have will have no problem! The timeline that she creates is very thorough and very helpful. She helped keep everything organized and moving throughout the wedding process. She actively communicates with all of your vendors throughout your planning and the day of your wedding, and I didn't worry about anything on my wedding day-- I knew she had it covered! She is very friendly, and her demeanor is pleasant. This is a plus when she's dealing with wedding issues, as people feel comfortable around her and do not feel like they're being yelled at. She was punctual and professional, and was always there to help with "emergencies," even if it wasn't outlined in her job description (i.e. I forgot vase marbles and she was there with a full bag!!). Overall, I highly highly recommend her as your day-of coordinator!! read more

We had a DIY wedding so we knew we needed a day of wedding coordinator & when we met with Karolina & explained all our ideas & things we needed taken care of she said NO PROBLEM. Day of the wedding Karolina ran around like mad woman but took good care of EVERYTHING we talked about. She is very organized, on time, very detail oriented, very sweet & great with communication! She is also very helpful & takes initiative to solve any problems. I cannot recommend her enough you will not regret choosing her as your wedding coordinator she is AMAZING!!!! read more

Karolina made my wedding effortless. When I met her, I had only selected a venue and was desperate for guidance. She narrowed down the vendor search to 2-3 recommendations for everything, which was a HUGE time-saver. The vendors she recommended were so unbelievably talented and professional. I was happy with every recommendation I received. She assisted in setting up meetings and jumped to my rescue when problems occurred. (For example--I had a bad first hair trial, and I couldn't get a response from the vendor to set up another trial. Karolina contacted the vendor immediately, and I got a response an hour later.) She checked in with me every month and responded to emails and texts within hours. I didn't even need my own timeline--she kept my wedding planning on track with every step. You can tell she is very experienced, and she thinks of all the details that a bride might forget. My reception was at the Adler Planetarium. I believe Karolina had never coordinated a wedding there, but she is so competent that she made me feel like I floated through the day--I had no stress, and I didn't have to think, coordinate, or plan anything the whole time. She is tasteful and made the venue look glamorous. She kept the timeline for the night on track. She only contacted me once or twice the whole night about easy things--the rest of the time she worked in the background to make the night flawless. She even thought to save snippets of my decorations and the photobooth album for me (I definitely would not have thought of that by the end of the night!) The other great thing about Karolina is that her personality is perfect for this job. During meetings she is sweet and easygoing, but she has an air of competency that lets you know she has everything in control. I was so happy to have worked with her--my wedding was perfect, and I owe so much of that to Karolina! read more

Karolina from Weddings by Karolina was our planner for our June 2011 wedding. Karolina was nothing short of amazing. We choose her middle package - where she helped us secure our remaining vendors, handled our rehearsal and did day-of coordination. Without her, the mess with our Event Manager at the DT, could really have ruined our reception. She was ALWAYS quick to respond to my emails throughout our whole planning process. She followed up with EVERY vendor to ensure everything was going as planned. She created our timeline for the day and make any changes I asked for. She was on-time and made sure that everything in her control was perfect. I don't know what we would have done without her - I know I would have been bridezilla for sure if we didn't have her! I would HIGHLY recommend her to every bride! read more

When we first started planning our wedding, I felt like having a day-of coordinator was more of a "nice-to-have" than a "necessity" - after going through the whole process, I have no clue how brides ever go without them!! Karolina was there and available throughout the whole time, but she was the most involved in the 4-6 weeks leading up to the wedding. She attended a final meeting and venue walkthrough a month prior and was a huge help both for myself and my venue coordinator. My venue's coordinator was very "by the book" - if I asked for anything out of the norm, it was kind of a fight to get it done. Karolina was a great advocate for what I wanted and making sure I was comfortable and happy with how things were turning out. She also proposed lots of ideas and questions for our coordinator, which I think was a big help to her. My uncle officiated the wedding, so I was especially nervous about the rehearsal. I really didn't want to be in the position of telling people when to go where! Karolina ran it seamlessly and again provided lots of ideas and covered things I never would have thought of (like the order of the recessional and making sure that all of the groomsmen had the same hand on top the other to make for cohesive pictures.) The day of the wedding, I didn't have to talk to one vendor. Both my husband and I really felt that we were able to enjoy the day and celebrate with friends and family - not worry about the dozens of tiny decisions and setups that make up a wedding. Can't say how grateful we are for Karolina's help making our day special and stress-free! read more

Our wedding was this past Labor Day weekend. We began working with Karolina in January. We were so impressed with her attention to detail right from the initial meeting and felt comforted to realize how much she cared about what she did. For nine months she put her heart and soul in to everything for us which truly allowed us to enjoy the process and look forward to our big day. She worked with us and all of our vendors, attended all of our vendor meetings and really helped make sure all of the pieces were in place correctly. How did the big day go you ask? Seamlessly. Karolina was there to make sure everything ran on schedule and correctly. We had no glitches but more importantly had the most beautiful wedding we could've asked for. Karolina simply cares about what she does and even more so for the couples she does it for. If you are looking for a wedding planner I highly recommend you to give her a call. We will never forget her and the huge role she played in us having the most amazing day of our lives. -The Kelly's read more

I was in the bridal party of a recent wedding "organized" by Karolina Warren. I use the word organize very loosely as she had to have been the most unorganized, unprepared and unprofessional person to ever call herself a wedding planner. From causing unnecessary stress for the bride, to missing meetings and generally being completely unreliable and unhelpful on site, I would suggest that any potential bride seriously consider using an actual professional. Karolina mismanaged the rehearsal, was unaware of basic wedding details on-site, went missing during the actual ceremony when her assistance could have been used and on top of it had a horrible attitude. I don't often write reviews but I would hate for another bride to have the same unfortunate experience. read more

I used Karolina as the Day-of Coordinator for my December 2010 wedding and I can't say enough praise for her. She took the ball and ran with it and my wedding day ran smoothly and seemlessly with no drama or phone calls for the bride to handle. Every issue or concern went directly to Karolina to handle and the only thing for me to do was enjoy the process of getting married to my wonderful husband. I can't explain what a help or calming influence Karolina was for us, and my only regret was not using her services to plan my whole wedding. read more

I've worked with Karolina before as two of my friends used her (one friend, I was a bridesmaid for), my sister (whom I was her maid of honor) and then me. So when I started planning my wedding I KNEW I was going to hire Karolina. I don't know how people would get by without a wedding planner/coordinator. Karolina was organized, prompt, and is naturally calming. Weeks leading up to the wedding, many people noticed my sense of ease. I knew that the wedding would go seamlessly because I had Karolina and she's done over a hundred weddings. There were a lot of things to do but Karolina made it fun and answered every single text and email. My parents were late for the rehearsal and she talked to them to make sure they would not be late to the wedding. I'm so glad I used Karolina and I HIGHLY recommend her. THANK YOU KAROLINA!! read more

I absolutely cannot say enough wonderful things about Karolina. She is without a doubt the reason that I made it through my wedding without having a nervous breakdown. Her organization, dedication, kindness, and professionalism completely exceeded my expectations. I don't know why anyone would plan a wedding without a DOC, much less Weddings by Karolina. Her assistant, Linda, was so friendly and did a wonderful job at our reception venue. My family all loved Karolina, as did my husband and I. I would very highly recommend Weddings by Karolina to any bride! read more

I knew I wanted a 'day-of' coordinator for our April wedding and Karolina's the only one I considered. She's friendly, organized, and on top of it all! We actually communicated several times before the wedding, and she reviewed our vendor contracts, gave us tips for the big day, and helped construct our day of timeline. She was there for our rehearsal, on our final walk through with the venue, and was invaluable on the day of our wedding! First of all, her 'emergency kit' is AMAZING! Literally has anything you could, might possibly, every need - and we used it! Second, she became invaluable as our venue wasn't ready at the time they had told us - she got all the vendors organized and called in additional help to make sure all of my DIY was set up on time and properly in less than 45min! (the venue was supposed to give us 2hrs!). THEN! our photobooth completely didn't show up! Karolina took care of it and used her personal contacts to find us a better photobooth that showed up in amazing time! Neither us or any of our guests ever had any idea things didn't go according to plan - I didn't even find out until the end of the night, she handled it all! I can honestly say I felt calm and relaxed the entire day because I knew we had an amazing point person to take care of anything, and she certainly did! I would highly recommend Karolina to everyone getting married! Whether she helps plan from the get go or takes lead on day-of only, she's worth every penny! read more

Karolina went above and beyond on my wedding day. Everything went smooth right from consultation to the rehearsal and on my actual wedding day! She is definitely worth every penny! She knew all the question to ask the venue coordinator, she is very attentive and communicated with me via email the whole entire wedding planning process. Our wedding rehearsal was well organized and when the introduction came during reception she got everyone lined up so quickly! I was so amazed by that, considering some of my wedding party had a few beverages and were all over the place. The whole wedding day and night went smoothly. I'm so glad I found her on Yelp! read more

Based on a recommendation from a friend we decided to hire Weddings by Karolina for our wedding planning. Our initial meeting is what really impressed us as Karolina knows what she is doing. She had all the answers to all the questions and had questions for us to consider. She provides checklists on a regular basis in a countdown method. She accompanied us to vendor meetings, venues, etc. She was an invaluable person that was there for us through the entire wedding process. On the day of our wedding she had an assistant, Linda, to help with any additional tasks. They both ensured that we had the most perfect day ever. Without Weddings by Karolina we are sure that we would have missed details that her keen eye pointed out to us. Her work compared to the cost, an absolute bargain. We can only give the highest marks for Karolina and the work she put into our wedding as it really showed in the end. Update 1/9/2013: Weddings by Karolina stands out among all of our wedding vendors as she followed up with us during the holidays and sent my new family a Christmas card. She definitely provides such a great service and is very personable. Almost wish we could get married again to use her. But that gives me an idea for renewing our vows but doing it all over again and using her. I think that would WOW my wife and me. From this newlywed Bride and Groom, Weddings by Karolina get 4 thumbs up!!! read more

This is the best money you will ever spend! She's great! Seriously, couldn't have done our wedding without her! I hired her for our wedding on September 20 as our day of coordinator. I wish I would have hired her as my planner. Our wedding was beautiful and she was so well organized and if there were any problems, I didn't know about them. She's patient and just really reassuring. I was so stressed and she took care of every last detail. Thanks Karolina!! You're the best! read more

Karolina was such a huge help on the day of our wedding. I don't know how we could have gotten through the day without her. She came in early and set up my (many) DIY projects, decorations, and favors exactly how I wanted them. She communicated with me and my vendors throughout the entire event to make sure everything ran smoothly. And then she cleaned up at the end of the night and made sure I left with everything I started with. Not to mention all of the help she provided leading up the wedding, in terms of planning, communicating with vendors, putting together a timeline, etc. Karolina provided advice/suggestions for things that I would have never thought of. She attended our final venue walk-through and coordinated a ceremony rehearsal for us. Karolina's prices were reasonable and she was always available to answer my questions and quick to respond to texts, calls, and emails. Karolina was recommended to me by a family member and I would absolutely recommend her to others. If your venue does not offer a coordinator and you are thinking you can have a wedding without one, RECONSIDER. You cannot take care of these little details on the day of, and you shouldn't expect your family/friends to do so either. You NEED a planner or a coordinator on the day of your wedding and Karolina is an excellent choice. read more

I've worked with Karolina several times and she is very accommodating, helpful, and will take the initiative to try and solve problems before they happen. She treats every wedding like it was her own and has a true passion for wedding planning. If your looking for one of the best in the business (in the top 10% in the country) and want someone you can trust, she's the one for you. Don't be fooled by 1 negative review when there are 100 others that are positive. Trust me, she's worth every dime. read more

Let me start off by saying that I am detail-oriented and expect the same from anyone I give my hard-earned money to. Karolina coordinated my wedding this summer. I do not live in Chicago, so I was in town infrequently. After hiring her a year before my wedding, I arranged a venue visit with her 5 weeks in advance of when I would be in town, and the day before she cancelled on me via text because she booked a wedding last-minute. That was completely unprofessional and really upset me. She did take 20% off of the final balance, but that was after she promised to be there, then cancelled again. Overall, that experience left me feeling trapped and worried about my actual wedding. All I can say is good thing I'm organized myself (though leading up to my wedding a family member was very ill, my grandmother passed away, and I had to work a ton), and that I had a great coordinator from the actual venue, because otherwise I think things would not have been salvageable. I was running my wedding rehearsal even after Karolina and I had a 2 hour meeting to go over all of these details and she had written them down. After the rehearsal, I forgot to grab a paper in a bag I had given Karolina, which I needed for the next day (makeup schedule for the wedding day). I texted her and asked her if she could bring it in and she said no, she was already at the valet. What day-of coordinator is willing to leave the bride without a makeup schedule for 12 people!? Also, she was not in the room during the wedding ceremony which is puzzling. After the ceremony, some family members (who were helping Karolina before the ceremony, so she knew them) were missing for pictures, but hey, so was Karolina, so I had no one to help me locate them. I separated the head table escort cards and my family (parents) escort cards so that Karolina could put them in the right place, and she put my mom at the wrong table. Once my mom figured out her right seat, she of course had the worst seat at her table--with her back to us. Finally, my mom was the one reminding me of the flow of the reception--we did not get a single reminder from Karolina about things we should be doing at what time, etc. during the reception. Overall, I think that Karolina was overwhelmed with the details of a 200+ person wedding. All throughout the weekend she had me stressing and worried about different details that she was missing, and that's the point of a day-of wedding coordinator. If you are not super organized and/or if you're having a large wedding, I would not recommend her. Positives: I did get all of the items I used during the ceremony back. She made good recommendations for other vendors. She brought an assistant (though she made this decision at the LAST minute...every other vendor I used knew immediately to bring an assistant for such a large wedding). PS: I think she also blocked me from Facebook so this was the only place I could leave a review. :( And I can't see on Facebook if she took any pictures of the wedding like she does for her other couples...oh well... read more

We used Karolina for our "day of coordinator" and she was great! And, the price for services couldn't be beat! She was about 1/2 the cost of some of the planners we looked into who are based out of the city and I feel like we got everything we wanted from her services! We met once for our initial consultation and decided to hire her on the spot! All of our correspondence was via e-mail which is what I preferred. She was always organized both in-person and online. She responded to e-mails so quickly, it was great! About two months prior to the wedding we touched base again and she began working on our timeline for the day. We went through about 5-6 drafts as things were changing and plans were finalizing. Karolina was great at answering any questions we had and found her to be so valuable. She attended the rehearsal at the church to make sure everything went smoothly and then I barely saw her the day of the wedding which I feel is exactly how it should be! She had an assistant the day-of who also was helpful with all of the minor details. Everything was set up beautifully at the reception venue and the day could not have been more perfect! I thank her for all of her hard work and attention to detail to make our day so special! Karolina was great!! read more

If it weren't for Karolina, my wedding day would have been a complete mess! We hired her as our day-of-coordinator. I liked how even though we hired her 10 months before our wedding, she was still available whenever we had questions. She responded to emails right away, which is a plus in my book since I was planning my wedding across the country. She is very detail-oriented and knew exactly how things were supposed to go. She was great at asking a lot of questions just so we were all on the same page. She accompanied us for venue visits, and she took all our church and reception decor out of our hands days before the wedding so she and her assistant can set up for us. Days before the wedding, I wrote out on a piece of paper how I wanted the guests' tables to look at the reception, as well as where I wanted everything to be (no pictures, which could be confusing, I would imagine)... walking into my reception I was so amazed, everything was so beautiful!! My husband and I are so glad we decided to use her services. I highly recommend hiring Karolina for your wedding services, you'll be glad you did! read more

Let me save you a lot of time. Book Weddings by Karolina ASAP while your date is still available! Having worked in the wedding industry myself, I knew that without a coordinator it can be very hard for the bride and groom (and their families!) to truly enjoy their wedding day. About six months before our wedding, I had landed the job of my dreams while finishing up graduate school. We were living in Chicago but planning a wedding in Madison, WI. I found myself with no extra time for wedding planning and immediately began interviewing coordinators. Seeing Karolina's amazing reviews led me to book a consultation. In our meeting, Karolina really listened. She understood the kind of help I was looking for and my desire to plan a "Chicago-style wedding" even though it was in Madison. Karolina has a quiet confidence and kind demeanor that I found comforting. I left our meeting and decided to book her partial-planning package to have help booking our remaining vendors in addition to help on the day. Throughout the entire planning process, Karolina was proactive, punctual, and supportive. We communicated mostly over email because of my busy schedule. She kept AMAZING notes and literally remembered every detail I ever mentioned. Each month, she would send a "to do" list and thought of all the little things I didn't have time for. In the weeks before the wedding, Karolina relayed information among all of our vendors and attended a final reception walk through in Madison. On the day of the wedding, Karolina and her assistant made sure everything was setup according to plan and ran the time line. She was always there when I needed her but directed the event in a "behind the scenes" manner (which I appreciated!) In the end, my only regret was not booking Karolina earlier! She went above and beyond our expectations. Really, my advice is that you can't afford NOT to book Karolina. With all the time and money that goes into a wedding these days, Karolina is basically an insurance policy that you will have the wedding of your dreams. read more

Karolina is completely worth her weight in gold! I was super busy with school in the several months coming up to the wedding so I knew that I would need major help in planning the wedding. Karolna was amazing as a partial-planner and day of coordinator. First and most importantly, she completely kept me on track with the planning process. Even though there were sometimes weeks when I was so busy I didn't even touch anything related to the wedding, she always sent me reminder emails for the next step. This kept me on track and kept me from getting overwhelmed. She recommended fantastic vendors who were reliable and with whom she had worked with before. And even when we wanted to pick someone new, she was so helpful and came to most vendor meetings. In the end, I ended up with an awesome team of vendors. In the weeks coming up to the wedding, she took care of all the final vendor confirmations and confirmations and alerted me of potential problems. She made a very detailed day of time line was super patient with all my last minute changes. The actual day of the wedding was very smooth. She was great as a DOC. I sent her super type A instructions for how to set up the decor before the wedding and everything was set up exactly as I wanted down to minute details like how the napkins were to be folded. If any problems happened, I didn't know about them (and still don't) because she was so on top of everything! It was amazing to just sit back and enjoy the day and know that Karolina had everything under control. I can't say enough great things about Karolina. Not sure if I could've done this wedding without her! read more

I used Karolina for our wedding in May 2012 and she was fabulous. At first I was concerned because she was soooo much less expensive than other wedding planners in the area but she was fabulous. We planned from another city and she did all of the leg work and would have done even more if I'd asked. read more

We used Karolina for our "day of coordinator". She was actually recommended through the company we used for our entertainment- MDM entertainment. I am so happy that she did because Karolina made sure none of the stress was on me and that everything was taken care of. She organized our rehearsal and made sure everything was taken care of and following, I must have given her 8 bags of stuff that she made sure got to the reception and all set up while we got married. The reception was awesome. She put together a great timeline and worked with all of our vendors the weeks leading up to ensure everything was organized and ready to go. I would hire her again in a minute and would recommend her to anyone!! Thank you so much Karolina! read more

Karolina was absolutely amazing. I used her as my day of coordinator for my wedding on 5/28 and she went above and beyond for everything. She answers emails very quickly and when I would have any questions she would ask the vendors for me. She helped set up so many decorations the day of and made sure things ran smoothly. She was always early anytime we met and was very friendly even when I was changing things on her at the last minute. I couldn't have asked for anyone better to help with my wedding. I had a hard time letting go and not controlling everything, but she made me feel better about everything. I highly recommend Karolina to anyone! read more

Honestly, I can't recommend Karolina enough. She was such a joy to work with for or Nov 2013 wedding. She was on top of everything and she was incredibly responsive to any request I sent her way. I pride myself on being on top of my game, and I am so glad I hired Karolina to handle the day-of burdens for the wedding since I could not be in two places at once (much to my chagrin). As an example of Karolina's prowess: she organized ALL the decor for the reception (I had a lot of DIY projects and she and her assistant (no extra cost to me, btw) skillfully set up everything), she had the entire wedding party (14 attendants, parents, and bride and groom) ready to go at all times, she also handled some last-minute issues with the vendor (they didn't plate a few of the desserts and my mom asked Karolina to locate them - she did, and they were out instantly!), she also helped us locate the wayward limo and handled a very difficult dress bustle. She's pretty awesome, and her rates are really reasonable considering the wedding price madness. I don't understand some of the 1 star reviews. I'm guessing there are some brides out there who literally expect magic. To future brides, do yourselves a favor and keep yourselves somewhat organized. Don't expect to hire someone just to clean up your mess. Hire Karolina to enact your vision and be clear about expectations. read more

If you're looking for a wedding planner/coordinator...look no further! Karolina from Weddings and Events by Karolina is amazing! We hired Karolina from a recommendation from our florist who had worked with her in the past and said she was THE BEST! I contacted Karolina that same day and she responded back very promptly. We met with her that week and hired her the same day for wedding day of coordination. Karolina began working with us two months before our big day contacting and taking over communication with vendors. She was always in communication with me to make sure she was aware of all details, changes, additions, etc. She helped answer a lot of questions I had about the day of and helped put my mind at ease. On the day of, Karolina was beyond amazing and went above and beyond. I was a DIY bride and had A LOT of decor to set-up. Karolina set up and cleaned up everything, managed all the vendors (including some difficult ones), helped everyone stay on the timeline, and helped make our day perfect. We could not have done it without her. Many of our guests came up to us the next day and told us how impressed they were with Karolina. I would strongly recommend Karolina to anyone who is planning a wedding and looking for a wedding planner/day of coordinator. She is prompt in her responses, professional, extremely organized, detail oriented, great time management skills and easy to get along with. Karolina truly helped make our day a success. Thank you Karolina! read more

I was on the fence about hiring a day of coordinator throughout our 12-month engagement, but now believe that hiring Karolina was the best money I spent on the entire wedding. Even though I had planned, spread-sheeted, and timelined my heart out, there were still so many things I did not think of that Karolina helped bring to my attention. Outside of the extremely helpful assistance leading up to the big day, Karolina was worth her weight in gold the day of. Despite my careful planning, things inevitably ran behind schedule, but Karolina was there to make sure everything went smoothly and was accounted for. Trust me, you don't want to be worried about tracking down your wedding presents and cards at the end of the reception or making sure grandma has the perfect seat to view speeches ahead of time. In my typical A personality fashion, I interviewed over a dozen wedding coorindators in the Chicago area, including many in person meetings. Based on my initial research, Karolina had the perfect mix of friendliness and organization at a price that you simply could not find anywhere else for that quality of service. read more
