My husband and I highly recommend LK Events. Carolyn F. was our wedding planner and she is…read morephenomenal. She was perfect for our wedding at Chicago Illuminating Company. Carolyn is detail-oriented, patient and smart. Our wedding had a lot of customization and details that required a planner that was highly organized. Wedding planning for an engaged couple is practically a second job in itself, but Carolyn made sure that planning was seamless and stress-free. Every single phone call, email, and meeting was managed efficiently and with ease. She is also very mindful of your stylistic needs while remaining within your budget. There will be no surprises when it comes down to your final numbers, as Carolyn clearly lists out your costs, using excel sheets comparing different vendor quotes, for you to consider. Furthermore, she even highlights these differences in a quick summary email to make the price analysis more efficient for you. One very important factor of our wedding was the food and stylistic presentation. I wanted mini beverage pairings with mini lobster rolls, mini gyros, etc. Carolyn handled our requests seamlessly with our caterer and every single idea was executed flawlessly, and deliciously. To show you even further, how Carolyn doesn't miss ANY detail, the day before the wedding, I asked Carolyn to place custom blankets on my seat and my husband's seat as a surprise to my husband. The blankets had quotes we say to each other. Low and behold, they were sitting nicely on both of our chairs. There are many planners, but not every planner can catch every single detail. Carolyn truly does not miss a thing and you will have nothing to worry about! I cannot recommend her enough!

Tiffany and the Redberri Events team is the absolute best! I want you to understand how sincere I…read moream with that statement. I hardly ever write reviews, but felt compelled to share my story. I hired Tiffany as my wedding planner for my upcoming destination. Although my future husband and I are not getting married until February 2020, I have already seen the hard work that she puts into weddings. In this short time that we have been engaged, she has managed to help me locate a resort, wedding venue, provided several photographers for me to choose from, and has located a videographer. For all of these potential vendors she has secured their pricing and/or contracts and has been the main contact person with them. Essentially, I've had to do nothing. So far, this planning process has been easy breezy. But let's talk about my engagement party. My future hubby and I planned an engagement party in order for our families to officially meet. The party was everything!!!! Although not required, Tiffany managed to come to the party. Not only did she come, but she couldn't help but to make sure everything was in place and executed perfectly. This shows her dedication to her brides. In no way was she required to come to the party, but not only did she come, she made sure that I stayed stress free. Tiffany's level of professionalism is unprecedented. She makes her brides a priority and her ultimate goal is to execute beautiful weddings while keeping the couple happy and stress free. So far, she and her team have accomplished this beyond my expectations. I am so thankful to have her as my planner and am looking forward to this entire planning process.

I used JD and her team for day of coordination for my wedding a few years ago, and they were…read moreincredible! The team went above and beyond by even helping me negotiate with certain vendors and providing guidance on elements I may want for the wedding that my parents or I hadn't considered. She was very responsive and always made herself available, and on the day of, I didn't have to worry about anything because the team was well prepared. I'd highly recommend JD Eventz for wedding planning services - it was definitely worth the money for the peace of mind!

This review is about JD Eventz, where Ms Jankhana is the event planner/coordinator. I hired her to…read morebe a coordinator for wedding. First meeting I found her smart, organized and to the point. Don't go by that. She is a good talker. Just as the names initial, JD should stand for Just Dont hire. This company should not be in this business at all, unless you are ready to do 90 -95%% of the work yourself. Very irresponsible. You do everything. She or her team will appear may be an hour before the event and run around showing off as if they are managing everything. They barely got in touch with vendors and if they did it was at last minute and that too not with everyone. One of the vendors when we told him about who our coordinator is actually told us not to rely on her as she does everything last minute. Wish we took that vendor seriously. From our Sangeet arrangements to the day of baraat, they reached may be an hour before the event. The venue event manager did everything. Baraat day they never got in touch with the venue ahead of religious ceremony to see where bride is going to be waiting (the photographer reached with bride before them an hour early and figured out with people there) or the parking is open or not where the baraat will start. They had no clue. They just appear like rainbows and run around. The day of reception they did some work after much pursuing. They helped with gifts and labeling of a few dishes. Again did not check the seating, my husband checked and found that a couple of tables required extra chairs. JD and her team left early and we did final wind up. Please feel free to message if you have questions. These are few examples of their irresponsible, and no accountability, behavior. We would have been better off hiring two high school kids and explaining them what we need and paying them. If we were not on top off everything our event would have been a disaster. They should not be in this business at all. They are very capable of messing up anyone's once in a lifetime event if you are depending on them.

This review is long overdue, but necessary to note how amazing Lindsay is!…read more Lindsay Green was the single best wedding vendor we hired for our wedding weekend. From the moment I met with Lindsay, I felt like she was the "one"! She knew her stuff and went above and beyond. Lindsay brought a special expertise to our wedding planning, with fun new ideas we could bring to life on our big day, being super detail oriented, and with her connections to other wedding vendors in the city. She took all stress off of us the week of, and made our wedding day absolutely perfect. From the morning getting ready with my bridesmaids, to the evening at the venue, it was such a delight to be around Lindsay and hang out with her. She is so nice and friendly and was the perfect person to be next to you on your biggest day. She took care of so many things behind the scenes and I'll forever be grateful! Above all, it's clear Lindsay cares so much about making you happy and about making wedding day the couple's best day ever - she left us a beautiful note in our hotel room and boxed up deserts from our wedding that we didn't even get to eat for when we came back. She cares that much. We can not recommend Lindsay enough!

Lindsay went above and beyond, not only did she ensure that our wedding was executed to perfection, but she also went out of her way to make it as stress-free as possible for both us and for our parents. For instance, she coordinated for our dog to meet us during photos after the ceremony. She also completely fixed issues caused by other vendors - incorrect floral deliveries and mixed up late night food - and we had absolutely no idea that these things happened until a few days after the wedding. She also had tons of creative ideas to add - for example, she helped think up and coordinate a grand exit photo that is our favorite shot from the wedding. Several of my bridesmaids who recently got married couldn't stop talking about how great she was and how they wished they had used her. Overall we had the best day and our guests had so many positive things to say, we are so grateful for her help.

My husband and I hired Barb for full service coordination and planning shortly after we got engaged…read moreand it was, hands-down, the best decision I made regarding my wedding. Originally, we were shopping for a day-of coordinator only. I was receiving ridiculously expensive quotes from coordinators. Then, I had one of those beams-of-sunny-heaven-with-angels-singing-in-falsetto moments, when I came across Just Ducky Events. It was so reasonably priced, that we opted for full-service coordination. Our experience was remarkable. Barb went above and beyond what was listed in her contract. She attended a wedding tradeshow with me to brainstorm ideas, met with my vendors, pushed and haggled for better prices, and had incredible aesthetic sense. She was most helpful with her consistency. My now-husband and I have a pretty busy schedule and she didn't hesitate to remind me of what needs to get done by what date, which was exactly what I needed. She had no problem playing "bad-cop". I had a little trouble with my photographer at first, and Barb was more than willing to get in touch with her and resolve my issue. Also, the day before my wedding, I called Barb in near-tears because my officiant (a stubborn family member) was changing the ceremony without my approval. I bugged her in the middle of dinner and she made time to talk to me. She listened to me rant and allowed me to have a bridezilla moment, but then offered some incredible advice on how to proceed dealing with this person. There were other hiccups throughout my wedding but Barb had them under control before I even found out about them. I had my dream wedding and it was largely thanks to Barb Duckworth. I could not have asked for a better planner & coordinator.

I must say that I am so grateful that this other bride left her review for me to read. Barb absolutely made my wedding everything I could have dreamed of. I am a very detailed / organized person, so I had a specific vision of what my wedding would look like. Along with that were countless details that I made or had made to help make our wedding more personal. Barb really took charge and made sure all of my details were noticed. Not only did Barb help to make my wedding look beautiful, but she also helped to create our timeline of events and ensured that we kept on schedule. She made sure that all of our vendors were paid and tipped and went back to our hotel to retrieve forgotten keys so that she could help to pack up our car after the wedding reception ended. I was thinking about the saying, "She went the extra mile", but in this case Barb went the extra marathon worth of miles. I would recommend her to anyone getting married. We loved her and our wedding wouldn't have been the same without her. Hire her, you won't be disappointed!
