If I could give Jordyn and her team like 800/5 stars I would. I was on the fence about hiring a coordinator, but planning a wedding in Chicago from Denver is no joke, and I decided a little help wouldn't hurt. What I got instead was A LOT of help. Jordyn was professional, kind, incredibly detail oriented, put out every single fire that came her way (usually without me even noticing), and absolute pleasure to work with. I was already feeling so happy with our decision but there were two things that really took me over the edge. In general, I was a pretty relaxed bride and had virtually no special requests except: I wanted to walk down the aisle to a very specific moment in a very specific song. Jordyn heard the song twice at our rehearsal and somehow did magic math to figure out how to space the bridesmaids so I would walk out at the perfect moment -- and it was perfect. Second: I was famished after our ceremony and hadn't told anyone, but like clockwork, the second our last picture was taken, Jordyn arrived with an entire TRAY of apps for my husband and me. Right after our first dance, she arrived with a cocktails without being asked. Not only is this lovely lady wonderful and hardworking, she's also the cutest and the funniest, and it made me feel like I had a trusted friend working the operations department on our wedding day. HIRE HER. read more

I hired Andie for Day Of and that was a mistake, I should have used her from day 1. I have a hard time turning things over and didn't know how I would do a month before when I handed over all of my venders contracts to her. I did just fine. She was such a relief and she thought of little details I never thought of. Thank you Andie for everything. read more

I am happy to recommend this company for party planning services. Laura was superb with assisting day-of coordination (which included not only the day of but weeks leading up to the event as well) for a 1st birthday party. Communication and execution were wonderful. Highly recommend! read more

I am posting this on behalf of my best friend, whose wedding I was Maid of Honor in. She tried to write a review but it was hidden since she is not a big yelper. All I have to say is that she was kind in her review, the wedding planner was no help, there was no attention or care during the whole process: "Wrap it up was recommended to me for our full wedding planning. We ended up selecting the partial planning for the rehearsal dinner and day of for our wedding in September. I have waited two months to write this review in order to reflect on the experience and not write anything too over the top. The first issue we ran into is that our original planner left the company and we were not informed. One of our other vendors informed us that she was no longer with the organization. I completely understand that employee's leave, but we should have been informed right away and ensured that there would be a transition that would be handled properly. Instead, we had to call them and learned she had left weeks before. We decided to move forward with the understanding that the transition would be smooth with a new coordinator. The first time that we meet with our new coordinator, we had to re-walk through everything that we had selected. Not a big deal, except for the fact that they did not have any of our documents so we had to resend and provide all of our information. This was a minor annoyance, but again we moved on. From there, we waited on our schedule for the rehearsal dinner and the day of. The first schedule I got was clearly a copy and paste from another bride's document which isn't a big deal, but 75% of it was wrong including my name and the date and much of the timing. I fully admit I am type A, but when the date is wrong and the timing is off (one example groom at the alter an hour before the ceremony, etc) and I am spending more time correcting it is very frustrating. A week before the wedding we still had to send her an email with over 20 edits (some where things had changed and some where people were still missing or timing/spelling was off). It was not an experience I would recommend and I ended up just providing my own timeline to most of the vendors and my bridal party. Day of was fine (with the exception of not keeping the groomsman on time...which I'm sure she couldn't completely control), but not worth the money. We may have been an outlier, or maybe we didn't go with the full planning and this is how it goes when you don't spend the top dollar, but I did not feel that I was taken care of in the least." read more

I highly recommend Laura ! She is the quintessential professional, and a pleasure to work with. read more

I have worked with Bliss and Wrap it Up in a professional setting and they were nothing short of amazing. I knew right away that despite being in the wedding industry myself, I needed help for my own wedding. YOU GUYS...look no further...you have found your planners. I had the distinct pleasure of working mostly with Ginny from Wrap It Up. Ginny is the kindest human I've ever met - seriously. She is sweet, calm, organized, enthusiastic, and she makes the entire experience feel so personal. She had everything covered. I had a 16 person bridal party not including my husband and I and Ginny didn't even flinch. She got everyone where they needed to be when they needed to be there. Each and every member of our massive party has made some type of positive comment about her in the last few days since our wedding... The overall experience working with this crew is positive from start to finish. Their studio is the cutest! It has beautiful photos from weddings they've done, it is bright and airy, and adorned with beautiful flowers and the coolest bar cart at all times! Their questionnaire is thorough without being intimidating. The vendors that interacted with Ginny all loved her. She and her assistants Emily and Paige were all so lovely the day of. They worked as a team. They were somehow everywhere without ever being in the way. Emily managed to get our 1 year old flower girl to feel comfortable and walk all the way down the aisle! Even the little one's parents were shocked! Paige made sure everything we needed to have taken to our home at the end of the night was there safe. She took special care with breakables and packed everything in such an organized fashion. I could go on forever but you guys have the info you need. WIU is perfect. They made sure our day was perfect. They are everything! If you get as lucky as me and get to work with Ginny you can rest assured knowing that things you don't even know you need are already taken care of. Thank you to this team of perfect girl bosses for making May 28 the best day of our lives! read more

I contacted Wrap It Up Parties only 2 weeks before my daughters 100 person party because I was so overwhelmed and stressed! They immediately jumped in to help and were in constant communication with me from our initial conversation and even followed up after the event! Laura is such a sweet ball of energy and a true professional! She helped execute my crazy vision into perfection! I cannot recommend enough. The host sets the tone for the party and if the host has fun then the guests are sure to have fun! Thanks again to Wrap It Up Parties!! read more

Wrap it Up Parties - Party & Event Planning Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

We live out of state and were very stressed about planning a Rehearsal Dinner for 100 people in Chicago. I contacted Laura 3-4 weeks before the event and she was a life saver. From the moment she took over, I knew everything would be perfect. Within just a few days, she met with the Venue for a site visit, sent me a photoboard with suggested centerpieces, negotiated with vendors, and sent me a complete schedule/timeline of what needed to be done and who was responsible for each task. She also answered every email I sent to her promptly...even during evenings and weekends!! VERY Highly Recommend!!!!!! read more

We were on the fence about hiring a wedding planner, but ultimately decided that a day-of coordinator was a must. After doing quite a bit of researching, we ended up hiring Wrap it Up for the week-of and it was the best decision we could have made! Jordyn Vignolo was an absolute dream to work with! After our first meeting, she jumped right in and took over all communication with our vendors, giving us more time to focus on other priorities. She was organized, detail-oriented, punctual, and thoughtful throughout the ceremony rehearsal and the wedding day. She never missed a beat and went the full day with a smile on her face. You could tell that this was her passion which made us feel confident, comfortable and worry-free all day. I can't recommend her, or Wrap it Up Parties, enough! read more

We worked with Emma at Wrap It Up and were just delighted. We met with Emma and her colleagues, Mindi and Julianna, about 3 weeks before our wedding. We had our vendors signed and most of the details organized ahead of time and were really looking for someone to be our day-of coordinator. Emma and co did a fantastic job the day of. They handled the vendors, decor, guest, gifts, and probably a lot of other details that I didn't even know about it (yes, they were that good). I highly recommend them for their month-of-wedding planning service. read more

Andie is the best! I looked into several Day of wedding planners, but it was pretty clear after getting a couple proposals that she was the most professional, knowledgeable, organized AND was going to be really fun to work with. It was important to me to work with someone that got me and my vision and that had great energy. She did not disappoint! She had great vendor recommendations, was honest when i really needed her to be, was calm and organized during planning and day of and overall exceeded my expectations. Her team (Laura and Ginny) were also amazing- jumping up and down to make our 1 year old smile for pictures, keeping us calm when the priest was late, and the list goes on, They were positive and very professional. I'd highly recommend hiring Andie and her team. read more

It is always such a pleasure to work any and all of the wedding/event planners at Wrap it Up. As a catering manager in a wedding venue, it is reassuring to know I can always count on everything being taken care of with kindness, finesse and complete professionalism. read more

We worked with Emma at Wrap It Up Parties and couldn't have been happier with her. We were planning the wedding from out of town, which brought its own unique set of complicated coordination. This required lots of additional help from someone on the ground in Chicago, and Emma took everything on and more. She was unbelievably helpful, organized, and thoughtful. Both of our families and all of our vendors loved working with her. We were covered for things we didn't even know we needed to be covered for! We cannot imagine the wedding without Emma, she was such a vital part of why the day went so perfectly. Highly, highly recommend Emma at Wrap It Up! read more

My wife and I eloped in California, but we threw a wedding party for friends and family at Two restaurant in Chicago a few weeks later. We worked with Andie at Wrap It Up and she was outstanding at planning and coordinating our event. It couldn't have gone more perfectly and we are very grateful for all the hard work and planning that Andie and Wrap It Up did for us. Much appreciated. read more
