My wedding wouldn't have been the dream that it was without Suzanne

Suzanne is the ABSOLUTE BEST! Our wedding would not have been the absolute dream that it was without her. If you are looking for a wedding planner who is always going to go above and beyond for you, is well versed in the ins and outs of Chicago wedding planning, has the best vendor contacts, and is always going to be available to support you and help you through the process, look no further. My husband and I reached out to several wedding planners in the fall of 2021 and my interview with Suzanne really stood out. I felt like I was talking to a friend who was already excited about my wedding before she even had the job. We ended up booking a partial planning package and it never once felt "partial" in any way. Suzanne was always available for us no matter what was going on and she was just down right fun to plan a wedding with. I most valued her very honest point of view and the fact that I always felt she was representing my best interest when interacting with vendors. We had the privilege of working with Suzanne for eleven months while planning my wedding and now that its over I plan to keep in contact with Suzanne. I simply connect recommend her enough.

Look no further...

"The best wedding ever..." was a compliment we heard at least a dozen times - thanks to Suzanne and her team at Couture Events. Couture Events will be perfect for you if you are looking for the following:

1. Frequent meetings and an open communication policy with predictable response times.

2. A custom month-by-month plan of what you need to be focusing on with no detail left undiscussed.

3. Trusted vendor recommendations from A-Z that are within budget (even upon our private price comparisons!!) with whom Suzanne has strong relationships. We were never pushed a single vendor that wasn't exactly what we were looking for, and she wasn't afraid to negotiate on more than one occasion!

4. A day-of timeline that would make any "type-A" planner rest easy, with skillful execution that frees you and your partner from even an ounce stress.

5. An instant friend who is going to do whatever it takes to ensure you have the best day of your freakin' life.

If you want your wedding day to be everything you ever dreamed of - look no further than Couture Events.

We HIGHLY Recommend Suzanne!

We worked with Suzanne as a partial planner for over a year and she was always so responsive to our many emails, went above and beyond what was part of the partial planner contract, and was so kind and enthusiastic. We had some specific requests for our wedding and she was super helpful with making them a reality. The venue had some issues with the seating and Suzanne fixed it right away and made our families happy (we had no idea there were any issues the day of our wedding because she smoothed it over). She also made sure everything stayed on track with the schedule on our wedding day. Knowing that Suzanne was running the show and advocating for us throughout our wedding day helped put us at ease. I highly recommend hiring Suzanne from Couture Events as your wedding planner! She added so many thoughtful touches and handled family dynamics with grace. We will miss meeting with her!
