Best Wedding Planner in Chicago!

If you are thinking of hiring Danielle or one of her associates at Ohana Events the answer is YES! DO IT!

I am 100% confident that our wedding would not have been the wedding it was without Danielle. First of all, she is a very kind and supportive person. She understands how stressful wedding planning can be and she supports you through it all. She has wonderful connections within the industry to make sure you are working with vendors that fit your style and your budget. Danielle is so organized and keeps you organized as well. She is so responsive, you can email her or text her a literally any hour and she will get back to you within 24 hours and if its a "planning emergency" she will be calling you ASAP. She really makes planning a wedding an enjoyable experience. Danielle will not only flawlessly plan your wedding but she will make sure that your wedding day is absolutely a dream. There were very few issues on our wedding day because during the planning process Danielle had thought of it all, but I did have an issue with my flowers. They weren't as I envisioned them. I didnt even say a word to Danielle, but she saw the look on my face and knew I wasnt thrilled and she called the florist, had the bouquets re-created and she did it all without me ever even knowing!! She really is the total package. Danielle also coordinates everything with your family and bridal party on day of, so all you have to do is be excited about your wedding day!!! If you are looking for a planner for full planning or day of or even month of she is your girl!!

Ohana is the BEST!!

Five stars!!! I booked Ohana Events for a Day Of Coordinator custom package. I was lucky enough to work with Rachel, and it was such a phenomenal experience!!!

It may be stressful trying to pick a planner or coordinator (at least it was for me), but Ohana is seriously legit. You are absolutely in great hands with their team. I had actually booked with a different company originally, but a bad review from a bride I knew made me reconsider. I decided to work with Ohana instead and I'm so glad I did. As they say, you get what you pay for... and your coordinator budget is NOT the place to be penny pinching.

Rachel was so incredible to work with, from the very first email all the way up to the end of our wedding. She was so organized, encouraging, and professional throughout the entire 3 months leading up to our big day. I was so so so happy to have her on my team. It rained all day on my wedding day and Rachel kept everything together seamlessly, even as our preplanned schedule went right out the window. She made our whole day run so smoothly. I truly didn't have to lift a finger, which was such a relief after months of planning. My whole family and wedding party loved her too!!

Ohana Events provides such amazing resources and checklists to keep you on track. I was amazed at how much support I received, even with just a Day Of Coordinator package. I can imagine their full and partial planning services are even more impressive!!

Ohana is a NEED!

Hiring Ohana and working with Sonya was easily the best decision we made while wedding planning. I was hesitant to hire an outside coordinator because we had a venue coordinator, but the venue coordinator does not do nearly the amount that Ohana does. Hiring Ohana is a NEED. I was first introduced to Danielle and we instantly connected. I felt she understood my vision and wanted to help create our dream wedding. We were lucky enough to be assigned to Sonya for the 90-day coordination package and she was the kindest, most patient, and organized planner. She responded quickly to emails and answered all of my questions, she took over communication with vendors and relieved much of the planning stress, she provided detailed checklists and kept me on track. She also created a detailed by the minute itinerary for the entire weekend for us, our vendors, and a shorthand version for our bridal party which was extremely helpful. Our wedding day was seamless with no hiccups and I can honestly thank Sonya for that. She made sure to keep the day moving on schedule, communicated with all of the vendors, and made sure to check in with me often. Even wedding guests and our parents gave raving reviews for Sonya. My husband and I agree that hiring Ohana and being able to work with Sonya was the best investment we would do all over again, and we recommend them to everyone. I wish I had hired Sonya sooner! Best wedding coordinator of all time. It is true, Ohana means family, and that is exactly how the team treats you.
