Great Day-of Coordinator

We couldn't have done it without Hannalori! She was the best-- friendly, thorough, and extremely helpful for all our questions. The day was perfect, even beyond our expectations!

Hannalori Brown is a superstar

I met Hannalori on an event this past weekend and...the quality of both her work and everyone's experience was exceptionally stunning.

I've been DJing events for several decades now, and she may be the best I have worked with. Nothing was too much, and she made it all seem effortless (in spite of the complexity of the event). Thorough, communicative, detail oriented, flexible, and a joy to work with. Do not hesitate to ask for her!

Downtown Chicago May 2024 Bride Luis Reveles FOR THE WIN!

We were referred to S.K.E by my husbands brother and sister in law who had used her services in August of 2023 and were very happy with the services they received from ​​Luis Reveles. We had most of our wedding planned/vendors selected but decided we needed the help secuirng our final vendors in addition to day of coordination. We reached out to SKE a few months before our wedding and purchased the sweet pea package. Ironically, we were matched with the same planner, Luis Reveles!

We knew from our previous experience with Luis Reveles that we had nothing to worry about. Luis went above and beyond what we could have asked for. He was always available via text, and provided as many recommendations and suggestions as we needed. About a month before the big day I ran into a serious issue with my makeup trial and Luis jumped in to help negotiate a full refund/contract cancelation with the vendor I had booked. He quickly rebooked me with another vendor from his contact list, and assured me I would be happy with the results. In doing this, he not only saved what could have made my day an absolute disaster, he saved us over a thousand dollars. Not to mention he was right, my makeup and my bridesmaid's makeup were stunning come the day of. Outside of the makeup trial disaster, Luis helped us secure our remaining vendors and worked on getting quotes/price matching from our venue saving us even more money!

Luis Reveles handled everything prior to the wedding, coordinating with vendors, creating timelines, and ensuring everyone knew where they needed to be and when. The only thing I needed to do was confirm and agree with his proposed timeline. When he sent us the 3-D renderings of our reception, my husband and I squealed with excitement!

During our first meeting with Luis, I expressed the reason I wanted a day of coordinator was so on the day of I could be fully present in wedding day bliss - head in the clouds - only needing to be told where to go and what to do. I also wanted my MOH/family members to share the experience with us and not have to worry about anything! Luis delivered on my wish. Me and my family were able to be fully present without concern about anything come the day of.

Come the day of, Luis Reveles had everything ready. I felt like a princess being catered to, and when I asked for something to be changed at the venue, Luis jumped on it. Whatever I needed, Luis made sure I had it. If anything went wrong that day, I will literally never know because Luis took care of it. Not to mention, Luis was snapping the most amazing content all throughout our rehearsal and wedding day. He caught some amazing moments. I could go on and on about Luis, but this review is already long enough LOL.

If you are a bride considering S.K.E - I highly recommend utilzing their services, they are affordable and deliver luxury services. Request Luis Reveles if he is available! He will be your best friend and will go to bat to ensure you have the most incredible wedding day that you deserve. He truly cares about making his brides feel like the queens they are!

Sarah is a well organized event planner and I have seen her in action several times. Sarah is a fast thinking and is able to shift on the fly, she has many good ideas. the best endorsement I could give her is that after seeing her work I introduced her to some friends that actually used her service.
