    Celebrated Events is a must have vendor!

    My wedding took place in Chicago on July 20, 2024. I do not believe this wedding would have happened without Cyndi! I could not have pulled this off without her. I underestimated how many details and moving parts would be involved. My husband and I were happy to simplify our wedding weekend, not only for ourselves and the planning process but also for our guests, as many people were traveling from out of state. And STILL, the amount of details to consider was massive, and Cyndi handled every single one. Not only did she communicate with all of my vendors, including traveling to Chicago on multiple occasions to view the venue, but she was exceptional at working with me on the decor. Our venue had a very eclectic interior; she pulled the room together beautifully. Of course, all decisions were discussed with me and my opinion was always valued. I must have emailed her 200 times in the past year, and she has ALWAYS been prompt and responsive. Having nothing to worry about on your wedding day is truly invaluable and Celebrated Events made that happen. I wouldn't have changed a thing!

    This planner has it all!

    I have worked personally and professionally with Cyndi for over 20 years. She has coordinated two of my daughters’ weddings and has collaborated with me as a vendor at my own venue. To say that my daughters’ weddings were visually memorable is an understatement. Cyndi is the whole package- ultra-professional, experienced and her design skills are literally unparalleled. She not only will bring any bride’s vision to reality but she will execute the event to perfection. Put your event in her hands, you won’t be sorry!

    Above and beyond

    We weren’t planning on using a wedding planner, but after someone we were relying on dropped the ball, we started checking into who could pick up the pieces. Cyndi had a beautiful website but more than that, When we talked on the phone, I knew that she would be the one to help us. She was very professional and very upfront about how she could help us. Her design plan was thoughtful and she definitely saw our vision. She worked with us on our budget and even after cutting some things back she absolutely knocked it out of the park by making it one of the most beautiful Events I’ve ever seen! We were so lucky we found Cyndi and highly recommend her!

    Wedding of my Dreams!

    Our wedding was more beautiful than we could have ever imagined, and it was only possible thanks to Cyndi's planning and coordination. Cyndi did an incredible job connecting us with the most incredible vendor team and coordinating our timeline with those vendors. Cyndi put lots of beautiful details into our day and she really thought of everything. It was a magical day!

    Professional with a wonderful vision

    Cyndi did an excellent job for our wedding. She was very responsive and made sure every single detail was exactly how we wanted it. She was flexible, kind and professional. She was on top of every task she had. She was extremely reliable and I would never recommend anyone else to help, but her!! We’re so grateful for her hard work and making our big day perfect.

    Highly organized and covered the details superbly!!!

    Cyndi at Celebrated Events was a godsend for our daughter's wedding! We really needed her to step in and keep everyone and everything on task. Cannot praise her enough - she was highly organized and covered all the details superbly. Such a pleasure to work with!

    Cyndi is organized magic

    I didn’t think I’d needed a planner but I was completely wrong. Cyndi went above and beyond and made sure our day was perfect. Every time something came up (as it always does) she fixed the issue without fail. She followed my vision and made the perfect edits to ensure the day was smooth. Cyndi you are the best! I’m going to miss you keeping me on task :)

    Seriously, hire her!

    Cyndi is the best!

    I’m so happy we hired Cyndi, she was the perfect person to coordinate our wedding! She seriously saved the day helping to get everything set up and packed up at the end of the night. She was cool, calm, and collected always, so kind and fun, and gave us the peace of mind that everything would be taken care of. Really could not recommend her more!! Thank you, Cyndi!

    We couldn't have done it without Cyndi!

    Cyndi Basker - Celebrated Events - was instrumental in the success of our daughter's wedding. Her calm and confident demeanor and knowledge of the planning process was so valuable. She thought of all the little details and helped us in every way possible from transportation for our guests to design elements that added so much to the reception. She was willing to go above and beyond to insure everything was just the way my daughter envisioned it. We could relax and enjoy the day knowing Cyndi had everything under control!

    Wedding Savior!

    We recently used Cyndi at Celebrated Events as our planner for our wedding and she was amazing!! The month of she helped with our timeline creation, vendor communication, reception details, and much more. She made sure everything was on track as far as planning and ready for execution on the big day.

    The timeliness, responsiveness, and attention to detail was above and beyond!!! The wedding went as smoothly as it ever could thanks to Cyndi's help. She was very easy and fun to work with. Would 100% recommend to anyone. Your wedding will be awesome with her help!

    Absolutely amazing!

    I had to do my wedding in just 5 short months due to my dad's cancer prognosis. My mom and I were scrambling to find help and decided to reach out to Cyndi. She had another wedding that weekend and usually only takes on one but decided to take on ours as well. She was a blessing in disguise and made everything run so smoothly. She created the wedding of my husband and I's dreams. We wouldn't have been able to do it without her. She was with us every step of the way.

    Wonderful Experience

    Our daughter’s vision for her wedding was made a reality! Everything was so beautiful! Cyndi Basker took us as clients with only 5 months of planning. She did a fantastic job and took the stress off of us, so we could take care of my husband, the father of the bride who is battling cancer.
    We were blessed to have her be our wedding coordinator!

    Wedding Coordinator Review for Cyndi Basker

    Cyndi was very helpful throughout our whole wedding planning process. She never rushed, always making time to go through every detail so that we got exactly what we wanted for our wedding day. She’s easy to work with and very thoughtful, even sending us a cute Christmas gift. She’s very experienced, and wasn’t afraid to give important advice for us to consider when making decisions. If you want a nice and smooth wedding planning experience, go with Cyndi.

    Great communicator, experienced, and made things happen throughout the process start to finish

    If you want a coordinator that knows what she is doing and can adapt to changing situations and does it in a professional and caring way this is the coordinator for you. She is always there to help make decisions and knows how to get things done so you do not have to worry about anything and just enjoy your day. Awesome person you can count on throughout the process. Hire her, period.

    Cyndi is an awesome wedding planner and a new friend!

    I was told about Cyndi by our rental company. I really did t think I needed a wedding planner. My daughter and I decided to give her a call and she what she was all about. By the end of the conversation we booked her for our wedding.
    Cyndi is so professional and easy to work with. I am a very detail oriented person and so is she. We worked beautifully together.
    She saved the day when we had to fire our DJ the week before the wedding! She found a great replacement!
    It was so nice to have someone make sure all our vendors were on the same page. Everything went perfectly!
    I would highly recommend Cyndi for any event. She is awesome!

    Celebrated Events went above and beyond to make my day amazing!

    I couldn’t have asked for a better day of coordinator to make sure everything went smoothly on our wedding day. Cyndi was right there to help with anything I needed leading up to our wedding, and even managed to help me find a new and high demand DJ just two weeks before when the original DJ I booked didn’t work out. He was perfect!!

    She is extremely detail oriented and will make sure everything, even things you never would have thought of, are perfect. Booking celebrated events was the best decision I made throughout the entire wedding process and we truly couldn’t have done it without her!

    Chris and Annie's Beautiful - Miracle Wedding

    Our son and his fiance live in Golden, Colorado. We are in Frankfort, Illinois and her parents reside in South Bend, Indiana. Their wedding was being planned in South Bend. My son works, and so does Annie (bride to be). When they began to plan their wedding from this distance, it was immediately notice by us that they needed large help. Even though they insisted on planning it themselves, we could see from afar it was going to be a disaster unless someone took charge. After a quick search, we found Cynthia. She went way over our expectations. Everything at their wedding was perfect. Every detail taken care of. I believe her best asset (besides her many connections and talents herself) is her communication. She was able to carefully navigate very tough conversations with my son and (now our daughter-in-law) to make it seem that they were the planners, yet Cynthia was able to add ideas; subtract ideas; offer options they never thought of (many); listen to us, and we were in great need to be honest with her; and so much more. To plan a wedding from a long distance is very difficult. Cynthia took the bull by the horns and made the entire experience not only great, but we were both (especially my wife) able to sleep at night knowing details were being completed. Details that could not have been taken care of by us, her family, and neither of them out in Colorado. This wedding only had 6 months to prepare for, and Cynthia's work was beyond compare for us. It was a remarkable job that she did. Chris and Annie still talk about their wedding as if it were the best experience of their life that day/night, and how they will never forget it. Ours friends traveling were astonished at the details, and many times asked us how in the world they were able to pull off such a beautiful wedding from such a distance. We highly recommend her to anyone thinking of using her without any reservation, and welcome phone calls if need be to explain in more details the type of work she did for us. Bill and Linda Holley

    Great decision!

    Hiring Cyndi was a great decision for us, especially with COVID changing our plans seemingly every week! She was very responsive before the wedding and always had a positive attitude through all the ups and downs and changes this year brought us! On the actual day of the wedding, I (and my husband) was actually able to enjoy the day because Cyndi was in the background making sure everything ran smoothly, even when we had a last minute change to move from outside to inside. I would definitely recommend hiring Cyndi to be a part of your wedding!

    Cyndi was awesome!

    When our wedding plans changed three months before the wedding due to Covid, we knew we needed a wedding coordinator to help the day run smooth. Cyndi helped and was an essential part of our day to accomplish this. She thought of questions to ask vendors that I hadn’t thought of, and was very quick to respond to any questions I had for her. The morning of the wedding, I didn’t have to worry about anything going on at the venue because I knew Cyndi would take care of everything, which was a relief I really needed. I would highly recommend Cyndi and her help for any planning leading up to your big day!

    Cyndi helped us put together an incredible wedding weekend and experience. She was so nice and understanding in everything involved. Would HIGHLY recommend working with her for your special occasion as we literally had ZERO hiccups and an exceptionally put together celebration.

    Such an asset!

    A friend of mine recommended Cyndi to me when I was about 5 months out from the big day and feeling totally lost about how to plan or even find vendors. From the first time we spoke she totally understood my vision and was completely on my page. One of the most valuable traits of Cyndi’s is that she has relationships with what seems like almost all vendors in the region. She was able to recommend the large majority of my vendors and because she even had good relationships with them it made the process that much smoother. We are so grateful to Cyndi. She completely executed the wedding of our dreams. It was 1000 times more beautiful that we could have ever imagined. Cyndi really pays attention to detail and even had little suggestions along the way of little things to do that make a big difference, whether that be the food service, or the decor. You know when there are multiple guests making Instagram posts of the table setting that she really nailed it! Our day went off without a hitch (and if it didn’t, we didn’t even know it!) all because of Cyndi. I would definitely recommend using her if you’re like me and feeling lost in the abyss of wedding planning, she won’t steer you wrong!

    Unbelievably amazing!

    I don’t even know where to start! Plain and simple, if I didn’t have Cyndi through the better half of my wedding, our wedding would not have been what it was. I could not possibly contain in the review enough words to exactly express our appreciation. Cyndi is absolutely, the best wedding planner/coordinator in the mid-west area. The compliments of how beautiful our wedding has not stopped almost a month later! Our evening progressed so smoothly and on schedule that we were able to relax and truly enjoy the magic of our special day. Her planning preparations & attention to detail surpassed everything we could have hoped for. Cyndi is beyond professional but also extremely personable. Her extremely fun, positive energy & personality made it very easy to communicate with her. You can talk & trust her with everything, even minutes leading up to the ceremony. She makes you feel like a friend you’ve had for years! She made us and our wedding party feel at most ease, and that’s all you can ask for on your wedding day! We keep saying how much we wish we could relive that day over and over again! And the honest truth is we would and would NOT change a thing! To any bride-to-be’s out there – If you are looking for an upscale wedding coordinator and someone you can 100% trust to plan one of the most important days of your life, I wouldn’t recommend anyone but Cyndi Basker with Celebrated Events. I have no doubt she will exceed all your expectations!
    So much love to Cyndi Basker & Celebrated Events!

    We could not have planned our wedding without Cyndi!

    We are so happy we had Cyndi on our team as we planned our wedding! We live in Denver, and planned a wedding at the Basilica of the Sacred Heart and The Century Center, and we absolutely could not have done it all without her help! She knew all of our venues and was able to recommend vendors who were perfect for our wedding! She also helped us create deadlines/ checklists/ and week of timelines that kept us and our families on track. It was a very stress-free planning experience for my fiancé and me. If you’re looking to make your event planning process enjoyable rather than a headache, get Cyndi on your team as soon as possible!
