    Best coordinators in Chicago

    Lety and Veronica are amazing. My husband and I were able to truly enjoy our wedding without worrying about a single thing! They were super proactive with everything and literally went above and beyond for us! They are so organized and made sure we had a detailed timeline and made sure we didn't miss anything! Could not recommend them enough our wedding would've been chaotic without their help!

    Day of coordinator

    My husband and I made the best decision in hiring The Event Chicago for day of coordinator. I am forever grateful that we found Lety and her team! Lety made us feel at ease when discussing the timeline. The team had great communication with us and our vendors. Lety made sure to take all of our necessary items with her to church. Veronica took all of our reception items and made sure to set them up perfectly. Lety and Veronica made our wedding day go by smoothly and stress free! They made sure we were on schedule, helped carry the tail of my dress when taking pictures, helped me change into sandals, made sure all of our items (card cage, cake, frames, guestbook, etc.) were taken back to our suite. They ensured we were taken care of through the day. They took care of payments and tips for all of our vendors. They were amazing! We would highly recommend hiring them for your event!
    Thank you again!

    Hands down best decision in our wedding planning process!

    After we booked our venue, booking a coordinator was our first big decision and one of the most important ones for me as the bride.

    I cannot say enough great things about Lety and her team. I really don't know how I would have been able to have our wedding without them.
    The care and thought that goes into everything is incredible. From the start Lety had great communication. I became very overwhelmed towards the end of planning and Lety showed grace and patience as I struggled with last minute decisions and poor communication on my part. I also have to say that the professionalism, thoughtfulness, and the overall personality of Lety and Veronica really allowed me to trust them and made me feel like I had known them for years! They thought of every little detail and held that throughout the night. There was a few things that came up that I didn't even know about, which is exactly the experience I wanted.

    I can go on and on, and have recommended them to everyone I know planning any event lol. We have some family weddings and a sweet 16 in the next year so I will be rebooking!

    Thank you again, we could not have done it without you!

    If you're thinking about it...DO IT!

    Lety and Veronica went above and beyond to make sure that our whole day ran smoothly. Without their help, I cannot imagine the headaches we would have had on our day. Lety offered suggestions throughout the entire process and was there for us during freak out moments / moments we were not clear on direction. When a fire alarm went off during the reception, Veronica worked to keep us calm and ensured us that everything would work out fine. Her reassurance helped us get through the unexpected event. Both Lety and Veronica were assertive yet respectful when things needed to get done, and we cannot thank them enough for everything they did for us on our special day. THANK YOU SO MUCH! We would hire again for any event in the future.

    Thank you Jordan & Janet! Working with you both and being a part of your wedding was such a highlight! Thank you so much for letting us be a part of it!

    The Event Chicago Review- Wedding

    Hands down, the best decision we made during the wedding planning process was hiring Lety for the day of coordinator services! From the very beginning, when she sent us her brochure of info, we knew she was organized, had an eye for styling, and understood the importance of remembering that it is OUR day, not our guests’ ! She was patient, had amazing suggestions, and was overall there every moment of the day to make sure my partner and I were enjoying ourselves! There was an issue with our party bus being 1.5 hrs late and she problem solved so quickly! Veronica, one of her team members was also there for our special day and we LOVED her! Her personality, her energy, was so amazing! She was there to hold my flowers, fix my dress, and have drinks ready for us! My family was hesitant on us having a coordinator, but after it was done, they agreed that they were an amazing team!!! We truly do not think we could have done it all without them both!!! Please hire them!! You will not regret it!!

    The Event Chicago's reply:

    Thank you, Krizia!! What a beautiful day full of love! Thank you so much for letting us be a part of it!

    Brought the intimate wedding of our dreams to life

    My husband and I contracted The Event Chicago’s day-of coordination and event styling services for our wedding, and we were so impressed by Lety and her team. We were able to enjoy our wedding day without worrying about the logistics (i.e., dealing with vendors) or stressing over last-minute changes to our schedule. They helped our day run smoothly and brought our vision to life! From the morning-of and to the conclusion of our beautiful reception, Lety and her team went above and beyond to ensure our wedding day was everything we wanted and more—it was truly about us! I will definitely return to The Event Chicago for future events as I know I can trust them to execute everything perfectly—down to the smallest details. I am forever grateful to have booked them for our special day. We couldn’t recommend them enough!

    The Event Chicago's reply:

    Thank you, Marina! From the first look, to the ceremony, to the gorgeous rooftop photos & a magical reception- your wedding was everything! Thank you so much for letting us be a part of it!

    The Best Planners in Chicago!

    The Event Chicago went above and beyond for us, from the year letting up through the end of our big day. We can’t thank them enough for allowing us to enjoy our wedding day to the fullest, without having to stress about anything. Both Lety and Xiomara were on top of every detail to make sure everything came out perfectly. They made wedding planning a breeze with answering every single question we had no matter what time of the day it was. I will highly recommend to all of our friends and family for any wedding or event!

    The Event Chicago's reply:

    Thank you, Andrea & Jason! We were so honored to be a part of your wedding and bring your vision to life.

    Dreams to reality

    Lety and The Event Chicago helped plan our wedding for 10/1/22 starting around March of 2021. We can’t imagine how lost we would have been without them planning the wedding. We had a vision of exactly how we wanted everything to be and Lety was able to see it clearly with us. Our family and friends are still raving about the day and the beautiful experience they had. Lety felt like a best friend who wanted to do everything she could to make our wedding a success. She listened to us and gave great advice and connections along the way. The wedding day ended bittersweet because we realized it was the end of our contract and we felt like a family friend was moving away. We will forever recommend her and the business to anyone planning any party. We are forever grateful to her!

    The Event Chicago's reply:

    Thank you, Lane & Eddie! Truly enjoyed very single minute of working so closely with you both to plan your dream day!

    Best decision I made for my wedding day

    Thanks to Lety & Veronica I was able to be fully present and enjoy my entire wedding day. I spent over a year planning my wedding on my own so I knew I would need help the day of. Hiring them as my day of coordinator was one of the best decisions I have ever made. I wanted my mom and bridesmaids to enjoy the day with me as well so it was such a relief to know I had someone dedicated to helping me all day. While everyone was putting their dresses on, Lety was there to help me put on mine. She left a few buttons undone so my mom can finish with the photographer. While I took photos, Lety made sure to take all the ceremony items with her, placed my overnight bag on the party bus, and even locked the doors to my house. When we got to the church, she made sure everything was where it needed to be and helped make sure my now husband didn't see me when I walked into the church. Veronica was alongside her making sure we had everything in place for the ceremony. At the reception, Veronica made sure everything setup perfectly and checked on me throughout the evening. She facilitated the dollar dance, placed all of our receptions items including some flowers into our bridal suite, and kept us on track with our timeline. My wedding day was perfect and I am so happy I was able to enjoy it with the help of these women.

    The Event Chicago's reply:

    Thanks, Megan! Thank you so much for letting us be a part of your special day! Veronica and I enjoyed spending every minute with you, Adrian, and your wedding party. Wishing you a lifetime of happiness!

    The Event made our international event truly perfect!!

    The Event helped us plan our destination event in Paris, France this year and it turned out perfect! From day one, Lety was hands on with every detail, big and small, making sure that all would lead to a beautiful and successful event. My husband and I were very impressed with her ability to maneuver all negotiations with our vendors despite the distance and language barriers given that our event was international. She saved us so much time and effort by handling all communication and sorting of terms/conditions with all vendors which in turn made planning our event more enjoyable because we could focus on the fun stuff! Additionally, we appreciated how much The Event looks out for their client's best interests. Lety and her team are very deliberate about keeping things fair and clear. If something doesn't add up or seem right, Lety is quick to let you know. That made us feel like we were in good hands and trust her advice throughout the entire process. Communication is also excellent! I always received a prompt response. Lety and her team are super professional and reliable. I can go on and on describing all the reasons why The Event is the best event planning company in the Chicagoland area (and beyond!) but I will end with this: If I had to go back, I would choose The Event a million times! I cannot imagine anyone else besides Lety to be able to handle such a large scale event like ours. If she can successfully plan an event from thousands of miles away with different components coming in from different countries around the world, then she and her team can do anything!! Hiring The Event was the #1 best choice we could have made. We will forever be grateful to Lety and her team for all the time, hard work, and care that was put into making sure that our event was beautiful and utter perfection!

    The Event Chicago's reply:

    Thank you, Elizabeth! One of the best experiences our team has had was working so closely with you and your family. It was truly an honor to be a part of your special day. We miss every minute of it!

    Great Experience

    One of our biggest concerns when wedding planning was day of coordination. We wanted to make sure our families enjoyed our special day as did we. We were lucky enough to find Lety. She was communicative and professional as well as her assistant. She also brought our memory table and welcome station vision to life! The biggest plus was that she speaks Spanish---so she was able to communicate with our parents. Day of coordinator is A MUST for your wedding day. Book The Event Chi for a memorable night!

    Thank you Martiza & Ismael! It was such a pleasure to work with you! What a great wedding, thank you for letting us be a part of it.

    Beyond Amazing!

    We hired the ladies from The Event for our day of coordinator for our wedding. We knew from 2 years prior we had to have them be part of our special day. Besides being affordable and flexible with payment, Lety was professional, warm, organized and such as leader. Everything we needed to make sure our day went as planned as possible. She shared her thoughts, provided feedback, took charge but also reminded us it was our day and in the end we had to be happy. Lety and her team provided our timeline and forwarded that to all our vendors to make sure everyone was on the same page. On the day of, her team were there for anything I needed. Examples include keeping us all on schedule, getting the bridal party organized, carrying payments and tips for vendors, holding my phone/keys, touching up my hair in the bridal suite after getting caught in rain, helping me switch into more comfortable shoes, keeping all gifts and cards safe, storing our centerpieces and big decorative pieces for easy clean up at the end of the party. I mean, anything you can think they did and were always one step ahead. I didn't know what a day of coordinator was and what they did and now that I do, I'm so glad they were there. All the stress was gone and the day just seemed easy. Thank you again Lety and big big thanks to your team. I would definitely recommend. Book them! You'll be glad you did.

    Dream Team!


    I can go on and on about how amazing Lety & her team were! From the first phone call until the very end of our wedding night! Communication was clear, concise & helpful! I always felt supported in my decisions and oftentimes when asking for advice Lety would help guide without making me feel overwhelmed! During my wedding day, Veronica was at our venue making the place look straight out of a dream, I seriously couldn’t have asked for anything better. Xiomara was with me at our hotel and during photos, she kept us on time and often made me feel like I had another friend along for the ride! It is very important for me to connect and support women/Latina owned companies, and these women were such a strong confident team I felt so supported! I seriously could not recommend them enough, I will be talking about them and their team for years to come & recommending them to everyone that I possibly can, I feel so lucky to have had them helping make our day possible! ❤️ forever thankful,
    The Pastiriks!

    Best team ever!

    Lety and her team were amazing on our wedding day. They handled every little hiccup flawlessly and made sure that everything was executed exactly how we had planned. I always tell people that I come across to hire a day of coordinator for their big day because of the experience I had with this team. 10/10 recommend!
