    Best Wedding Planner in the Chicagoland area

    We can't recommend Anne and her team enough! Her positive and reassuring attitude always kept the bride upbeat and anxiety low :). Her attention to detail paid off and she always made sure the bride and families felt great about any decision made. The mother of the bride also had glowing reviews! She wanted to feel like the father of the bride and just show up that day which is exactly what happened. The day of the event was perfect and we have Anne to thank for our special day!

    Best Money Spent!

    Anne is amazing and had actually planned & coordinated for a few of my friends weddings before I had booked her, so I was familiar with her style and execution. We personally only utilized the day of coordination services and it was EXTREMELY worth it. She was a pleasure to meet/work with and I will recommend to any one in the future I know getting married. I'm type A so I did all the research, vendor contracting reviews, etc. for our wedding and thought I had covered everything, but there were still items that I would've never even thought about that Anne helped us with! Also, she helped a bit more when we suddenly lost our venue (90 days before wedding) due to an abrupt closing. And every single bridal party and family member that interacted with Anne RAVED about her!

    Tying the Knot was recommended to us by our venue, Eaglewood Resort and Spa, and with out a doubt was that the best recommendation that we received! We knew we needed a coordinator since we we’re getting married downtown, having our reception in the suburbs, and would need assistance with all of the logistics of our wedding day. Brooke and her team handled our wedding day flawlessly! Brooke, was always available, especially in the leading weeks up to our wedding, to answer any last minute questions, and that really helped put my nerves at ease. Brooke reached out to all of our vendors and was able to spot any issues and got everyone on the same page. Brooke was also a big help when we met with our venue in our final walk through and asked a lot of questions that we hadn’t even thought of! By hiring Tying the Knot, my husband and I, and are parents were able to enjoy our reception and I don’t know what we would have done without them! Tying the Knot was the best vendor we used for our wedding day!

    My husband and I cannot say enough wonderful things about Tying the Knot! They were the best decision we made when planning our wedding. We could not have done it without our wedding planner, Anne! She was always there when we needed her, and she had the most spectacular ideas. She truly brought our vision to life. In addition, she is such a wonderful, kind, and thoughtful person to work with! After knowing her for a couple of days, she had my mind and ideas down one hundred percent! She coordinated absolutely everything and recommended the best vendors to us. We can honestly say that there was not one thing where Tying the Knot led us down the wrong path! If you are looking for a wedding planner, you should DEFINITELY go with Tying the Knot!!

    We used Brooke with Tying the Knot and I really do not have the words to describe how amazing she was! We had about 7 months to plan my wedding and I was able to get everything I dreamed of. She was available 24/7 and she always worked with my schedule and great flexibility. The best thing I ever did for myself regarding my wedding was hire her. I will forever be grateful to her and Tying the Knot for giving me the most memorable and special day! She was always checking on me especially the week of the wedding and letting me know she was there for any questions or concerns I had. The day of the event she was there for me as well and making sure everything ran smoothly. I know that the was the reason my wedding was so beautiful and I was so lucky that not a thing went wrong. I highly recommend Tying the Knot.

    Tying the Knot are exceptional wedding planners. We had hired them as day of wedding planners but they went above and beyond their duties. The girls were professional, quick to respond back to phone calls or emails and very helpful down to the smallest detail. They were awesome and without their help I don't think everything would have run as smoothly. They are wonderful to work with, and were always available whenever we called with questions on the many issues that come up with planning a wedding. They were very helpful in establishing timelines whether it was with the orchestra or the hotel catering staff. On the day of the wedding, they were at the hotel from early afternoon until midnight when the reception ended. Their expertise in wedding planning and exceptional service was terrific. I would highly recommend Tying the Knot as wedding planners.

    We worked with Brooke from TTK for day-of wedding coordinating services for our wedding, and let me tell you - she was some of the best money we spent. On top of making sure EVERYTHING ran smoothly and taking care of everything the day of (and really most of the things the week of the wedding), she created detailed timelines for all vendors, reviewed all contracts, followed up with vendors in the weeks leading up to the wedding, and was always available for whatever questions we had. In my opinion, TTK goes above and beyond to make sure your entire day runs as smoothly as possible - and my day definitely did! It was perfect, and it was such a relief to have Brooke there all day for questions / requests etc. No bride wants to be bothered with anything that day, and it was great to have her there to cover it all for all of us. She was there until the very end, ready to pack up our personal belongings after the reception as we were saying goodbye to guests. Worth the $$ - trust me!

    Brooke and the team at Tying the Knot were fabulous!! They were super organized throughout the entire process, had great ideas to help create our dream wedding and were invaluable when it came to helping me with my flowers and invitations. Most importantly, Brooke helped me relax and enjoy my wedding weekend, which is hard for the Type A Personality that I have. I would HIGHLY recommend working with Brooke and Tying the Knot!!

    Christine and Anne were absolutely amazing wedding planners. First and foremost they are the kindest, most patient, and fun women. In their company you can't help but feel happy and cared for. They are extremely detail oriented and didn't miss a thing. Christine was able to offer excellent advice and ideas because of her experience planning so many weddings. She literally gave recommendations for nearly all of our other vendors- each one of which we could not have been happier with. In addition, we purchased and designed nearly all of our paper products with Christine which made everything so streamlined and organized (invitations, menu cards, ceremony programs, thank you cards). And we wanted welcome boxes in the hotel rooms but didn't have the energy to do it. So of course Christine said that was another service she could provide. The boxes and note were just perfect- our guests loved them! I would recommend Christine, Anne, and Tying the Knot for any bride who wants to be assured that their special day will flow effortlessly and full of joy- what every bride deserves!

    Christine from Tying the Knot was the planner for my daughter's wedding. I wasn't sure if I should spend the money for a planner, but it was the best decision I made. Every vendor Christine referred us to was the right fit for our price range and venue. She saved us time and money. She helped us stay within our budget and handled every contract and vendor. The wedding went perfectly and the best part was that I got to be at my daughter's wedding and enjoy it.

    Having Tying the Knot apart of our wedding really put our minds at ease! Brooke was fantastic, she was always available and really organized. Brooke was personable and took the time to make sure our wedding was perfect! She got to know us and saw the vision we wanted for our wedding. I would recommend her to anyone as a great asset to make sure everything goes according to plan!

    We worked with Brooke from Tying The Knot and she was exceptional! I never could have managed planning my wedding and working full time without her. She kept me on track, sent me reminders, and made excellent recommendations. I could ask her anything and she always had the answer- it was like having your own personal wedding Google! I said throughout the process and still feel the same way- of anything we spent money on, Tying the Knot's service was one I was the most certain of. And on the big day I was able to enjoy the day and go with the flow knowing that Brooke was making sure everything was going as planned. If you want to avoid "Bridezilla" moments, working with Brooke is the way to go!

    Christine was amazing as a weekend-of coordinator and planner to the extent that I needed her. She went over every detail with me to ensure everything was taken care of, and on the day of my wedding she was on top of everything and made sure everything went smoothly and without a hitch. Not to mention she was a lovely lady to deal with. I could not have done it without her help.

    We worked with Brooke at Tying the Knot for our wedding day, and I could not have imagined my wedding day without her! In the weeks leading up to the wedding, she created a day of timeline, confirmed with vendors, and helped us feel at ease about the big day. She was there the entire wedding day coordinating everything. When the flowers were delivered in the wrong vases, she fixed it seamlessly and immediately. She kept a smile on her face the entire day, even when things/people were being difficult. Brooke allowed us to enjoy our wedding day without having to worry about anything. She absolutely made our wedding day the best day of our lives, and we could not imagine doing it without her!

    Brooke at Tying the Knot is absolutely amazing. This is probably the best money I spent on my wedding. I hired her for the day of coordination and it gave me such relief during the week of the wedding. Brooke listens well to exactly what you need and she contacted every vendor to confirm details and go through timeline for me so that I didn't have to do this during the week of my wedding. She lead the rehearsal and then made sure the timeline was perfect on day of wedding. I could not have been happier with Brooke's service. She is also sweet, caring, friendly and a wonderful person that you want next to you during your stressful moments as a bride!

    Words can barely express how much Tying the Knot added to our happiness. They helped make our wedding the most wonderful experience we have ever had. Not only did Tying the Knot ensure our wedding weekend was perfect, but they made the entire planning process extremely enjoyable and fun.

    Everything went perfectly. Brooke made sure my husband and I didn’t have to worry about a thing throughout the planning process and especially on our wedding day. She did so much behind the scenes that we’ll never even know she did.

    Brooke offered fantastic ideas, helpful thoughts, patience, coordination and project management skills, excitement for us, a calm demeanor, and personal investment in making our wedding day the best possible day it could be. Brooke never pushed any decisions on us. She always let us make our own choices and guided us with the right information we needed to make an informed decision. She helped us choose the perfect vendors with the best benefits for the price point we wanted. She always negotiated fairly on our behalf.

    Our wedding would not have been as spectacular as it was without Brooke and Tying the Knot. Brooke took our words and ideas and made them come to life in a way that was better than we had ever dreamed. Brooke even made amazing, big requests happen with less than 48 hours to go before the wedding without ever appearing rattled or stressed (like my husband wanting to surprise me with an indoor winter wonderland blizzard)!

    I can’t say enough about how wonderful Tying the Knot can help make your wedding.

    Tying the Knot could not have done a better job at making our wedding day truly the "happiest day of our lives." From the moment we had our initial meeting with Brooke, I knew that they were the PERFECT choice when trying to find someone who could make planning fun and non-stressful. Our year and a half planning period could not have gone more smoothly thanks to their endless creative ideas and flexible schedules. Never once did I feel stressed about what needed to be done, when it needed to be done by, and whether or not I could get exactly what I wanted. Brooke worked to make everything perfect for our day! She was there for us throughout our entire day, allowing us to truly enjoy every single moment from getting ready all the way through the end of the reception. Never once did we worry about something not going as planned on our special day...we knew that was already being taken care of. Tying the Knot certainly went above and beyond our expectations and we would recommend them to anyone who wants a perfect wedding day!

    Brooke was my primary coordinator. I hired her for day-of, but she really started taking things over several weeks beforehand. I had booked most of my vendors before hiring her, but she did make a few recommendations for the few I hadn't booked which was really helpful. As the day-of neared I was so burnt out and my placecard table idea was nothing but tons of pots of ivy and tickets that i just passed off and she put together the most amazing table! it looked fantastic! I woke up the morning-of completely stress-free b/c i knew she was running the show. As far as i'm concerned absolutely nothing went wrong. It was the most perfect day! I would recommend a day-of coordinator to anyone, but Brooke was beyond amazing!

    Brooke and her team at Tying the Knot helped make my wedding day everything I envisioned. They are so professional and so nice and made sure everything went as smooth as possible on the day of the wedding. Their attention to the small details added that special touch to everything! I highly recommend Tying the Knot for your wedding!

    Christine and Brooke of Tying the Knot made our wedding weekend run so smoothly, it seemed to hum. We'd already lined up all of our vendors ourselves, but being able to hand them over to Christine was the biggest burden off my shoulders for those last weeks before the wedding. She coordinated times, arrivals, and payments, not to mention setup of our favors (homebrewed beer) at the end of the evening. She even made sure my groom's boutonniere was on securely.

    Brooke did a fantastic job on our programs, table numbers, and menu and place cards. Everything was beautifully laid out and just perfect.

    They're a terrific team. Not once did I feel any stress about what was going on that day because Christine exuded a zen-like sense of calm and control. It couldn't have gone any better!
