Your wedding day involves so many little details that it’s helpful to have someone else keeping track of them. Sure, you know the major things like booking your venue, photographer, band and florist but have you thought about all of those details that pull the entire day together? Those are the things we love a wedding planner for. Although they are definitely there to recommend vendors that fit your needs, they also take care of all the logistical things that can sometimes make even the sanest bride go crazy. Trust us when we say a great wedding planner is key! Here are our favorites in Illinois.
