    Worth Every Penny

    We hired Naturally Yours Events for our day-of coordination for our ~130 person wedding, and it was the best decision we ever made. If you're reading these reviews and wondering if you should reach out to them for your wedding: Yes, you should.

    When an event is executed flawlessly, it's most likely because someone was doing a lot of hard work behind the scenes to make sure everything goes smoothly. In our case, we were so lucky that that person was Mel. My husband and I were able to let go and revel in the celebration, and we couldn't have done that without Mel's careful coordination. She was so well organized, communicative, calm, and patient throughout the whole process. She does so much more than just show up on the day of the event. She started working with us weeks before to make sure we had everything in order for the big day (vendors, contracts, timelines, seating charts, logistics, rings, gifts, wardrobe, wedding license, photography shot lists, and on, and on, and on). As we got closer to the event, she oversaw the logistics, corresponding with all the vendors, making sure there weren't any communication gaps, and ensuring everyone knew where to go and when to be there. She and her assistant even set out all of my DIY decorations.

    No matter what your budget is, hiring a day-of coordinator will help to ensure that you get the most value out of the cost of your wedding. My husband and I, our guests, and our friends were able to be fully present on our wedding day, and it was such a gift. We had time to taste the food, drink our wine, dance, and spend time with our guests, and we couldn't have done that if Mel hadn't been there to oversee all of the details throughout the day.

    The BEST of the best

    Kristen Stewart was our planner and we had such a blast working with her! She made sure we kept on schedule and was super flexible with our work schedules for meetings, for which we are forever grateful. She understood our vision perfectly and recommended that I have a heart shaped bouquet (it was awesome) and encouraged us to include our dog in the ceremony (also awesome). We don’t know how we could have possibly orchestrated such a grand occasion without her guiding us. “I literally don’t know what we would have done without her” -my HUSBAND just now. THANK YOU SO SO SO MUCH!!!

    Working with Naturally Yours was the best decision we made for our planning!

    We are not exaggerating when we say that we could not have planned and pulled off such a perfect wedding day without the assistance of Mel and Naturally Yours. While Mel was technically our day-of coordinator, she felt more like a full on Wedding Planner in the months leading up to our big day.

    Mel stayed in constant communication with all of our vendors and was able to ask and get clarification on so many things that we would not have thought of. She was able to make last-minute decisions for us when the weather on our wedding day was less than ideal and was always a calm and reassuring presence. Everything was exactly how we wanted it to be when it came down to it and that would not have been possible without her and Samantha. She is a true pro!

    It would be difficult to list all the ways Naturally Yours helped us in a single review. But we can absolutely recommend that you use their planning tools that come bundled with their service (seriously, use them). The more you follow their recommendations, the less you have to think or worry about on the day-of.

    We loved NYE!

    Naturally Yours Events was a pleasure to work with from start to finish. Every detail or request we threw at them was always a resounding, "Yes, we can do that!" They were able to customize our day-of coordinator package to fit what we needed as a multicultural, multi-event wedding. Tempris Daniels was our lead coordinator, and she did a fantastic job advocating for our vision while juggling the demands from all of our vendors. 10/10 would recommend NYE!

    12/10 Experience!

    We had an absolutely amazing experience working with Melodie at Naturally Yours Events for our wedding. Melodie was extremely knowledgeable, unbelievably helpful, and SO MUCH FUN to work with. I was torn on whether or not we needed a planner and can confidently say that having a planner for our wedding was the best decision we could have made. Melodie made the process so much easier and we truly cannot imagine having done everything without her! Cannot recommend more!

    Enjoy the Celebration!

    Naturally Yours Events (Evelyn Onate) seamlessly guided my daughter's wedding weekend at the Chicago Athletic Association. Every last detail was thought out beforehand, and the only thing I had left to do was enjoy the celebration!

    "We didn't want a planner at first, and now couldn't imagine our wedding without them.."

    Let me share this from the perspective of people who never wanted to hire a wedding planner .... ( but our venue required it. ) First, my wife and I wanted to find a company that's inclusive to ALL kinds of love. Naturally Yours fit the bill. During our introductory phone call, they asked for my pronouns, which really made a positive impression on me that they would care about that area. They found a price package that made sense for us. We went with the "Day Of Plus" ... which guarantees all the important support on the day of your wedding, plus additional meetings to plan thru decor/design. Our first real meeting was with Tempris. And she was great! For two people who never wanted to hire a wedding planner ... we had such a fun time creating our "vision board" ... (that we didn't know even existed for weddings) ... but became super helpful in handing over to possible florists and Photo Booth vendors, even our venue. Tempris was so kind and helpful. She sent us on our way after that meeting, feeling well-equipped to hire vendors. A few months later, we were paired with our lead coordinator, Liz, and she was a great fit for us as a couple. How important is that? Super important ... think about it, Liz became our "third wheel" in almost everything in the planning process. Who wants to hang with a "dud" third wheel? :) ... Naturally Yours works to pair couples with their planner in this way...based on phone calls, bio information ... they can guess what will and won't work. Liz was exceptional. Positive energy, responsive, very detail-oriented, and compassionate. During the final few months, she made key suggestions and observations of changes that needed to be made .. big and small. (And things we wouldn't have thought about) Wedding Day? Liz was our MVP. She went above and beyond coordinating so many things. Stopped by our hotel to say hello to everyone getting ready, communicating with our vendors in what was probably 1500 text messages/emails back and forth ... and not all of them were easy to coordinate with! She did everything with a smile and an exceptional attitude. And the best part? Because of Liz ... we only had to think about getting married. She handled everything else ...from laying out our change of shoes (heels to Nikes of course) :) , finding an Uber late for my family, to taking awesome photos and interacting with our vendors and guests in such a fun and natural way. She kept our night rolling ... in a timely and organized, seamless manner. We had a short ceremony, so we didn't rehearse. But I'll never forget Liz coming up to us (separately) with some guided advice on what will work best ... and then the final piece of guidance, handed over with a smile: "Breathe. You're getting married. It's going to be awesome." And it was. The best night of our lives. Thanks to Naturally Yours. We didn't want you at first, and now couldn't imagine our wedding without you. :) 5++++ stars

    Expert Wedding Coordinator!

    Katie Liang was our wedding coordinator and we are so grateful! She effortlessly coordinated all of our vendors and our wedding day was perfect. At the end of the day, our cheeks hurt from smiling so much. If there were any hiccups, we were not aware because the whole day was great. Katie brought us water and snacks while we were getting ready. At the end of the night, Katie cleaned everything up and herded us on to the shuttle. Katie made wedding planning stressfree and she is fun to work with!

    Money well spent! Please do it.

    Caitlyn has been such a joy to work with! We are recommending them left and right to all of our soon-to-be-wed friends. They seriously took so much weight off our shoulders.

    Our friends and family have been telling us that our wedding was the best one they have attended! They were instrumental in that success.

    Highly recommend NYE and Caitlyn for any type of planning, especially hiring a Day of Coordinator! Money well spent.

    Exactly what you need

    My aunt (from Chi) purchased a wedding coordinator for us for my wedding (in WI). We were paired with Liz and she was amazing! She fully support my vision and wants as the bride. She was also super honest and blunt and I respect that so much, because I am the same way. Liz was so accommodating with my crazy life schedule and living so far away from the City she still worked with us. The spreadsheet and meetings provided were so helpful with staying on track with wedding prep. She made sure small details I never would of thought of were right and prepared for the big day. With rain on the day of, DJ not playing music for the ceremony. She took charge and made sure I still had my music and vision outside. She got some great photos too on her own. She meshed well with my whole group and vendors. I wish I could throw another wedding just go work with her again. She was amazing and exactly what I needed to be stress free and happy on my big day.

    My Franck!

    Mel was fantastic! She is so calming and on top of it - which is exactly what I need! She was my Franck (for my Father of the Bride fans) without his pushy opinions lol. I know my wedding would not have gone half as smoothly and as beautifully without Mel and the NYE team. I had a truly wonderful experience with them from beginning to end. They provide you with so many planning tools and guidance, but if you also veer off a little bit they don't hunt you down or force you back. The design meeting add on was CRUCIAL as I kept having nightmares I would walk into my wedding and it would be a hodge podge mess. It was so well run and seamless - I didn't have to do a thing. I was so worried about my wedding but then after the walk through (which Mel arranged and advised me to do!!), I knew Mel and my caterer had my back and wouldn't let us fail. I can't tell you the relief that was!! My wedding was absolutely beautiful and perfect (I'm biased but still lol) and yet I didn't have to lift a finger day of. I know I have Mel/NYE to thank for so much of that! Love you guys - thank you for everything!!!

    Wonderful!

    We used Naturally Yours Events for our wedding this past weekend, and Liz Breen was our wedding planner. Liz was AMAZING. From our first meeting to the big night, Liz was fun, organized, professional, and totally on top of everything. She allowed us to truly relax and enjoy our night, and we could not have gotten through it without her. Liz anticipated our needs, shared helpful advice and suggestions, and was an absolute joy to work with. We couldn’t recommend her and Naturally Yours Events more!

    Absolute best wedding coordinator!

    My husband and I had to postpone our wedding set for May 2020 due to the pandemic. We had pretty much planned our wedding details on our own, but needed help organizing everything so that our day would run smoothly. We decided to look into day of coordination and chose the Honeydew package since it fit our needs perfectly. After our initial consultation, we were paired with the most amazing coordinator, Liz Breen! We hit it off immediately and after sharing our vision, she made sure that everything was perfect! She was extremely professional, easy to work with, and patient with all of our needs. Every aspect of our wedding was treated with care and organized down to the last detail. We couldn't have had a better match with Naturally Yours Events and Liz. She was a life-saver and we couldn't have done it without her!

    10/10 would recommend!!

    I was on the fence about getting a coordinator at first and I’m SO glad we did! Mel was absolutely amazing and helped us have the absolute best day of our lives! Their planning tool was incredibly helpful and made us feel prepared and organized. This really helped reduce some stress in the final month leading up to the wedding. Mel was down to earth, calm, friendly, organized and professional! Her demeanor put us at ease and set the tone for all of us in the wedding party. She coordinated with our vendors ahead of the big day, took charge during the rehearsal and gave the bridal party great tips, and was prepared for everything the day threw at us (even a bloody nose on my dress during the first look!). She was a natural with the flower girl and helped out with her during the ceremony, speeches, and dinner to make sure it all went smoothly! And of course helping with our setup and tear down was key in allowing us to fully enjoy the day! Thank you Mel and Naturally Yours Events!!

    They helped make our wedding a success!

    My wife and I worked with Liz and Sarah from Naturally Yours and they did a wonderful job for our wedding. We literally could not have done it without them!! I would call them the glue that held it all together. Liz and Sarah went above and beyond to make our special day an absolute success. There was rain in the forecast for our outdoor wedding and Liz came up with multiple contingencies for the ceremony if the weather didn't cooperate. If you're on the fence about hiring a day of coordinator, do it because trust me you'll be glad you did!

    Stop your search and go with Naturally Yours Events!

    We had the pleasure of working with Lauren as our Day of Coordinator. She listened and was quickly able to establish our trust. From beginning to end Lauren’s knowledge was evident and she was always communicative and honest. Working with her was a breeze and even our vendors commented at how organized and professional she was. A huge thank you to Lauren and the whole NYE team for enabling us to enjoy our wedding day knowing we were in great hands!

    Incredible

    We LOVE Carlene! We interviewed five planners and instantly knew that we wanted to work with Naturally Yours. Carlene’s friendly, yet calm demeanor put us at ease. Importantly, she is experienced, honest, objective, detail oriented, and a great listener. During our meetings, we always felt like a priority and that she genuinely cared about us. She helped us think through everything we wanted (or could want) for our wedding - as well as what we wouldn’t need - so we could craft a day that was joyous, meaningful, and authentically ours.

    We hired Naturally Yours for partial planning, which included things like a planning timeline, budget, vendors and contract reviews, and day-of timeline. More than that, Carlene was indispensable as our trusted advisor and sounding board. She was never pushy, always honest, and we knew she had our best interests at heart. For example, she steered us away from decisions that would be costly and/or poor quality, enabling us to make the most of our budget (which isn’t always easy in Chicago).

    Carlene helped us make decisions especially during the challenge of postponements and public health mandates amid Covid. At every step of the way, Carlene was quick to respond to emails, happy to jump on calls with us, and answered our many, many questions without missing a beat. She also advocated for us when needed. It was a pleasure to plan with her for an extra year!

    On the day of the wedding, we were surrounded by incredible vendors all recommended by Naturally Yours. Carlene and Kristen worked magic behind the scenes. Carlene came prepared for everything, from fixing my husband’s boutonniere to sewing my bustle. I also forgot my dad’s gift at the hotel; she was able to have it brought to us before walking down the aisle. The photos of my dad and me at that moment are some of the most precious from the day - and they wouldn’t exist without her.

    Our guests complimented how smoothly everything ran. The whole day was on time, and flowed thoughtfully.

    Naturally Yours is an incredible value add for your wedding. And they’re a member of the Green Wedding Alliance, which is a bonus :)

    Day-Of Services + Design Meeting

    Kristen was SO great to work with! Friendly from the start, sincere and a great listener. We utilized NYE's day of services along with two pre-wedding meetings to help with "look". Bringing the team in early really helped us secure their recommended vendors whom were also very budget friendly. All of our guests said they had never seen a better planner. We feel very lucky and enjoyed every moment of our wedding day!!

    Carlene is the Chicago Dream

    Working with Carlene, the owner of Naturally Yours Events, was the best decision we made throughout our wedding planning process. She kept us on task, within budget, and made our 3 year engagement fly by! She was so delightful, warm, and professional - she truly wowed all of our wedding party and guests. Having a planner that really takes the time to understand who you are as a couple and as individuals really sets you up for success in planning a post-pandemic wedding (with the least amount of stress possible). What are you waiting for? Book Carlene!

    Loved working with NYE!

    I’m so glad we chose to work with Naturally Yours for our day-of coordination! From my first discussion with Kristen, I knew I wanted to work with them because I could tell how organized and on top of it they were. You could also tell by the super detailed month-by-month planning tool that they provided (which we used religiously). We found out our lead coordinator was Lauren 3 months out and she was truly a gem! We had 2 long planning meetings, an on-site visit, and a ton of emails back and forth throughout the whole process. She was particularly helpful with all our last minute covid questions since our wedding was during the height of the delta variant. On the day of, she kept things rolling but was also calm and collected the whole time. If there were any mishaps, I had no idea - I trusted her to take care of things! Huge thanks to Naturally Yours for coordinating the most amazing day.

    Highly recommend, completely worth it!

    It was unanimously recommended to have a "day of coordinator," and we couldn't agree more. Kristen and NYE were 100% worth it. We shopped around getting recommendations from vendors and friends. We were drawn in by NYE website complete with their mission statement, core values and planner bios. Our initial phone call was with Kristen, and her enthusiasm and talent for her job were immediately evident. Her organization, attention to detail, energy and professionalism were top notch. If we ever had a question or needed an opinion on a decision, Kristen provided honest, helpful information gleaned from her extensive experience. We completely trusted her. She was a great mix of personal and professional.

    Also to note, our wedding happened at the onset of COVID-19 in early-mid March 2020. Kristen worked double time in the last 3-4 days communicating between us and our various vendors as the last minute cancellations came rolling in. She put us, our families and friends at ease. She handled everything, never missing a beat, and always with a great attitude. We would hire her again in an instant and recommend her to anyone needing help planning any event.

    Thank you Kristen and NYE!

    Happy Couple + Ideal Planner = Flawless Event

    Carlene and her team made planning a wedding in a pandemic a very smooth experience. From our first meeting, we felt like this was the right match for us. Carlene takes the time to get to know her couples as people and not just as clients. First and foremost, her priority is to make sure the wedding is carried out with our vision. In spite of everything going on the world, her ability to pivot in this current environment and continue to provide excellent services made it all worth it.

    Her knowledge of how to plan an event that incorporates sustainability and eco-friendly products was exactly the expertise we were looking for to make our wedding happen. She trusts her vendors and they all delivered flawlessly. Carlene is incredibly collaborative and her realist outlook made it easy for us to stay within our budget and carry out a wedding that exceeded our expectations.

    Made our day so perfect.

    I highly recommend Naturally Yours and Lauren in particular. She was not only extremely organized and communicative, but had an incredibly calming energy that ensured that neither me nor my husband ever felt too stressed about anything. The actual wedding of around 160 people went off without a hitch, truly zero problems or if there were any, Lauren handled them out of view, allowing myself and my husband to really just bask in the beauty of the day (especially important given that our initial wedding day had been postponed by the pandemic and we really wanted to be as present as possible!). Lauren is a true professional and also just a really kind and thoughtful human being -- I'm so grateful she was our day-of planner and think everyone looking to get married in Chicago should hire her!!!!

    Hire a day of coordinator!

    Where do I begin with my experience with NYE and Lauren West? I was apprehensive to hire a day-of coordinator, but in hindsight it was the BEST DECISION I EVER MADE! Lauren helped us with so many details that would have slipped through the cracks, and made sure everyone was on task. She even helped put out a major fire on our wedding day (our valet never showed up) and put my mind at ease about the situation. If you are getting married and you are a stress-prone person, HIRE A DAY OF COORDINATOR and specifically hire NYE and Lauren West! I promise your wedding day will be enjoyable and magical and you won't have to worry about a thing!
