Chicago Wedding Day-of Coordination and Planning

Down-to-earth day-of coordination and planning so you know you won’t be pulled away from the fun and can truly be present with your family and friends.

Why do you need a Chicago Day-of Wedding Coordinator?

There’s no surprise that wedding planning can be stressful. With spending thousands of dollars, making thousands of decisions, and hearing thousands of opinions, you might start to think, “What are we even doing??”

You have a great group of family and friends willing to help you! It’s nice to have your best people by your side through it all, but who’s going to help you ON your wedding day?

Thankfully, you’ve come to your last stop before being able to sit back and enjoy wedding planning and your wedding day with your loved ones and know that your wedding details are fully managed and covered.

Nice to Meet You!

My name is Rachel MacQueen (she/her) and I’m the CEO and a lead planner here at Firmly Rooted Events. We are here to make sure you actually enjoy your wedding planning journey! I am a Type-A type of girl that wants to make sure you can be fully present with family and friends and not think about the details.

“Rachel was the best to work with and made our wedding day a dream come true! She was so organized and stayed in touch with our vendors to ensure the day ran flawlessly. Not only was Rachel patient, kind, and so friendly to work with, she answered all of our questions and helped in every way possible. She communicated well and made sure all of our family members were fully present on the wedding day. I highly recommend working with Rachel to make your day truly perfect.”
