Best Wedding Coordinator in Chicago
From the Couple
“She was everywhere! Running our ceremony effortlessly, ensuring our room flip was perfect, and introducing herself to our families.”
What we were up to while Nikki + Kevin decompressed post-ceremony with their signature drinks and appetizers.
Your freedom to be fully present
“Spill on the dance floor? Don’t worry, they had found maintenance and had it cleaned within minutes.”
– All of Nikki + Kevin’s wedding guests who don’t need to miss a second of Pitbull’s “Fireball (Dale)”
When our wedding coordinator team is on site, you’ll never get pulled away from the fun. We’ll be the living, breathing, (and very friendly) buffer between your joy and all of the logistics.

“Wanting to change into converse but forgetting socks? Don’t worry, she had brand new socks in her car.”
– Nikki after rocking her wedding heels for 8+ hours.
From handshakes to hugs
Our couples are showered in support and encouraged to plan a day with their full hearts. We love working with fun-loving couples who are ready to feel not only at ease in who they hire, but also so excited to get married with a personalized wedding day. You’re in very good hands.
“…And every bride’s personal favorite: The wedding dress bustle that broke not once, not twice, not three times, but four times? Don’t worry, Rachel’s handiwork with some safety pins is unmatched.”
– So Nikki’s gown wasn’t weighing her down during dancing.

You might be wondering,
“what makes Firmly Rooted Events different from
other day-of coordinators?”
-
We specialize in day-of coordination
Instead of focusing attention on full-service planning, we do day-of coordination every weekend and have tons of experience working weddings in all kinds of venues, with all kinds of vendors, and taking care of all kinds of details.
-
We start working for you when you book
No matter how many months before the wedding you hire us, you have us as a resource all the way until your wedding day. Email us with any questions or get recommendations early so you can make planning easier!
-
We keep in touch with a quick response time
Our response time is one of the things our couples love about working with us. We typically get back to you the same day for any emails, if not no later than 24 hours. We know how hard it is to plan when you just need a question answered and we want to be there for you!
-
We send you BTS videos and photos
Throughout your wedding day, we will take behind-the-scenes photos and videos that we send you the day after the wedding. You can quickly relive the moments that mean something to you - from your first kiss to the packed dance floor!
