Chicagoland Suburbs Day-of Wedding Coordinator and Planner

Start your marriage with firm roots beginning with your wedding day

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

Chicago Suburbs Wedding Coordinators are not just for the Wedding Day

“Day-of Coordination” might imply that we really only show up on your wedding day, but it’s very seldom the case for most Chicagoland wedding coordinators. We want to be fully prepared for your wedding provide you with the best services while still being practical. With Firmly Rooted Events, you start working with us when you book and begin your “open door policy” where you can ask any questions or get any advice you need along the wedding planning journey. We also look over your selected Chicago suburbs wedding vendors’ contracts and provide you with planning resources before we even get down to the meat of our work! We will have pre-wedding meetings to put together your timeline, walk through your Chicagoland wedding venue, coordinate your ceremony rehearsal, and then finally to the actual wedding day!

Frequently Asked Questions:

  • Most likely, yes! Most of our couples book us 8-12 months before their wedding day, but if you've realized you need coordination services as soon as 2 months before your wedding, we can always help if we are available!

  • Our services extend to timeline creation, confirming with your vendors, coordinating your rehearsal, lining everyone up for the ceremony, setting up decorations, bustling your dress... The list is endless! Head over to our Services page to learn more.

  • We do offer partial planning services for couples that just don't want to scour the internet for some of their key Chicagoland wedding vendors!
