We just got married in November and whole-heartedly recommend Charlene and her team to any couple looking to have the wedding of their dreams. We did and it was, in large part, due to Charlene. We used her full planning services and are completely thrilled that we did. We had a wedding with about 170 guests in Chicago. We got engaged shortly after I graduated from law school and were beginning to plan our wedding while I was studying for the bar and job searching. We desperately needed the help of a wedding planner. We did a bit of online searching (mostly on yelp) to try and find a highly rated planner at a reasonable cost. I called around to a few planners to get price quotes and a feel for their services and it was an interesting experience. One quoted me a price that nearly made me spit out my coffee, another told me that I absolutely could not have a wedding in Chicago with our estimated number of guests for our budget, and another didn’t even return my phone call. Then we found Charlene and Sweetchic and it was smooth sailing from there on out. We sent in an inquiry through the Sweetchic website and within ten minutes we received an e-mail from Charlene about setting up an initial consultation with her. We met her at her loft space and just chatted for awhile about us, what we envisioned for a wedding, and how the planning process would work - by the end of our meeting my husband and I knew that Charlene was the right planner for us! The price was absolutely reasonable and we felt completely at ease with Charlene. At the time we started planning with Charlene we had only settled on our wedding date (about 17 months from our initial meeting) and our church. We needed Charlene to help with everything. And she did just that, and then some! Charlene offers a wonderful blend of knowledge, organization, creativity, style, and approachability. She answered every single one of our (many) e-mails, and was so much fun to work with. I won’t say that wedding planning was completely stress free – we a had a few issues to deal with – but those issues were the sole source of stress for us and we owe that to Charlene. We didn’t spend a single second worrying about or second guessing anything that Charlene helped us with. We also didn’t have to spend time worrying about the next thing we should be doing, Charlene made sure we were on track with planning and reminded us when there was something we had to do. My husband and I are both type A, only children and feel the need to compulsively research anything and everything before making a decision. Charlene saved us from ourselves. She recommended incredibly awesome vendors to us – often they were people she had worked with many times before and we loved that – it was wonderful to know that Charlene had experience working with the vendors and continued to recommend them to her clients. She did a great job recommending vendors to us based on our preferences, interests, style, and budget. There was more than one instance that, after meeting with potential vendors, my husband and I spent a couple of hours trying to choose which one to go with because Charlene did such a great job with her recommendations. She accompanied us on all of our vendor meetings, knew the right questions to ask, and took care of all the follow up. The day of the wedding was an absolute breeze. We had Charlene with us on the day of as well as her awesome assistant planner, Courtney. We have been repeatedly complimented on how smoothly everything seemed to go on the day of the wedding – and it really did. There is absolutely nothing at all we would change about our wedding day. We cannot say enough good things about Charlene and Sweetchic Events or recommend them highly enough. They’re the best!!

When we tell people our wedding was perfect in every way, we truly mean it. And that is in large part due to the help that Courtney provided us as our wedding coordinator. She was simply the best! A day of wedding coordinator (which ended up being support that started two months out, thank goodness) was something that was not originally in our budget, but when we were thinking about what we wanted for our day - not to feel stressed, not to have to worry about the small details, to just enjoy the party - we starting researching coordinators. I looked at about 4 different vendors before landing on SweetChic. What won me over was that in our first conversation over the phone, Courtney got right down to business. She started giving me great ideas about things to be thinking about for our wedding night. Like, when the sunset is scheduled so that we can make sure our cocktail hour outside wouldnt end up being in the dark. We wanted someone who was going to help us make decisions, not just coordinate what was already planned. Courtney did just that. Not only was she super helpful, responsive, and fun to work with, SweetChics rates are extremely affordable for what you get. Courtney started working with us 2 months out, took over all the coordination with the vendors (which was a lifesaver), developed our day of timeline, coordinated our walk through at the venue, and managed the ceremony rehearsal. The day of, she was everywhere she needed to be so that our wedding literally went off without a hitch. She even had an Associate with her the day of so that they could divide and conquer. From grabbing us for the toasts, to making sure we had chairs for the hora, Courtney did not miss a beat. My husband and I tell eachother that she was the best investment we made...and its true! Without Courtney, our wedding would definitely not have been as stress-free and blissful as it was. Thank you Courtney - you made our day!

If youre looking into a wedding planner, stop looking and contact Sweetchic Events! When my husband and I first got engaged, we werent sure if we wanted to use a wedding planner or not but were SO HAPPY that we did, and SO GLAD that we found Charlene and Sweetchic Events! After cruising the internet and yelp reviews, I found Sweetchic, and after a quick phone call with Charlene I knew she was who we wanted to work with. We live in New York City and got married in Chicago and from the start she made everything so easy and fun for us, even though we werent in the same state. She took lots of care in helping us plan site visits and vendor appointments when they fit in with our already scheduled trips to the Midwest, and did a great job communicating with us and with vendors when we werent able to meet face to face. My husband and I were both very laid back in the wedding process, and at times unsure of what exactly we wanted to do outside of keeping it laid back, fun, and chic at the same time. She did an amazing job of taking our ideas, personalities and preferences and finding the perfect vendors for us to use. She asked vendors all of the questions that we never would have thought to bring up and was super helpful at explaining all of the different components that went into our wedding. We got married at The Ivy Room in September and the day was truly perfect. Charlene took all of the stress out of our wedding day and took care of all of the last minute little details and requests so that we could focus on enjoying everything. The day was everything we could have hoped for and never would have been possible without Charlene and her team at Sweetchic!
