When we hired Sweetchic Events my husband and I already had a vision of what we wanted for our wedding, but needed someone professional and organized to help us pull together all the details of our big day. When we came to Charlene, we had already selected our venue and our caterers, but Charlene helped us find a florist, makeup artist, limo service, linen company and many other vendors - essentially helping us complete our vision and providing the "glue" to pull it all together. I am a very hands-on person with a very clear picture of what I wanted, and Charlene helped make great suggestions when I was unsure of how to execute something. She was a trusted sounding board to bounce ideas off of and she helped me focus on all the millions of details that go into planning a wedding. On the big day she handled our 24 vendors (yes 24!) and last-minute issues (which always seem to pop up) with composure and professionalism and allowed us to enjoy our day without distraction. While we were on our honeymoon, she even helped take care of some post-wedding details, which she didnt have to do, but that we really appreciated. Our family and friends were very impressed with how smoothly the event ran and a lot of that was due to Charlenes behind the scenes efficiency. If you want to be able to enjoy the day you worked so hard to plan, having a planner is an absolute must. We could not have had such a successful event without Charlene and we would highly recommend her to any couple!

My husband and I were planning our wedding in Chicago remotely from NY, and in only 5 mths! We knew we would need the help of a planner and I was confident that Charlene was meant to be after I heard about her through two independent recommendations! We first spoke to her on the phone, and she was extremely professional and knowledgeable. We were at peace that our wedding would be in good hands. We only made a couple trips to Chicago for wedding planning, and Charlene was flexible and efficient in what things we had to get done during those visits. She really interpreted our tastes well and chose excellent vendors for us to choose from. She has accomplished a perfect balance between illustrating the dream wedding of the couple with utilizing her professional opinion when needed. She definitely let our opinion and vision shine, and I always appreciated her expert opinion when we had trouble deciding. On the day of, things couldnt have gone more smoothly. She kept things moving and took care of issues when they arose. Our wedding wouldnt have happened without her, and it wouldnt have been as perfect without her either! After our experience, I always recommend hiring a wedding planner to friends and family planning a wedding. I would also recommend hiring Charlene for those in the Chicago area!

I was probably the most relaxed and laid-back bride youve ever seen on her wedding day. The reason I was so relaxed on our big day was due to the fact that I knew we were in good hands thanks to Charlene and her team at Sweetchic Events. Charlene definitely knows her stuff. She was beyond helpful throughout the whole wedding planning process and knows all the in and outs of weddings. I was actually really anxious when meeting with vendors because I dont know anything when it comes to weddings. Luckily for me, Charlene was always there with me with helpful advice and suggestions. On our wedding day my husband and I were able to relax and enjoy the day without having to worry about anything else. Hollie and Jessica of Sweetchic Events made sure everything was in order and the day went by without a problem. I did find out later on that there were some glitches here and there but I never knew anything was wrong because Hollie and Jessica took care of it right away without having to bother me. My husband and I had so much fun on our wedding day and I owe it all to Charlene, Hollie, and Jessica at Sweetchic Events! Thank you girls for all your hard work and taking such good care of us on our big day!

We hired Charlene from SweetChic Events a little over 6 months before the wedding. I was reluctant at first, mainly because I was the DIY type and wanted to do everything myself. But as time drew closer, we were behind in many things, including vendors for flowers, music, lighting, linens... I was still searching for my dress at the time. Needless to say, I was getting stressed and pressed for time, and thats when Charlene came in. She helped us in more ways than I imagined. Not only did she narrow down vendors for us, she made sure we were getting the best service for the best price. Aside from listening to us about all the crazy little details we want and at the same time, trying to incorporate it into our wedding, Charlene provided honest, down to earth advice. She kept us to our budget (which I can honestly say, I would not have been able to do on my own.) And best of all, Charlene was very understanding and she was able to work with my crazy work schedule for meetings with her and vendors. I cannot tell you how much our guests as well as my husband and I enjoyed the wedding Charlene helped put together. It was a perfectly SweetChic wedding.

We just got married and used Sweet Chic Events to plan our wedding. Charlene Liang is the reason we were able to enjoy our wedding day. We were very overwhelmed with where to start for a downtown wedding. Charlene helped us narrow down venues and vendors while staying within our budget. She guided us through the whole process answering our endless questions, offering suggestions along the way. She is extremely organized with monthly to-do lists, planning time line, budgeting information, and calendar reminders. Charlene took control of the wedding day details, organized all of the vendors and worked directly with the venue director. She arranged our wedding day itinerary making sure we were all in the right place at the right time. We were really able to enjoy our ceremony and reception with our friends and family because she orchestrated the whole day. We would highly recommend her to anyone planning a wedding, especially in Chicago. Without Charlene we would not have been able to enjoy ourselves at our own wedding.

These guys are absolutely AMAZING, over the top good at what they do. We hired them late (3 weeks before the wedding.) We had a 200 person hotel wedding, sushi chefs, champagne fountains, photobooth, string orchestra, multiple catering companies, desert tables, and more -- on top of all the other typical wedding items....it was an absolute madhouse with how much stuff was going on, and my wife and I were sure something would go wrong...but SweetChic, especially Hollie, literally memorized our entire wedding. She is a machine. She was early for every meeting, took care of every single vendor, even when problems arose with some of the hotel staff, Hollie stepped in and kept them from ruining the night. All in all, not a single problem occurred and the wedding went off PERFECTLY. We would glady pay triple what they charged us -- they are that good. If you want more details, ask me and Ill tell you how amazing they are ... SweetChic goes so far above and beyond for us, its just OVER THE TOP!!
