Working with Honey Hollow Events was one of the best choices we made during our wedding planning process. From the very first communication, they were organized, responsive, and reassuring. As our day-of coordinators, they took the time to understand our vision, our timeline, and every little detail we had planned, so that when the big day came, we could truly relax and enjoy it. The team handled everything seamlessly — confirming vendor arrivals, managing décor setup, keeping the schedule on track, and quietly solving any small issues that came up without ever disrupting the flow of the day. Every moment felt smooth and effortless, even though we know there was so much work happening behind the scenes. Our families and wedding party kept commenting on how calm and coordinated everything felt, and that’s entirely thanks to Honey Hollow Events.

Breann did such a great job helping us plan our wedding! My wife and I weren't sure if we wanted to have a month of coordinator, but we are so glad that we hired Breann. She helped my wife and I plan table placement, decoration set up and tear down, and she was prepared for a lot of the little things that we hadn't even thought of. She even brought us a plate of appetizers during our post ceremony photos so we weren't starving before the reception. All of the organization felt like it came so naturally to her and we never had to worry about communication with our vendors or who stands where and when. We had such a beautiful wedding and it ran smoothly thanks to Breann.

I cannot recommend Sarah enough! While I initially thought I just needed someone for the “day of,” I quickly realized how much goes into wedding coordination in the weeks and months leading up to the big day—and Sarah was there every step of the way. She went so far above and beyond what I ever expected, and I truly don’t know how I would have gotten through the wedding planning process, or the actual day, without her. From the moment we started working together, Sarah brought a sense of calm, professionalism, and thoughtfulness to everything. She is kind, incredibly organized, detail-oriented, and somehow manages to be both relaxed and hard-working at the same time. Every detail was thought through, every vendor was communicated with, and every little hiccup was handled before I even had time to worry about it. On my wedding day, I was able to be fully present and soak it all in, because I knew Sarah had everything under control. If you’re on the fence about whether you need a day-of coordinator, don’t overthink it—hire Sarah. She is a true gem, and you’ll be so glad to have her in your corner.

He enjoys watching movies (tries to see all the Oscar nominees), reading newspapers on his iPad, the Bears, summer concerts at the Chicago Botanic Garden and wine. He and his wife love to chat, listen to music and drink wine in front of their fireplace or in the backyard, depending on the season.

We feel so lucky to have had Reverend Phil as our officiant—he truly made our outdoor ceremony not only beautiful and memorable, but deeply meaningful. He brought the perfect balance of a religious tone with warmth and sincerity, creating an atmosphere that felt so personal and reflective of us as a couple. Every part of the ceremony was incredibly intentional. Reverend Phil involved us throughout the entire process, from approving the full script to holding a rehearsal on the grounds to ensure everything would go smoothly. He didn’t just officiate—he genuinely acted as a ceremony coordinator, stepping in when needed (including when the wind unexpectedly knocked over and broke our glass vases) and handling it all with calm and care. We can't recommend Reverend Phil enough to any couple looking for a ceremony that’s heartfelt, thoughtful, and truly unforgettable.

The Local Petaler 

5.0

  • Florist
  • Serves Hampshire, IL

The Local Petaler is a wedding and event floral design studio based in St. Charles, IL. The business started as a part-time venture just over 4 years ago in my mom's garage and quickly blossomed (awful pun) into a full-fledged career. With at least 100 weddings produced under The Local Petaler and countless others worked on as a freelance designer for other companies, I've done a little bit of everything at every venue. You're in good hands!

Jen absolutely stunned me with the flowers she showed up with on my wedding day. She made my vision a reality, and then some. She was mindful of our budget, had creative ideas that I never would have thought of, listened deeply, and was so kind and thoughtful when nudging me away from bad ideas :-) I would absolutely recommend her.

Awarded Best of Zola
From the moment we reached out to The BRIX on the Fox, their communication was effective, quick, and proactive. The team was there for anything we needed, going above and beyond to ensure our wedding day was perfect. The venue itself was beautiful, with great lighting and a spacious layout that allowed our guests to mingle comfortably. While they provided a list of preferred vendors, we found it worthwhile to look outside of their suggestions and were thrilled with the results. We couldn't have asked for a better experience, and highly recommend The BRIX on the Fox to any couple planning their wedding.
