Qiana was my event coordinator for a complex fundraiser at the iCan Dream Center containing many moving parts and novel ideas needing flawless execution. Qiana and her team never sweat, treated me and each one of our team members and donors with gentle kindness and swift responsiveness. Qiana is a true professional. Her expertise in events allowed me to focus on fundraising details which helped me accomplish our goal to raise mission critical funds while our guests enjoyed a beautiful evening! Thank you, Madison Elyse Events! We are grateful to have you on our team for future fundraising events!

I recently hosted my LeAnn Drake Hair Care launch party and birthday celebration at ME Events, and the experience was absolutely fantastic! The space is stunning, with a warm and welcoming ambiance that created the perfect setting for my celebration.

Qiana, the owner, is absolutely wonderful—she is professional, and very communicative, ensuring that everything we needed was taken care of with ease.

The venue is located in a quiet area with plenty of parking, which made it convenient for all our guests. If you’re looking for a beautiful, well-maintained space to host your event, ME Events is definitely the place to choose.

Thank you, Qiana and ME Events, for providing such an amazing space for my special day!

We had such a great experience with Qiana and the Madison Elyse Events Team! Qiana helped me plan a wedding in under 6 months during the busiest wedding season of the year all while I was out of town! Qiana was attentive, easy to work with and professional. She was also very well-versed in Indian weddings and was able to make great recommendations on culture-specific vendors. She attended all of my vendor meetings with me or for me even when I wasn't able to! Two days before our wedding, the forecast was showing rain and Qiana was able to secure a secondary location. We didn't end up needing it but knowing that she was willing to go above and beyond on all fronts made us feel confident! Her staff was also incredibly helpful during the wedding! I can't recommend her and her team enough!!

From the very first time meeting Qiana, she was the absolute best with communication. We just completed my wedding 6/27/21, and I have been working with her since day 1. She was there for me through phone, text, and email literally 7 days a week. I loved that she I would give her professional opinion when need be, but would leave all of the decision making to the client. I’ve taken a lot of her advice, just because this was all new to me, and she has many years of experience in the industry. Her advice was the absolute best. Each vendor that we have worked with was amazing, and they all said that Madison Elyse Events did a great job with the timeline, and keeping them up-to-date. Some vendors I didn’t even speak to, only for payment. I can’t thank this company and their team enough for the beautiful memories of our wedding, and also a stress-free day. Highly recommend!

Madison Elyse Events is the best ever! Qiana and her staff are amazing! Since day 1 Qiana has been on her game. Everything I asked or showed her I wanted she was on top of it from floral arrangements to bakers. Whoever she recommended they were top notch. She kept me organized and on a timeline, something I truly needed. On the event day, Qiana makes sure that everything is how it should be and keeps everything orderly. I would highly recommend Madison Elyse Events for any event and would gladly use this company again. #satisfiedbride #MEEbride #Lovemyweddingplanner #LoveQiana

I had the pleasure of working with Qiana this past June. She was very professional and was always available to handle any of my questions and concerns. I had my 40th birthday celebration and Qiana was able to bring my vision to life. She listened to all my ideas and gave great advice where needed. To add to the challenge the weather forecast put a dent in plans and she was able to help me quickly arrange a plan B that was just as fabulous. Everyone raved about the celebration afterwards.

I would definitely recommend Madison Elyse Events for any special event planning.

Madison Elyse Events

When my now husband and I first met with Qiana Turner of Madison Elise events the world was just locked down. We had already booked a venue because we knew wedding season was upon us. That's all we had done. Qiana was referred to us by Tawanda Sims of Elite Events in Ft Lauderdale. Our initial meeting with Qiana was through Zoom. She has a very kind spirit and bubbly personality. She asked what was our vision and she made it happen. Qiana did all of the research of each vendor making sure they were the right fit for us. If we did not have Qiana I know for sure we would have eloped. She kept us(me) from being stressed. She is very organized and meticulous. She kept a schedule of all of our payments and meetings. If time went by and we hadn't spoken to each other she'd call, text, zoom or email to make sure we were doing well. The weekend of the wedding I was so nervous that my vision would not be how I saw it in my head. Qiana told me to relax and not to worry. The day of the wedding she was in work mode. EVERYTHING went off without a hitch. The wedding was on time. And the reception was AMAZING!!! Our first look of our space took my breath away! It was everything I wanted and more. Madison Elise Events is one of the top event planners in the Chicago area. If you are in search of an event planner or just thinking about getting one, just call Qiana Turner of Madison Elise Events. She will save your sanity and make sure you have the day of your dreams. In fact, I think she's worth so much more than she charges. Booked her! You will be happy you did. Im so happy to say that Qiana is more like family to us now . We love her so much.

Madison Elyse Events is fabulous at what they do. There is no other way to say it. We hired Qiana to be our day of coordinator. Even in the months leading up to the wedding she was there every step of the way, ensuring that our wedding was executed flawlessly. She helped us clear a huge hurdle with one of our vendors and met with us regularly to discuss wedding details. The day of the wedding she was calm, and collected; flawlessly directing and instructing vendors as well as the wedding party. The wedding was beautiful and I did not have to stress as the bride. If you want a stress free day, do yourself a favor and hire Madison Elyse Events.
