Paris Events - Chicago, Illinois

We hired Niki + team for our rehearsal dinner and full service wedding planning. We knew she would be great because she was hired by family and friends for previous events but she was even better than we thought. My favorite thing was that no task was too big or too small for Niki, she did it all. She kept us organized and on track for a little over a year. We kept in consistent communication throughout the process— I never waited too long for a response or update and she always went above and beyond. Then her and Audrey were just perfect on our wedding day, especially with all the small random needs and moments that no one usually notices. They are a well oiled machine and we would highly recommend to anyone looking for an event team.

To say Niki & her team were helpful is such an understatement. Niki truly went above & beyond to make sure our wedding day exceeded any expectations we had. The work Niki & her team put in throughout the months prior & the day of helped us feel stress/worry free. It really allowed us to be present & enjoy every moment of our wedding day. I can’t imagine what it would have been like planning my wedding without them! Paris Events has become highly recommended to all brides I’ve spoken to since our experience working with them.

Niki and her team and the absolute BEST at what they do. I'm a local wedding photographer and I kid you not my wedding with Paris Events was my smoothest wedding of the entire year because of Niki and her team! They are so on top of EVERY detail and made sure their Darci and Dan could just sit back and enjoy their wedding day while they took care of every last detail. (and in turn, helped me photograph their wedding to the best of my ability too) If I could work every wedding with Niki and her team I absolutely would - hire them!!

You will have the TIME OF YOUR LIFE with Paris Events!!! We cannot recommend them enough, as we could not have had such an amazing day without Niki and her whole team! Look no further, Paris Events exactly who you want at your side on your Big Day!

From our very first consultation with Niki, all the way through our wedding day, we were blown away by the responsiveness, professionalism, and friendliness of Niki-- and then on our big day, by her assistants, Jennifer and Audrey as well. When it comes to weddings, Paris isn't just always a good idea-- Paris Events is the BEST idea and should be the very next decision by a couple after securing a venue. We both said on multiple occasions how fortunate we were that Niki/Paris Events was available for our wedding day when we booked. Looking back at it all, we cannot begin to imagine our wedding day without Paris Events by our side.

Our contract was for day-of coordination, which began 60 days before our wedding day, but we also added on decor support as we were planning our dream wedding from a time zone away and needed the expertise of someone local who had worked with the best floral/decor vendors in the area. This was a brilliant move, and we would recommend decor support to everyone. Not only did Niki work tirelessly to bring our vision to life, she handled the bulk of communications between our floral/decor vendors, Atmosphere Events Group and Elements Preserved, always checking in to make sure we were happy with what was coming to life.

When we arrived at our Big Day, recognizing all of the moving parts and the busy-ness of the day, Niki suggested we add another assistant, to which we agreed. Worth every penny. Having Niki, Jennifer, and Audrey made for flawless execution of every element of our day. Weeks later, when we reflect on our wedding day, the spectacular coordination by Paris Events is one of the first things we discuss. We're so grateful to Niki and her whole team for everything!!!!!

We highly recommend going with Niki and her team at Paris Events! We hired her team to help plan/coordinate both our rehearsal dinner and wedding day which involved a dinner downtown, an offsite ceremony, a large hotel reception, lot of logistics, lots of decor, and many vendors. Our guest were very wowed by both events and the decor/mood was on point for both events. Niki is a calming, trusted voice that helped us pull off a spectacular and stunning wedding that we will be dreaming about for the rest of our lives. There are a lot of unanticipated things that can happen before and during the wedding day and Niki/her team were always there to help us thoughtfully navigate it all!

Niki at Paris Events was a wonderful addition to our wedding. She is incredibly thoughtful, tremendously resourceful, and she kept us organized and on time. She was pragmatic about what was possible on our short time line and quick to come through with ideas and solutions.

We threw our wedding together quickly (and a little haphazardly) and were making off-the-cuff decisions right up until the end. My husband is a rebel and I don't really love to take direction, but Niki's gentle, but consistent requests for decisions kept us on track.

The day of the wedding Niki was practically invisible but somehow also ALWAYS there. She and her assistant set up our photos and mementos and everyone commented on how nice things looked. She also worked with the caterers and the photographers to make sure we ate privately during the first few minutes of cocktail hour. She was always polite but firm and always on our side. With just three months of planning and a lot of last minute additions, she helped us pull off exactly the wedding we wanted.

Thank you Niki and Paris Events, folks like you make us sad we're only get married once! <3 (Most photos are from Aspen Avenue)

I would have about lost my mind if it weren't for Audrey at Paris events. She is so organized and thoughtful about the way she approaches wedding planning. She also LOVES what she does so she never gets tired of answering questions (even though I asked an obscene amount). Potentially most importantly, she is calm, cool, and collected at all times. We ended up adding guests the week of our wedding and she made it seem like it was the easiest task ever (it was not). She was a great sounding board for all things wedding logistics and design, but also for random questions I had (like what do you think of this after party dress? Are the stripes on the back of this random stationary tacky?) that were certainly not within her duties as a partial planner. My entire bridal party and family loved working with her. She also brought an amazing day of helper (shout out Jennifer) and the other planner at Paris Events, Niki, came along on my wedding day to help without any extra charge, just because she wanted to see it all unfold. In short, Paris Events will go above and beyond to make your wedding day perfect, and will help you stay relaxed (and not become a bridezilla) in the process.

Booking Paris Events for our wedding was by far the best choice we made through the entire process! Niki was kind, patient, and infinitely resourceful - I don't think I've ever met anyone who is so calm & unflappable in all situations.
While the support we received leading up to the wedding was more than we could have ever anticipated, the care and effort that went into the big day was the most appreciated. There wasn't a single thing that the Paris Events team wasn't on top of; they made sure we were smooth sailing from start to finish.

If you're wondering if you should hire a planner, I assure you Paris Events will be not only your most worthwhile vendor decision, but also your favorite! 10/10, will be singing their praises for years to come.
