Weddings By Denise, Inc.

Denise and her team were excellent! Very friendly, knowledgeable, and responsive. BEST money we spent at the wedding!

Denise was our day of wedding planner for our November wedding and we couldn't be happier with her services! We hired her for peace of mind and feel we got that plus more. She met with us a couple times to develop a timeline that went exactly according to plan, worked with all our vendors on last minute requests, and met with the venue to ensure they had everything in place by the time the wedding day arrived.Another important thing to note about Denise is her great personality that makes her so easy to work with. She was so flexible and happy to help with any details prior to the day to make sure we weren't stressed about any of the planning. We got a couple comments from other vendors that they were happy we chose Denise as our coordinator. They enjoyed working with her and she was never pushy when getting everyone aligned on the timeline and details. Denise is worth every penny and her assistant, Jennifer, was great too! Jennifer had a good eye for style and helped set up our reception decorations and tables which looked awesome. Everything was perfect and these two did a wonderful job contributing to our fabulous day. Thanks ladies!!

Denise was great. The ceremony was romantic, special, and unique. Everything that was said was perfect and magical.

When we began to plan our wedding, we knew that we wanted something that was very personal for our ceremony and that we wanted to exclude religion from our wording without making the ceremony soulless. My wife (still getting used to saying that after less than a week, but it's a good thing) happened upon Denise's website and contacted her for rates, information, etc. From the beginning, Denise was easy to talk to through e-mail and when we met in person with her, it just clicked. She was down-to-earth and also very personable. When she suggested the option of a handfasting ceremony when we mentioned not being thrilled with the typical unity candle or sand options, that was when we knew we had the right person. Being able to see our ceremony script and tweak it and having someone who would suggest different options without being pushy at all was great. On the day of rehearsal, despite nerves affecting family and leading to some really goofy behavior, she kept everyone on task and made sure we were happy with everything. On the day of, her calm professionalism and prompt timing got everyone ready to go without feeling rushed or nervous. I would highly recommend her services to others in the future.

Denise was wonderful to work with, and really made me feel at ease. I really enjoyed my experience with her, as she always got back to me quickly, answered all my questions, and really helped make our ceremony a very personal and memorable one. I would recommend her to anyone who is looking for a wedding planner/officiant who personable and really seems to care about making your big day special.

Denise was great to work with, always very calm and professional.

Denise is awesome! We used her for her officiant service and she was incredible! She was very flexible and even calmed me down right before my ceremony. Denise was very helpful through the whole process. I have been giving her name out to everyone I know getting married.

We had Denise as our ceremony officiant for our wedding this Auguest. She is very easy to work with and flexible; also provided many useful information when we need it. We will definitely recommend her to our friends in the future.

Denise is a wonderful resource and a great investment. She made countless phone calls, orchestrated details, provided options, ran the rehearsal and wedding ceremony and continually updated our timelines. This is only a partial list of her skills and contributions. She is a true professional and has a great staff. Denise was available throughout the process, was a great support but most of all - you will love working with her. We did! She is amazing!

Denise is awesome. She worked with us to make our ceromony personal to us. Denise also sent many reminders to me for info that she needed so that she made sure to she could do the best possible ceromony ever. Everything was great and I would highly recoomend her to others. In fact a friend of mine is using her services in a few months.

Denise was our officiant for our July 2011 wedding & we could not have been more pleased with her services. Her background as a planner is a great asset and she was incredibly flexible with what my husband and I wanted our ceremony to sound & feel like. She was also very patient with our very vocal family members at the rehearsal. We would recommend Denise as an officiant for anyone who is looking for a professional and personalized ceremony.

Denise created the most intimate and personal wedding ceremony for us. She was extremely helpful in answering all of our questions, always available to contact - and respond - quickly, and her personality and demeanor wowed our wedding guests-they loved her as much as we did.

Denise was wonderful to work with and paid close attention to what the bride wanted and needed, not what other people or vendors wanted.

I would totally recommend Denise to anyone. She was so helpful and made me feel like nothing could go wrong on my wedding day! I know some people aren’t sure if they should spend the extra money for a wedding coordinator (I was one of these people) but it is WORTH IT. I lived a few hours from where our wedding was going to be held and Denise was able to provide me with great recommendations for vendors which reduced the amount of trips I needed to take into the Chicago-land area. Denise went above and beyond on everything, I can’t thank her enough! On our wedding day we had two of her assistants helping us, Kathleen and Manny, they were also extremely helpful! If you are looking for an excellent wedding coordinator look no further, this is it!

Denise did not just perform a ceremony that we would remember she allowed us to become a part of the process and make the ceremony our own. We were provided with a choices of what our ceremony would consist of and we made the decision based on our own needs and wants. She was well spoken and very freindly with all of the guests.Furthermore, we were an out of state wedding and she provided us with much assistance in the beginning planning stages. Denise took her own time to go out to locations and take photo's of places we could hold the ceremony, she suggested resturants, and photographers. I would recommend Weddings by Denise, Inc. to anyone who is looking for a personal ceremony with the assistance of a planner who knows the business.

Denise was on of the best decisions my husband and i made in regards to planning for our wedding. We were able to rely on her knowing that everything was going to be covered. She helped to make our day even more special that it could be.

After a long search I finally came across Denise. So happy I did! She did a wonderful job. She was more then professional and always returned my calls/emails quick. She was so easy to work with and gave us many options for the ceremony. She was flexible and made changes to fit our style of ceremony. Couldn't have asked for a better officiant! Highly recommended.

I had such a great time planning my wedding with Denise from Weddings by Denise. She did all of the leg work and made things simple for me. In the last few weeks before my wedding she was there every step of the way, reasuring me, and double checking on vendors. I did not have to worry about last min vendor payments as she had everything covered. She created a timeline for the day of the wedding which was beyond helpful for myself, the bridal party and the vendors. Any questions or concerns I had were responded to promptly, my wedding went smoothly with no stress thanks to Denise and Manny! I would reccomend her, Manny and Denises services to all brides!

The Wedding Planners at Weddings By Denise are very attentive to a bride and eases any nerves or stress that a bride tends to get. They were felxible with any changes and did the changes in a timely manner. They went over every contract and sent me reminders of when payments were due. Denise, came to my final meetings with my vendors and reviewed contracts and asked questions I didn't even think to ask. Everything at the ceremony and reception ran perfectly and on time. She passed out all my tips to my vendors and made sure everything was in place for the "Big Day". She was always available to speak to me and always responded to my questions quickly. She knows her business and she knows it well. I'm the second person in my family to use her services. I will be referring Weddings by Denise to all of my friends and family who plan a wedding. Booking Weddings by Denise was the best choice I made for my wedding planning. It took so much pressure off!!!

I have only good things to say about Denise and her team! Despite the juggle of working with both my mom (who lives in Naperville) and myself - via phone from New York City - for our Naperville wedding, she was consistently on top of things. I appreciate her reachability and responsiveness, something I might have been concerned about, being an "off-site" bride, however, she made herself available even late into the night to accommodate phone calls after my late work days. Very personable on the phone and in person, and put my mind at ease on the big day. Highly recommend!
