You Name It Events

We lucked out with a lot of great vendors for my daughter’s recent wedding, but choosing Leanne at You Name It Events was probably our best decision. As COVID raged on during the engagement year and our stress levels were off the charts, we realized that we needed help as the details kept changing but we didn’t want to change the wedding date. We pulled in Leanne a few months before the wedding and her day-of wedding coordination package had just the right amount of pre-event support and day-of expertise. She not only managed the rehearsal evening and the wedding day with a steady and kind

Leanne and the entire you name it events team were incredible! They made the wedding day stress free and run so perfectly! The intentional communication and assistance leading up to the wedding was so helpful. They captured my vision perfectly and executed it flawlessly. I couldn’t have imagined our special day without them. Very professional and experienced!! The knowledge and expertise they provide to help make wedding day the best it can be is priceless!

Simply put, Leanne/You Name It Events is the BEST! I am so happy with our decision to hire her to plan our wedding. She worked tirelessly to make sure we had everything we wanted and that at the end of the day we were happy. We worked with Leanne for over a year planning our wedding, and even though planning such a large event is stressful in general, I couldn't even imagine how stressed I would have been had we not worked with Leanne. She truly was (and still is!) a gift to us and helped create a beautiful and most special wedding for us. I don't know how she does it because working with crazy

If you're on the fence, hire a day-of coordinator--you won't regret it! We were contemplating not hiring a day-of coordinator because all of our other vendors (reception venue, church, & DJ) were super helpful, but we are SO happy that we ended up doing it! It was so nice to be able to sit down with Susan beforehand to talk through our vision for the big day and review any details that we may have missed, and her execution day of was flawless. She was always on top of communication with us, and it was a relief having her as our main point of contact to coordinate all details with all of the other

I am an anxious person by nature and knew that I would need a point-person on the day of my wedding in order to truly relax and enjoy myself. My husband and I were recently married and hired You Name It Events for their "week-of coordinating" package. Honestly, hiring You Name It was the BEST DECISION EVER. We worked with Leanne, Susan, and Jenn. Susan was our day-of coordinator and we cannot thank her enough for being the calm presence in an anxiety inducing environment. Susan and I were in contact for 3 months prior to the wedding and she reviewed all of my vendor contracts and planning documents

Worth Her Weight in Gold!
People are still raving about the wedding!. We utilized her Day Of Event Services, that included everything that needed to be done one month before the wedding. Included was advice, referrals, follow-up with vendors and on-site coordination. I am the Mother of the Bride and have had party planning experience with other events that I hosted but the services that YNI, provided were exceptional, allowing me to enjoy my own daughter's wedding. Leanne was knowledgeable with protocol, assessing the amounts of food and drink correctly, and addressing needs as they were presented

Leanne and Susan from You Name It Events in Geneva, IL provided exceptional attention to detail and a personal touch during the planning and supporting of our son and daughter-in-law’s wedding on May 11. We of course, thought we had everything outlined and ready to go with the events for this day. However, after meeting with Leanne/Susan, we quickly realized their experience and deep commitment did create that personal service and was emphasized on the day of the wedding. They were professional, but also politely direct when necessary, in their approach with the bridal party and parents, during

Leanne was the best decision we made for our wedding day. We got married downtown Chicago at a venue that had to have everything brought in day of (plates, silverware, glasses etc.) and broken down and taken out that night. I started researching wedding planners and everyone pointed me to Name It Events. On my discovery call with Leanne i knew right away I wanted to book her. She was so nice and super knowledgeable. I booked her immediately. Over the course of the year Leanne was very responsive to my questions over email and always willing to jump on a quick call. We had a few meetings leading

Leanne of You Name It Events coordinated my wedding last year and she was a literal lifesaver. Since we were on a budget, we didn't think we could afford a wedding planner, but reached out to Leanne anyway because of a recommendation from our venue. She created a specific package that fit our budget-- we didn't do a full-blown planner, but we met several times before the wedding and then she coordinated the weekend itself.
She was prompt, thoughtful, kind, and so, so organized. We were DIYing our whole wedding and if it weren't for her nothing would have come together. If you're a DIY-er, I heavily

Absolutely 5 star service & delivery all around. Hiring Leanne & her team was the absolute best decision I could have made and worth every penny (& then some!)
As a self-proclaimed "type AAA" person, I have trouble relinquishing control - particularly after spending over a year planning our wedding. Her attention to detail and genuine concern to ensure everything ran smoothly and according to plan were incredible. She really takes a lot of time to understand your "vision" and what's important to you - she also has impeccable taste, and I felt so comfortable handing the reigns over to her to execute
