Paris Events

Fantastic experience: Our wedding was a fairytale thanks to the help of Niki and her team at Paris Events. Every detail was perfection. Niki was attentive, organized, thorough, and so caring! As was the rest of the entire team.. we truly appreciate all that they have done and can’t thank them enough! It was everything we would have wanted and more.

Fantastic experience: If you’re considering hiring a wedding planner, look no further. Niki and the Paris Events team are the best investment you can make. From start to finish, they went above and beyond to make our wedding an absolute dream. By the time our big day arrived, their team truly felt like family. We lost count of how many guests told us it was the best wedding they had ever attended and how seamless the entire experience felt. All of that was thanks to Niki and her incredible attention to detail, design expertise, and flawless execution of guest experience and timelines. Niki’s use of the Aisle Planner platform was a game changer, helping us stay on top of every task and deadline. She constantly checked in, offered help, and took as much off our plate as possible. The time and care she devoted to us were unmatched. She often stayed beyond our scheduled meetings to ensure we were fully prepared, responded to emails and texts almost instantly, and guided us through every decision with confidence and ease. Niki also helped us get the best deals from our vendors, stretching our budget further than we ever thought possible and turning all our ideas, even the niche ones, into reality. And just when we thought things couldn’t get any better, we met Jennifer the night before our wedding. She was by our side for the rehearsal dinner and the entire wedding day, anticipating our every need and allowing us to be fully present. She truly felt like our personal assistant, and by the end of the night, like part of our family. We cannot thank Niki, Jennifer, and the entire Paris Events team enough for making our wedding day the best day of our lives. They are simply the best in the business.

Fantastic experience: My husband and I had the most perfect experience working with Niki and everyone at Paris Events. You will not find anyone more thorough, organized, caring, and determined than Niki. I have to start calling her my fairy God-Mother because she made all my wedding dreams come true! She was on-top of every aspect, gave wonderful suggestions when we were stuck, noticed moments of me being overwhelmed, and handled it with such quick timing and grace. On top of being superwoman, everything she did, she did with a smile on her face. She is so passionate about making others feel like royalty on their big day, and that's what we loved most about her. Our entire engagement and wedding day went so smoothly thanks to her, Audrey, and Jennifer. Audrey was my wingwoman for the day and felt like I had a big sister watching over me. Jennifer is by far the best hype-woman we've ever met and brought so many smiles and laughter to everyone involved. I will forever recommend Niki and Paris Events as a whole to every girl I know entering their engaged era! Hire them now!

Fantastic experience: Niki was an incredible wedding planner. She was exceptionally easy to work with and anticipated every one of our needs before they happened. Wedding planning can be a very stressful process and her professionalism made us feel at ease throughout the entire process and her depth of experience consistently shined through. Her communication was also always timely and thoughtful. Every single detail was thoroughly developed and executed perfectly by Niki and her team. Wedding days can also be chaotic and hectic, ours went off seamlessly with Niki and team taking care of even the smallest logistical factors. We truly would have been lost without Niki’s guidance and are grateful for her planning & coordinating a perfect wedding!

Fantastic experience: 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)

Fantastic experience: If you’re debating whether to hire a wedding planner, stop debating and do it! As someone who has organized many large events myself, I was initially skeptical about how much value a planner could really add. From the moment we connected with Niki at Paris Events, that skepticism disappeared. Niki was on top of every detail from day one. Having planned countless weddings, she thought of things we never would have considered — details that elevated our celebration beyond what we could have ever imagined. She has incredible connections across the industry, from florists and dance floors to bands and stationery, and her experience shows in every recommendation. Beyond her expertise, Niki was knowledgeable, patient, kind, and genuinely cared about us as people, not just clients. There wasn’t a moment during our wedding day that I had to think about anything other than marrying the love of my life, and that’s a gift that is truly priceless.

Fantastic experience: I’d give 10 stars if possible. Audrey and the Paris Events team was the BEST to work with. Amazing organization, communication, and positive attitude. Audrey was a huge reason our wedding went off without a hitch! (Or if there was a hitch we didn’t know about it). We recommend to anyone and everyone!

Fantastic experience: Niki and the Paris Events team are INCREDIBLE. My husband and I cannot even start to say how thankful we were to have them help us with our wedding. Niki is so organized and really truly cares about all of the details. Everything came together so perfectly and it was all because of Niki and her team. If you are getting married, use them!!! You will not regret it.

Fantastic experience: Niki and her team allowed us to have the wedding of our dreams! She was extremely professional, diligent, and detail-oriented, and her experience meant that the whole process was as minimally stressful as it could be. The Paris team had an immaculate eye for design, and was particularly talented at making our specific vision come to life. Niki's vendor relationships meant that we got the best deals and the highest quality, and we honestly could not have been happier with the result. We will remember our wedding day as one of immense beauty and joy, remarkably stress free, because Paris Events did such an amazing job ensuring that everything was accounted for. And throughout the planning process, everything was clear, well-explained, and easy to keep track of. Our day-of timeline was measured in 5 minute increments, and the coordination behind the scenes was unbelievable. The end result was that we got to sit back and truly enjoy everything about the day of our dreams. We considered many different planners, but Niki was far and away the best, and her services were worth every penny.

Fantastic experience: Audrey is the GOAT wedding planner. I do not have enough good words to say about her. I would give 10 stars if I could. If you have any doubts about using Paris Events /Audrey get my number from them and I’ll talk you into it.

Fantastic experience: Absolutely Incredible Experience with Audrey and the Paris Events Team! SHORT VERSION: Do yourself a favor and hire this team!! You will not regret it!! 100/10 stars!! LONG VERSION: This will be one of my favorite reviews to write!! We inquired to Audrey & Paris Events for partial planning for our June 2025 wedding, and I truly cannot recommend her and the team enough. From our first meeting, Audrey brought a sense of calm, clarity, and genuine excitement to the planning process. I’ll never forget during our first meeting when she asked me the three most important things to me to make my wedding everything I wanted it to be. Simple questions like that and I knew right away she was in this process with me and truly cared almost as much I did (hard to beat the bride). Even though we didn’t book full-service wedding planning, it never felt like we were on our own, Audrey was incredibly responsive, supportive, and proactive from start to finish. She was always in our corner advocating for our vision to 6+ vendors at a time. She stepped in exactly when and where we needed her most, from creating a seamless timeline, to connecting us with top-notch vendors, to coordinating the final details that made the entire day feel effortless. Her attention to detail is impeccable, and she had an amazing ability to see both the big picture and the little things that make a day feel extra special. Our monthly planning sessions kept me on track and the system they use for wedding planning and budgeting is 10/10!! On our wedding day, Audrey was our MVP. Everything ran perfectly, and I didn’t have to worry about a single thing. She and her team handled behind-the-scenes logistics, kept everything on schedule, and made sure every detail we envisioned came to life. I was able to be fully present and enjoy every moment, truly the greatest gift a bride could ask for. Even the unexpected and totally unpredictable things like dirt on my wedding dress (Audrey had a cleaning kit), when I tripped in the middle of the street (Audrey had a first aid kit), 110 degree weather (Audrey and her team had portable fans), missing vow book (Audrey rewrote them), Chicago heat flattening my curls (Audrey had a curling iron), etc. etc. etc. All fun and laughable memories to look back on because Audrey’s team handled everything with grace and efficiency because they were prepared. Even Audrey’s assistant was the most magical human who was able to spend the day with my husband keeping the men on track, eating, and looking snazzy!! If you’re on the fence about hiring a planner, or wondering if it’s worth it.. do it, and hire Audrey. Her expertise, warmth, and dedication exceeded every expectation. Our wedding day was the most beautiful, stress-free celebration, and I’m convinced it wouldn’t have been the same without them. Actually, I could not imagine my day without her and her team… SO GRATEFUL!!!

Fantastic experience: I don't even know how to put into words how thankful we are for Niki and the Paris Events team. From day 1, they made us feel so comfortable and answered any and all questions we had. They are punctual, positive, respectful and honest throughout the wedding planning process. Wedding planning can of course be a stressful time, but we barely felt any stress because of Paris Events. We live out of town, so there were a few more hoops to jump through when planning our wedding. They were always on top of everything, worked with our hectic schedule and supported us through every step of the way. We got so many compliments on how everything came together, but more importantly, how smooth the day went! I could not recommend Paris Events more.

Fantastic experience: Niki and her team planned my Daughter's wedding and the welcome party the night before. They were simply amazing. My daughter and her now husband live out of town so they relied heavily on Niki and her entire team to make sure everything was planned perfectly. They did not disappoint. My daughter literally said it was the best day of her life. Thank you Paris events Chicago for making my daughter's wedding dream come true.

Fantastic experience: We absolutely love working with Niki and the team at Paris Events. As a wedding band, we’ve been lucky enough to team up with her on multiple events and every time it’s such a great experience. She’s incredibly organized, easy to communicate with and just brings such a positive energy to the entire planning process. By the time the big day arrives, everything runs super smoothly which makes a huge difference for all the vendors and the happy couples! We always look forward to working with Niki and look forward to working with again! --TVK Orchestra

Fantastic experience: Audrey and the Paris Events team helped make our special day seamless, organized, and enjoyable for all. From our initial contact with Audrey around 6 weeks out, she gave us full confidence in her ability to tie up all of our loose ends and ensure a great day -- and she delivered! Her thoughtful approach to vendor coordination, timelines and organization, and interaction with our family and guests was unbeatable. We would recommend Audrey and the Paris Events team to any couple getting married. They were the best!

Fantastic experience: 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.

Fantastic experience: 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.

Fantastic experience: 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.

Fantastic experience: Niki was such a pleasure to work with and her attention to detail kept us on top or our timeline and schedule. Having Niki and her assistant, Jennifer, with us the day of allowed us to relax and truly enjoy every moment of the entire day. Thanks again Niki!!!!

Fantastic experience: Niki and her team at Paris are absolutely the best!! Niki is competent, firm and on top of everything without being annoying and pushy. She took a day --my daughter's wedding-- to zero anxiety where we could just take in the day and enjoy it! Thanks Niki you are awesome!!

Fantastic experience: We really cannot recommend Paris Events enough—they are worth every penny. We planned our Chicago wedding from San Francisco and hired Paris Events as month-of coordinators—but they were so much more than that. Audrey provided helpful tips, timelines, and recommendations—all while being respectful of our vision, preferences, and budget. Additionally, on top of normal wedding logistics, our wedding hit some last-minute weather, traffic, and transportation issues, and Audrey had to create and execute a full Plan B. It was so good that most of our guests had no idea it wasn’t Plan A! Audrey and her assistant Jennifer kept everything organized and running smoothly amidst chaos, all while exuding kindness, warmth, and calm. They truly allowed us to have and enjoy our incredible once-in-a-lifetime day!

Fantastic experience: 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!!

Fantastic experience: 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!

Fantastic experience: Amazing group. Beyond perfection.

Fantastic experience: 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.

Fantastic experience: Cannot recommend Paris Events enough! Niki made the wedding planning experience enjoyable and stress free as a bride. Her and her colleague Audrey were on site at my wedding at the Langham, and they did an amazing job making sure the night was spectacular!

Fantastic experience: Working with Paris Events was simply Amazing! Audrey was the absolute best to work with! Could not have planned this destination wedding from afar without her! It was so nice to have someone I could trust with boots on the ground coordinating the local vendors for me and then answering all the questions day of for all the people that I would not have been able to, because you know I was getting married! At first planners weren't in our budget, but I am so glad my mom and I were able to stretch the numbers just a little bit to make it happen! I would have been lost without Audrey at Paris Events!

Fantastic experience: 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!!!!!

Fantastic experience: I knew I wanted a month of or day of coordinator but right when I talked to Paris Events, I knew I was getting so much more!! Audrey and Nikki were SO on top of every single detail. Their attention to detail and positive attitude kept me from falling apart during the planning process and having them both on the day of my wedding was like adding two friends to the day :) I cannot recommend this team more!! You won't regret it!

Fantastic experience: I would give Niki and her team 10 out of 5 stars if I could. My daughter’s wedding ran without one hitch - could not have done it without them! Absolute pro’s! Efficient, kind, communicative, attention to detail - all i’s dotted and t’s crossed! Thank you Paris Events!!! Spectacular!

Fantastic experience: Niki, you were truly such a pleasure to work with. We couldn’t have wished for a better wedding coordinator to put together our big day than you. Thank you so much for your attentiveness to detail and hard work. It shows how much you care for your clients and how amazing you are at your profession. Niki was sweet, kind, organized, and easily accessible during our wedding planning stage and beyond. We loved working with her and are so happy she made our day truly the best day ever.

Fantastic experience: Niki and team were a pleasure to work with from start to finish! Our wedding evolved quite a bit from our original idea and Paris Events took each new idea or change in stride. We couldn't have pulled off such a beautiful and memorable event without them! I would recommend Paris Events to every newly engaged couple. Can't thank you all enough!

Fantastic experience: What can I say! Niki was amazing from beginning to end. She helped us with every problem and questions we had, any trouble we had she was there to help. I know we bugged her a lot at night with emails lol(sorry), but she would respond right away. She kept us up every week with our to do list, made sure everything was well and complete. Made sure our vendors were updated with any changes. I can’t thank Niki enough, she supported my wife when she struggled with certain things. When we started to get nervous and stressed out, Niki talked to us and reminded us that its going to be ok, and when the day comes its all about us. Once the day was here oh man! She was there with the team from the start to help both of us out. She really made us feel better and helped calm our nerves down. She really took care of us and we are grateful for that. We wish we could have spent more time!!! In the end we gained a wonderful supportive friend. I am recommending Niki to all of my friends and for anyone that is looking for a wedding planner. Niki thank you so much for everything! You made our special day perfect, you made our wedding something to remember and one of the best out there. Thank you Niki. We love you!!!!

Fantastic experience: Niki (and the Paris Events team), where do we even start? Niki, you are an absolute gem of a human...so kind, so supportive and the best coordinator. Your team was more than we could have asked for and we are just so wildly grateful for you and ALL you did to make our day perfect. Paris Events was one of the very first vendors we secured for our wedding (after interviewing many event teams), and we could NOT have done this without them. We chose the partial planning option and were lucky enough to have Niki's guidance and expertise for monthly check-ins the entire year leading to our big day. My husband and I had high expectations in choosing a coordinator as we are both organized and big planners; however, we knew we were going to need help balancing all of moving pieces of a wedding. Niki immediately put us at ease. She is incredibly organized and thorough, and we never once felt worried or concerned because we knew Niki was in our corner. Niki kept us on track, gave input on the right things to look for and ask for with vendors, and organized all of our contracts and payments. In the month prior to our wedding, every single detail went through Niki. This allowed us to actually relax and enjoy the time before our big day, rather than stress about what was next. On the day of our wedding, Niki and her team were there every step of the way. She brought calmness and comfort to our day. She supported us, guided us, and led us where we needed to be. She reminded us to breathe, to eat, and most importantly, to soak in the moments that come and go so quickly on your wedding day. She did a million things I couldn't name if I tried, but absolutely needed on that day. She is invaluable. We are completely grateful for finding Niki and Paris Events and will recommend them to everyone we know. We keep joking that our only complaint is that our time with Niki is over ☺️

Fantastic experience: If you are on the fence about hiring a wedding planner or day of coordinator please read this! I was on the fence as well and couldn't decide if it was really necessary with all of the other costs involved in planning a wedding. Let me tell you- I can't imagine our wedding day without Paris Events. We had scheduled meetings with our lead planner, Audrey, to review plans at different stages leading up to the day, and had a personalized wedding portal to keep track of important information. As the day got closer, we were so very thankful we had Audrey to give us reassurance and review every little detail before the big day. On the day of, it was like I had a close friend with me taking over all of the details of the day. I felt like we could both relax and enjoy our wedding from start to finish, because Paris Events was on top of everything! Audrey, Niki, and Jennifer are just the sweetest people and we can't thank them enough. I highly recommend them to anyone planning their big day!

Fantastic experience: Hi HIGHLY recommend Paris Events! My husband and I planned our wedding from San Francisco so had no knowledge on where to start in planning for a wedding in Chicago. Paris Events owned our flower decor holistically and executed amazingly. In addition, they were more than day of planners, but took everything over a month or two before the wedding. Niki and team made sure everything ran smoothly from set up, timeline planning, full contact takeover for all vendors, etc. We were able to fully appreciate the day because of Niki and Audrey! We could not be more thankful for them.

Fantastic experience: We started the wedding planning process in Chicago without thinking we would need a day-of planner, but boy were we wrong. Our venue had just worked with the Paris Events team and had great things to say, and we hopped on a call with Audrey soon thereafter. Right off the bat from our first call with Audrey, we knew she would do an amazing job throughout the rest of our planning and day-of process. She took the time to get to know us, understood what we needed or wanted almost instantly, and when stressful speed bumps arose closer to our wedding date she always had our best interests in mind. She really went above and beyond leading up to the actual wedding, and was always available plus very timely in responses while we worked together. On the day of, the Audrey/Niki duo worked wonders together and coordinated all of the heavy lifting to make sure the day went perfectly. We would not have been able to do it all without the help of Paris Events, and would highly recommend that you hire them for your wedding planning/coordination needs!!

Fantastic experience: My husband and I both have big, Italian families, and with that, came large expectations for a big wedding. We were in search for a wedding planner who could be calm, assertive, and easy-going during the day of the wedding. When we first spoke to Niki, she impressed us with her positivity and can-do attitude! We know we have a lot of personalities in our family, but both Niki and Audrey used their charm to win over us, our families, and bridal party on our big day! It was the best day of our lives and we couldn't have asked for a better duo to tackle this 300+ person wedding. We love you both!

Fantastic experience: If you read nothing else- HIRE PARIS EVENTS. Looking back on planning, a coordinator was on my ‘maybe’ list when it came to the budget and I’m truly not sure what I would have done without them. I’m serious, our day and the weeks leading up to our wedding would have been not nearly as relaxing and wonderful without Niki and her team. Paris events coordinated everything for us from about 6 weeks out from our event, including some last minute vendor changes, some confusing information from our venue, and also helped us navigate what to do when Covid got drastically worse in the days/weeks leading up to our wedding. They were our favorite vendor at our wedding, hands down. Niki and her team are always on time, always timely in responding to emails, and have a wealth of knowledge that is worth every single penny. The day of our wedding we had two vendors that suddenly became sick and we had replacements that were on par if not better than the original plan without even having to lift a finger. If that’s not telling of the network that the Paris Events team has around them and support you get on what can be a stressful day I’m not sure what is. You can truly tell that Niki and her team absolutely love what they do. I cannot thank them enough for giving me and my family the ability to enjoy my own wedding day after over a year of planning.

Fantastic experience: We hired Paris Events for our August 2020 wedding. Niki was attentive and knowledgeable from the start, helping us with questions we didn’t think to ask. Due to COVID, we had to postpone our wedding twice and Niki helped us navigate a stressful time. A few months before, she took over all vendor communication and created a detailed “day of”timeline. With Niki on our side, we were able to have a stress free wedding day. Hire Paris Events- you won’t regret it!

Fantastic experience: If you have landed on this page and are looking for a wedding planner and coordinator. STOP! You have found the absolute perfect one and I promise, you will not regret it. Niki and Paris Events are THE wedding team you want. Niki helped my husband and I plan our perfect day and thought of every single detail one could think of/should think of/might think of on their big day. She was punctual with her responses to all emails, both from me and other vendors. She asked massively important questions when completing our walk through the wedding spaces and was our woman in shining armor on the big day to make sure WE had the most amazing day. I swear without Niki and Paris Events I would have been running around on my big day making sure everything was going right, but with Niki she took all of that stress off of me, my family, and the rest of our friends and guests so we could have the most amazing, worry free wedding day! Best money we spent, hands down! Thanks Niki and Paris Events! :)

Fantastic experience: Niki is AMAZING and an absolute joy to work with! She is incredibly professional as well as personable. It is easy to tell that she is extremely passionate about what she does, and she makes sure that everything comes out exactly how you envisioned it. I highly recommend Paris Events if you are planning a wedding or any type of celebration!

Fantastic experience: Niki and her amazing team at Paris Events were pivotal in making our wedding day a fantastic success! From planning guides, vendor management, contract review and day of fire fighting, the Paris events team handled every step with professionalism, confidence and a passion for their craft. Niki's fantastic energy and overwhelming knowledge of the industry enabled us to enjoy every step of the wedding planning process and experience every single second of the wedding day. They were somehow everywhere at once - but you didn't even notice they were there. The whole team's joyful disposition and positive attitudes brought even more excitement and happiness to an already glowing day. I don't think it is possible for me to recommend a wedding coordinator more, honestly if they ever branch out into just general life coordination I would hire them for that too. It was really a privilege to have Paris Events at the helm of our wedding vendor team. Thank you!

Fantastic experience: If you are getting married, you absolutely need to have Niki and her team as part of your big day. Niki is nothing short of incredible and my wedding would not have been as wonderful as it was without her. She is always available to help you and she thinks to get things done before you even have to ask. She works very hard and is so organized, prompt, patient and beyond kind. She will be your best friend by the end of wedding planning and you will not regret for one second hiring her! I am beyond thankful that Niki and her team were part of my planning process and wedding day.

Fantastic experience: I experienced​ nothing but greatness from Niki and her team! Words cannot describe how thankful I am for them for helping me out on our big day. Niki and her team went above and beyond and not only took over all communications with our vendors but made sure everything on the day went smooth. This included setting up decor and steaming our dresses and everything else in between. I am a very detailed oriented person and one of my biggest worries was that I was going to stress the whole day because of little things I thought I would notice. I have to say I WAS NOT STRESSED ONE BIT. I had so much fun on my big day and I don't think that would've been possible without Niki and her team. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND to anyone who is planning a wedding! Niki and her team are so great and I still can't thank them enough for being on this journey with me <3

Fantastic experience: Niki and her team go above & beyond - can't recommend them enough! We hired Paris Events for partial coordination. From our first meeting, we felt such relief to be working with such professional, positive, thoughtful people - so calming in what can be an overwhelming process. Niki is clear, kind, prepared, and an excellent problem-solver...if there was a snag, she smoothed it! We bought candlesticks that ended up not being allowed at our venue because they were open flames (whoops), but Niki thought to tilt them on their sides & use them as a snazzy geometric decoration. They looked beautiful and I was so pumped we were still able to use them! As my bridal party was getting ready, Niki did everything from offer to steam dresses to tidying up areas where we were taking photos. She also helped our families feel prepared - we ended up sharing the timeline she created with them and it answered every question they could have had about the logistics of the day. I know she did a ton of work behind the scenes, too - she communicated with our vendors for us in the weeks leading up to the wedding, made us personalized to-do lists, and responded to all our emails promptly and thoroughly. All told, we would not have been able to enjoy our day nearly as much if we hadn't had Niki and her team there to help.

Fantastic experience: We had to push our event twice during the pandemic. We hired Niki back in 2019, thinking our wedding would be in 2020. Throughout the entire process, Niki has been incredibly helpful. She is very organized and she helped my husband and I throughout the whole postponement process. We are so grateful to work with a company such as Niki's who is very understanding. Her skills are amazing and I will 100% recommend her to anyone!!

Fantastic experience: Hiring Paris events was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. We hired Paris for Wedding Coordination and could not have been happier with the execution. Niki and her team are fantastic

Fantastic experience: You will NOT regret hiring, Niki. While every other review is saying this, I still have to say it because it's true: Hiring Niki and her team was the BEST decision we made during our wedding planning process. We tapped her to be our month-of coordinator, and it relieved such a burden on us. Her combination of calmness, warmth, and sharp competence make her a diamond in the rough. Niki has a very calm demeanor, is extremely responsive on email, is flexible, and is very customer oriented. I never saw her get annoyed or flustered by anything we asked of her. She never rushed us, and she was always generous with her time during our meetings. Her focus was on helping us have a good experience, and this is huge—you don't want to work with someone who will take things personally or get defensive and you don't have to worry about this with Niki. Furthermore, Niki has a great deal of experience and is incredibly organized and competent—very on-point / on-the-ball. She creates a portal for you with actually-helpful resources (like a to-do list in the weeks leading up to the wedding) and customized timelines. Because of her experience and competence, I felt we had a very trusted guide to walk us through the process. She always followed through on what she said she would do. She served as our advocate when our vendors weren't meeting the standards they agreed to. During the wedding, we didn't have to worry about a thing. Her and her assistant, Audrey (?), were a beacon of calm and steadiness. Also, given the small size of our wedding (19 ppl), she and her assistant agreed to set up and take down our decorations on our reception tables without additional charge. They also put up our DIY garland on the arch before the ceremony. Talk about customer service! I have a lot of gratitude for Niki and her team—they really made our wedding the stress-free celebration we had hoped it would be. It was perfect. Thank you, Niki!

Fantastic experience: Aside from marrying my husband, hiring Niki and her team was the next best decision I made for our wedding day. We can't say enough about Niki and her team - her calm demeanor, top-notch organizational skills and expertise allowed us to have a seamless and magical wedding day. Our guests commented how smooth the day went and that is 100% attributable to Niki and her team - one of our guests even noted that she knew what they needed with just eye contact and she was ON POINT throughout the day. That sums up our experience with Niki and her team - throughout the entire wedding process she kept us on track and on the day of, her team went above and beyond. We started the day at 8am and by the time the ceremony started at 530pm, we all needed touchups - my dress had gotten dirty from the rain and Niki was able to repair it instantly, all boutonnieres needed fixing and Niki was right there to freshen it up. Before it even started raining, Niki quickly ran out and provided us with clear umbrellas just in case - her quick thinking not only kept us dry but also allowed us to get one of our favorite pictures of the day. She's not only a wedding planner but also a meteorologist! Originally, we hired Niki to help navigate through the different guidelines from COVID but we quickly realized that we should've hired Niki from the start - her and her team are honestly amazing and our wedding day would not have been as great without her and her team. If possible, we would definitely give them more than 5 stars!

Fantastic experience: As wedding photographer, I have worked with a lot of different planners and I have had the pleasure of working with Niki on a few of those weddings. All I got to say is that Niki is one of the best. She is very knowledgable, super organized, and her attention to detail is amazing. I highly recommend her for your future stress free wedding day.

Fantastic experience: I love with working Niki! I am a florist and have done a few weddings with her company. She always exudes calm even in stressful situations. It is such a relief working with a planner that knows how to keep others calm, happy and on task. She is such a warm and sweet person too! I would totally put my trust in her and her company to head any event I was hosting.

Fantastic experience: To start this review, I’ll say that I couldn’t be happier with how our wedding went and many guests mentioned to me how memorable it was. After hearing the stories from friends and family of the things that went wrong at their weddings, I was expecting at least one or two things to not go our way. But everything went smoothly for ours - in many ways thanks to Niki. She had every detail handled, from when and where everyone needed to be throughout the day, to even moving luggage between hotel rooms as people came and went to ensure it ended up in the right place at the end of the night. I should also mention that this was just the second weekend that Chicago allowed weddings during Covid and all of the vendors had to shift their plans last minute due to new protocols. I should also mention that we initially hired Niki to plan our wedding prior to Covid, which got postponed and then moved forward twice with Niki helping us move on from our original (indoor)venue, working us through the logistics of a potential backyard wedding, and finally recommending the venue (Chicago Illuminating) that was perfect for our day. Oh, and I should also mention that I broke a cufflink while getting dressed. Niki was there to pull some super glue and a hairdryer out of her bag and managed to fix it just in time for family photos (and it’s still intact). Looking back, I guess a lot didn’t go our way, but all that we’ll remember is how great the day was because Niki was there to make sure that everything went smoothly.

Fantastic experience: Hiring Niki was the best decision I made throughout the wedding planning process. Pre-pandemic, I was planning a fairly laid back wedding for 100 guests. I thought I was organized enough to pull it off and only hired a planner at the insistence of my mother. Once Covid hit, Niki was amazingly supportive. She checked in regularly, offered suggestions about how we could move forward with plans, and provided informative updates about all of the latest regulations surrounding events. And she sent flowers on our original wedding date! Once we started to seriously consider a new version of our wedding, Niki went above and beyond to help us consider alternatives and ultimately make the best decision given the situation. We ended up having a beautiful 50-person wedding. Niki made sure that every detail was in place so that I didn’t have to stress. Leading up to the wedding, she handles everything. She sends TONS of emails to vendors, makes sure the timeline is perfect, and keeps the bride/groom/family/wedding party organized. She is extremely responsive, and follows up whenever necessary. The wedding day was such a whirlwind; I can’t imagine experiencing that without having a coordinator. I was able to enjoy the day and have fun with family, friends, and my new husband. A few minor things came up that I didn’t even know about because Niki handled them. Even with a small event, it was so worth it to have Niki’s services at our wedding. Niki is professional, kind, smart, creative, thorough, detailed, and so easy to work with. Because of her my wedding day was joyful, calm, and perfect!

Fantastic experience: Paris Events is the way to go! Niki is professional, personable, organized, and extremely responsive. She acts as the perfect point person for the day and keeps everyone calm and organized. Niki is extremely detail-oriented and ensures every last detail is prepared and thought through. This focus on detail ensures everything goes smoothly when the day comes along, guaranteeing a calm, relaxed, FUN day for the couple and everyone involved. Niki is highly knowledgable about the wedding industry and provides great ideas and recommendations from vendors to decor. She has great relationships with other vendors which helps with clarity and comfort of communication. From the intial meeting to actual wedding day, having Niki's support and guidance makes planning a wedding stress free and truly enjoyable experience.

Fantastic experience: Niki is amazing! She was extremely personable and easy to work with – you can tell right away she’s passionate about weddings. She has a ton of knowledge in the wedding industry with her background on the beauty and photography side. Our wedding was planned for early April 2020. We had our first in person meeting in March to walk through the details and were ready for the final stretch. Unfortunately, we had to cancel about 3 weeks out. However, Niki was still there to help us sort through things with our other vendors and make a difficult time easier. She even delivered flowers to us on our wedding date! While it was not what any of us planned, we are so appreciative of Niki’s support and would highly recommend Paris Events to anyone planning a wedding!

Fantastic experience: Niki is calm, collected, and 'in-the-know' of current wedding trends ; all of which, make her incredible at what she does! She is a pleasure to work with, down to earth and genuinely wants the best for her clients. If you are looking for someone to ease the stress of planning your wedding, stop your search with Niki! <3

Fantastic experience: Niki is amazing and extremely organized. I would totally recommend her to anyone who is looking for a seamless wedding planning experience.
