CL Events

Planning a wedding can be a very exciting but overwhelming task. I was engaged to be married to my love in Naperville, IL at White Eagle Golf Club in 2012 and started out planning on my own. I thought I could do it all by myself, but WOW was I wrong… there is a lot to be done and so I needed to turn to someone for help. I am SO happy I chose Carolyn to work with and grateful for everything that EventsbyCarolynLabahn provided for us! Carolyn was such a comforting and task-​oriented person to work with and she provided so much support throughout the entire planning time! I know for a fact our wedding would not have been such a fun, amazing, and smooth time without her. Right from the start Carolyn was there for me for EVERYTHING. She was such a GENUINE person to talk to me on the phone for HOWEVER long I needed to just listen to me and provided such EFFECTIVE feedback to get things on the wedding agenda accomplished. She took time out to meet ONE-​ON-​ONE with me multiple times to plan out and help in the decision making for specific things from scheduling to my DJ search to planning day-​of coordination. She had such ORGANIZATION with planning out my hour-​by-​hour schedule of the wedding rehearsal and wedding day to make sure I felt comfortable and to ease my nerves to make sure everything worked so very smoothly. She had CONNECTIONS knowing which wedding venues or companies were highly rated and provided such great quality service that it helped so much with my decision making process from narrowing down the specific DJ, to choosing the best and most cost effective limo places, to helping me coordinate the best locations for my wedding day pictures, etc. She did such a great job forming POSITIVE relationships with our bridal party of 16 and family as we planned and experienced the day together. She was there for me every step of the way that I felt so at EASE and EXCITED going in to my wedding day and my fairytale wedding was exactly what happened. Everything could not have run more smoothly, more elegantly, and more coordinated. We had such an amazing day and night from the wedding rehearsal, to the wedding day and night, and even into the following day with her providing support with transporting wedding gifts. Family and friends STILL talk about and bring up how great of a time they had at our wedding and how they would love to go back and experience it again! It would surely have not been the same without Carolyn’s expertise. I would HIGHLY recommend Carolyn as your event coordinator for your big day because she truly gives amazing service and I had such a wonderful time working with her! You could not work with a more kind, caring, hard-​working and down-​to-​earth person for your big day!

Thanks to Carolyn, we had the most amazing wedding at the Bridgeport Art Center in Chicago this August. She planned the day for us in advance and helped us create the perfect timeline. She made creative suggestions and recommendations I would never have thought of in a million years and made the day absolutely perfect. She flawlessly executed our rehearsal dinner and our wedding day from start to finish.
The best part was that I was able to relax and enjoy myself the whole time because I knew Carolyn had everything under control. I just had to look to her for my cue, which meant I didn’t have to worry about the timeline or order of events and I could focus on having fun and dancing!
Both the DJ and the caterer later told me that they absolutely loved working with Carolyn and were thankful I had an awesome event planner.
I highly recommend Carolyn!

Carolyn helped me put together my master wedding timeline, quite a daunting task! She is truly an expert and so easy to work with. After one friendly phone call, she returned a detailed outline of my wedding weekend along with a contact sheet. These services are so worth it for brides who want to be prepared for all the moments that will be happening that day. Extremely reasonable investment.

I was fortunate enough to be referred to Carolyn threw another very satisfied customer of CL Events and very grateful for the introduction. Carolyn was able to quickly get us the answers we needed for questions we had and then also answers for questions we didn’t know we needed yet. She really helped us with what we didn’t know. Would refer CL Events for anyone coordinating a small or large wedding!

I recently worked with CL Events for a wedding in Chicago as an out of town vendor and it was a complete pleasure. Carolyn is attentive and helpful and has a wonderful eye; the entire wedding was beautiful. Definitely a solid choice to help you through the big day!
