KIND WORDS

KIND WORDS

Our sincere gratitude and appreciation for your outstanding efforts in making our wedding celebration, a success. We have received many compliments from the wedding venue to the gift bags to the beauty and the beast reference on the menus that you came up with!

Joey and Dan

We just wanted to send a special. Thank you for all you did for us. You made our day, stress-free and memorable. Everything was simply perfect. We truly appreciate all you did.

Rachell and Pete

Soooo much fun! I loved that day. Totally smooth sailing. Thanks to the fine workmanship of Frank. Best wedding planner ever. 

Patricia Button Graves

You have been a "godsend" during this crazy, stressful time. I cannot say thank you enough!

Cathe

OMG I don't even know where to begin! 2020...what a year! AT the start of the year, we thought we were going to get married with a much different vision. What you pulled off and how you handled all the unknowns is remarkable and just speaks to you and your craft. Thank you for everything and herding us "cats" on the wedding day! Love you!

Allie & Casey

Frank always goes above and beyond for his clients. While planning my wedding in 2016, he continually came up with creative ideas to make our day special and unique to us as a couple. He is extremely responsive and works to make YOU happy. He always emails or calls back quickly, which is super appreciated. Hands down, he's the best out there!!!

Frank did such a spectacular job on our June wedding at the Crown at Tribune Tower. I work in the wedding industry myself and am a bit of a perfectionist, so I knew I’d need someone VERY experienced to take over and Frank delivered! He took care of any and all issues so my husband and I could have a stress-free, perfect wedding day! I can’t recommend him highly enough!!

Lisa K

If there were words that express the gratitude of 1 million thank youse an endless stream of love, and the feeling of part of the family, that is what we would write in this card. We are so lucky to have cross paths with you and to have had you lead us to our best day ever. You truly over delivered an hour day was perfect as a result. All our Love,
Lauren and Gabrielle.

There are simply no words, other than we are grateful for you and your help with Lauren and Gabby‘s wedding. Our hearts are so full… Thank you!

Jeanne and Dave

Thank you so much for your hard work and commitment to our weddings. (Yes, that is plural!)
We are eternally, grateful for your advice and expertise as you got. It is through the past few years and we couldn’t have done it without you.

Kerrie, Mike & Annabelle

As we celebrate our 3rd anniversary, we still cannot forget how special you made our day. The attention to detail at not only the ceremony but also the reception made it the "wedding of the century" to our family and friends, but most of all, us. Thank you!

Ryan

Thank you so much for everything. It was genuinely the most gorgeous wedding I have ever been to. I honestly didn't think it was possible to have the perfect wedding, but it was perfect. You have such a talent and I am so glad to finally have had the opportunity to see it first hand as a bride. I hope that 2020 brings wonderful things for you.

Liz

There are no words to describe how amazing Frank is at his job!!! There was no detail left uncovered at our wedding. His eye for details is amazing - personalized napkins, invitations, a dessert room filled with all of our favorites, flowers, center pieces, a Christmas choir, the list goes on and on. He even surprised us and had the hotel put a Christmas tree in our room! He takes the time to get to know his couples and focuses on their likes/dislikes to help them and him determine what their special vision is for their day. He introduced us to vendors who he thought our personalities would best match with. There is no doubt he made the whole process stress free. Frank is simply the best!

Elizabeth

Frank,
'Thank you' feels so very insufficient a phrase to adequately express how I feel about everything you did to make Kiersten and Chase's wedding everything we envisioned and more. Every detail was perfect and perfectly executed.
Flawless, priceless, beyond words.
Before I start to cry again, THANK YOU!

Annette

My wife and I cannot thank Frank and his team enough for the spectacular wedding and services Frank Event Design provided. From beginning to end, the level of professionalism and attention to detail Frank brought made the wedding planning process memorable and enjoyable for the both of us. Our wedding was beyond our imagination and spectacular in every way; truly one of the best nights of our lives and that’s all thanks to Frank. He was able to not only throw an amazing wedding, but a memorable New Year’s Eve party all rolled into one night. We would highly recommend anyone to use Frank and the Frank Event Design team not only in Chicago, IL but anywhere in the entire country.

Taylor G

We absolutely loved working with you on our wedding. From our first meeting through the wedding celebration we were so grateful for the honor of having you as our trusted partner. You made the planning process a true joy and the wedding a huge success throughout the year, we were frequent refrains that Jeffrey and I would say to each other, which went like this “that’s what we have Frank for“, or “aren’t you glad we have Frank“ or let’s asked Frank “ or “thank God we have Frank! “

From the moment we started working together we understood the value you brought to the table.

Lynn and Jeffrey

Knowing you were on speed dial #911 text/call if things went array..which they did..collapsed cake, dramatic/drunk relative, but you knew what to do and I had no idea of what was happening. You get what you pay for and in my case, I got so much more than what I paid for! Literally, aside from my husband and father, you were the "best man" at our wedding. 

Brandi

I so appreciate all your help with the wedding. Amid all that's unfolding each day, it would have been nearly impossible for us to do this on our own.

Jean Marie

Thank you for creating such an amazing and special day for us. You really went above and beyond to ensure that everyone had a great time, and I very much appreciate the time, effort, and talent that goes into that.

Frank planned and coordinated 2 weddings for our family. He got to know each couple and tailored each wedding to their visions of their wedding day. Each wedding was unique thanks to his creativity. He has a knack for bringing out the "unexpected" which makes his weddings so spectacular. Everything was professionally planned from the save the dates to gifts for each guest. He is a Master Wedding Planner and it shows in every way, outstanding service as well as exceptional connections in the industry. Extremely professional as well as so fun to plan with. Just sorry we don't have any more daughters!

Our wedding day was a vision brought to life by Frank Event Design. Choosing Frank as our wedding planner was the easiest decision of the entire process. His knowledge, expertise, and beautiful gallery of past events was remarkable. He brought our vision to life, was with us every step of the way, and made sure that no detail (no matter how small) was overlooked. Frank is a true professional, a master in his trade. He makes wedding dreams come true!

No words can describe how amazing Frank is. Our wedding day was absolutely perfect. He is worth every single penny and he was by far the best money we spent on our wedding. We will never forget everything he did for us and we will always be fans of him and his work. We cannot recommend him enough. Other planners might be cheaper but I promise you, you aren't getting the knowledge you'll be getting when you go with Frank. That knowledge and that experience are exactly what you are going to want to be relaxed and have trust in someone on your wedding day. Frank will be the best money you ever spent. From the first conversation I had with Frank over the phone, I knew I wanted him to be our planner. About a month after getting engaged, we set out to find a planner and Frank was one of the first to reply to our email. We had originally just planned on having a planner for the day of the ceremony so that we could enjoy it but Frank's amazing knowledge and the comfort in his voice were the two things that set him apart. It was clear he knew what he was doing and then some. More than anything, I immediately trusted him and his advice. We hired him on the spot to be our planner from that day forward and it was the best decision we made in all of our planning. My husband and I both live out of town but chose to have our wedding in Chicago as I am originally from the suburbs and have always wanted my wedding in downtown Chicago. Frank made working from a distance extremely easy. Even more so, he always made time for me when I was in town, even when he had another wedding that weekend. Two of the weekends that I was in town for planning, Frank met with me and my family to pick out invitations and flowers, to meet with the stylist doing my hair and makeup and for our tasting. He always made time and room for us no matter how crazy his schedule was. The only regret I have in all of my wedding planning was that I did not hire Frank right away. We did a lot of the "big" things on our own - venue, photographer, DJ, etc. Then we hired Frank and I wish we had done it the other way around. I know Frank would have had some great insight into all of those decisions and maybe we would have avoided the difficulty we had with our photographer. In the month leading up to our wedding, a lot of things went wrong - we had to replace our photographer, my dress was delayed, our priest had to bow out due to personal reasons and a lot of other things that added up to a lot in "crunch" time. Frank was always there to listen and to fix everything. I always was worried until I called Frank and then all my worries went away. He truly knew exactly what to do and how to remedy every situation. The day of the wedding, Frank had everything under control. My husband and I and our parents literally never worried about a thing. He told us where to be and when and everything went right on schedule. I have heard a lot of people talk about how they didn't have time to eat at their own wedding or other things because they were so busy and running around everywhere. My husband and I were able to sit down, relax and enjoy every single moment of our perfect night which was all thanks to Frank. We will forever remember and cherish our wedding day because of Frank and his team.
