Frequently asked questions
Planning a day-of coordinator in Chicago
How much does day-of coordination cost in Chicago?
Day-of coordination in Chicago commonly runs $800–$2,000 — and “day-of” usually means the coordinator starts 4–6 weeks out: confirming vendors, building the timeline, and running rehearsal and wedding day so nobody in your family works your wedding.
How does Lazo rank day-of coordinators in Chicago?
Rankings come from the Lazo Score — verified reviews weighted for recency — and are never sold. Vendors without verified reviews yet start at the community baseline of 65 and earn their score as verified reviews arrive.
