McBride Wedding Planning

It was because of Jean that I got to feel like The Bride" on our wedding day! Every little detail and nuance was thought of or thoughtfully addressed and taken care of allowing us to enjoy and soak in every moment. Champagne and flutes in rooms

Jean is topnotch, very professional, and delightful.I highly recommend McBride Wedding Planning *****

As a videographer, having the little details ahead of time is key to planning great shots on the big day. Just last month, I had the pleasure of working with Jean for the first time. I've never worked with a wedding planner that was this hands-on/involved in my planning process. She handled the flow and all the details of the wedding exceptionally. She's the one to have in your corner. Excellent service and person, for sure! If you want someone you can trust, look no further.

Jean went out of her way to personally make sure every single detail was attentively cared for in the most timely way. Her strengths shine under pressure. I was blown away by her ability to multi task while helping the bride prioritize/delegate. Jean made everyone feel calm. I highly recommend her services!

Jean did full service wedding planning for our wedding on 9/4/21. She was exceptionally kind, thoughtful, responsive, and creative throughout the process. Our wedding was in our backyard, so every detail needed to be thought of, from lighting to sound to catering, etc. I never had to reach out to vendors on my own- Jean took care of it all for us.She met with us weekly or biweekly depending on updates. She handled all logistics- she found us our photographer, caterer, limo driver, makeup/hair artists, security and more. When I say I did nothing the day of the wedding, I truly did NOTHING. I just got to sit back and enjoy- Jean took care of it all.Most of all, Jean is very nice. She understands the stress of weddings and never judged any of my unusual or last minute requests. I would HIGHLY recommend Jean to anyone hosting a wedding in Lake County, IL or nearby- you will not be disappointed!

I had the honor of working with Jean. As a photographer, the day going smoothly is of the highest importance. Jean understood this key piece and was instrumental in getting the day ready. The flow of the wedding, all the details were handled exceptionally. She’s definitely one to have in your corner. Great service and person, for sure! If you want someone you can trust, look no further. You’ve found her!

It was a true pleasure working with Jean on a wedding at the Genesee! As an event venue, we appreciate having a planner that is very organized and responsive - Jean offered all that and more. We hope to work with you again in the future!
