Thank you so much for making our wedding day such a perfect celebration of this next chapter in our life.
Everything was incredible, and we are so grateful for all of your hard work and (continued) effort.
Thank you for adjusting your hours to my vampire hours and always making me laugh with “let’s have a conversation” opener.
You really were the glue that kept it together, and we’ll cherish all of our memories with you!

Where do I begin to thank you for making my dreams come true?
I am so thankful that you came into my life exactly when I needed you. I cannot believe we made my vision come to life and that I survived this planning process (thanks to you keeping me sane)! I have to say we make one hell of a team. Thank you for your patience with my family & me. Thank you for planning out my day down to the minute. Thank you for being the wizard behind the scenes controlling everything & taking the stress and anxiety off me. I owe you everything & I will never be able to repay. I will never forget this day. Thank you for making this the best day of my life!!

We wish you all the happiness in the world, you deserve it.

Thank you for your patience, your diligence, and your dedication to your brides – well, as I’ve been saying, you’re a Rock Star.
Your persistence in making wedding dreams come true is more than impressive.

Thank you so much for coordinating Alexia’s wedding and being such a pleasure to work with! From our first meeting we were thankful to have found a wedding planner that had such an eye for detail. At times we came across some minor bumps, but you handled everything effortlessly! We truly appreciate all your time, energy and hard work!

Lenore (Weiss)
Thank you for helping me give Sammi & Ryan the wedding of our dreams. You were the quintessential professional all the way; I absolutely couldn’t have done it without your expertise, creativity, and most of all kindness. Because of you, I was able to do what I didn’t even think was possible. I’ll be forever grateful to you for making your magic.

Yev & I just wanted to thank you for helping make our dream wedding come to life. Everything was perfection & we are still reliving the day through pictures and amazing memories. We can’t thank you enough. Your guidance & helpful advice really helped make the big day move along swiftly and easily.
Liza & Yev
Holly and Joey
We truly cannot imagine getting through the process without you. You have been an amazing help to us throughout these last six months. Thank you for your continuous guidance and for being such a joy to work with. We are so happy to have met you and we’re thrilled to have you be a part of our special day.
Holly and Joey
Amy (DiMatteo)
I can honestly say that I'm not quite sure what we'd do without you. You have this way of pulling what I want right out of me, and that is a skill that not many people possess. I want to make sure that you know your hard work is very appreciated. You've truly made my wedding dreams a reality, and I can't thank you enough.
Amy (DiMatteo)
Claudia and Brent Minner
Wow. What an event our wedding was. It was hands down the best day of Brent’s and my life, and we cannot thank you enough for all of the hard work that went into making it so special. Because of you, our day went off without a hitch. We aren’t aware if anything went awry, but that is SO great! Thank you for everything you did for us.
Claudia and Brent Minner
Jackie & Dave (Burchfield)
THANK YOU for seriously everything this weekend!!! From keeping our bridal party on schedule to helping me fix my bustle and dealing with gifts and guests’ questions – you made it possible for us to enjoy our special day, and for that, we are forever grateful. Our wedding was everything we could have dreamed of and more.
Jackie & Dave (Burchfield)
Kathy & Dan Dowell
Hope has her act together and she was hugely helpful planning and organizing the wedding. Hope’s suggestions for the various vendors that made up the Dowell wedding team were critical to the success of the wedding. All of Hope’s suggested vendors were highly professional and talented.
Kathy & Dan Dowell
Michele Lorand & Paul Ringel
I don’t know the right words to thank you enough for everything you did to make Lillian & Josh’s wedding the most splendid and joyful occasion! We have received so many emails, cards & letters from guests expressing how extra special the whole event was – from flowers, to music, to food & drink – even the gift bags! And I owe it all to you!
Michele Lorand & Paul Ringel
Leslie & Tom Africano
I am the mother of two brides, two different weddings, two of the most perfect days in my life. My heartfelt thank you to Hope Wasserman~Weis. As I look back at our weddings and the memories that I’ll cherish forever, I realized what it is that Hope does best. Hope creates your perfect TEAM!
Leslie & Tom Africano
Elizabeth & Charlie DeWitt
As the mother of an only son, it never entered my mind that I would ever be totally responsible for a complete wedding here in Chicago at the Four Seasons. A destination wedding for people from Asia (including the jet-lagged couple ) and from all over the country and Europe. I feel it would never have been possible without Hope.experience, creativity, relationship with trusted vendors, and your limitless patience as you navigated the many disparate visions within our family. The entire day was magical, and your timeline allowed us to savor every moment...
Elizabeth & Charlie DeWitt
Erin & Mike Capalbo
I have dreamt of my wedding for as long as I can remember and because of you, the day surpassed everything I had imagined. Thank you again from the bottom of my heart!
Erin & Mike Capalbo
Jane & John Tough
Thank you so much for bringing to life the most beautiful, wonderful, magical wedding weekend. John and I knew from our very first skype call that we were in great hands and working with you to plan our wedding was truly a joy.
Jane & John Tough
Jill & Steve Newcom
Having you seeing to the schedule on the day of the wedding, allowed us to thoroughly enjoy our time with our family and friends! Worry free! Absolute confidence in knowing that everything was in place, and even if something would happen- you were there with the experience and patience to make it work!
Jill & Steve Newcom
Celine & John Lowrey
Hope Weis is the consummate Chicago insider and professional in terms of wedding planner. She listens, anticipates and delivers on everything. This was our second wedding in four months and Chicago was a "destination" wedding for us. Her "can do" attitude and effortless ease at producing a quality, personal and memorable event are her trade mark.
Celine & John Lowrey
Kathy & Guy Crane
AN EYE FOR DETAILS and A MIRACLE WORKER TOO, Hope Wasserman Weis. One of the very first calls I made upon hearing of my daughter Kate’s engagement was to Hope of Hope Weis Consulting. I knew that I was going to need help planning this wedding (my daughter lived out of state) and I knew that Hope was the one to help me. We hired her right away.
Kathy & Guy Crane
Don & Wendy Shannon
Hope it is no exaggeration that Jackie’s wedding would not have been possible without your experience, creativity, relationship with trusted vendors, and your limitless patience as you navigated the many disparate visions within our family. The entire day was magical, and your timeline allowed us to savor every moment...
