When we decided to on-board Tionna as our full time wedding planner, it was purely on the basis of her fantastic vibe and the calm and comfort she exuded. Little did we realize at the time, that this would turn out to be the best decision we took for our wedding. Tionna went above and beyond with every single detail right from understanding our vision for the wedding, helping us pick the right photographer, videographer, caterer, following a meticulous timeline, while ensuring that we never once felt the stress of our big day approaching. On the day of our wedding, Tionna and her team at Wedicity had every moment planned out, and all the moving parts organized spectacularly, all the while helping us enjoy the day without a worry in the world. So much so, that she even had a lint remover sent at a moment's notice all the way to the photoshoot venue, just so that the pictures would be perfect. And they truly were!!! Thank you Tionna for making our wedding into our dream wedding P.S.... Read more She managed to pull this off in under 3 months!

Tionna was so great to work with, and we can't recommend her enough. She responds to all contact in a timely manner, provides recommendations for vendors, and is thorough and detail-oriented. She wants to dream big with you but also keep you grounded and suggest alternatives to picture locations that are just not possible like historic bars and hotels. She was positive and supportive of us as we tried to finalize plans for our wedding in Chicago in the middle of the Covid-19 global pandemic, and when we made the difficult decision to cancel, she helped contact all of our vendors to start cancelling their services. Hiring her was one of the best decisions we made in planning our wedding.

Wow!! 5 stars aren’t enough to describe what a phenomenal wedding & Event planner Wedicity is!! Our company enlisted Tionna to design and execute our annual wedding industry gala for our 2020 magazines and couldn't be more thrilled with the results! She came up with an inspirational, truly lovely vision and we can't thank her enough for all the hard work (hours and hours and hours) and love she put into it to make her stunning vision come to life. Tionna’s incredible organization from beginning to end made everyone's job much easier. She lead the entire vendor team with efficiency, professionalism and kindness throughout, allowing each person to showcase their best work. With the beautiful venue still in its opening phases, there were many obstacles to overcome but you would never know it as an event attendee. Tionna is an absolute pleasure to do business with as she approaches her work with passion, warmth and enthusiasm! She brings creativity and out of the box thinking ... Read moreto all situations. She gives 110% to every every task and is an excellent communicator. I appreciate her impeccable follow through and I highly recommend working with her.

With the state of the economy, shut down of city of Chicago, and pandemic, we had to scale back our original wedding plans! Tionna Van Gundy, founder of Wedicity, met our expectations for our special day by keeping a conservative budget, consistent communication with vendors, and maintaining an optimistic approach in planning. I recommend Tionna to all our friends planning a wedding, no matter what the size or circumstances, she is the perfect planner to work with. She is prompt in her communication, professional, and maintains a calm demeanor through each obstacle that comes your way. Looking at our photos from our special day, Tionna has a big smile on her face as she shares the happiness and joy with the couple, whichever way their wedding planning takes them.

We were lucky enough to work with Tionna for a Wedding & Event Industry Gala. She worked tirelessly with the brand new venue (we were their first event ever) to make the event run seamlessly! Tionna is wildly talented, uber-organized and fabulously patient. They covered every detail and her communication with our many sponsors was very detailed and thorough. 5 stars truly isn't enough!! Thank you!!

Working with Tionna and the Wedicity team made our whole engagement time and wedding stress-free. We could not have asked for more! We gave Tionna our vision for the event and she turned it into a reality even better than we could have imagined! We had a lot of specific requirements, being that it was a destination wedding with a lot of guests, and it was going to span over three days. We thought that it would be difficult to plan such an event, but that didn't seem to phase Tionna! When we landed in California for the big day, she had a seamless timeline of where we needed to be and when. It was honestly like a dream it was so perfect. She was amazing to work with and we are so grateful for her help in creating the best wedding weekend of our lives. I would also like to mention that even our guests mentioned that they had never been to such a well-organized wedding before and that they can't wait for the next party she plans!

Tionna is amazing, organized, incredibly knowledgeable and professional. She helped us manage our vendors, and made sure the wedding was amazing. She is just outstanding at what she does. Once we hired her, I knew everything would be great.

First advice about weddings I heard was, "if you can, get a wedding planner". But, I didn't get just planner, I got Tionna and her team! From my first meeting with her, I could see her experience and her strive for excellence. She took initiative to collaborate to with my vendors and had an online portal that kept it all organized. There were so many little details that they just knew how to take care of. The communication - AMAZING WediCity let me experience my own wedding without stressing or thinking about logistics. Everything was just perfectly taken care of in the background. I felt like a queen being gently ushered from one amazing part of my wedding to another. I don't know how I could have planned a wedding and loved it so much without Wedicity's help. Also need to mention how much Tionna rocks the non-traditional ceremony format! We had inexperienced officiant and she walked them through everything. They felt so comfortable by the time of the ceremony. She knew about... Read more all the little movements that are necessary to make it look cohesive (and get good pics). We even got the more traditional guests raving about our ceremony :D

Hiring Tionna was by far the best decision we made for our wedding day. Despite being a very organized person I knew that I needed someone to take care of all the day of details and be the go-to person in case anything were to go wrong. From the moment I first met Tionna I knew I needed to work with her. She is so kind, genuine, and really listens to what you are communicating. She helped us choose some of our vendors, jumped in to find us potential alternative ceremony locations when we were unsure of our plan, and was very quick to respond to any question, no matter how small or big. She was able to create a very detailed timeline and communicate with all of our vendors in order to make the whole day run smoothly. From running the rehearsal, to coordinating all the day of details, to fixing any problem or issue the day of, we can’t thank Tionna enough for taking us on as clients. To be honest, we both were able to TRULY enjoy every single minute of our wedding knowing ... Read morethat Tionna had our back and was going to handle anything that came her way. I honestly can’t think of one thing I worried about the day of because I knew I had such a brilliant person that really knows the business on my side.

If you are looking for a DOC, do yourself a favor and hire Tionna and her team ASAP! We were referred to Tionna by our baker (Erin Martin @ ECBG). We met with her and immediately hit it off (helps that she's from OH just like husband). Tionna's fees were slightly higher than we were looking to spend so we met with two other planners. After all our meetings we decided that Tionna's professionalism and experience were worth the expense. Even though we only hired her for Day-of planning, she began working with us 5 months out. She was always available via email, in addition to the 2-3 in person meetings we had with her. Some of our vendors had worked with Tionna in the past and they had only good things to say about her, like that she was very organized and low-drama. Two qualities which are so important for your planner to have. Her impeccable planning made it so that by the time our wedding day arrived, we didn't have to worry about anything. Honestly, the day was perfect. If an... Read moreything went wrong, we had no idea. Tionna and her team completely transformed our reception space. To this day I'm not sure what type of magic she was able to pull off, but our reception looked AMAZING. Our wedding was on a smaller scale and a smaller budget than some of the weddings profiled on Wedicity's website. And yet, we never felt like less of a priority to Tionna. She gave us the same attention to detail and support as I'm sure she gives all her couples. If we ever have to plan a large event in the future, we will without a doubt reach out to Tionna & Wedicity. She helped make our dream wedding a reality. HIRE HER NOW!!!

Honestly, there is not enough good things I can say about Tionna and her crew. We hired her for her full services, and she exceeded all expectations. She was patient as we took over 3 months to pick a wedding venue, going all over the city to show us our options. Impressively, the one we ended up choosing was on her first list of suggestions -- we just stupidly didn't want to see it at first! She helped keep us within our budget, and calm. When getting married in a big city like Chicago, the amount of options can feel so overwhelming. Tionna narrowed that down, and anyone she suggested, we immediately trusted. My husband and I were able to enjoy our special day, without worrying about any details and logistics. We just showed up to see our dream come to life! At the end of the night, she made sure everything got to our hotel, and even had a special surprise in our room (which I won't give away and spoil for any future couples, but it was very beautiful). Hiring Wedicity as our planner ... Read morewas the best decision we could have made for our wedding day, and I would recommend them to anybody.

My husband and I worked with Tionna leveraging her Full Service Wedding Services, which means we started working with her starting a whole 11 months before our wedding. Overall, this was unequivocally the best decision we made throughout the entire process of planning our day. While we simply cannot rave about Tionna enough (her flawless professionalism, prompt communication, consistency in service, willingness to help for any issue no matter how big or small....) there are a few items she particularly excelled at and surpassed our wildest expectations: - Vendor Referrals -- we chose a venue where we had to essentially hire everything a-la-carte; Tionna had outstanding vendor recommendations, from caterer to floral to cake baker to DJ/Band that precisely fit our style and helped us stay within budget. - Decor and Design Assistance -- she is outstanding at understanding the style and taste of a couple, as the decor input she gave us across the board from floral to linen selections t... Read moreo even feedback/direction on all our stationary and printed materials was exactly what we were thinking but couldn't quite articulate as eloquently and direct as she could. - Communication & "calming of the nerves" -- her calm tonality and graceful way she handles anything thrown her way are unworldly. She approaches things briskly and understands urgency but handles it with the calmness of a scented candle. There came a point my mother started reaching out to her directly, in addition to my anxiety as we approached the date, and she consistently & selflessly gave us confidence and assurance during the process. This personally was one of the most important things to me throughout the year. - Dedication - Tionna and the Wed-icity team stayed throughout the entire night of our wedding, until the very end, including taking care of all reception and personal items & lovingly/securely placing everything in our hotel room. Her philosophy is that NO ONE should work on wedding day---except her team! This was so incredibly important to myself, my family and bridal party. - Cultural understanding - My wedding was a combo Italian/Lebanese backgrounds coming together, needing to have a Catholic ceremony but not able to have it in a church. Tionna helped immensely with the "marriage" of our traditions and backgrounds in regards to ceremony and reception detail, including understanding the importance of finding a cookie baker that could make cookies from "around the world" suiting everyone's tastes. What stood out to us about Tionna even when we first spoke with her was her humble approach to servicing the couple--- being such an outstanding listener, in tune with everything we described and always helpful/additive vs. ever making us feel like we were making 'wrong' decisions. Her light hearted humor made everything (even stressful decisions) continue to feel 'light,' while still giving us the sense of how seriously she takes the work. This all punctuated the experience my husband and I had throughout the last year and truly made our "wedding" last so far beyond one day---in the best way possible. We will forever have memories of how seamless (and FUN) the process of working with Tionna was. If it isn't clear already, we couldn't recommend her more.

My wife and I were engaged for a year and a half before our wedding. I’m proud of what we locked down in that first year, but I’m telling you right now—our day would not have happened without Tionna. Booking vendors opens so many different lines of communication; juggling them all was immeasurably easier with her in our corner. She took the reins on the big stuff, like drafting a timeline with our venue or making a rehearsal dinner even happen. She coached us through the little stuff, like pinning flowers on my groomsmen and arranging a twenty person bridal party on a crowded rooftop. She understood our vibe instantly and filled the gaps in our vision. She’s knowledgeable, she’s communicative, she’s staggeringly prompt. She and the small army that is Wedicity will ensure you get hitched without a hitch.

If you want a stress-free, smooth sailing wedding planning journey then take on Tionna as your guide to all things wedding and all things planning! We can say without a doubt that it was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding! I've been struggling to find the right words to fully encompass our gratitude for all the impossible and astounding hard work and care Tionna put into helping make our wedding day the best day of our lives. What I can say is that everything went exactly as planned, was perfectly timed and spaced out, and we did not worry once the entire day. Tionna’s help and guidance from start to finish created that safety net that my fiancé, my mother, and I all desperately needed. That knowledge that at the end of the day, someone would be there to help prevent us from falling behind or forgetting to take care of an important detail in the planning process. Tionna checked in on us regularly, providing detailed checklists with due dates to keep us on track... Read more. Those checklists made this process feel more manageable and gave us a sense of satisfaction to see each item checked off as it was completed. But what we valued the most was how Tionna created an environment where we never felt uncomfortable or silly asking questions. She made a point of reminding us to enjoy the process as much as the end results, and to not back down from prioritizing and personalizing the parts of the wedding that we felt strongly about. We always felt like she understood our priorities and made sure we attained them. We are so glad we hired Tionna to help with our wedding, and would choose her again without hesitation!
