What our couples love

  • We worked with Rebecca as the officiant for our October wedding and could not be happier with how the ceremony went. We met Rebecca over Zoom, she got to know us by chatting about our relationship and life together, asking questions and just generally being a really easy, wonderful person to speak with! From there, she put together a ceremony that pulled in aspects of our story and the values we want in our marriage. Guests raved about the ceremony afterwards, some saying they learned things/changed the way they thought about marriage from her words! It was beautiful. Rebecca is a great speaker and everything went smoothly the day of. We're so thankful we found Rebecca to officiate and would recommend her to any couple!

  • It is difficult to put into words how special Rebecca is. She is the reason our wedding went off without a hitch, not to mention, she is the kindest, sweetest soul out there. Rebecca centered our relationship to make sure we trusted her with our wedding vision, which made communication with her and organization around our wedding super smooth.

    We really did not know how important she would be to us but she quickly became a dear friend. She has the type A-ness and loving personality that anyone planning a wedding needs. We felt so trusting with her throughout the entire planning process, but it wasn't until the actual wedding day that we really understood how critical she was to the operation. We truly believe Rebecca could run the world. Thank you so much - we are grateful for everything.

  • Something Profound Weddings provided us with an extraordinary level of service. Their communication was thorough throughout the planning process. Rebecca uses a portal that allows you to see exactly how much (or how little) planning you have remaining in the process. She adds in any little details that you may have told her, and most helpful, things that you may not have even thought about; Like when to schedule your waxing appointments!! I am truly thankful for Rebecca, our wedding coordinator, as I could not have been so relaxed and calm on our wedding day without her meticulous planning.

    Rebecca went above and beyond what was expected of her, such as gathering all of our personal items and placing them in the suite at the end of the night when my designated wedding person dropped the ball. I really should have known that upgrading the bar may not be the best idea. LoL. I needed Rebecca in every sense of the word, and she delivered an unparalleled level of service that made our special day truly unforgettable. Thank you so much, Rebecca. We are sending everyone to you!!!! (apologize in advance for anyone that tries to stump the planner

  • Rebecca was easiest person to spill my guts too! She made the awkwardness of a wedding ceremony just fizzle away. There was not a dry eye in the audience of my wedding. Literally. I highly recommend her services for literally any wedding need!

  • We cannot say enough wonderful things to describe our experience working with Rebecca. From the very first call we felt so comfortable and cared for (she answered our inquiry quickly and after setting our meeting, immediately sent a calendar invite and zoom link! I was instantly impressed). There are so many little ways Rebecca made us feel cared for (bday wishes, noting favorite colors, small gifts), and she also showed up in the big ways throughout the process. When we had a problem with a vendor or were at our wits end or when an elevator broke 1 week before the wedding (!!), she was right there to guide and comfort us and most importantly jump in to help. She had back up plans for back up plans, knew so many vendors, had countless alternatives and plenty of ideas to spare.

    Working with two involved brides is no easy task and she navigated our different personalities with ease! Hiring Rebecca was one of the first decisions we made when starting our wedding planning and it was by far one of the best decisions. We had a 225 person wedding and it went as smoothly as we dreamed, in no small part because of Rebecca.

  • We used Rebecca’s officiant services and could not have been more pleased with the results! We had a call with her a month before where she went over our vision for the ceremony, as well as our love story, and then two weeks before the ceremony sent us a script that delightfully weaved our personal story, a meaningful reading, and a blessing from my wife’s stepfather into the ceremony. Rebecca herself was so poised and spoke with clarity and conviction. We had used Rebecca for premarital counseling as well, and it was lovely to have her at the ceremony after she had seen us grow in communication throughout our relationship. We loved the counseling so much that we even extended to eight more sessions! Overall, I can’t say enough good things about Rebecca, and we highly recommend her for any and all of your wedding needs.

  • Rebecca is nothing short of incredible! She was a necessity for our wedding planning process and coordination, and we all agreed hiring her was the most valuable choice we made during it. From the very first intro call where we had been speaking to a lot of new vendors, deciding what worked for us, which personalities we matched with, and beginning to understand all that it would take to pull off an incredible event, she made us feel at ease!

    She is an absolute professional - she keeps things very realistic, but positive, and knows how to work well with many different people in the industry. She knew when she needed to encourage them to follow up with us or something was due on our end, she was always very kind about it. We trusted her as she knew many of the vendors we would be working with and she also came with great recommendations when we weren’t sure on a vendor. She takes comprehensive notes of your conversations so that no idea or thought is forgotten and it makes you feel so valued as a client that she cares so much about your big day. Our families were equally impressed with her professionalism and care for her clients.

    With the coordination package, we were so much less stressed than other couples we’ve witnessed, since Rebecca handled the majority of communication amongst vendors in the month leading up to the wedding (and even was on top of it prior to taking a much deserved vacation for herself!). We were able to be fully present on our wedding day and thoroughly enjoyed it, which is everything it should be! We cannot recommend her enough and are so happy to follow her now on Instagram where we can see all the difference she’s making in other couples’ big days!

  • I truly cannot thank Rebecca enough for all of her help planning our wedding. She made sure to take into account every small detail that we wanted, and made it a reality. My bridesmaids kept saying how prepared she was day-of for any and every issue (which were minimal thanks to her excellent planning). She was always on top of things with spreadsheets and checklists, and always held us accountable when making decisions before due dates. She also has so many helpful resources and documents that I would've been so confused without. I would recommend her to anyone!!

  • Rebecca was amazing as our wedding coordinator. From the outset, her attention to detail was impeccable. Every nuance, every little facet of our wedding, was looked into with a fine-toothed comb, ensuring that nothing was left to chance. One of the most commendable aspects of working with them was their ability to seamlessly organize and coordinate with our various vendors. She ensured everyone was on the same page, which made our special day flow without a hitch. This not only eased our worries but also made the entire process smoother for everyone involved. Communication with Rebecca was always clear, concise, and prompt. She was always available and responded with clarity and efficiency. This level of accessibility and responsiveness is a rarity, and it was greatly appreciated. Lastly, having Rebecca as a sounding board for our myriad of ideas was invaluable. Her insights and expertise guided us, helping mold our vision into a reality far better than we could've ever imagined. She provided the perfect balance of professional advice and personal touch, ensuring our wedding was both flawless and uniquely ours. If you're seeking a coordinator who embodies excellence in organization, communication, and genuine passion for turning dreams into reality, look no further than Something Profound Weddings. Highly recommended!

  • Rebecca is incredible, hands down an exceptional person, and fantastic to work with. If you have any opportunity to work with Rebecca I highly recommend to do so! Rebecca has made the whole wedding planning process such an enjoyable & memorable experience and without Rebecca’s help, we would not have had such an amazing wedding day. Rebecca is the utmost professional, able to handle anything we could throw at her with her wealth of experience, her access/network to some of the best wedding vendors and simply her huge amount of knowledge about anything in the wedding industry. She was paramount in assisting us with navigating the selection of certain vendors, helping us with the event planning and logistics side, and outlining the steps needed to be properly married. We worked with Rebecca in preparation for our marriage in May 2023 where she served both as our wedding planner, day of coordinator, and officiant. In all three capacities she has gone above and beyond our level of expectations and has delivered to us one unforgettable wedding weekend that our closest friends, and family cannot stop raving about. As an officiant, over the course of a couple months Rebecca got to know us quite well as a couple and was able to craft a highly personalized and tailored wedding ceremony that intertwined many of the details she came to learn about our relationship including how we met, some of our anecdotes, having our personalities come across the ceremony, and the values and hopes we want to achieve in this marriage. It means the world that she was able to effectively craft a narrative but also deliver an eloquently, emotionally charged ceremony, in which guests could not stop saying how well structured and crafted it was but also how beautiful and thoughtful it was. As a day of coordinator and as our planner, all the logistics in the lead up and for the marriage day including our preparation for the wedding day, transportation & lodging, photography and videography covering us throughout our offsite and on-site photo locations, coordination of all the vendors for catering and décor and taking us to the finish line insuring cocktail hour, and dinner service all operated so smoothly without a hitch. Throughout the planning process, Rebecca always listened to any of our ideas or concerns, and was able to provided us sound reasoning and recommendations, while addressing our thoughts. She was always on top of everything, exceptionally organized and always keeping track of us making sure we were completing all the various wedding planning tasks needed. Working with her was so easy as she was so respectful, thoughtful, and kind to us. It is bittersweet as I will miss working with her and she simply did such an amazing job I wanted her to come celebrate with us on the dance floor, but she delivered a home-run wedding and one I know we will never forget. Rebecca if you read this you are the best!! Please book SPW & Rebecca because I cannot sing her praises and recommend her highly enough!

  • Rebecca was an amazing officiant for our wedding! She has an amazing way with words, and was able to craft a perfectly worded ceremony for us! I would highly recommend her!

  • Rebecca is the absolute MVP of our wedding. She is unbelievably professional and an exceptional human. She was so wonderful to work with and was incredibly patient with all of our questions. Our day would not have been as special as it was without her. I highly recommend recruiting her to your team! Rebecca made the entire wedding process feel smooth and was so helpful. She was a key part of relieving our anxieties and such a help in all things leading up to and execution on the day of. The event was so memorable and fun in large part because of her experience and love for what she does. You truly feel taken care of and your wedding day will be so much better off with her on your dream team. It did not matter what came up in the bumps on day of (and believe me there are always going to be things that come up) she was able to handle anything and everything that came her way. Her wealth of knowledge and professionalism know no bounds. She was great in making sure we felt calm and collected and we were able to run by our thoughts and ideas with her. She is always there to make time for her couples and help in any way she can. She was vital in helping us navigate the little details we never knew/thought of and instrumental in walking us through the pieces we did have mapped out. She helped connect us to the right contacts and made sure everything went smoothly from contracts, to timelines, etc. She went above and beyond to make us feel loved and taken care of. She delivered the most exception wedding day either of us could have hoped for. Everyone from our friends, family, wedding party and other vendors had nothing but praise when speaking about Rebecca. Over the months of working with her she really engaged with us and got to know Ryan and I on a deeper level. She knew our likes and dislikes and helped to make our day personalized to us and our needs. She made sure all our vendors where up to speed on our timeline and the weekend events. All the logistics went smoothly because of her attention to detail. Rebecca even helped to make sure we got a break and had food at the ready above what our reception venue provided, making us a few plates during cocktail hour. When someone dropped a glass on the dancefloor, she was on top of it. From planning to execution it all succeeded because of Rebecca's tireless efforts to help us. She truly is one of the most caring and organized people I have ever met. You can tell she truly loves what she does and you feel it in the experience working with her. There is melancholy writing this because our time has come to an end with her and we loved every moment and interaction we had with her. It is with our highest recommendation of support and praise that we could provide that we recommend Something Profound Weddings and Rebecca Pope. I promise you there will be nothing but happiness and joy in having her a part of your team.

  • 9 months out:
    We are in the midst of wedding planning with Rebecca and I am not lying when I say this wedding would be nothing without her. She is excellent in every way possible. Rebecca keeps us organized, gives us a push when we need it, offers sound advice and recommendations, listens to our ideas and incorporates them perfectly, and makes us feel better about everything every step of the way. She is professional but kind and fun. She also knows all the best vendors in the city. I recommend her to everyone looking for a planner. Don’t think twice!

    Post-wedding:
    There are no words to accurately describe how incredible Rebecca was. Our wedding was beautiful and memorable because of Rebecca. She kept us on track, reminded us of important deadlines and considerations, sourced vendors, provided recommendations, offered fun ideas, and helped us make big decisions. She is organized, thorough, punctual, and the perfect level of assertive and diligent. She also is a lovely person. It was the ultimate pleasure to work with her. I recommend Rebecca to everyone getting married. Hire her - I guarantee you will not be disappointed.

  • My partner and I had a particular, personal vision for our wedding -- but were daunted by the amount of coordination and planning to make it a reality. Rebecca was able to understand that vision, coach and gently guide us through getting everything lined up and in order -- using a software task list and being gracious when I deviated. Rebecca re-assured us that we were on track, it was our first time doing this and it was nice to hear from a pro that we didn't need to worry leading up to the event. Rebecca and Noah truly shined the day of, a wedding is an overwhelming experience, filled with lots of intense emotions. They were able to keep the whole ceremony and reception running smoothly and seamlessly. We never, ever worried about a single thing and were able to be fully present, enjoying what may be the only time all our families are together. We are immensely grateful to Rebecca and her team, and would highly recommend her to any other couple out there considering a wedding coordinator. You pour so much energy and thought leading up to the day, it's truly important to have a competent coordinator that can make sure you're able to bring your whole self to the event the day of. Thank you once again, Rebecca

  • We used Rebecca as a partial coordinator (90 days leading up to the wedding), and it was the best decision we made throughout the planning process. Rebecca went above and beyond from the first day we booked her. She had helpful and interactive tools that helped streamline the process and ensured we knew exactly what needed to be completed along the way and when. For vendor-related items we didn’t need to be involved in, Rebecca handled them like the pro she is; we never once needed to jump in and were told by our vendors that she was great to work with. We were very detail-oriented and had concerns about many smaller items. Rebecca ensured these were not overlooked and was very helpful in suggesting possible solutions, reaching out to our vendors as needed, and keeping us calm. Rebecca helped map out every minute of the big day and ensured everyone involved was on the same page, including all 13 separate vendors we were working with. A handful of these vendors told us that her tools and communication were unlike any other coordinators they’ve worked with before, which helped ensure that everything went off without a hitch. On the day of, she was amazing - helping us get off to pictures on time with everything we needed, ensuring everything was set-up perfectly, checking in with us throughout the day to make sure we had everything we needed, and was just on top of everything for us. It allowed us, and our families, to relax. On top of everything else, at the end of the night, there were a couple minor items that were left behind at the venue that many people would’ve probably ignored/disposed of that Rebecca went out of her way to bring to our hotel, showing how much she really cares about every little thing being perfect! We highly recommend working with Rebecca!

  • Rebecca was an incredible Officiant! From the get-go, she was a great resource for us and was so helpful in walking us through the logistics of a legal ceremony (timeline, marriage license requirements, etc). She came with so many cool ideas and the script she crafted–absolutely perfect. Working with her was easy, she was receptive to feedback and so so respectful of what we were wanting our ceremony to reflect. We had so many of our guests tell us how beautiful and special to us the ceremony felt. Thank you so much Rebecca!!

  • Rebecca is an incredible planner and coordinator, I would wholeheartedly recommend her and her team to help you make your wedding day as stress-free as possible. We brought Rebecca on as a coordinator and she was invaluable for helping us tie up loose ends (there were many!) and get the whole vendor team ready for a smooth event. We did a few non-traditional things, had various family and friends helping, and the event was in a venue Rebecca was new to -- and she pulled everything off seamlessly! Or, at least that was my experience as the bride, which says a lot! You will not regret one penny spent on Rebecca's kind, attentive, and amazingly organized planning/coordinating. I was pulling my hair out trying to plan a wedding during an intense and stressful season at work, and really not enjoying the process. After bringing Rebecca on, things got so much better, and she was there to problem-solve, manage vendor questions and coordination, and generally kept me sane (i.e. No, I didn't need to be scouring Facebook for a card box if the idea filled me with dread. She'd check to see if the caterer had a basket we could use). I am completely and blissfully unaware of any problems that might have arisen the day of the wedding, and I truly believe that is because of Rebecca's planning and help.

  • My husband and I booked Rebecca as our Officiant for our wedding, we were recommended to her by our planner. We spoke to Rebecca before locking her in, and felt like she had a great understanding of how to express a couple's love for one another and help us write personalized vows for our big day. I am so thrilled and happy we did because she made the whole process so easy for us. We spoke with her two times over video call before the wedding, but the day of it was like we had known her forever. She made the wedding ceremony so special and true to us! Honestly, Rebecca took the time to get to know us ahead of time, which is why everything felt so us. She also provided us with details on how to apply & pick up our marriage license, she also mailed it in for us, and provided information for how to do the name change. We cannot recommend her enough!

  • Had a phenomenal time working with Rebecca on making our wedding perfect and run without a hitch. Highly highly recommended. I wish there were 6 stars I could click!

  • Hiring Rebecca was the best decision I made in the whole wedding process (besides, you know, deciding to marry my now husband). We hired Rebecca for several services: she was our wedding coordinator, officiant, and sourced a couple of our vendors. In everything we hired her to do, she absolutely crushed it. As an officiant, Rebecca guided us through a ceremony that celebrated our religious and cultural traditions. She never pushed anything on us, but offered options of what our ceremony could look like and crafted a custom ceremony based on what resonated with us as a couple. As a coordinator, Rebecca was the MVP of our wedding. We started working with her several months prior to source a few vendors, and her recommendations were fantastic. She was an excellent partner during the planning process, making herself available for regular check ins and providing detailed timelines and checklists to ensure we stayed on track. No matter what question I had, Rebecca was a great resource to making sure I had the right information to make a decision. She was professional with our other vendors and provided clear direction and timelines so our day ran smoothly. Another thing I loved about Rebecca was that she tailored her communication style to fit my preferences — I was a type A bride and craved lots of updates and she worked hard to make sure I felt I had what I needed. On the day of our wedding, Rebecca was a STAR. Seriously she was the reason I was able to relax and enjoy my wedding. She made sure the whole day ran smoothly and everyone knew where they were supposed to be. She was prepared for ANYTHING that came up and worked diligently to make sure our wedding day vision came to life. I am so thankful I hired Rebecca. If you are thinking of hiring a coordinator, HIRE REBECCA!!

  • This review is LONG overdue. My wife and I had Rebecca plan not 1, but 2 of our weddings. We did the legal quick elopement during 2020 due to covid with a close group, as well as the big celebration the year later. Throughout the process of both of these weddings Rebecca was incredibly helpful, so much so that the only real advice I give to anyone getting married is to GET A WEDDING PLANNER! I know I certainly appreciated all the effort Rebecca put into planning our weddings and I know my wife did even more. She does awesome work coordinating with all of the vendors, important people, and making sure everything goes smoothly. Aside from doing all of the usual stuff you might expect from a wedding planner, with her expertise she does things you would not think of or otherwise be able to do on your own. One instance of this was when she helped us negotiate our food and drink minimum down due to covid and saved us THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS. Rebecca 100% does amazing work throughout the planning process, day of coordinating, and goes way above and beyond making sure everything is perfect down to the smallest detail. I promise you will not regret hiring her to help you plan your wedding.

  • Rebecca is an absolute rockstar. We ended up working with her for nearly three years thanks to postponing our wedding once due to COVID, and I can honestly say I'll miss having an excuse to chat with her. I deeply appreciated that Rebecca didn't have a singular vision of what a wedding "should" look like. Whenever we asked for what we should do for xyz tradition, she usually started her answer with "Well, you can really do whatever you want." As a type-A bride with a vision who didn't really enjoy wedding planning, Rebecca was the perfect planning partner. She never pushed for a particular result, but she researched options, provided pro/con lists, and helped us remember our priorities. I was particularly impressed with the timelines she started making in the last couple weeks before our wedding day – it was so reassuring to know that I didn't have to keep track of what everyone was supposed to be doing or even where I needed to be. I learned after our wedding day that she even let my partner drop off a surprise gift for me at her house so it was waiting for me at my getting-ready location! All that to say – if you're thinking of hiring a planner or coordinator, you can't go wrong with Rebecca.

  • We hired Rebecca as our officiant for our wedding and honestly wish we would have hired her to be our planner/coordinator as well instead of the other company we went with. She was so incredible to work with and did such an amazing job on our ceremony script. It was better than we ever could have imagined and had several guests compliment on it as well. Highly recommend RMP Chicago Events!

  • Rebecca really made me feel comfortable in helping me put together a speech for my sister's wedding. I was really worried and almost at my wits end to the point I wanted to hire someone to write it. However; Rebecca walked me thru some questions that helped me put how I felt into words and now I have an awesome speech and no anxiety over it. 100% go with Rebecca.

  • Rebecca Pope was the best decision we made for our small wedding ceremony, and we cannot recommend her enough. We were from out of town, and she gave us a great walk through and heads up on the paperwork we'd need and set us up for success from the very beginning. Leading up to the ceremony we were given the options and the input we wanted, and on the day was immensely supportive and professional. We had a great time with her, and hope you do as well!

  • Rebecca was an absolutely amazing officiant. She took the time to get to know us (via email and Zoom calls) and personalize our vows to match the vision we had for our elopement. We only had 8 weeks to plan our elopement, but she was on top of her duties as an officiant every step of the way! She also gave us extra advice from her experience as a wedding planner. I highly recommend using RMP as your officiant and/or wedding planner!

  • Rebecca needs to be a part of your big day! As our officiant, she made our micro wedding extremely personal - and completely stress free. She went above and beyond with our ceremony - which included personalized notes from our family members. Our ceremony exceeded expectations. Rebecca is personable yet professional, an excellent communicator and super organized. She made certain we had everything we needed for a flawless wedding.

  • I’m writing a second review for Rebecca as we hired her last year for our mini elopement and hired her again for our big wedding/reception this year. Bottom line: HIRE HER! Rebecca is awesome at what she does. She is super organized, helps you stay on track for planning, is resourceful in helping you find and work with vendors, and is just a super genuine and thoughtful person to work with! She helped us plan a wedding amid the craziness of COVID, helping address any and all bumps in the road that are inevitable up until the day of! She is there for you and advocating for you throughout the process, start to finish. On the day of the wedding she freaking NAILED it. There are so many moving pieces - each of the wedding parties, the venue, the reception, all of the vendors - and she coordinated and executed everything for us beautifully. She is so thoughtful and well prepared. Need something you forgot? She has it. Know where you’re supposed to be? She does. Vendors supposed to be somewhere at a specific time? She’s on it. Your vision come to life? Yep, she did it. Seriously, our day went exactly as planned because of her. If you are debating whether or not a planner is worth it, I’ll tell you this - YES, especially Rebecca - whether you are having an intimate wedding or a big one!

    ***

    Rebecca has been absolutely AMAZING. We completely pivoted our wedding due to COVID, postponing the big event to next year and instead eloping this year. Rebecca did such a fantastic job and has such attention to detail, listens to what you want, and handles all vendors professionally and perfectly. We planned everything in only a few months, and the day went just as planned! She handled every bump in the road for us, working to get us the perfect day. We loved her so much we hope to keep her for next year! Rebecca is also a licensed officiant and did a fantastic job marrying us. I am so glad we found her! If you are looking for a planner, hire her!!!

  • My wife and I hired Rebecca as our officiant for our recent wedding on July 3rd. We would give her 6 stars if we could. She went WAY above and beyond what we expected in all aspects. She was always quick to respond, super organized, and is also a wonderful person. We would not have been able to get married without her advice and help. Very thankful we hired her.

  • The BEST decision we made when planning our wedding was hiring Rebecca of RMP. I don't want to get cheesy or dramatic here, but I tear up when I think about how amazing she made our day and the weeks leading up to it. If you read nothing else from this review, read this: HIRE REBECCA.

  • We had Rebecca as our officiant at our wedding on 10/31/20. Our wedding was last minute and she brought everything together so beautifully. I couldn't recommend her enough. She was professional, knowledgeable, and full of personality. We are so happy and lucky to have Rebecca help us tie the knot on our special day!

  • If you’re looking for a sign to help you decide on a planner or if it’s worth it, this review is for you! Rebecca made wedding planning a true joy. It didn’t matter what it was- she was flexible, easy to get ahold of, dependable, and so much fun to work with. By the time the day rolled around, I was stress free and excited to focus and be present throughout the day. Rebecca assembled the worlds most remarkable team of vendors and they were all a dream to work with. She knows her stuff and knows everyone you could ever need in the industry. She got my vision and I could trust her implicitly with every aspect of the day. The only complaint I have was that by the end of the process, I wanted Rebecca on the dance floor celebrating with us as a guest! I cannot recommend SPW highly enough. Do yourself a favor: book SPW now!

  • Rebecca was an amazing officiant. She was so easy to work with and responded quickly to all the ceremony suggestions and questions we had. We had guests comment on how heartfelt and meaningful the ceremony was, thanks to Rebecca! We highly recommend using Rebecca as your wedding day officiant.

  • If you're looking for a caring, organized, and passionate wedding planner and officiant, look no further than Rebecca with Something Profound Weddings. From day one she was instrumental to helping create a perfect day for my clients. From her helpful tips, vision, fanny pack full of tools, and positive demeanor, she's a dream to work with! I highly recommend her and look forward to our next event together.

  • As a venue owner, I could not recommend Rebecca enough. I have worked with her on multiple occasions, and she is always on top of her game and ensures that everything runs smoothly. She is extremely thorough, incredibly responsive, and she truly goes above and beyond for her clients.

  • I had the pleasure of working alongside Rebecca as a vendor for a wedding recently, and let me just say, she is a ROCK STAR planner that clearly takes pride in making her clients' wedding day vision come to life. As the owner of a wedding DJ company I have worked with many planners but rarely am I impressed enough / moved to review them. I would highly recommend Rebecca to any client looking for help with planning and wedding day execution.

  • I recently worked with Rebecca and her team on a multi-day wedding and have to say, Something Profound is one of the best around. They handled all of the planning leading up to the day with so much care and attention. On the day of, they were keeping us on track and all with a smile. They are great. If you are looking for a planner that is super organized and prepared for all of the things, do not wait to book Rebecca and her team. They are fantastic.

  • I worked with Rebecca for a reception dinner at our restaurant and had a wonderful time with her staff. She is detailed, organized, and very professional. In case you are considering something profound, PLEASE do it. The couple was very happy and their staff meshed well with ours. We hope to work with Something Profound again soon!

  • Rebecca was so great to work with. We had her as our officiant and are so happy we found her. Unlike a lot of people we know, we weren't interested in having a family member or friend officiate our wedding, and Rebecca reinforced why that was the right decision. Her organization and expertise made planning our ceremony so easy, enjoyable, and customized to us. On our wedding day, her calming presence was so appreciated to help ease the nerves we inevitably had. Thank you, Rebecca!

  • Thank you for submitting our marriage license and for guiding us through the marriage certificate process, it made everything  much easier. We also so appreciate the beautiful ceremony. We’ve gotten so many compliments on your remarks, and they truly made the day feel even more special! Thanks again for everything!

  • Thank you so much for sending this over—and for all of your support throughout the process. It was truly a pleasure working with you, and we’re so glad we chose you as our officiant.

  • Thank you so much for all your help throughout this process! Your sermon was lovely and our wedding felt very special. Zach's mom, Donnette told us afterwards how much she enjoyed your sermon. Thank you for rolling with the punches with my family and all your help on Sunday, we both feel very grateful to have had you there to help us get married.

  • I watched five of Rebecca's six videos yesterday and plan to finish the last one today. They've been extremely helpful. In fact, one of her first big tips was to make sure I connect with the event coordinator in advance, and the coordinator was impressed!

    The day before the ceremony I had a bit of a panic that everything was accounted for and I was able to refer back to the videos to reassure myself I was prepared. It was super helpful because the training is specific to Cook County. Thank you!

  • We feel so incredibly grateful for all our vendors, especially, Rebecca! Thank you for being such a steady guide, a calming presence, and an incredible support throughout this journey. We couldn’t imagine doing this without you!

  • Thank you so so much for our interfaith ceremony script draft! This makes it all seem so real! We got so excited that after we read it we wound up wanting to share it with my mom right away. My mom looked over the Hindu elements and she was floored by how you had managed to convey the essence of it in a more contemporary way. She says the saptapadi you wrote is better than anything she has found. She and we really want to thank you for the thought and research you have clearly put into the Hindu rituals.

    We particularly liked the personal touches you put in (I laughed out loud at parts). Thank you for composing this, it felt so intentional and thoughtful. 

  • I was skeptical about the need for a wedding coordinator but my now husband was insistent. I'm so glad he was because it led us to Rebecca and her team. Rebecca was so organized, gave us great recommendations, and asked questions of vendors that I would have never thought of. And that was before the actual wedding weekend! Rebecca and her team were helpful with every facet and every detail. Out guests were extremely impressed with their presence and obvious knowledge and capacity to help. It was well worth every penny and more!

  • I have nothing but good things to say about Rebecca, our officiant  from Something Profound Weddings. We were paired with her from our venue - The Lytle House in Chicago. From the get-go she was always so responsive. She learned our story and crafted a great plan of action incorporating brainstormed ceremony rituals like hand fasting and ring warming. Rebecca was so helpful, and a great coordinator to really hone in on what we were looking for. I would recommend Rebecca any day. Thank you!

  • Having Rebecca as both our wedding officiant and premarital counselor was such a gift. From the very beginning, she brought so much warmth, openness, and flexibility. She made it clear that our ceremony could look and feel any way we wanted, and she came to the table with a wealth of thoughtful, creative ideas that made it even more meaningful.

    The premarital counseling sessions were just as impactful. Rebecca gave us tools and frameworks that not only helped us prepare for marriage but also continue to shape how we communicate as a couple. My now-husband and I still reference things we learned with her, and we’re so grateful for that foundation.

    On the wedding day itself, Rebecca was a true professional and such a calming, grounding presence. Our guests couldn’t stop raving about how personal, heartfelt, and beautifully delivered the ceremony was. We honestly can’t imagine our wedding without her; she made it unforgettable in the best way possible.

  • I just want to thank you for making my Mary Kate and Will’s wedding such a beautiful and unforgettable day. Everything was amazing, and I know it was because of your hard work, patience, and attention to detail. You took away so much stress and allowed us to truly enjoy the celebration. I’ll always remember how smoothly everything went and how special you made it for our family. And lastly, a big thank you for bustling my dress — it was greatly appreciated!

  • We can’t say enough wonderful things about Something Profound Weddings - Rebecca brought such calm, thoughtful, and detailed energy to every step of the process and helped us create the most intimate, seamless, and joy-filled restaurant wedding in Chicago. The day flowed effortlessly thanks to Rebecca and Lizzie's incredible organization and communication. We were able to be fully present and just enjoy ourselves. Everything ran like a dream. We went with a coordination package that included unlimited planning meetings, and used these sessions to consult Rebecca and her unlimited knowledge and expertise to plan the right day for us. Invaluable stuff! Hire SPW!

  • We are so grateful that Rebecca was our officiant. We are pretty private, introverted people, and we honestly didn’t give her a lot to work with. Somehow, she took the little we shared and crafted a ceremony that felt completely authentic to us. It perfectly reflected our relationship, our values, and the family we’ve built together.

    One of the most meaningful parts was the customized handfasting ceremony she created. Rebecca found a beautiful way to include all five of our kids, making them an important part of the ceremony instead of just spectators. It became one of our favorite memories from the day.

    Rebecca was warm, professional, responsive, and thoughtful throughout the entire process. She made everything feel easy, and we always knew we were in good hands.

    Looking back, I truly can’t imagine our wedding any other way. She made our ceremony so personal and meaningful, and we’re incredibly thankful she was part of such an important day. We would recommend her without hesitation.
