Introduction

At-The-Altar is a Wedding Services business we offer Partial/Month and Day of Coordination, Photo booth, Mobile Bartending, as well as Officiating needs. We have been awarded the Couples Choice award by WeddingWire/The Knot! What an honor. Thank you to all our past couples for your support, rave reviews and business. We hope we can continue to bring that EXCELLENCE to our current and future clients. THANK YOU all very much. Meet the Founder/ CEO: My name is Elizabeth (Liz) Staniszewski. I am an Wedding Coordinator and Ordained Minister, ordained since 2018 by the Universal Life Church. My first ceremony was performed for my sister and her partner Justyna - two of the most fabulous women I know. When they asked me to marry them there was ZERO hesitation, The idea of performing their ceremony was amazing and I was overwhelmed with excitement and pride. It was both wonderful and a memorable experience! It took me a while to realize (after many conversations with myself mostly ha-ha), that I was meant to do this and more. Being part of a couples' event in which they give themselves to each other fully brings me happiness, in that I can help create a memorable ceremony, event and day. It gives me such pleasure to be able to offer our wedding services to our couples as it being such a big day you deserve to enjoy every part of it! So let's get MARRIED! LGBTQIA+ community friendly.

At-the-Altar was amazing! We had a bunch of late changes but they made our day perfect!! Highly recommended for any event you are planning. They are always very responsive, took all the stress of the day of wedding away.

We could not be happier with Liz and her team for their dedication and hard work in their day-of coordination services. They really were the key to the success of the event and made sure everything ran smoothly. They were a joy to be around, worked extremely well with our family during set up, and from start to finish made every moment count. Honestly, no words seem right to show how grateful we are. Thank you so much!

We had Pastor Chris officiate our wedding ceremony a few weeks ago and he was incredible. He delivered an absolutely beautiful message during our ceremony. He was light hearted but passionate. Everything went incredibly smooth. We couldn’t be happier with his services. Would highly reccomend.

Elizabeth is clearly experienced and easy to book as a day of coordinator - she is friendly, has the lowest rate in Chicago; and promptly appeared at the meeting with our caterer and venue. Leading up to the wedding day, it was difficult to get hold of her or get a copy of the timeline. Perhaps this is a one-off due to the busy season or family illness. She was also supposed to have an assistant or helper but it was just her (confirm this detail when you book). However, she does respond to her emails promptly, emailed all our vendors in advance, and on the day of the wedding she was present and helped with set up. When we made some last minute day of change, she was communicative and flexible and nice to everyone. I recommend hiring her if you’re on the fence about whether you need a coordinator as Elizabeth is a helpful and nice person!
