Hi, I’m Sholeh Munion, CMP.

I’ve been helping couples turn their wedding dreams into reality for over 20 years. With a dual degree in Management and Marketing and a certification in Professional Meeting and Event Planning, I bring the perfect balance of creativity, organization, and heartfelt care to every event.

Planning a wedding should be joyful, not stressful.

My goal is to handle the details and logistics so you can focus on what truly matters—celebrating your love with the people who mean the most to you. From intimate gatherings to grand celebrations, I bring a warm, personalized approach to ensure your day is as unique as your story.

With experience working across cultures, religions, and traditions, I approach every event with sensitivity and creativity. Whether you’re envisioning a simple backyard wedding or an elaborate destination affair, I’m here to guide you every step of the way.

When I’m not planning weddings, I’m spending time with my husband and two daughters, serving my local community, reading (104 books last year!), baking, exploring nature and camping, or traveling. I’ve visited 45 states and nine countries, and my love for new experiences inspires the care and thoughtfulness I bring to every event.

Let’s make your wedding day unforgettable—stress-free, joyful, and full of cherished memories!

My approach: to empower the couple to discover the kind of wedding that they want.

Each wedding is unique and powerful. There are no rules anymore – let’s plan YOUR event!

I’m half Persian, half white, and grew up here in the United States - surrounded by a wide range of people from different backgrounds. Fusion weddings, Baha’i, Hindu, Jewish, Christian, Catholic, Persian, Middle-Eastern, non-religious weddings, multiple ceremonies, weddings in nature or in the city…each has their own needs and I love creating custom packages that are sensitive to each wedding.

Originally from New Hampshire and now based in Chicago, I bring a warm, thoughtful touch to every love story we help tell. When I’m not celebrating weddings, I’m soaking up life’s little joys—singing, traveling, and chasing around my sweet 3-year-old with my husband by my side.
