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!
A few things you should know
about how I plan weddings:
Your wedding, your vision
I am here to support your ideas and help you find ways to make your wedding day the experience you imagine.
Inclusion and Love
I am a strong believer in the importance of diversity of all types. I have supported people from all backgrounds in their journey towards a lifetime of love together.
Short Engagements – Quick Turnaround
I specialize in planning weddings in a very short amount of time. Its a wonderful challenge and you’ll receive no judgement from me about your timelines!
Plan from anywhere, to anywhere
There are no geographic limitations. I’m comfortable working remotely for the planning process and have traveled extensively domestically and abroad.
Planning Types & Pricing
Each wedding is unique and we adjust our pricing to fit your needs.
Planning packages start at $3,250.
We will discuss your needs at our initial consultation to determine your costs and help keep you within budget.
You can reach out to me at any point in your planning process! Many of my basic coordination clients book my services around one year out from their wedding…and I’ve also planned full weddings in three months or less. Each package is adapted to my clients and allows them to choose the services they need for their own wedding.
Coordination
You are doing most of the work yourself, but need an expert to guide you, provide resources, and be there on the day of the event to carry out your dream!
Partial Planning
You know what you want, you just don’t have the time or expertise to execute the details and need someone to take care of most of it for you.
Custom Packages & Full Planning
Short planning timeframe? Want someone else to do most of the work for you? Need help with something specific? I love being creative and creating custom packages to fit your needs!
FAQs
I’m not sure what kind of help I need…can I still reach out?
Absolutely! Part of my job is helping you determine your needs.
Do you plan events anywhere?
I am based out of Chicago but I love planning all over and can easily plan remotely.
Are you insured?
Absolutely!
What budgets do most of your clients have?
I would say that most of my clients range between $20,000-$200,000. But I don’t place limits in either direction.
Do you have agreements with other vendors?
I do not take commission from other vendors for recommendations. I only recommend people I think would be a good fit for your wedding.
Do you have experience with different religions and cultures?
Yes! I have planned weddings of all types. Diversity and inclusion are very important to me and my goal is to ensure an authentic and loving experience.
My venue provides a venue coordinator. Do I still need a planner?
Yes. Most people don’t realize that the venue coordinator is there to see to the best interests of the venue. You need someone to be totally focused on your details, coordinating with other vendors, and problem-solving if something comes up.
Are you a preferred planner at any venues?
I am currently listed as a preferred planner at The Newberry Library, Salvatore’s, and The National Hellenic Museum, all in Chicago, as well as The Crawford, in Naperville. However, I have worked at dozens of venues over the years and truly believe that a good planner can manage anywhere.
