A few things you should know about how we 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. It’s 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.

Full Planning

Planning can easily turn into a full time job. Our full planning packages allow couples and their families to turn over the challenging parts of planning while retaining the decision-making and overall vision.

Pricing starts at $8,000

Plus a percentage of wedding elements that we manage on your behalf - talk to us about how this helps control your wedding costs and gives you transparency in the planning process.

Coordination

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 some items. You get to do the fun stuff!

Pricing starts at $3,900

Pricing varies based on location and need, and generally starts at $2,500. Reach out for more info!

Onboarding call upon booking

We'll review your current plans and what you need to do next!

Accessible & Communicative Partner

Email Communication

Copy me on an email with a vendor! Send a contract over for a quick review. Ask a quick question. Email is a great way to get your answers throughout the planning process.

Post-wedding wrap-up with vendors and the couple

I will follow up with all vendors and ensure that the photo gallery is sent out for use in social media.

Your Advocate Within the Industry

Vendor recommendations

I recommend vendors that I believe will align with your vision and budget. I do not take commission in exchange for recommendations - I just love these vendors!

Cost-saving strategies

There are a lot of tips and tricks that I'm happy to share and make sure that you can stay within budget.

Onsite staffing and setup of personal items

We make sure that all items such as escort cards, card boxes, signage, and other small items are set up for you. We keep everyone on schedule and work with your vendors so you can focus on your wedding fun!

Logistics meetings tailored to your package

We'll figure out the schedule together for how often to meet and ensure that you feel comfortable.

Making the Complicaticated Simple

Custom timeline creation

We will create a timeline that helps your vendors give you the correct pricing for your needs, streamline your day, and add enough buffers to ensure that things go smoothly.

  • Absolutely! Part of my job is helping you determine your needs.

  • I am based out of Chicago but I love planning all over and can easily plan remotely. I’ve worked events in many states and even internationally!

  • Absolutely!

  • I do not take commission from other vendors for recommendations. I only recommend people I think would be a good fit for your wedding.

FAQs

  • 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. We have a specific team dedicated to Persian Wedding Vendors, the Sofreh Aghd, and other specific needs. Learn more about this here.

  • 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.

  • I am currently listed as a preferred planner at a number of venues in Chicago and Naperville, including the Morton Arboretum, The Crawford, Naper Settlement, and more. However, I have worked at dozens of venues over the years (in many states!) and truly believe that a good planner can manage anywhere. 

  • I would say that most of my clients range between $20,000-$200,000. But I don’t place limits in either direction.
