Christena was able to meet with me many times to help make sure things were going how they should be. She has a ton of experience with weddings so she knows what works, what doesn't, and what problems to anticipate, and can help guide you along the way.  Her tireless and dedicated work made my wedding everything I dreamed of.

Timeless Elegant Events

Traditions are fun and all, but sometimes they can feel suffocating. Especially when your family and friends have some ideas that don’t align with your vision for your one-of-a-kind Chicago wedding.

But you have your own ideas about what getting married looks like — whether it’s an elegant grand ballroom wedding straight out of Pinterest or a quirky, intimate loft elopement.

As your wedding planner, our job is to make your vision a reality. Not your family's vision, not our vision — your vision. You can confide in us with your ideas and questions, and know that despite guiding you with our expert advice, you’ll always be in control. 

MEET CHRISTENA

Planning weddings that are

perfectly you.

Christena was very responsive and professional throughout the entire process. She was just as excited as I was to create our dream wedding. I was planning the wedding from a distance and she was so helpful in finding vendors to fit our vision and budget. I heard some people feel like planners take over the process and brides don't get a say, but I definitely didn't feel that way with Christena and the team.
