Owner
A Chicago native, I have a decade of experience in weddings and events. Having previous experience in various areas of events, my background gives a unique perspective and industry knowledge that allows me to guide my couples through the wedding planning process. With every couple, my goal is to help them create a wedding that is truly reflective of who they are and tells their love story. In my spare time, I enjoy exploring the city's restaurant scene, keeping up with my weekly barre fitness, adding to my book collection, and snuggling with my Tuxedo cat Luna and my Frenchie Sunny
