I had the absolute pleasure of helping a past client and dear friend of mine, Julie, plan her Birthday Party last May. While working at Food For Thought, I met Julie and catered many events and parties for her and her family. Julie and I became fast friends and always stayed in touch even as […]

I had so much fun working with Megan and Adam for their Fall 2011 Wedding. Megan and Adam were engaged in 2009 and we had almost two years to plan their nuptials. We had so much fun together during the planning process – morning brunches, summer lunches, and afternoon meetings finalizing vendors and getting to […]

I met Meg and Dave two years before his and her wedding date and I still can’t believe how fast the time flew!  Meg and Dave live in Ann Arbor and when they came into town for the planning meetings, we would not only get much done in that short time, but we would talk and […]

I had so much fun getting to know Gina and Max throughout the wedding planning process.  Gina and Max met in college and had been together for over ten years.  It was important that their Chicago wedding was personal and representative of who they are as a couple. Tom Maluga (their Officiant) helped them write the entire ceremony and […]

Annie was in the middle of her residency while we planned her wedding and she knew exactly what she wanted – which always helps when it comes to a limited schedule!   Annie and Ian had an interfaith ceremony at Holy Family Church, one of my favorite churches in Chicago.   Dolce Strings provided the wedding ceremony music and I always […]

Whitney and Eric’s November wedding was full of laughter, wonderful family and friends, hilarious toasts and stories and a stunning setting.  I will never forget how much fun I had planning their Wedding at The Art Institute of Chicago’s Modern Wing.   Whitney and Eric met working together on Michigan Avenue and knew they wanted a city wedding.   The Modern Wing a […]

I had the pleasure of coordinating a friend’s wedding this past May. The groom, Zach, and I have known each other since the 6th grade and when his fiancé called me about their wedding, I was ecstatic. When Kathryn and I met to discuss her wedding I knew immediately we would become friends. We had […]

I find that it’s pretty easy to become friends with my clients. When you spend month after month together, planning their dream day over glasses of wine and laughter, a bond is always formed. This is what happened with Megan and Stephen and I this past year. This darling couple had a clear vision for […]

The moment I met Kristi, I knew we would be friends for life. And we are. Not only because we both share a love of wine, but because I felt like I was talking to one of my best friends from childhood during our initial meeting. Kristi is the sweetest girl I know; she has […]

It was the sweetest occasion. Anna & Charley’s rustic elegant wedding at Morton Arboretum had us wrapped up in their love. One of my favorite photos of the day was of Anna before she had her First Look with Charley – doesn’t she look like an angel? The backdrop of the outdoor venue really provided Dean […]
