Celebrating a Memorable 2024 & Embracing a Bright 2025

As 2024 draws to a close, we are full of joy and gratitude — this year has been a whirlwind of love, laughter, and unforgettable moments shared with our amazing couples and clients. While we toast to the memories made, we're bubbling with excitement for what 2025 has in store!

2024 was a game-changer in the events world. In-person gatherings continued to thrive, coupled with a growing appetite for unique, personalized experiences. As Chicago's go-to event planning experts, we're all about riding this wave of change and taking our offerings to the next level to give our clients exactly what they're dreaming of – and then some!

This past year, we had the privilege of orchestrating over 20 show-stopping events. From one-of-a-kind weddings to buzzing social soirées, heartwarming nonprofit fundraisers, and dynamic association functions – each celebration was as unique as the story behind it. We were thrilled to bring events to life at some of our favorite venues as well as some of the most exciting in Chicago, including The Salt Shed, Revel Motor Row, the Old Post Office, Union Station and The University Club. A big shoutout to our fantastic venue partners and vendors – you make magic happen!

Our very own Katherine has been busy wearing multiple hats (and rocking them all!). As President of the Board of Directors for WIPA Chicago, she's been the driving force behind initiatives that have brought our community closer than ever. WIPA's membership skyrocketed to over 170 passionate professionals, and we hosted six knockout events that had everyone talking. Katherine also continued her role as Vice Chair for WIPA National’s first-ever Leadership Development Committee, focusing on nurturing the next generation of industry leaders.

Stepping into 2025, we're not just keeping up with trends – we're setting them! We're diving headfirst into sustainable event planning and embracing cutting-edge tech to create experiences that are not only unforgettable but also kind to our planet. From eco-chic decor to seamless virtual options, we're crafting events that tick all the boxes for today's savvy clients.

Our commitment to giving back remains stronger than ever. This year, we've shone a spotlight on various charities and made monthly contributions to causes close to our hearts. Stay tuned for our exciting 2025 charitable initiatives – we can't wait to share them with you!

To our wonderful clients and supporters – you're the real MVPs. Your trust and enthusiasm fuel our passion for creating jaw-dropping events that leave lasting impressions. We're beyond excited to continue this journey with you in 2025, dreaming up and delivering even more extraordinary experiences.
