AN EVENT LESS ORDINARY: Chicagoโ€™s favorite inclusive planners!

We offer boutique, unique event planning and coordination services that put humor, love, and calm at the center of the process. Weโ€™ve honed our craft for seventeen years in the Windy City, and we are so proud of the team weโ€™ve assembled and relationships weโ€™ve cultivated. Events are human-centered and so are we.

We want you to have an extraordinary day full of your love for one another and your community. You relax and dance the night away. Weโ€™ll handle the stressful part.



โ€œThank you so much for all of your help, astute recommendations, awesome attitude, and overall badass helpfulness. We couldnโ€™t have pulled this thing off without you!โ€โ€
