Working Together
-
We specialize in thoughtfully designed events that bring people together with purpose. From executive dinners and corporate conferences to nonprofit galas, client appreciation events, retreats, milestone celebrations, and private gatherings, we tailor every event to your goals.
-
We're based in the Chicago area and work with clients locally and across the country. Whether you're hosting an event in your hometown or planning a destination gathering, we're happy to travel.
-
Not at all. While corporate events are a large part of what we do, we also plan private celebrations, nonprofit events, and other gatherings.
-
The earlier, the better, especially for larger events. We recommend reaching out as soon as you have a date or even a general timeframe in mind. That said, if you're working on a shorter timeline, don't hesitate to ask. We'll let you know what's possible.
Services & Pricing
-
We generally offer three levels of support (link to services page): full-service, hybrid, or consultative, but we’re happy to customize an option that best fits your needs.
-
We offer both starting package prices and custom proposals. Every event is different, so pricing is based on the scope, complexity, and level of support required.
-
Rather than requiring a minimum event budget, we focus on making the most of the budget you have. Our goal is to help you invest where it matters most and create an exceptional guest experience at every price point.
-
Absolutely. Thoughtful planning isn't about spending more; it's about spending wisely. Through strategic vendor sourcing, creative problem-solving, and careful budget management, we help clients maximize value without sacrificing quality.
Planning Process
-
It starts with a discovery call where we learn about your goals, timeline, and budget. From there, we'll develop a planning strategy, recommend vendors, coordinate logistics, and guide the event from concept through execution.
-
Yes. For full-service planning clients, we're there to oversee setup, manage vendors, troubleshoot behind the scenes, and ensure everything runs smoothly from beginning to end.
-
Absolutely. We're happy to collaborate with vendors you've already chosen or recommend new partners when needed.
Design & Guest Experience
-
We believe every gathering should begin with intention. Before we think about décor or timelines, we ask why people are coming together and what success looks like. That purpose shapes every decision, resulting in events that are not only beautiful but meaningful, memorable, and seamlessly executed.
-
Yes. We design events that feel cohesive and intentional, from layouts and tablescapes to lighting, signage, rentals, and guest flow. Every design decision supports the overall experience.
-
Absolutely. Whether it's an immersive dinner, interactive programming, custom culinary experiences, or thoughtful hospitality touches, we love helping clients create moments that guests will remember long after the event ends.
Logistics
-
Yes. While we're based in Chicago, we regularly plan events in other cities and are happy to travel wherever your event takes us.
-
That's entirely up to you. Some clients enjoy being involved in every decision, while others prefer to hand off the details. We tailor our process to your preferred level of involvement while keeping you informed every step of the way.
-
Planning for the unexpected is part of our job. We build contingency plans, communicate proactively with vendors, and solve problems behind the scenes so you can stay focused on your guests, not the logistics.
