There are plenty of event planners in Chicago, but they’re not all created equal. Most professionals in this fieldwork in specific niches that target unique segments of the market.
This article will offer a comprehensive introduction to the types of event planners out there, the services they offer, the unique skills and training required to perform specialized types of event planning, and more.
Many couples are beginning to plan their own weddings rather than enlist the help of a professional event planner to help defer the average cost of a wedding. While many couples will swear by the help a wedding planner provides in making sure their big day goes on without any problems, it can feel good to take some of the processes into your own hands.
When you get engaged, it’s time for the wedding planning to begin. Some couples make the mistake of trying to plan their own wedding only a few months ahead of the event, only to find venues booked out.
The earlier you secure a venue, the better, especially if you are having the wedding at a popular time of year or at a destination venue. The earlier you secure a venue the two of you like, the less stressful the rest of the planning is.
But, what comes after the venue? What steps do you need to take to make sure the big day is as personalized for the two of you as possible while keeping the guests entertained? A wedding is meant to be a time of celebration and good times not just for the couple, but for the entire guest list, meaning a lot of consideration must go into the amenities and experience of the entire day.
Planning a full day’s itinerary and hiring vendors is a first for many couples, and the process can feel overwhelming.
In this wedding planning checklist, Anticipation Events provides a comprehensive guide to the big day to help keep things simple.
You might think that event planning is easy until it gets to the finances. Budgets are unfortunately a fact of event planning that must be considered if the event is to be successful.

In this article, you will learn the answer to “how do you price an event?” with help from the experts at Anticipation Events, an event planning company in Chicago.
Everything is weird right now. And even weirder that you all are out there trying to plan a wedding during this upside-down time. SO, anything that resembles the before times, or just a moment to get out of your routine and pretend things are normal is such a treat. So when the team at Belle Atelier asked us to swing by to see their new Chicago wedding dress shop (literally opened right as the pandemic got going) we jumped. We also showered, put on hard pants, lightly blow-dried, and put on EYE MAKE-UP (took a minute to remember how, tbh) so it’s clear we are in love with Giselle and the team.
The global pandemic has postponed so many weddings this year, but the silver lining is that it’s giving us more time to dive into all of the inspiration we can find on the web. Below are our top nine wedding blogs/websites for wedding inspiration. Happy browsing!
