We hear it all the time… so exactly what do you do? Or our personal favorite, “OMG! I had no idea you did all of that!” It’s clear that when it comes to wedding planning, most of our clients and their friends and family don’t really know what to expect and that’s okay, because it’s likely that you haven’t worked with a wedding planner before. So, we thought we’d take a minute to try to explain exactly what it is we do. (And point out some things that we do that others don’t!)
Keith + Daryl’s fall backyard wedding was everything an Anticipation Events wedding should be. It was full of happy people celebrating their years of love behind them and to come. It was low-key and casual in the best possible way. And, of course, it had little unexpected details that made it the epitome of an AE wedding.
Micah + Peter’s Ovation Chicago wedding was so fun to plan. When we met Micah, it was love at first sight. Oh wait, that was when Peter met Micah. Ok, well, it was pretty close. We loved Micah from the minute we met her at Camp Indie Wed, but had to wait over a year for her Ovation Chicago wedding. And it was well worth the wait! Not only does this couple know how to throw a great party, but they are just the sweetest, most grateful people on the planet. It’s not often that we get thanked by the bride and groom during their speech.
So you got engaged over the holidays and have no idea how to begin planning? Today, we’re turning the reigns over to our amazing intern Tara to help you get started. Tara worked with us this fall and saw everything from intimate backyard weddings to six-course extravaganzas. She learned a thing or two about weddings and she has some wedding planning advice for the newly engaged:
Meg + Kevin’s vintage wedding dream was a reality at Ovation Chicago. Effortlessly cool is the best way to describe the two of them and their vibe for the day. Even though a TON of work went into this one, in the end, the event just felt effortless in the best possible way.
