exactly what does a wedding planner do? (and what we do that others don’t!)

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!)

intimate backyard wedding in logan square

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.

creative and chic ovation chicago 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.

effortlessly cool wedding at ovation chicago

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.

elegant pilsen wedding at thalia hall

Lindsey + Jeff’s vintage Chicago wedding at Thalia Hall came together beautifully. It’s hard to believe they got married in January – in Chicago – when you look at their pictures. They look so relaxed and happy, you would think they were hanging out in a tropical paradise. But no, they braved the cold and had such a cool wedding at Thalia Hall, one of our all time fave venues!
