Such “modern art” presentations on delicious and interesting nibbles at tonight’s Wedding Planners Open House at MCA tonight. This hot dog ( yes you heard me correct) was not only interesting to look at but had unexpected flavors. This was my fav of the night but all were so artistic and appetizing. Yum.

It’s National Pancake Day. I love to do an unexpected twist of the late night snack and serve breakfast. And I take it one step further and have a food truck outside of the venue as guests are leaving. Pancakes anyone?

I’ve laid out her train and veil perfectly. This is my all time favorite part of my job. Telling my to now take a deep breath, smile, (and lower her flowers) and it’s time to the aisle and her beloved is waiting for her.

when working with a couple on a full service wedding planning level, the first thing I do is a style interview. It gives me a chance to get to know them and things that they love that I can work into the details of the wedding. This weekend‘s couple absolutely love the beach. So I incorporated that into their cocktail hour. #ilovethebeach #beachvibes #weddingdetails #chicagoweddingplanner #chicagoweddingplanners #weddingplanner #weddingplanners #chicagoweddingplanning #weddingplanning

How did @yazzevents know this was my fav song by my all time fav group? The Music was a delight at tonight’s Anniversary party.

When I saw what genre of music that was requested for the Milestone Birthday I was designing, I turned to @beatmixchicago to add in this special performance. It was a HUGE hit!

When I got the vibe the family wanted to create with music for the Bday guy at last nights event, I had an idea that would make the night even more special. BKO’s C Notes were a huge hit.
