This is a 5 Star ⭐️ review from a real SBE Bride who was on the fence about booking for

With 5 events in 2 international locations celebrating their love & culture, we were honored to take this off their plates & execute an incredible experience at the highest level for our couple & their families.

“The joy of not only a wedding, but a beautiful marriage.”

We cannot believe how fast a year has gone by for Soma & Arya!!

One year ago, you embarked on this incredible journey together, and what a joy it was to witness every moment of your big day. From the intricate wedding weekend to the emotional ceremony, every detail reflected the love, culture, and traditions that make your story so special. 💖

As I think back to the planning, the laughter, and those late-night calls to ensure every aspect was perfect, I’m reminded of how much love and dedication you poured into each decision. The way your families came together, the tears of joy during your vows, and the celebration that followed—it was nothing short of magical. ✨

It’s been an honour to be part of the start of your forever, and seeing your love grow over this past year has truly been heartwarming. Here’s to many more years of happiness, love, and the journey ahead! May your bond continue to flourish and your days be filled with love and laughter.

With all my love and blessings,

The following is a five star ⭐️ review from a real SBE Bride ❤️

“…13 months later, SB Events pulled off what we would claim to be the most amazing wedding we have ever attended… and it was ours!

Details we didn’t even think of, the SB team intuitively thought of and executed.

Every niche, bespoke request was only met with a better version than we imagined.”

If you could build your wedding from scratch— start with a blank slate— where would you begin?

Many start with a location.

What’s most convenient for everyone? What’s a place special to us? What’s the venue that fits the vision?

Beyond logistics & guest counts & even price, your venue is the setting & grounds for your special day. It’s the maze your guests are led through while anticipating joy. It’s the frame that outlines your forever wedding photos. It’s the corners that hold memories of first looks, wedding scares, surprise gifts and happy tears.

It’s the place you said “I do.” “We do.”

So yes, budget is important. Logistics is important. Parking is important. But don’t forget all the little things that don’t quite make it to the spreadsheet ❤️

Love, a wedding industry professional xo

Dipali and Niel lived less than 5 minutes away from each other their whole lives but it took going to in Fall of 2014 for them to meet.

They both rushed for AKPsi and joined Chicago Adaa their first year in the city. The countless train rides to dance practice, long drives to competitions, and hours of prepartion for rush led them to go from awkward acquaintances to becoming the best of friends.

After 4 years at DePaul, they both went on to do their masters at Northwestern University in different programs. They felt lucky that that had the opportunity to further their careers in same city and push each other through the exams, papers, and late nights. They loved calling Chicago their home and continued to bond over their love of good food (Specifically, ).

Over the course of 9 years, they both have ate, celebrated, and laughed SO much. Their families met, friends became closer, and they got to see it all together. As soon as Niel neared completion of his MBA, he knew it was time to take the next step. Niel proposed in the city where they met and grew up together, Chicago.

Though Niel never officially asked Dipali to be his girlfriend (and their friends still laugh about this), he did officially ask Dipali to be his wife, and this time ❤️
