I am totally type A. I can organize anything and bring order to the chaos. Staying positive and productive is my approach to project management. With more than a dozen years of experience in business events I have mastered the art of design and people management. I have broad shoulders and a bright smile so you can lean on me with confidence and ease.
Nothing makes me happier than color coded to-do lists or a good spreadsheet. My love affair with weddings began in college where I served as the campus wedding ceremony coordinator. That is where I masted the marriage ritual which I deem to be the most important aspect of a wedding. I am a self-proclaimed softy...there isn't a wedding day that goes by where I don't shed some happy tears.
With nearly 20-years as a Senior Big City Bride Planner, I have had the pleasure of working with most Chicago venues, hotels and vendors. Clients and vendors will tell you that I'm fun-loving, yet calm and meticulous. Busy professionals love my planning style. My goal is to minimize wedding stress and maximize your time to deliver your ultimate dream wedding.

Wow! Really great team to work with. Covered everything. Communication was concise, professional, and absolutely pleasant. There are vendors in the wedding industry who are unpleasant to work with. Windy City Bride's team is great to be around and do an awesome job. Pick people you like and trust to do the important work at your wedding. Windy City Bride is it!
