    Mind-reader and Amazing Planner

    Allana is an amazing planner and mind-reader. She planned out things we never thought of and at the last minute was able to pull it all together. She is kind and thoughtful. I never thought a wedding planner would be so vital, but she proved me wrong in every way. I can not recommend her more!

    Great wedding planner and florist!

    Where do I begin? I had the pleasure to start working with Allana in January of 2023. As someone planning out of state, finishing school and overwhelmed she was my rock. She helped bring my vision to life and was more than helpful! To say she went above and beyond is an understatement! The organization and communication was top tier. I couldn’t have asked for a better planner! She also did my florals which I can’t believe how beautiful they turned out! Allana handled everything I needed of her and she did not disappoint me in any way.

    The support you didn't know you needed until you work with City Chic Events

    I am extremely grateful that I found and worked with Allana, owner of City Chic Events, on our wedding weekend. We had a very unique vision for our wedding that consisted of 2 separate days with one of them being 70s disco themed, and Allana not only understood our vision but was enthusiastic about it. We hired Allana for the month of coordination, but she made herself available to me consistently since we established we were going to work together (a total of 8 months!!). She provides her clients with a checklist, a shared Google Drive, and other resources to stay organized and handled the coordination with vendors early on. Allana was truly a lifesaver when she visited our original venue and had a difficult conversation with me about her concerns. While it was really hard in the moment, she handled my overwhelm like a pro and quickly worked to find a new venue/solution. One of her first suggestions ended up being our reception venue and it was PERFECT. Beyond all of the fantastic work she did checking in with me and coordinating with vendors, Allana and her assistants did such an amazing job on both days of our wedding events. The setups were incredible, the events went smoothly, she made sure I ate and was taken care of, and handled the various personalities of our families very well. Allana goes above and beyond for her clients, and I would not pass up on working with her in whatever capacity you need!

    excellent and surreal

    Allana and her team at City Chic were such a blessing sent for our wedding reception on Navy Pier at the Sable Hotel! Beautiful, elegant, and surreal, from gorgeous floral arrangements to last-minute details created by her team, each and all of which made our lifetime event beyond belief. If you want to experience any or all similarly unforgettable memories for your special event, contact her!

    Florist 7/23/2022

    We could not have asked for a better florist for our wedding! Allana really listened to what we envisioned for our day and delivered. She was extremely accommodating for what we needed as well. We needed a chuppah for our Jewish ceremony. Allana was one of the few vendors who was willing to set up and take down the structure without overcharging. She even allowed us to drop this off to her ahead of time, and she transported it with the rest of the florals. We had an outdoor ceremony, and it ended up being quite windy, but this was not an issue at all as Allana set everything up so well. While we only used City Chic for flowers and not wedding planning, Allana's keen eye to detail and experience as a wedding planner was certainly helpful in creating such a beautiful result. Definitely would recommend hiring Allana and City Chic for your day!

    City Chic Events - Rice Wedding Success

    My fiancé and I started working with City Chic Events in the midst of our wedding planning. From the second we started working with Allana, I felt a sense of ease and relief. Planning a wedding is one thing but working with someone who has experience navigating the entire process including the little hiccups along the way, made the months leading up to our wedding day less stressful. In the weeks prior to the big day, she worked with each of the vendors to ensure that our vision came to life. Although our wedding day through a few curveballs ours way, she was able to help keep everything on track and it all turned out amazing. We couldn’t have done it without her!

    Would Highly Recommend

    We used Allana and her team as our wedding florist. What an amazing job she did - working within the budget and giving us her expertise on ALL things wedding. She is such a calming presence and we just knew that she would handle ANYTHING that came up. Would highly recommend City Chic!

    THE best coordinator hands down!!

    I cannot say enough good things about Nicole and her team at City Chic. Nicole is incredibly punctual, organized, and detail-oriented and also an absolute ray of sunshine. She made sure all of our vendors received timely communications leading up to our day and helped me solve any last minute questions/issues, even making herself available for my random phone calls the week before the wedding. On the day of, I received so many compliments about her services from my family as well as our guests- she was on top of EVERYTHING, even handling things I hadn't even thought about. I'd always heard from people that something is bound to go wrong on your wedding day and you just have to roll with it, but I can honestly say it was the most perfect day and I didn't notice a single thing out of place. To me, that's the sign of a great coordinator, and I would highly recommend Nicole if you want a similar experience :)

    Love City Chic!!

    Allana and her team were absolutely wonderful to work with and really brough our wedding vision to life! Allana went through the extra effort to visit our venue and make sure that everything we talked about would work with the venue. Allana is organized, kind and just an all-around professional. I could not be happier with City Chic and would highly recommend anyone work with Allana and team!!

    Hiring Allana Will Be the BEST Decision You Make!

    Allana was a Godsend to us! She is invaluable when it comes to your wedding and you need to hire her! She is amazing! So detail oriented, organized, prompt, kind, caring the list goes on. She is the BEST there is! I would recommend Allana time and time again to anyone who is planning an event. Without her, our day would not be half of what it was. Allana also did our florals and they were more than I could ever imagine. They were beautiful, timeless, fresh etc.! She is great at understanding the couples vision and executing it. She's calm under pressure and always composed. I was sad when our wedding ended because I knew that would be the end of me getting to chat with her all the time. I hope you choose Allana for your event as well, you will be so thankful you did! She goes above and beyond! Brea & Jake 8/28/2021 Wedding

    Nicole was the biggest help!

    Highly recommend Nicole A. as a wedding day coordinator, although, she did so much more than help the 'day of'. She was extremely thorough, patient and organized in making sure our schedule the entire weekend was perfect. She worked and coordinated with all our vendors the day leading up to the wedding and then at the venue she helped decorate our welcome table and table scape flawless - it looked effortless and even better than we expected.
    It was the perfect amount of communication and I completely trusted her in making decisions or game time calls, knowing that we were on the same page.
    Could not have had things turn out the way they did without her!

    The BEST day of coordinator you could ask for!

    You will NOT find a better Day of Coordinator than Nicole Albanese from City Chic, I repeat, will NOT! We could not have been more pleased with Nicole. From the very beginning she was on top of everything when it came to our vendors, logistics, and all of the other million things that it takes to plan a wedding. Her positive attitude and upbeat energy made it such a joy to work with her. She was so much more than a Day of Coordinator. She took the reins and went full speed ahead with every detail in the planning. She was extremely professional and always made sure to be available whenever we needed her. She went above and beyond in so many ways. I cannot praise her enough. We are so thankful to have had the opportunity to work with her. The entire team at City Chic was amazing including Emily Bickford and Allana Amiran. There is no way our wedding would have been so perfect without them. We highly recommend City Chic and they are worth every penny and more!

    Best decision was hiring Nicole!

    There is no way we could have ever pulled off our backyard wedding without Nicole from City Chic Events! She was organized, flexible, optimistic, cool under pressure and was nothing short of amazing. We had multiple last minute changes that she handled gracefully and with a smile. She was awesome at communicating not only with us but with all of our vendors as well. You will NOT regret hiring her. Her attention to detail is amazing and her enthusiasm is contagious!

    Allana: A True COVID-Wedding Hero

    We hired Allana 4 weeks (!!!) before our wedding date after hearing from our wedding reception venue that we would not be allowed to dance or get up out of our seats due to COVID. Just one month before our wedding date, we switched to a backyard tent reception at a family member's property. Instead of laughing at this idea, Allana excitedly took on the challenge to plan a brand new wedding in a month, and our day was better than we ever envisioned. We think it was even better than our original wedding plans! We were so lucky to work with her, as she knew all of the right people to get the job done and get it done WELL. She has so many connections to different vendors (that are the highest of quality), and there is no way we would have been able to pull this off without her. Thanks so much, Allana!

    The best in the business!

    I can’t thank Allana and City Chic Events for everything she did to make our wedding dreams come true. From the start, Allana was a calming presence and kept me on track during the wedding planning process. She helped us find some vendors (including a magician for our cocktail hour) and was incredibly organized. City Chic Events also did all of our florals and they were stunning. On our wedding day, Allana and her team made our vision a reality and we didn’t have to worry about a thing. It was the best day of our lives and everything was perfect thanks to our incredible wedding planner. I can’t recommend City Chic Events more highly!

    She made everything look so easy and our wedding went off without a hitch!

    We truly had the best day of our lives, and I owe that to our wedding planner, Allana. She was eager to make all of our wedding dreams come true. She was organized and punctual and helped to make everything run so very smoothly on the big day. It was easy to work with her. She answered questions promptly, and worked professionally with all other vendors, all the while advocating for us to make sure we got exactly what we wanted! She was wonderful and I loved working with her!

    She's quite simply the best. We could not have done it without her expertise.

    Allana was professional, prompt, extremely friendly and very knowledgeable while planning our wedding. She was great at troubleshooting, talking to vendors and negotiating for us. When and if we needed something or had questions, her response time was always right away. She was with us from beginning to end and helped to make our day the best ever!

    Highly Recommend!

    Allana and her team were truly invaluable during our wedding planning process and on our wedding day. There were so many suggestions and ideas that we would've never thought of that Allana provided that were so incredibly helpful. We also had quite a large wedding party with lots of people involved, so having her there to run the show, including during the rehearsal the day before, was crucial. I was a ball of anxiety and she truly helped ease my mind and everything ran so smoothly the day before and the day of. I would highly recommend her to anyone planning a wedding!

    Hire Allana! You won't regret it!

    I absolutely loved working with Allana of City Chic Events. She was kind, fun, thoughtful and really helped me out so much with my wedding. I got to meet with her more times than I was expecting before the wedding, and it was essential to remind me of things i wouldn't have thought of, and also to quell my anxieties. She was comforting during a mini-breakdown when I was overwhelmed by life, work, wedding...

    At the wedding, she helped immensely with coordinating all of the vendors, questions, decor set up and helping me with anything I needed. She helped fix my hair when it was out of place from the windy day, helped with my veil, getting a few stains out of the hem of my dress, etc etc. She had a HUGE emergency kit (I'm talking your dad's fishing box but 10 times as big) and left it open for wedding party/other guests to grab what they might need (hair spray, repair kits, you name it).

    She was definitely worth every penny and honestly deserved more. Hire her! You won't regret it. If you're wondering if you should have a coordinator, you should. It truly is necessary the day of, since the venue contact person is there for the venue more than you, your maid of honor/best man/parents shouldn't have to be the go-to person for all the little things, and she will help you with all the nitty gritty you don't even think of but things that are important!

    An Easily Perfect Day with CityChic!

    Allana was our 30 day wedding planner and overall she did an excellent job. We had a lot of vendors for our big day and Allana made sure to keep everything in line in terms of communication and coordination; We didnt have to do much at all. During our initial meetings she quickly understood what we were looking for and provided great suggestions and feedback. It wasn't long before she became our wedding voice of reason and we wanted her to be a part of everything, down to the tasting. Our wedding day turned out perfectly and she was a big part of that. She's been a big part of our lives for the last couple months and it feels odd that we wont be speaking to her every week. She was pleasant, professional and a joy to work with. I'd definitely recommend City Chic for any wedding planning services!

    Best wedding planner ever!

    I cannot say it enough, ALLANA IS AMAZING! She was there for us from the beginning and was a tremendous help throughout the whole wedding planning process. I was looking for a wedding planner for months, and every one would want to have a phone conversation first and I didn't feel like I was vibing with them. The moment I contacted Allana, she told me that we should meet in person and I knew that I found someone that was committed! When we met her, her personality, charm and charisma pulled us in and we decided to hire her on the spot. This was the best decision we made during our planning process! She made sure that we were always on schedule, she came to all the meetings with us, she answered all of our calls and messages in a timely manner, and always put her two cents in which I really appreciated. As brides and grooms, we are overwhelmed with ideas and it's always good to have someone there that will bring you back to earth. There are so many aspects that I didn't know about that she brought to light and my wedding would not have been nearly as beautiful without her! My husband and I truly feel like our day would not have gone any better, and are sure that had Allana and her team not been there, chaos would have taken over! There were things that happened that I didn't even know about because she handled them so well! Allana and her team are absolutely amazing! She helped us put together the wedding of our dreams while taking the stress off of us! We will definitely be using her again for our events! She works tirelessly to make sure everything is taken care of with no hiccups. She is such a sweet soul and extremely down to earth.
    Ladies, if you need someone that will be there for you 100% of the way, don't look further! City Chic Events is the way to go!!

    So fabulous, attentive, detail oriented and hard working!!

    Allana did such an incredible job!! At our wedding she was so attentive, making herself very available throughout the planning process, and kept all of the details together on the rehearsal and day of!! My fiance, mom and I love details and Allana was able to keep up with us and then some, adding great advice and solid POVs throughout.

    We truly couldn't have had such a flawless day without her! She was hustling to make sure everything was in place and we were not worrying about a thing.

    I would definitely recommend! Thank you Allana!!!

    Allana is extremely helpful creating a detailed plan and orchestrating the vendors. We so appreciated every detail she monitored for our daughters wedding so that we could enjoy the wedding day.
