With Love was conceived in my mid teens when three of my siblings got married within two years of each other. It was then that I fell in love with the grandeur and enchantment that is the bridal industry. Those two years changed the trajectory of my life.The pages of the glossy bridal magazines, with their exquisite bridal gowns, decadent cakes, and twinkling diamond rings quickly became my roadmap. I worked my way through college in many segments of the wedding world, gowns, tuxedos, DJing, lighting, invitations, favors… Then moved to Chicago to take on the big city market. I met and worked with a photographer and florist before finally deciding it was time to take all of that first hand experience and start planning.
With Love is a product of that experience and a true passion for putting together a bride and groom’s dream day. We are a full service event planning firm, specializing in weddings. Our goal is to provide superior service to each client through personal and direct attention. We are with you through every step of your planning process, from vendor matching and contract procurement, to designing the décor and ambiance that will greet your guests on the big day. We are your wedding CEO, confidant, advisor and producer.
What I didn’t expect when I entered this field are the tremendously rewarding friendships I have developed with my brides and grooms. I believe that spending time getting to know my couples (on many different levels) allows me to operate at my best and deliver top-notch service when the big day finally arrives. By knowing my clients well, I have the ability to walk into the church or reception hall and instinctively know what you will like and dislike about the set-up and décor. Having this insight on the tastes and preferences of my couples allows me to tend to the details and make sure everything will meet your specifications before you even arrive!
I feel your wedding day, the first day of that commitment, should reflect the same love and devotion that you will share throughout your married years. The attention to detail, unique creations, and reflections of you as a couple that go into your wedding day tell your guests your own personal love story. I want to help you weave together the chapters of your love story and put that love in the details of your wedding day! There is no formula, there is no 'wedding machine.' There IS this day that is your once in a lifetime. With Love makes sure that every detail of the day is planned and executed to match YOUR DREAMS, but also to leave your guests breathless with the unique reflections of your love!
I believe being with a couple of their wedding day is not just business or something I deserve because I am good at doing weddings. I am truly honored and thrilled to be with you through one of the most magical moments in your life! Happy Planning!
