My journey into the world of event planning began with a degree in fashion design at the Illinois Institute of Art in Chicago, where I developed a keen eye for style, aesthetics, and creativity. Over time, my passion evolved into event design and coordination, where I now bring together form and function to craft memorable experiences. Becoming a certified event planner has equipped me with the skills to anticipate challenges, negotiate contracts to protect my clients, and design events that are both cost-effective and seamless.
As an event planner, I am not just a coordinator—I am a creator of meaningful moments. Whether it's a wedding, corporate gathering, or social celebration, I work tirelessly to ensure every detail is thoughtfully curated to surpass expectations. My mission is to transform visions into unforgettable experiences that reflect the unique story of each client while delivering style, precision, and lasting memories.
about elana
ne of the most rewarding aspects of my profession is meeting clients at the height of their excitement, whether it’s a couple envisioning their dream wedding, a company preparing to celebrate a milestone, or a family planning a meaningful celebration. Witnessing the spark of anticipation in their eyes as they share their vision fills me with profound joy. Listening to clients describe what a perfect event looks like to them inspires me to turn those dreams into reality.
Even with all our requests, our over extended budget which sometimes directly and indirectly affected her, and all the times we texted/called her on the weekend, she was extremely patient, straight forward, and worked with us every step of the way. Her professionalism is one thing, but her kindness is out of this world.
