Wedicity

Wedding & Event Planner

I was born and raised in Northwest Indiana but always knew I belonged in Chicago. I began my journey in the dental field but quickly realized I was destined for events! I have a love for all of the beautiful details while ensuring everyone enjoys themselves, and thus spawned my love and passion for the world of weddings and events. 

I have an uncanny eye for small elements that make a big impact and love orchestrating the details on wedding day. I am passionate about ensuring every couple has their dream experience and seeing big smiles throughout the wedding weekend makes my heart soooo full. 

 When I'm not bustling around on wedding day, you can catch my friends and I exploring the city or planning my own wedding, as I myself am a bride to be!  Proud to call Lakeshore East my home where my heart belongs to my fiancé John, and our three cats Eevee, Ash, and Keanu! 

Wedding & Event Planner

From Glen Ellyn, Illinois, I graduated from Roosevelt University with a Bachelor of science in Hospitality & Tourism Management. My diversified background in planning social and corporate events throughout the hospitality industry allows me to specialize in the service details through wedding day management with Wedicity.

My passion for weddings and events stems from my upbringing and love for the moments that brought people together.  I am the second oldest of 4 sisters and coming from a large Puerto Rican and Italian family there was always an event to be planned! 

I have a personal love for the arts - dance specifically, and exploring new places and cultures through their food and music. Find me walking my Great Dane, Isabella, or on the beach watching the summer sunsets in Michigan.  

Executive Events Assistant & Content Creator

Growing up in a small town that was voted “Most Boring Place in Illinois”, I had to get creative with planning from the start. From throwing birthday parties for my dog to organizing roadtrips & vacations with friends, I’ve been planning my whole life. 

After graduating from Marquette University, I knew I wanted to be in the wedding and event industry. Working in a bridal shop and floral & decor studio helped me realize that planning was my passion. I live for organized chaos and thrive in a fast-paced environment. I fall more in love with weddings each day! There’s something so special about getting your favorite people together to celebrate your love. My favorite part about weddings, however, is the FOOD. A fun late-night snack is the best way to end the big day. 

When I’m not at a wedding or event, you can find me walking on the 606 trail, trying a new restaurant, or curled up with my kitty, Tortilla. 

Wedding & Event Coordinator

As a Chicago native, I knew that the city will always have my heart. After undergrad, I decided to take a leap of faith and deviate from the career I had once chosen - and boy am I glad that I did! My experience in social, corporate and special event coordination, has allowed me to be a part of so many unforgettable experiences.

For as long as I can remember, I have been involved with events. Every chance I got, I would volunteer to help at any event, in any capacity. The desire to plan and organize was innate in me and the passion was cultivated from a young age.

I have only a few simple pleasures in life, that make every day worth it. Those include curling up with a good book, and eating the most delicious meal. When I have some down time, you can find me reading in a cafe, on a long walk-in nature, or out to eat with my friends.
