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!

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.

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.

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.

Chicago Wedding Planner & Detailer
#WeddingDetailer
I have been fortunate enough to work within most segments of the event planning and hospitality industries. This allows me to give my clients a true white glove experience and flawless service. In 2004 I became a certified wedding planner where I furthered my passion for the wedding industry. With over 12 years of experience I have the knowledge of an array of religious traditions and how to perfectly mix them in for a unique ceremony and the right design elements into a reception that will represent your love story.
When I'm not bustling around the city producing weddings, you can find me taking a run along the lakeshore path with my mutt-pup Lady. I'm lucky to call the Hyde Park neighborhood of Chicago my home and have truly fallen in love with this great city! A lover of good food and beverage, you can find me dining out all over the city, mostly in the West Loop area near the Wedicity office over a nice glass of wine or cold craft brew in the summer.
I've become a bit of a "coffee-snob" ... because nothing beats a perfect cup-of-joe in the morning! A bigger love for chocolate keeps me always saving room for dessert.... my favorite combo is chocolate, caramel and a scoop of ice cream!
I'm an avid book reader and what little time I spend watching TV it's usually catching something on HGTV... because, obviously! Who doesn't love a good Fixer Upper re-run?
So if you want to chat over a warm cup of coffee or discuss details over a perfect glass of bubbly... I'm your gal!
