The Event Chicago

We’re passionate about creating seamless, meaningful wedding experiences that allow couples to truly enjoy every moment of their day. Through our business, we focus on thoughtful planning, clear communication, and detailed coordination to bring each couple’s vision to life. We love getting to know our clients, understanding what matters most to them, and turning those ideas into a celebration that feels personal and intentional. Seeing everything come together and watching couples be fully present with their family and friends is what makes wedding planning so rewarding to us.

What sets our team apart is that we truly take care of everything while making sure you’re actually enjoying the process. We’re big on organization, communication, and handling the behind-the-scenes details — but we also bring a fun, positive energy to every step.

Planning Dream Team!!!
Working with The Event Chicago and Lety is an absolute dream! Lety and her incredible team make every wedding and event seamless—not just for our couples, but for vendors like us too. Their attention to detail, professionalism, and calm, friendly approach take so much stress off everyone involved, making the day smooth, enjoyable, and truly memorable. We’ve had the pleasure of collaborating with them on multiple events, and they consistently go above and beyond. They don’t just plan events—they create experiences, and they make our lives so much easier on the big day. We can’t recommend them enough!

Yes, depending on the level of service. For Wedding Coordination and Partial Planning, we may take on multiple weddings in the same day or weekend, as we have a team in place to ensure each event is fully supported. For Full Service Planning clients, we block off the entire weekend to dedicate our time and attention solely to your wedding.

With over 10 years of experience, our team has planned and coordinated a wide variety of celebrations, including weddings, anniversaries, and quinceañeras. We’ve worked with diverse religious traditions and cultural backgrounds, allowing us to thoughtfully support each couple’s unique vision and customs. We are proudly LGBTQ+ friendly and committed to creating an inclusive, welcoming experience for all couples. At this point, we’ve honestly lost count of the total number of weddings we’ve completed! Between full planning, partial planning, and coordination services, our team supports approximately 50 weddings each year.

Yes, we’re a small, intimate team of 6 that works closely together to support each of our couples. For Wedding Coordination and Partial Planning clients, you’ll know exactly who your lead planner is from the very beginning and will have direct communication with them throughout the process. For Full Service Planning clients, our planning bubble is all yours. You’ll have the full support of our team, with dedicated attention and collaboration to ensure every detail is thoughtfully planned and seamlessly executed.
