About

Hi, I’m Rebecca.

Based in Uptown Chicago, my many passions have led me to build a holistic approach to weddings. From proposal and wedding planning to officiating ceremonies and counseling couples, I love on my couples thoroughly!

Over a decade’s experience in events, weddings and hospitality informs my work. Having been on both sides of the transaction as a small business owner, wedding and corporate event planner, ordained officiant, venue sales manager and bride who eloped, I am uniquely positioned to be your best advocate.

The Leslie Knope of weddings.

My binders are prolific; I eat, sleep and breathe weddings and relationships so that you can relax and enjoy your engagement.

What my couples love about what I do:

  • Invaluable for helping tie up loose ends

  • Kind, attentive, and amazingly organized

  • Problem-solver, managed vendor questions and coordination, and generally keep us sane

  • So easy to work with, heartfelt with and responds quickly

  • Above and beyond from the first day we booked her

  • Helpful and interactive tools that helped streamline the process

  • Took the time to get to know us and craft a ceremony that was personal, thoughtful and true to us

  • Immensely supportive and professional

  • MVP, the reason I was able to relax and enjoy my wedding

I can’t wait to share my super powers with you.

Warmly, Rebecca

Why did we rebrand?
