About Event s with Ambiance
Hey there, I’m Amber! I’m a Chicago Wedding Planner and Stylist, and I’m mostly known for styling and creating magazine worthy weddings for busy millennial couples. As much as I enjoy planning fabulous weddings and events around the city, the things I’m most passionate about in life are: Jesus, books, guacamole, french fries, and 2 minute dance parties! I serve busy millennial engaged couples like you who desire to host a magazine worthy wedding and simply don’t have the additional hours to devote to wedding planning AND preparing for a successful marriage. I enjoy capturing your vision for the perfect wedding day and handle the details of your special day so you can focus on what’s important- Family, Faith, Friends and your Future adventure as life partners! As a Wedding Stylist, I have been featured in Munaluchi Bride, Chicago Style Weddings, Wedding Guide Chicago, Burnett’s Boards and Borrowed and Blue. When I’m not busy working, you can catch me enjoying family time at the lakefront, attending one Chicago’s many street festivals and outdoor concerts, shopping with my mom or enjoying a Hallmark Channel movie marathon!
I Believe..... - That your wedding should be a reflection of your love story - Life is better with bourbon! - Love knows no color, gender or orientation - There is nothing better than when friends become family - Every love story is unique, and your's is no exception - Blessed is she who has believed the Lord would fulfill his promises to her!" Luke 1:45 - When in doubt, ask yourself, WWBD? ( What would Beyonce Do?)
The Wedding Collection
Don’t Let Your “I Do” Kiss Be One of the Few During Your Engagement Journey Has the love of your life just said, “I want you—for the rest of my life?” (EEK!! btw) Are you already struggling to keep the guest count at a set number? Are your parents—on both sides—already making suggestions and wanting a say in your wedding? Are you trying to figure out what vendors are actually legit and how to get the most bang for your buck? You definitely don’t want your “I do” kiss to be one of the few kisses you stole throughout your engagement, because of wedding planning demands. You also don’t want to miss a beat and have an event full of chaos, because you didn’t have the right kind of help. Do you: • Want to enjoy as much of your engagement as possible without panicking about wedding to-dos? Like, you want to have time to meet up with your fiancé to check out the latest restaurant opening or catch a play with the person you’re about to pledge your life to? • Want to hire professional wedding vendors you can count on to make magic happen on your big day? • Wish you had someone who could help you manage your budget and vendor negotiations, so you could get everything you want? • Love nothing more than the idea of having a flawless and well-organized wedding that guests want to stay all night at and then talk about FOREVER? Creating Upscale Weddings and a Fitting Ambiance for the Modern Bride I know what it’s like…because I’ve worked with countless couples who were in your exact shoes. Deep down…you want an amazing wedding, but you don’t know if you can hire someone who can really make it happen. And, you’re tempted to believe that your mom or friend should be able to swing it. But, this is your dream—a once-in-a-lifetime dream. It’s big. Let me just give it to you straight: At Events with Ambiance, I twirl my fingers and make your wedding vision a reality. I’ve been in the industry a long time, so I know how to work the process like a BOSS. I get to know you and your fiancé, I revel in your story, and then I wow you and your guests in every sense. Seriously, I overload all of your senses with an ambiance that makes you stop in your tracks and shed a tear (the happy kind). Simple as that. So, what do I have to offer besides myself, of course? Sparkle—but my packages are tailored to the gem you are.
My wedding planning services start with a flat service fee of $1,700 and then your package is tailored and priced according to your specific wedding planning needs.
Frequently Asked Questions Why should I hire a wedding planner? Let’s face it, engagements and weddings are beautiful! However, the planning process is not. Planning a wedding can be stressful, overwhelming, and time consuming. Most couples are working professionals who simply do not have the time to dedicate to planning a wedding. Your wedding is one of the most important, emotional, and expensive events in your life. You want it to be perfect, therefore time to correctly plan is a must. This is where a wedding planner comes in. Having an experienced professional handling your wedding can result in a wedding day that meets the expectations of your dreams. The bottom line is, you have nothing to lose, but everything to gain by having a planner on your side.
When should I hire a planner? While it’s never too early or too late to hire a planner, to get the best experience you want to hire one directly following your engagement.
Do you offer payment plans? Yes. Once I'm in receipt of your retainer; I will gladly set you up on a monthly payment plan.
What separates you from all the other wedding planners out there? Events with Ambiance is a full-service, full-time wedding planning and design company. This is not a hobby or side-job, it is my professional career. Frankly, I don’t know how any planner or coordinator can do this part-time, it really is a 50+ hour per week job. I only take a limited number of events per year and I am very specific about the type of bride and groom I want to work with. I am more concerned with the connection between myself and my client being a good fit than accumulating a volume of clients. Also my years of experience in the hospitality industry as a server, bartender and Event Captain has afforded me the insight on how to create a unique and memorable experience for my wedding couples.
Frequently Asked Questions ( continued)
My wedding venue comes with a coordinator. Do I really need to hire one on my own? A lot of brides find themselves confused about the role of their site coordinator vs. their Wedding Planner. Simply put, as helpful and vital as a site coordinator is, they work for the venue. I work for YOU, the bride. I have your best interest at heart at all times. As your wedding planner, I will work closely with you prior to your big day to fully understand your vision, and work along side you to make it a reality. It is also my role to manage the set up and time line of other contracted vendors such as your photographer, florist, and DJ. This is typically not a job that is assumed by a site coordinator.
Do you take more than one wedding per day? No, I do not. We work as a team. When you hire Events with Ambiance, you don’t just hire me, you hire the whole team. In order to give you the time and attention you deserve on your special day I do not book more than one wedding per day.
This sounds like everything we’ve been looking for. I’m ready to move forward, what’s next? Fabulous! The next step is for you to set up a consultation! When we meet with one another I will provide you with an overview of my company, who I am, how I work and what you can expect from me; we will discuss how I approach planning with my clients, my package options and pricing. We will then discuss your wedding, asking questions about what you are looking for and your expectations of your wedding planner. Consultations are for your benefit and are most effective when they are highly interactive – I encourage you to ask as many questions as you wish! Under no circumstances will I pressure you to book on the spot, I want to leave you with a favorable impression of my company, feeling comfortable and confident in your decision to work with me. I truly want you to choose Events with Ambiance with full faith in my ability to produce and deliver your ideal wedding day
