“The amount of detail that you managed was extraordinary, and everything was perfect.”
Our full-service approach covers every layer of your celebration. We manage the logistics: timelines, vendor communication, budgets, and the hundred small decisions that make up a wedding.
We shape the design: materials, spatial layout, atmosphere, and the details that turn a venue into something unmistakably yours. And on the day itself, we orchestrate it all, so you're not managing a to-do list, you're enjoying every moment of your wedding day.
Our clients tell us the same thing again and again: the process felt calm and organized, thoughtful, but never stressful. We bring the highest level of production expertise and a deep bench of trusted partners, so every decision — big or small — supports your vision and reflects your values.
And yes, somewhere in the middle of all that precision, we'll remind you to step back, eat your cake, and take in all your beautiful moments with your family and friends.
Inspired early on by her mother, an interior designer who taught her the power of
storytelling through space, Renny began her career in culinary school where she learned to blend beauty, service, and behind-the-scenes precision. Since founding her Chicago studio in 2000, she’s become known for heartfelt genuine celebrations that feel as effortless as they are unforgettable. Renny brings an evolved, intuitive eye to every celebration she touches. Her approach is simple yet profound: She listens closely. She plans masterfully. She designs
from the heart.

We specialize in full-scale, highly personalized celebrations, the kind that call for extensive production, layered design, and elevated guest experiences. Our style is classic, sophisticated, fun, and deeply personal. We're especially known for transformations: Building a venue where one does not exists - on lakeside lawns, family estates, and open land, as well as reimagining existing spaces like ballrooms, museums, and country clubs into something that feels entirely your own.
Design
Orchestration
Planning
The process starts with Planning, the foundation for everything that follows. We get to know you, your priorities, and your vision, then build the framework: timeline, budget, vendor team.
Then we move into Design where your wedding starts to take real shape. This is where we translate your story into material selections, spatial design, and custom details. Never staged, never trendy, always timeless.
Finally, on the day itself, we step into Orchestration. Every vendor, every timeline, every transition is ours to manage, so you can be fully present in the moments you'll remember for the rest of your life.
Our Wedding Planning Process
Great weddings aren't built in a single meeting. they're built in phases, each one laying the groundwork for the next.
"Every decision felt thoughtful. Every moment felt personal. Renny is a true artist, a true professional, and a true gift."
