Read MoreIf you’re planning a wedding in Chicago and you have no idea how much venues, vendors, and supplies cost, then this is a great guide for you! As wedding planners in Chicago, we know how much of a mystery budget planning can be. Most vendors don’t have their prices on their websites, so you don’t know what to expect, then you have to contact them and guess what are the best prices for each vendor, and all of this can be time consuming….

Read MoreJamie and Maxwell reached out to Fierce Productions for our Coordination and Management package—Jamie had mostly booked all the vendors and just wanted expert advice to help guide the final steps and run the big day. They were looking for an “opulent minimalist” wedding. The restrained color palette was white and green. The decor was high-quality but limited to give each piece a bigger impact. Everything was elegant and luxurious, but they still featured smaller aspects that encapsulate their relationship into their wedding, which created playful but personal moments.
Read MoreSam and Zach reached out to us hoping for a nontraditional wedding filled with “rustic, warehouse, concert vibes with just good food and music and even better people.” (Our favorite kind of wedding).
Through our Coordination and Management Services, we gladly supported their wedding 3 Months Out to finalize those last few details, and support any logistical changes. The wedding was classy, rustic, minimalistic, fun, and all-around a beautiful representation of both Sam and Zach.
Read MoreA throwback wedding we are still in love with! Jeff and Priya got married in the summer of 2022 (postponed from 2020). Though they lived in New York at the time, they wanted to get married in Chicago because it was the city they both met in. (Not to mention they also got engaged in Lincoln Park.) In regards to the style of wedding they desired, they reached out to Fierce Productions because they wanted a wedding ceremony that blended Indian Hindu ceremonies, and western traditions. It was to be a relaxed, colorful, and intimate celebration with loved ones.
Read MoreWe are big supporters of celebrating your milestones in life, work, or as a business. We were beyond thrilled when we were hired to design a joint 50th corporate anniversary party, and holiday celebration. Due to it being a major milestone, they wanted to elevate the party with something unique and memorable. We came up with the idea of “glamour and glitz,” so you can bet we had tons of gold and sparkles! But since it was a Fierce event, we didn’t stop there. We had moving golden statues, indoor cold sparklers, a live jazz band, and even a flash mob to start the dance floor. It truly was a memorable night for the team, and a great way to sign off before the holidays.
Read MoreElle and Nathan had a very non-traditional wedding, and it was gorgeous! Everything was earthy, romantic, dramatic, intimate, and fun! Some of the biggest inspirations were Dungeons and Dragons, Lord of the Rings, Mad Hatter Tea Party, and the dramatic color palettes of a Medieval Painting.
Read MoreAllegra and Hanchen wanted a wedding that felt fun, cozy, romantic, and welcoming. Their main priorities were for guests to feel relaxed, for everything to feel organized, and for everyone to feel present during the important wedding moments. They had the most gorgeous ceremony outside on Loft Lucia’s terrace followed by an elongated cocktail hour, where they got to enjoy plenty of time mingling with all their friends and family. The weather was perfect and everyone loved getting to spend time outside. Guests then headed inside to enjoy dinner, speeches and lots of dancing! Check out some of their cute, colorful, intimate photos below!
Read MoreCatering for a wedding is the biggest investment, so you want to make sure it meets your standards!

As beloved wedding planners in Chicago, we help guide our clients through every process, and we always recommend our favorite vendors. That being said, here are a few questions you should ask your caterer before booking.
Read MoreWe love when we get to plan and design birthday parties! This birthday was for a 1 year old, and we didn’t hold back! The theme was Theopalooza—a Lollapalooza themed birthday event. You bet we had tons of colors, ballooons, and sequins. To make this a music festival to remember, all guests were highly encouraged to wear colorful attire, and received VIP lanyards for entry. We had a variety of children performers and puppets entertain all age groups by singing songs, dancing, being silly, and interacting with all the guests. After the performances, we had a live DJ kick off the dance floor. It was a wonderful celebration for all ages!
Read MoreChristine and Mike eloped in March of 2023, but decided to finally celebrate with loved ones by hosting a joint anniversary, and wedding reception party at Bridge410.
