About Us
Anticipation Events is a boutique event planning firm specializing in weddings, social occasions, and not-for-profit meetings and fundraisers.

Prior to founding Anticipation Events in 2009, Elizabeth Tulipana worked as an event planner for four years at one of Chicago’s most beloved cultural institutions. In early 2009 she left her job to travel in South America for six months; after scaling the Andes, traversing the jungle, and swimming with sea turtles, she came back to Chicago with the guts to go at it on her own.

From sparkling black-tie galas to intimate wedding ceremonies, Elizabeth has the experience to make your event a success. Having coordinated lunch-time board meetings for 20 and evening cocktail parties for 1000, Elizabeth has the flexibility and the creativity to translate your vision into a flawless event. Her goal for your event is that while she plans, organizes, and manages every last detail, you simply anticipate and enjoy the day.

Elizabeth graduated from Miami University (Ohio) with a bachelor’s degree in communications, and has another degree in fashion marketing at the Illinois Institute of Art.  She lives in Chicago’s Bucktown neighborhood with her fiancee and their fluffy dog, Walter.

I can't rave about Elizabeth and her services enough! She was my day-of coordinator for my wedding in Sep'10 and she made sure that the day ran as smoothly as possible so that myself and my husband, as well as our friends and family, could just enjoy the day. I am very type A and was honestly a bit skeptical about needing day-of coordinator, but ended up deciding in the last chaotic month of planning that it was a good idea. I met with Elizabeth 2 weeks before my wedding and after chatting with her for an hour or so about the details of the day, I was 100% on board with hiring her. She raised questions about certain details/timelines that I never would have noticed and from that moment on, did everything she could to make things easier for my husband and I. The day of the wedding, she was like a wedding fairy! She was so thoughtful and took care of so many little things (eg: made sure the ballets flats I had bought for my bridesmaids were placed under their chairs at dinner so they could change in to them whenever they wanted), while also running interference on any issues that did come up (eg: the tux store had given my huband pants that were a few sizes too big for him and he didn't notice until he put them on the day of the wedding, so he called her and she hurried over to the store and got him a pair that fit just in time for the ceremony). She was 100% focused on not only my husband and I having a good time, but our wedding party and family as well and made sure that we weren't bothered with a thing all day. She's such a down to earth person and is so great to work with. Not to mention the fact that her services cost about half of what some of the bigger planning companies out there charge. Elizabeth was worth every penny and hiring her was one of the smartest decisions we made while planning!
 


Elizabeth of Anticipation Events is a phenomenal asset your wedding day. I thoroughly enjoyed working alongside her. As a photographer I love meeting like-minded wedding professionals who are passionate about what they do and put their clients first. Anticipation Events will seamlessly coordinate everything from big to small. I highly recommend their services and look forward to working with again.
