Where do I begin? I had the pleasure to start working with Allana in January of 2023. As someone planning out of state, finishing school and overwhelmed she was my rock. She helped bring my vision to life and was more than helpful! To say she went above and beyond is an understatement! The organization and communication was top tier. I couldn’t have asked for a better planner! She also did my florals which I can’t believe how beautiful they turned out! Allana handled everything I needed of her and she did not disappoint me in any way.

I am extremely grateful that I found and worked with Allana, owner of City Chic Events, on our wedding weekend. We had a very unique vision for our wedding that consisted of 2 separate days with one of them being 70s disco themed, and Allana not only understood our vision but was enthusiastic about it. We hired Allana for the month of coordination, but she made herself available to me consistently since we established we were going to work together (a total of 8 months!!). She provides her clients with a checklist, a shared Google Drive, and other resources to stay organized and handled the coordination with vendors early on. Allana was truly a lifesaver when she visited our original venue and had a difficult conversation with me about her concerns. While it was really hard in the moment, she handled my overwhelm like a pro and quickly worked to find a new venue/solution. One of her first suggestions ended up being our reception venue and it was PERFECT. Beyond all of the fantastic work she did checking in with me and coordinating with vendors, Allana and her assistants did such an amazing job on both days of our wedding events. The setups were incredible, the events went smoothly, she made sure I ate and was taken care of, and handled the various personalities of our families very well. Allana goes above and beyond for her clients, and I would not pass up on working with her in whatever capacity you need!

Allana and her team at City Chic were such a blessing sent for our wedding reception on Navy Pier at the Sable Hotel! Beautiful, elegant, and surreal, from gorgeous floral arrangements to last-minute details created by her team, each and all of which made our lifetime event beyond belief. If you want to experience any or all similarly unforgettable memories for your special event, contact her!
