We couldn’t have worked with anyone better for our wedding. Allana was recommended to us by a friend of ours and it was a perfect recommendation. We booked her as a day of coordinator, but we got so much more with Allana! She started working with us months in advance to plan the details of the wedding. She also has some supplies that you need for smaller things that she lets you borrow for the day of the wedding. She was in contact with our other vendors and made the day of our wedding much less stressful! She was so helpful with the last 6 months of planning. You will not regret working with her!

We would recommend City Chic Events to anyone planning a wedding! We worked with Nicole Albanese for about a year through our wedding process. She helped us find the remaining vendors we needed while keep into our budget. She also gave us great advice and suggestions. She was always so positive, friendly, and professional.

The week of our wedding there were some weather issues that impacted our reception. Nicole helped guide us through this and was so calm, receptive, and positive.

We would not have had such a beautiful, smooth, & perfect wedding without the help of City Chic Events and Nicole! All the compliments we are still receiving about our day we owe to them!

Allana and City Chic Events are the absolute BEST! I could write a novel about how much Allana helped with the wedding but I’ll just highlight a few things. Allana was so warm and friendly, communicative, organized, knowledgeable, and a source of calmness during a busy and stressful time. City Chic was a huge part of the success of our wedding. They did the florals, bartending, decor, and planning. There were a lot of unknowns as we were the inaugural wedding at our event space, but it went so smoothly thanks to Allana and her team. They were also helpful in helping us pivot on the day of the wedding due to poor weather. Additionally, the florals and decor were stunning and EXACTLY as I had envisioned, the bartenders were rockstars, and I can’t overstate how much Allana helped throughout the planning process with my thousands of questions. From the first point of contact with Allana and all the way throughout the day of the wedding, they were an absolute dream to work with. We will forever be grateful. Thanks Allana and team!!

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.

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!

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!

We could not have asked for a better florist for our wedding! Allana really listened to what we envisioned for our day and delivered. She was extremely accommodating for what we needed as well. We needed a chuppah for our Jewish ceremony. Allana was one of the few vendors who was willing to set up and take down the structure without overcharging. She even allowed us to drop this off to her ahead of time, and she transported it with the rest of the florals. We had an outdoor ceremony, and it ended up being quite windy, but this was not an issue at all as Allana set everything up so well. While we only used City Chic for flowers and not wedding planning, Allana's keen eye to detail and experience as a wedding planner was certainly helpful in creating such a beautiful result. Definitely would recommend hiring Allana and City Chic for your day!

Allana was such a joy to work with. She not only preformed amazing service, she helped us with budgeting and fitting us in with only a couple months notice! I highly recommend CityChic!

I can’t thank Allana and City Chic Events for everything she did to make our wedding dreams come true. From the start, Allana was a calming presence and kept me on track during the wedding planning process. She helped us find some vendors (including a magician for our cocktail hour) and was incredibly organized. City Chic Events also did all of our florals and they were stunning. On our wedding day, Allana and her team made our vision a reality and we didn’t have to worry about a thing. It was the best day of our lives and everything was perfect thanks to our incredible wedding planner. I can’t recommend City Chic Events more highly!

We used Allana and her team as our wedding florist. What an amazing job she did - working within the budget and giving us her expertise on ALL things wedding. She is such a calming presence and we just knew that she would handle ANYTHING that came up. Would highly recommend City Chic!
