About

At Event Shoppe Chicago, we believe weddings should be more than events—they should feel like once-in-a-lifetime experiences that could only belong to you. Every detail, every timeline, and every thoughtful gesture should reflect your story, your style, and the energy of the city we proudly call home. Consider us your creative partners, logistical masterminds, and biggest advocates rolled into one polished, champagne-carrying team.

Founded by Jennifer Price, Event Shoppe Chicago was built as a “love letter to Chicago” and to the couples who dream big here. From the Cultural Center’s iconic Tiffany Dome to the sweeping lakefront views of Adler Planetarium or the raw, industrial charm of the Bridgeport Art Center, our expertise lies in creating elevated, seamless celebrations that honor both your vision and this incredible city.

Our specialty? Transforming complex weddings into beautifully orchestrated experiences. With budgets often in the $200K–$500K+ range, our clients value more than flowers and pretty details—they value precision, trust, and a team that can anticipate what they need before they even think of it. We ensure your favorite aunt has a glass of champagne in hand, your timeline runs like a well-directed play, and your 300 guests feel like they’ve just attended the best party Chicago has ever seen.

Our Services

  • Full Service Planning: From budget analysis and venue scouting (we’ll narrow it to 8–10 perfect options) to custom design mood boards and vendor sourcing, this flagship package is the ultimate white-glove experience. Expect monthly meetings, unlimited emails, vendor contract reviews, hotel concierge services, RSVP tracking, transportation coordination, and more. On wedding day, you’ll have up to 14 hours of coverage with a lead planner and assistants, ensuring every detail is executed flawlessly.

  • Wedding Coordination: Ideal for couples who want to plan but need an expert to take the reins in the final months. We refine timelines, confirm vendors, lead your rehearsal, and manage the entire wedding day so you can actually be present at your celebration. (For weddings November–February, enjoy 10% off this package!)

  • Design Support & Guest Experience Enhancements: From curating unforgettable design concepts to ensuring VIPs get their flowers, favors are displayed beautifully, and hotel bags are ready for guests—we elevate both the aesthetic and the guest experience at every turn.

Just hire Jennifer!

My husband and I booked Jennifer to coordinate our August 15th wedding in February of this year. We wanted to find someone who could help wrangle our large families but also someone we wanted to spend all day with at our wedding. Jennifer definitely fit the bill, immediately she was engaging, friendly and well organized.

When lockdowns started and it was clear we may not be having the wedding we planned, Jennifer immediately reached out to us. She talked us through our options and helped us decide to move our big 200 person party to a new date in 2021. Jennifer then coordinated with all of our vendors to move to the new party date.

We decided to have a micro wedding this year on our original date. Jennifer helped us figure out what we needed and set-up our day of timeline. On our wedding day she was there for us and our families the entire day. She made sure everyone (family and vendors) got where they needed to go. She foresaw and solved any issues that came up, whether it was locating a missing bouquet or discretely passing tissues up to my husband during the ceremony.

Jennifer is everything we could have asked for and more in a coordinator. We can’t wait to work with her again for our big party next year.

Jennifer Price is Exceptional

Working with Jennifer Price was the best decision we made for our wedding. She was organized, thoughtful, and truly went above and beyond to make our day seamless and stress-free. Every detail was handled with care, and her calm and positive presence made all the difference. We couldn’t have done it without her! Highly recommend to anyone looking for a top-tier planner.

Event Shoppe - Magic!

Jennifer Price & Victoria Latimer are truly the fairy godmother team that made our wedding "the happily ever after" to our story. From the moment we began our planning journey, Jennifer understood the vision and brought it to life. She is truly magic!

Her planning process is very clear and helpful, and she communicates quickly and thoroughly so that I never felt behind. She brough such a professional and experienced perspective and I knew that her team was able to consider and plan for every possible scenario. She was well appreciated by all of our vendors and she coordinated everyone spectacularly.

Beyond just making the vision come to life, Jennifer and Victoria ensured that the vibe and the mood of the wedding party was calm and happy. When things went awry, my bridal party never knew and never felt it because Jennifer and Victoria were so on top of fixing any issues. They managed all of the various personalities spectacularly, and particularly protected my peace as a bride. They ran interference on my behalf so that I could be calm going into the ceremony.

Victoria made sure that we were able to enjoy the reception to its fullest and still exit gracefully. Not an item was missed when corralling everyone out the door, and we completely owe that to her!

I was truly sad when our wedding weekend was over because I enjoyed every second of it. It really was an event beyond anything I could've envisioned for myself, and I owe everything to Jennifer, Victoria, and the Event Shoppe Team. They are the best in Chicago! Thank you for everything.

Perfectly Executed!

We recently had the absolute pleasure of working with Victoria, our wedding planner from Event Shoppe Chicago. We can't express enough how instrumental she was in making our special day perfect. From the initial consultation to the final moments of our wedding day every detail was meticulously planned and flawlessly executed, and our timeline was handled with remarkable precision. Victoria created a comprehensive schedule that considered every aspect of our wedding. Her attention to detail ensured that everything ran smoothly from early morning preparations until the conclusion of our reception. We never had to worry about a thing because Victoria was always one step ahead, ensuring that everyone and everything was in the right place at the right time. Vendor assistance was another area where Event Shoppe Chicago truly shined, they have an extensive network of trusted vendors and where able to recommend the perfect vendors for our style and vision. Throughout the wedding process Victoria coordinated meetings and managed contracts with such professionalism and efficiency that it took a huge weight off our shoulders. Victoria managed all vendor arrivals and set up seamlessly allowing us to relax and enjoy every moment without a single hitch. All we literally had to do was show up, come to think of it, that is all we had to do the entire process, show up, relay our ideas/vision and watch it materialize right in front of us. The wedding day was nothing short of magical, Victoria was with us from beginning to end overseeing every aspect of the event, her presence was both reassuring and unobtrusive allowing us to focus on celebrating with our loved ones. Our guest was impressed by how smoothly everything flowed, how beautiful the wedding was, and more importantly the role Victoria played. After the wedding, our loved ones kept asking about the sweet girl in black, she was everywhere and always where she needed to be at the right time. So graceful! Victoria exceeded all our expectations, her dedication, creativity and professionalism ensured that our wedding was everything we dreamed of and more. If you're looking for a wedding planner who will go above and beyond and make your wedding stress free and unforgettable look no further than Victoria at Event Shoppe Chicago. We are forever grateful for her exceptional service and wholeheartedly recommend her and Event Shoppe Chicago to any couple planning their big day. Victoria was absolutely fabulous, and our wedding day will always be remembered with her by our side. You go girl and Thank You!

Victoria helped us have the stress-free wedding of our dreams

We chose Event Shoppe Chicago because Jennifer made me feel at ease. We consulted with a few planners, and unlike my other meetings, Jennifer seemed genuinely excited for us and our wedding - it wasn't just a business transaction. She also helped us craft a package to fit our needs since we were having a very small wedding.

We worked with Victoria as our day-of coordinator for our wedding at Adler Planetarium. She was attentive to detail, easily reachable, and an all-around amazing individual.

I'm type-A and normally can't resist the urge to micromanage, but Victoria had everything covered, so all I had to do was enjoy the day! Victoria attended our venue meetings, coordinated with vendors in the weeks leading up to the wedding, and made sure everything operated as planned on the day of. She sent us so many helpful planning tools and questionnaires throughout the process.

If you're looking for someone to make your wedding experience as stress-free as possible, Victoria, Jennifer, and Event Shoppe Chicago are a fantastic choice!

Hire Event Shoppe Chicago!!

I had the pleasure of working with Jennifer Price and the Event Shoppe Chicago team for my October 2023 wedding. They exceeded our expectations! As our event planner, they were attentive to all of the many details and moving parts making the wedding process seamless. Jennifer and her team leveraged cutting edge systems and tools to keep things aligned and in order. This was a game changer for us! And, her knowledge of all things related to our wedding, including the relationships she had with premier vendors was incredibly helpful. Our wedding day was perfect and largely due to the professionalism and care given by Jennifer and her team. I highly would recommend them to anyone planning a special event.

Thank you ESC!

Working with Kevlyn was a dream come true. We had partial planning with Event Shoppe Chicago and they made everything so easy - from our very first call with Jennifer (who we fell in love with) to walking out of the venue on our wedding night. I can't recommend ESC enough, I don't know how anyone would have their wedding without at least day of help from ESC. Kevlyn kept us on our timeline, fixed issues before I even knew they were happening, and kept our our vendors organized.

My wedding was the best day of my life - thank you Kevlyn and team I hope our paths cross in the future!

Jennifer the Great

Jennifer Price is a one in a million wedding planner because she has the teaching spirit. She guided my husband and I through all options by explaining how best to achieve what we wanted. From explaining why a hotel would best suite our needs to advocating for a dance floor to maximize our “wedding real estate” I always felt that each decision brought us closer to our dream vision. The epitome of kindness, knowledge and patience, Jennifer has a way of making you feel safe in that she will execute your dream wedding. Actually, Jennifer made me feel like my dream wedding was HER dream wedding too. She cared just as much as me and husband did. Our day was absolutely perfect and I know it’s 100% because of Jennifer and Event Shoppe.

Best Wedding Coordinators

My wife and I hired Event Shoppe Chicago to assist in coordinating our wedding and we were beyond impressed. Firstly they were incredibly responsive. When we needed information our wedding coordinator would email us back immediately. They assisted us with all big decisions and provided us with several options with vendors. We never felt pressured to pick a vendor they brought to our attention and genuinely felt they had our best interest every step of the way. We switched venues halfway through our wedding and Event Shoppe Chicago guided us through the entire process. Then day of there were 3 coordinators that made the entire process perfect. Many of our guest said our wedding was the best wedding they’ve ever been too. Somehow Event Shoppe was able to incorporate all of our needs perfectly and I couldn’t be more grateful. You would be crazy not to choose Event Shoppe Chicago.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
