About
On WeddingWire since 2019
We make wedding planning as much fun as your wedding day!
Our approach to planning is straightforward. No BS, but lots of fun.
HBIC Weddings is a wedding planning company that supports couples with planning services in Chicago. and the Chicagoland area.
If you're looking for stress-free wedding planning and then to have your day managed by professional planners that know how to get sh*t done, you need HBIC Weddings. Engaged couples are beyond happy that they choose HBIC Weddings, not only on their wedding day but in the planning process too.
Do you know who really loves working with HBIC Weddings? Really busy professionals. In fact, they love us A LOT!
If we had to guess, your already full life looks like something like this:
- A career you love that requires AT LEAST 70+ hours a week
- A few set-in-stone early morning (or late at night!) workout sessions
- A furry friend (or fiancé?) that requires some TLC
- And now you’re expected to add wedding planning into the mix?!
If that at all describes you, then you’re going to love our expertise and streamlined process.
We know you don’t have time to take on a second job as a wedding planner extraordinaire.
You will be navigated through the wedding planning process, receive useful answers to your questions, and benefit from our over 25 years of Chicago area event planning experience, plus you'll soon see that HBIC Wedding is fun to work with!
Our method is a bit different as we do not have a preset "here is a list of services" in a package we have, it's more like easily sculptable service tiers, so you'll have only the service you need and drop the ones you don't.
Engaged couples find that hiring HBIC Weddings puts them in a process that is streamlined, personal, and centered around their highest priorities. You'll have what you think you need plus everything you don't even know you need.
You'll plan at your own pace but be kept on track and avoid feeling overwhelmed thanks to monthly bite-site checklists you'll get, and everything that is wedding-related will be kept organized on 1 cloud-based platform.
The 100% cloud-based planning software makes the planning process smooth and very mobile. It's all-inclusive of what you'll need for a well-planned wedding.
And on the day of your wedding, not only will you have a great day, your guests to be able to enjoy every second of it too! No worries, if anything pops up from wild groomsmen to you name it- we'll swoop in and address the situation before it goes sideways on you. With HBIC Weddings as your point-person, you're covered!

Rebecca S. Married on 10/08/2022Hire Diane and HBIC Weddings immediately
It's clear that Diane has been planning events for a long time: she knows what to do and when and how to do it, and she does it with a refreshing directness. My husband and I had a vision, a budget, and a venue when we signed on with Diane, and she took us from that foundation to a gorgeous, immaculately executed event that had guests raving. Diane's great industry relationships meant that she recommended vendors with proven track records who wouldn't let us down. On our wedding day, HBIC weddings orchestrated an event that went off without a hitch. From Diane's personalized, printed schedules for the wedding party and immediate family, to the online planning portal, to the perfectly timed transportation, we felt so lucky to be in HBIC Weddings' capable hands. Diane never tried to push us into anything we didn't want and she was there to support us every step of the way, including a great pep talk when we had many guests declining and cancelling due to illness, etc. If you want a professional wedding planner who can guide you through contractual jargon and share a funny, relevant anecdote in the same breath, hire HBIC Weddings. I wish we had another event to plan so we could start up our regular calls with Diane again! -

Jaison T. Married on 12/17/2022Chicago Wedding Planning at it's Best!
I worked with Diane to plan our wedding and couldn't be happier with the result. She and her team were professional, creative, attentive, and friendly throughout the process. She listened to our vision and made it come true with her expertise and connections! She handled the bulk of things from the very starting stages of wedding planning all the way to the very end of the wedding night. She was extremely helpful with finding the perfect venue, catering, flowers, coordinating the wedding day proceedings with numerous vendors, and ensuring everything went smoothly! I honestly did not have to worry about anything on the wedding day as I was pretty confident that Diane would be on top of it. I highly recommend Diane to anyone looking for a stress-free and memorable wedding. Thank you so much for making my dream wedding a reality Diane! =) -

Rebecca D. Married on 11/05/2022Fun & Focused!
HBIC is amazing! We could not imagine having a better partner to plan our wedding. HBIC quickly understood what was most important to us, then helped us stay focused, find (and coordinate) excellent vendors, and have fun along the way! The wedding day was a breeze knowing HBIC had everything under control! We were able to focus on each other and our friends and family. Thank you!

I’ve been designing, planning, and producing events. I’ve worked for over 10 years for the top event and floral design companies in Chicago, so my knowledge is “in-depth,” to say very the least. I know events from the loading docks to adjusting the lighting in ballrooms, and everything in between – events are part of my DNA.
On a wedding day, I know how much time things should take and keep the pace of the day on schedule. Understanding how to work with hotel and venue managers to make their day better will undoubtedly make your wedding day fantastic. It's amazing how a kind word, positive vibe, and clear expectations can keep your wedding day plans on track.
We've earned awards and accolades including BizBash Event of the Year and Couples Choice Award winner with 5-Star ratings on The Knot and Wedding Wire.
Kathleen is the queen of a bouncy walk & a positive attitude. She's detailed oriented, loves to be there for the couple throughout the wedding day making sure their day is going as planned.
