About

I believe that details are just details until they have meaning – and when they have meaning they last forever. I will help you plan a wedding that is all about you and the things you love, because that's what I believe is important. Don't want to do the bouquet toss? Perfect. Really want to have a giant banana split instead of a wedding cake? Awesome.

My clients love a good dive bar and a top knot. They are equals in their relationship, probably have a fur child, and believe that quality always beats quantity. They’re not afraid of getting weird on the dance floor or breaking tradition. They know the type of wedding they want to plan but trust me to do what I do best and help them make it happen.

We absolutely loved working with IAH events and are so glad we made the investment in a month of coordinator! My husband and I enjoyed the planning process but as it got closer to our wedding we were very happy to hand off the coordination to Kristi and her partner. Our wedding weekend went extremely smooth and I attribute this to Kristi’s calm demeanor, careful planning and attention to detail. We can’t thank IAH enough!

My fiancé got me the gift of a wedding planner for my birthday and it was seriously THE best gift ever! After doing some research on planners in Chicago and interviewing a handful, we went with It’s All Happening Events. We chose the Event Coordination package for day of/week of planning and worked with Kristi Cox — we had such a fantastic experience. The weeks and days leading up to a wedding day can be hectic and stressful, and it was such a relief to have Kristi’s help along the way. She is super detail-oriented and kept us on track, took over communication with the vendors, and planned the timing and coordination for not only our wedding day, but the entire wedding weekend. There are so many decisions to make along the way when wedding planning, and Kristi was a great resource to answer questions or give advice and recommendations. She is super responsive, proactive, and just knows what she’s doing. We had the best wedding day/weekend and because we worked with It’s All Happening Events, we didn’t have to worry about anything other than enjoying the day and celebrating with our family and friends. I have no clue how we could have done it all without Kristi and her team!

I tell everyone I know to get a day-of wedding coordinator as Kristi and Katie were essential for making this type-A bride actually take a step back to enjoy the wedding. They took over control a month out forcing me to delegate and get to actually take in everything as it came. And, as I told them after the wedding, if anything went wrong - I was blissfully unaware of it! I'm so thankful we had them there to make sure everything was perfect.
