Based out of Chicago, IL, truejoyweddings is an esteemed wedding planning service run by a husband and wife duo, Alicia & Deric. They understand that every wedding is unique, so they strive to provide a bespoke experience to bring couples' visions to life. Whether you need someone to take care of everything or just lend a guiding hand, these wedding planners are an excellent choice.

Originally from Canada, Alicia moved to Chicago in 2020 after meeting and marrying the love of her life and now business partner, Deric. Alicia has a background in chemistry, which sets her apart from other wedding planning services. Working in a lab with explosive materials has given Alicia impressive attention to detail. With Alicia by your side, you can rest assured that every aspect of your celebration will run seamlessly.

Alicia's husband, Deric, jumped on board in 2021 after seeing the passion for weddings exuding in his wife when she would plan and even just talk about her couples. Adding not just an extra set of hands and eyes over the day of the wedding, Deric plays a vital role in ensuring all parties involved are heard, seen, and taken care of. From calming the groom down with a pep talk right before the ceremony to finding grandma a wheelchair at the venue, Deric adds an extra bit of insurance to the exceptional service truejoyweddings provides.

truejoyweddings would love to host a consultation to discuss your dreams for your special day. You can choose from four primary services: month-of coordination, partial planning, full planning, and consulting. Alicia & Deric will listen to your desires and create a personalized package just for you to ensure you receive everything you need. They will strive to design an occasion that celebrates and represents your love story authentically, bringing a little piece of Heaven on Earth through your wedding celebration!
