Hello all! I am recently engaged and this is my first time posting to the Wedding Wire forum I am a Chicagoland native, though my fiancé and I live in Washington, DC. We are exploring the idea of planning a Chicago-area wedding but are looking for a wedding planner to help with the process since we are out of state, and I am starting a new job next year that will require a lot of my time and attention. Our wedding budget is still being ironed out, but would like to stay below $40K (~100 guests). Can anyone recommend a wedding planner with this style (pictures) that works with clients in my budget range? We are happy to cut corners with certain elements like casual food (my fiancé's vote is for BBQ), an unconventional venue, and more. Thanks in advance and congratulations all!
Kim
