About Big City Bride
Founded in 2003
BIG CITY BRIDE | FAVORITE CHICAGO WEDDING PLANNER When you hire Big City Bride to plan your wedding, you aren’t working with a “solopreneur” or hobbyist. You are in the hands of an experienced event professional and an actual company of full-time planners who report to work each day. Our office is neither a shared space nor a planner’s home – it’s your wedding headquarters where we can host your vendor and family meetings, receive shipments of your wedding goods, all in a comfortable and easily accessible Lincoln Park studio. There is simply no other wedding planning company with the collective experience, event knowledge, work ethic, reliability, accountability and team support as Big City Bride. Over the past two decades, we’ve planned hundreds of Chicago weddings. Our planners are paired up with couples after careful consideration of many factors, from style and personality to experience at the venue or experience with a variety of religious and cultural traditions. With a team of tenured full-time employees, we always have a seamless contingency plan in the event of any sort of emergency with your planner. With hundreds of five-star reviews on all platforms praising our planners and our team it’s no wonder Big City Bride is Chicago’s favorite wedding planner.
