Plum & Ivy Events

Plum & Ivy Events organizes elaborate weddings, business events, and social gatherings. We approach an event as if it were a mosaic, piecing together many parts with a common theme to complete the whole. We are OCD to the extreme and thrive on well-organized timetables, trustworthy vendor connections, precise food and beverage pairings, creative event design, décor, and etiquette. Inspiration, defining the tone of an event, engaging the client's personality and perspective, and executing events that create a degree of excitement and energy while leaving a lasting impression on visitors are all part of a typical Plum & Ivy Event. Maria went to culinary school after attempting the usual college route and completed my culinary and entrepreneurial degrees at Johnson & Wales University. After working as a chef and restaurant manager in Massachusetts, she returned to Chicago and joined an incredible Chicago catering firm, where she rose through the ranks to become their senior event planner for both corporate and wedding events. She was motivated to create Plum & Ivy after years of event planning with a catering company, and bring that creative and thorough culinary attitude to the entire event.
