Design Consultation
Finding your colors and style of your wedding can be a daunting task. As a new bride, you have so many inspirational styles thrown at you. At Visions, we help streamline the process of conceptualizing your design style. Making decisions and choices is so hard as a bride and we get that. As Chicago Wedding Planners we will help you make decisions that will be cohesive with your overall design style.
Our first step in the process is to guide you through what style bride you are. Many brides think they know their bridal style but are surprised by a complimentary style they didn’t know existed.

CHICAGO WEDDING VENUE TOUR
If you are newly engaged and at the beginning of your wedding planning process, we know how frustrating it can be. Especially trying to navigate the unknowns of the venues in Chicago.
Trying to find a venue that meets all your needs and is within your budget takes as much investment of time and energy as a full-time job. And yet, it’s where all your planning starts is with selecting the venue. Sometimes, just getting assistance with this piece makes all the difference for a bride.
Visions Event Studio offers a Venue Tour Session that will help you get started. It helps with the overwhelming task of finding a wedding venue.
With this service you will save countless hours searching for venues that either aren’t in the area you are looking for, isn’t in your budget, or is not available on your wedding date.
We sit down and do a thorough brainstorming session with our venue tour questionnaire. After our meeting, we will have a full vision of your personal style and your ideal wedding. We then have our team start searching for ideal wedding venues.
We narrow down the search and set up a venue tour of your top 5 venue spaces. Visions will tour the facilities with you, reviewing food & beverage minimums along with contracts to assist you in selecting your ideal venue. We are with you every step of the one when it comes to the biggest decision in the wedding planning process.
