Hola or Hello !

Iโ€™m Michelle

she/her

owner and planner

ExtrAoRdinaire

I am the proud recipient of the โ€œEnergizer Bunnyโ€ award. This is a prestigious award bestowed to me when I was in 3rd grade. It was the beginning of a long career in teaching. While some might still call me the โ€œEnergizer Bunnyโ€, I have decided to move that energy into the wild world of weddings and events.

I was raised in Roselle, IL. Graduated from U of I (Chambana), moved to Bucktown with my bestie Maddie, then promptly moved back out to the โ€œburbsโ€ after the ridiculous snow storm in February 2011. Iโ€™m a proud Latina mama, a passionate teacher, and a lover of coffee. Iโ€™m an extrovert with a talent for thinking on my feet. In high school you could have classified me as really cool band nerd. My roots in event planning are borrowed from my time wrangling small children in the classroom from preschool - 2nd grade.

If you really want to know who I am, youโ€™ll have to think of the most enthusiastic hype girl possible. I am a ride or die passionate lady who is always looking for solutions and keeping mostly calm in crazy situations.

Iโ€™m doing work that means more than just planning a party for you. Iโ€™m in charge of making sure you feel happy, safe, grateful, and most importantly heard.

When it comes to the rest of getting to know me, youโ€™ll just have to buddy up to me as my client and find out more! And you definitely need to be my insta pal.
