What a year 2024 has been! As the year comes to a close I always like to take some time to reflect on all that has happened in the past year. I think it is so important to acknowledge the many milestones we have had the opportunity to be a part of, the innovative creativity we have participated in with our fellow vendors, the gorgeous places we have the pleasure to work at, and most importantly the love stories we have seen come to life on wedding days.

As a business, I am beyond proud of what Elegante has accomplished this year. We had the opportunity to work with couples all over the world and were featured in multiple International publications for our continued hard work. We also have had the opportunity to begin consulting on an incredible property in the Hudson Valley in NY at Catamount Resort, which while was not something we were seeking out when the year began, has become a great opportunity born from a wedding in the area. We now are managing all of their events and helping to develop their events programs as they continue to build on their property nestled in the Catskill Mountains. Our weddings this year have brought us to 8 different states, 6 different countries, and of course several beautiful Chicago venues as well.

We could never achieve any of our success without the help of our vendor teams that truly are the best in the world and located worldwide. We want to thank each and every one of you for helping bring our couples visions to life, helping us dream bigger, and transforming concepts to reality.

To our 2024 couples we are so incredibly grateful that you entrusted us to be a part of your wedding planning journey. It has been such an honor and joy to be involved in the creation of so many lifelong memories. Planning weddings for us is our line of work, but it is also something we truly enjoy doing. I always tell people that I have the best “job” in the world. I get to be surrounded by the love and joy of our couples and their family and friends and create impactful environments with the most talented people to create a one of a kind atmosphere filled with celebration.

To our 2025 couples, we cannot wait to see what this year has in store, and we definitely have some incredible weddings coming up. Stay tuned!

And now a moment for all the insane beauty of this year!
