Big City Bride

We are an established and professional wedding planning firm operating with the warmth and care of a family business. We’re based out of our charming Lincoln Park office, where we work one-on-one with you to create a wedding you’ll adore.

This is not our side-hustle. This is our full-time job and our labor of love. We keep office hours that will accommodate most any schedule. We do not limit the time or communication with our clients. We welcome an open-line of communication so we can help when you need us most.

Of all our accolades, we are most proud of the hundreds of happy couples and their families who say that hiring Big City Bride was the best wedding decision they made. We hope you’ll say the same.

Coordination inquiries accommodated six months or less prior to the wedding date.

love notes

"I will never have enough words to describe the incredible experience I had working with Arin Busch at Big City Bride! I can promise you that each and every glaringly positive review of Arin and the entire BCB team is 100% true."

Libby & Grady

"Best decision that I made was to choose Big City Events and Jena to be our guide to the best party ever. Impeccable taste, an eye on the budget and an absolute delight to work with. Couldn't be happier!"

Janine & Edward

I am not a Chicago native, so the idea of navigating Chicago’s robust selection of vendors, locations, and styles was overwhelming. I was soon put at ease as it was evident this team has impressive relationships with vendors and truly knows the best of the best. Relationships and industry knowledge: CHECK. But the final piece of the entire experience that must be noted is the person Claire (and many others at BCB) is. ENERGY, POSITIVITY, LISTENING... I could go on.
