BURST Event Co
Queer-affirming wedding planner offering planning and wedding management in Chicago.
BURST Event Co is a wedding planning company in Chicago. It offers full planning, partial planning and wedding management for couples across Chicagoland.
Why they suit LGBTQ+ couples
They describe themselves as queer affirming and woman owned, and they publish a statement of values on their site. A client review notes that gender-neutral language made planning more comfortable for a queer couple. They suit couples who want a planner who says plainly where they stand and who cares about ethical vendor choices.
What they offer
- Full service planning for busy schedules, complex logistics or multi-day weekends
- Partial planning that covers design, logistics and the trickiest details
- Wedding management, where you make the decisions and they run the details and the day
- Smaller consultative packages for venue selection, design, timelines or contract review
How they work
You start with a free call to talk through your plans and see whether you are a good fit. You then receive three package options, with a walkthrough of each and a look at the client portal. After you sign and pay a deposit, onboarding begins. For wedding management, they join around four months before the date.
Where they cover
They work in Chicago and the surrounding Chicagoland area.
Frequently asked questions
How do we start?
Book the free consultation call through their site. It is a chance to talk through your wedding and see whether you work well together.
Can they help if we have already planned most of it?
Yes. Wedding management is designed for couples who have made their own decisions and bookings and want help with the details and the day itself.
