A Chicago Wedding Planner Known for Calm. Creativity, and Seamless Execution

JPB Designs is a Chicago-based wedding planning and event design firm specializing in refined, large-scale weddings in Chicago, the surrounding Chicagoland area, and select destination locations. We plan thoughtful, design-driven celebrations for busy couples who value beauty, intention, and a steady, experienced hand guiding every detail.

Thoughtful Design.  Steady LEadership.  Unwavering Care.

At JPB Designs, we believe exceptional weddings are built on more than beautiful details. They require clarity, trust, and an experienced planner who remains calm no matter what unfolds behind the scenes.

Our approach blends creative vision with meticulous organization. Every decision is made intentionally, every timeline carefully considered, and every event tailored to the people it celebrates. We lead with honesty and integrity, creating an environment where our couples feel supported, heard, and genuinely cared for throughout the planning process.

Meet the planner behind the experience

With years of experience planning complex, multi-day weddings, I’ve learned that my greatest value isn’t just what I design — it’s how I guide couples through the process.

Clients often tell me the same thing: “You never lost your calm.”
Even in the most fast-paced moments, I remain composed, focused, and solutions-oriented. That steady presence allows couples to stay present and enjoy their wedding weekend, knowing every detail is being handled with care.

I take on a limited number of weddings each year to ensure every celebration receives my full attention. The result is a planning experience that feels both deeply personal and impeccably executed.

A seamless planning experience from start to finish

Our planning process is structured, transparent, and tailored to each couple. From the earliest design conversations through the final farewell, we manage logistics, creative direction, and vendor coordination with precision and care.

While no two weddings are alike, our couples can expect:
  * Clear communication and thoughtful guidance
  * Detailed timelines and proactive problem-solving
  * A calm presence throughout the wedding weekend
  * A celebration that reflects their story, values, and vision

"Yesterday was an absolute dream come true to say the very least. It would not have been possible without you, you are an absolute angel....and a dang rockstar at what you do! Thank you for EVERYTHING you have done for me, Josh and our families along the way. Your patience, kindness and heart of gold are pure magic!"

"Heart of gold."
