Designs Plus Events

You focus on the moments—we’ll focus on the details! Hello from Claire & Tyler!

Designs Plus Events is a wedding and event planning company offering a collaborative, fun, and personalized planning experience for clients in Bloomington-Normal, Illinois, and Central Illinois. We're husband & wife planners + designers specializing in weddings & events located in Phoenix, Arizona! 🌵☀️

We're passionate about our faith in Jesus Christ, strong marriages, seeking out adventures and

making memories together! We believe weddings are a reflection of both of you -- your personalities, your dream, your lives, and your loved ones coming together to celebrate you as a couple! We always tell our brides and grooms, "You focus on the moments & we'll focus on the details!"

On your wedding day, you'll be the ones laughing with your loved ones and we'll be the ones answering questions from the other vendors. You'll be soaking in the moments seconds before you walk down the aisle and we'll be the ones ensuring your flowers & other details are in the right place! You'll be smiling as you see your favorite person all dressed up and we'll be in the background celebrating as you say your vows! The heartbeat of our company is to allow you to enjoy those forever moments that only happen once! As you dream about your wedding day, if your desire is to focus on being in the moment surrounded by your loved ones, then you're in the right place! 🎉

HAPPY 2026!! I always love a New Year!! Anyone who knows me knows I love goals and celebrating the past while looking ahead to the future!!

2025 was such an incredible year for me and for Designs Plus Events and I am looking forward to all that is to come in 2026 — Elegant Wedding Expos
where I’ll get to meet my future couples and catch up with my vendor friends, planning meetings where I’ll keep planning my couples’ dream days, and wedding days where I tear up at the back of the aisle while my couples’ say “I Do” to each other, and so much more! 
While my social media feeds may not reflect it, there has been so much happening behind the scenes and I am determined to share more of it in 2026!

📸 Forever shouting out to my favorite brand photographer and one of my favorite parts of 2025 — my new logo designed by !

Bring on 2026!! 👏🏻

Hey! It’s Claire! 2025 has already been such an exciting year for Designs Plus Events and I wanted to take a moment to share what’s been happening behind the scenes…

• Location Change — After 7+ years of living in the desert of Arizona, 🌵life brought me back to the Midwest farm fields of Illinois 🌾 where I grew up and started my career in the wedding and event industry! I love being home, but a part of my heart will always be in Arizona so I’ll continue sharing images of my Arizona weddings & events and giving shoutouts to my Arizona vendor friends there! I LOVE traveling back to Arizona so if you’re getting married or hosting an event in the desert and you’d like me to plan it — let’s chat!

• Weddings & Events — Designs Plus Events is now based in Central Illinois again and I’m excited to be working with local wedding & event planning clients in Bloomington-Normal and the surrounding areas! I have years of experience at so many of the local venues and love working with new ones. I am experienced at coordinating weddings & events in the summer humidity ☀️and the winter snow. ❄️ If you’re planning your wedding or event locally — I’d love to hear from you!

• Brand Refresh — Sometimes you just need a refresh and I knew Designs Plus Events was ready for that too! The new look of Designs Plus Events matches the incredible client experience my company is known for! With the location change, it felt like the perfect time to refresh the logo, website and social media too! I’m so excited about my new brand photos (Shout out to Hannah !) and the new logo I’ve already been teasing (Thank you )!

• Clients — Your planning experience was already amazing, but it’s now even better! I have new planning tools I’m so excited about that you’ll get to experience while we plan your event together! Planning with Designs Plus Events continues to be a collaborative, fun, and personalized experience!! ✨

I’m so excited about this season of Designs Plus Events and what’s to come for my company!

Happy National Best Friends Day and Happy Anniversary to my husband! The one who has been my best friend, teammate, and dancing partner for so many years! The one who is always encouraging me and who has helped me build Designs Plus Events into what it is today! 💕

I will ALWAYS recommend to my couples to take the time for one dance in your empty venue with just the two of you so you can cherish the moment together — whether it’s before the guests arrival or as we’re lining them up for your exit, I promise it’s a magical moment!

As we plan your wedding day, one of the most important parts to me is making sure you have plenty of time for your portrait sessions throughout the day! I love collaborating with your photographer and videographer early on in our timeline creation process to ensure they will have the time they need to capture you amazing photos & footage of you two!

“Claire and Designs Plus Events helped me pull off an elopement within a short timeframe. I was impressed by all of the little details she thought of leading up to, and on, the big day. She worked with our families and the photographer to make a simple ceremony look and feel magical. My groom knows how stressed I can get when things don’t go according to plan, and he remarked on how calm I was. His advice, “Hire Claire!””

I help couples and clients plan the days they look forward to for months! Whether I’m planning a wedding for a couple or a corporate event for a business, my goal is to make it a collaborative, fun, and personalized experience!

• Collaborative — My sweet spot of planning is working with clients & couples who want to be involved in the planning process and appreciate the guidance of an expert to talk through + plan all the aspects of their upcoming event!
• Fun — Life is too short to not be enjoying it as you countdown and prepare for a big day!
• Personalized — Your day will be unique to you and I believe the planning should be too! Together, we’ll create a planning experience that fits your season of life!

If this sounds like the type of experience you’re looking for, I’d love to hear from you!
