As I celebrate the two year anniversary of Sonia Bartzis Events, I find myself feeling incredibly grateful.

Building this business has challenged me, and taught me more than I could ever have imagined, and I’ve come to appreciate the beauty in that. Every experience has given me something to carry forward, and I truly believe each challenge has prepared me to be a better Planner for the couples and families I serve.

I came into this journey with years of experience, but I’ve learned that experience is only part of it. I’ve also learned that growth isn’t only measured by numbers. Continuing to learn, listen, adapt, and always wanting to be better are just as important. All of it has made me more thoughtful about the Planner I want to be and to learn that good things take time.

I’m incredibly grateful for the people who have supported me along the way, spoken my name in rooms I wasn’t in, taught me and encouraged me. For all the couples and families that have trusted me.

For my beautiful family, my children who see all the behind the scenes and say “you can do it mom!” Especially my husband, Pano, who continues to believe in me and love me just as I am.

Most importantly, I’m grateful for God’s love, his guidance, and his perfect timing throughout this journey. I trust that he continues to place me exactly where I need to be.

A beautiful ceremony, their favorite people and Bruno with the best seat in the house!

Kate and Kevin's ceremony had it all: big smiles, lots of love, a beautiful
"I do," and one very happy pup who wasn't about to miss any of it!

Ceremonies are filled with so many meaningful moments and there is something extra special about making those moments feel just like you!

The groom helping his dad with his boutonniere.

A mom placing the finishing touch on her daughter's look.

Those heartfelt embraces between parents and the newest members of their family.

Small moments that may only last a few minutes, but become part of the memories you carry from the day.

There is something so special about watching two families come together, not only to celebrate a marriage, but to welcome each other with so much love.

Kate and Kevin's day was filled with so many of these moments, and I can't wait to share more.

You found a wedding planner that speaks Spanish and all of the sudden everything feels a little bit easier. You are no longer having to translate every conversation, you don’t have to worry about explaining every detail. Your traditions, your ideas and your conversations with your family can flow. One of the greatest advantages of having a bilingual wedding planner isn’t simply speaking two languages. It’s making sure everyone feels included. Your family can feel informed, comfortable and part of every moment.

One of the most meaningful compliments I’ve ever received came during a consultation.

A couple shared that before meeting me, they had spoken with several planners. Then they said something I’ll never forget.

“We want to book you because we feel comfortable asking questions”.

They shared that they never felt like our conversation was transactional, they felt heard, they felt I was approachable. Most importantly, they felt like someone was genuinely excited for them. That meant more to me than they probably realized.

Wedding planning isn’t just about timelines, budgets, and logistics. It’s about helping couples navigate one of the most meaningful seasons of their lives. I never want a couple to hesitate because they’re worried a question is too small or that they should already know the answer.

At the end of the day, I don’t just want to help you plan your wedding, I want to be someone you trust throughout the journey. If that’s the kind of planning experience you’re looking for, I’d love to connect.

Last night I attended the Chicago Style Weddings Magazine Release Party at the Chicago Symphony where I had the pleasure to enjoy a beautiful evening celebrating the release of the newest issue alongside so many talented wedding professionals.

It was a special night, made even more meaningful by seeing my first article published. One of the things I value most about this work is helping couples feel informed, supported, and confident throughout the planning process.

Being asked to share my insight in a publication like Chicago Style Weddings was both an honor and a milestone, I’ll always remember. Thank you to Chicago Style Weddings for including me in this beautiful issue.

I’m grateful for every opportunity to continue learning, growing, and sharing my experience in ways that help couples enjoy the planning process with greater confidence and peace of mind. Here’s to what’s ahead!! 🤍

One of my favorite parts of this work is getting to know the talented professionals behind each celebration. Yesterday was a wonderful reminder that creating an exceptional guest experience begins long before the wedding day. From the hospitality to meaningful conversations, every interaction helps build the relationships that allow me to confidently recommend trusted vendor partners to my couples. A heartfelt thank you to Tasty Catering for the warm welcome, the beautiful tour, and the delicious tasting. A special thank you to Chicago Wedding Florist 💐 for the beautiful floral arrangement that truly brightened the day.

Beautiful ceremony decor will always catch your eye, but it’s often the smallest details that carry the greatest meaning. A reserved seat isn’t just a chair. It’s a place held for someone who helped shape your story, supported your journey and will be there to witness one of the most meaningful moments of your life. Those are the details I’ll never stop appreciating.

One Planner can accomplish a lot, a great team can accomplish even more. Behind every single wedding is a group of professionals quietly working together, preparing the details and making sure every moment unfolds as it should.

Yesterday, we had the privilege of celebrating Kate and Kevin, and what a beautiful day it was. A heartfelt thank you to Madison and Nelly for representing Sonia Bartzis Events with such professionalism, kindness, and dedication. I’m incredibly grateful to have you both by my side. Weddings are never the work of one person. They come together through collaboration, communication, and a group of talented professionals all working towards the same goal, creating a beautiful experience for the couple and their families. To the vendor team, thank you for everything you did to make Kate and Kevin’s day so special. It was a pleasure working alongside all of you. Most importantly, thank you, Kate and Kevin for placing your trust in us. It was an honor to be a part of your wedding and to celebrate alongside you, your families and your friends. I can’t wait to share more from this beautiful wedding celebration.
