AELO loves a party! Are you planning a special birthday, a rockin' bachelorette, your kid's bat/bar mitzvah, or a 40th anniversary celebration? How about an evening cocktail soiree or a cosplaying murder-mystery party? Let us put together the details for you. We'll travel, too!

Honorary Street Naming in Evanston

What an incredible honor it was to plan and execute the street naming for Evanston’s first Black police chief. Though the event was pushed off for a year, working with Mr. Logan’s grown children was a pleasure and this year, it went off without a hitch! It was truly an event to remember. You can read more about it here!

Sara + Will’s Baby Shower

It’s always an honor when a client comes back to us to celebrate another milestone! Almost a year after their wedding, we got to help plan a celebration for their new little one!

Randee Dawn’s Book Launch

It was such fun being a part of debut author Randee Dawn’s book launch! She was at Chicago Worldcon 2022 to promote her book and we helped plan and decorate her book launch in a suite at the Hyatt Regency. This cake by Custom Cakes by Mark lit up and blew us away!

40th Birthday

When we were asked to plan a surprise 40th birthday party for the ER doctor husband of another doctor, we jumped at the chance! Their Victorian house in Evanston was a stunning backdrop for an excellent party with Greek food from J and L Catering and decor by us! Nick wanted balloons galore and we delivered. Conor was surprised and everyone partied into the evening on a gorgeous June day.

Twin's 3rd Birthday Party

These cuties celebrated the 3rd anniversary of their birth in style! The twins invited 25 of their closest kindergarten buddies to hang out at Davanti Restaurant, where they made their own mini pizzas. The kiddos danced to a birthday shuffle while a balloon twister made elephants, and the open bar for the parents made for a delightful afternoon!

Book Launch Party

Dr. Lauren Streicher is a respected gynecologist and surgeon, often featured on Dr. Oz, the Today Show, Windy City Live and countless other outlets as she is considered a leading expert in her field. Following the release of her smash book, Love Sex Again, the Paris Club hosted a cocktail party where medical professionals, Chicago media, and family & friends honored Lauren’s achievement.

NU Manager's Ball

We had the pleasure of putting together a 1920's themed event for the 2015 graduates of Northwestern University Kellogg School's MBA program. It was an absolutely beautiful evening held at Union Station, with gorgeous decor provided by Event Creative. They also held a Silent and Live auction, benefitting the programs' philanthropic endeavor with the Big Shoulders Fund.
