"Alexis & the team at Burst Event Co. were so terrific to work with. Alexis had to do a lot of leg work because my husband and I don't live in Chicago but she made everything so easy for us. We had 4 days worth of events and Alexis planned & executed them all perfectly. If we ever have another wedding, I would absolutely work with Alexis again."

YOUR DREAM WEDDING
It's your wedding day & you feel exactly like Mira + Mike: "My wedding was not a whirlwind, a day that went by in a flash that I will only have passing memories of beyond the photos. AND THANK GOODNESS! I had the opportunity to relish the whole weekend of my wedding with the people I love most because of Burst's careful planning process."
"Alexis and Burst Event Co were the perfect choice for our wedding planning needs. The phase based planning made me feel at ease for the entirety of our engagement and knowing exactly what and when things were needed from us as a couple made everything stress free. I am so incredibly grateful for the time, energy, effort and passion that Alexis put into making this the wedding of our dreams. If I could do it all over again, I would 100% choose her every time.

YOU'RE IN THE RIGHT
PLACE IF YOU
LET'S PLAN YOUR
WEDDING TOGETHER
Our services are intentionally designed to meet you exactly where you are in the planning process. Every package targets the most common stress points couples face from vision execution, budgeting, logistics, decision-making, and timeline overwhelm, so you can choose the level of support that fits your needs, your pace, and your budget.
"Alexis was a DREAM to work with. We came in with outlandish ideas and lots of vibey plans but struggled with the details. Alexis was able to tell us what was possible and what was not possible within our budget and timeframe. We held the 3 day event at my childhood summer camp that had never hosted weddings before and Alexis managed all of that while planning 3 days worth of summer camp activities. As a queer couple, she was plugged into gender neutral language we could include during the process that made the whole experience more comfortable. She walked us through all the steps leading up to our wedding during the planning process. Wedding planning can be stressful but what we loved about Alexis was her ability to be real with us throughout the process about timelines and goals while also just being a fun human to work with. Alexis also remembered key things about us and our dynamics and families that were essential to the planning process. On our wedding day she proposed a change involving us driving into the reception on a golf cart which was 100% our vibe and the perfect way to close out the wedding weekend. That moment was one of many where it was very clear she saw us as a couple, our vibe, and our vision for the wedding. We could not recommend Alexis enough!"
