Chicago Corporate Event Planner With Strategy at the Center
Strategic corporate event planning and fractional advisory support for Chicago-based teams who need need clarity, structure, and seamless execution.
B&B Events Group is the corporate event planning arm of Birdcage and Blushers Weddings, a Chicago-based planning firm known for intentional execution and elevated guest experience.
Planning a corporate event in Chicago comes with endless possibilities and just as many moving parts.
What many teams quickly realize is that while the expectation is high-impact execution, the internal structure to support it often isn’t there. Events get layered on top of already full roles, decisions become fragmented, and timelines start to feel reactive instead of intentional.
That’s where we come in.
At B&B Events Group, we provide both full-service corporate event planning and fractional event advisory support, giving your team the clarity, organization, and oversight needed to move forward with confidence.
Whether you’re planning a client-facing experience, internal gathering, or multi-day program, our role is to bring intention to every decision and ensure nothing gets lost in the process.
A More Thoughtful Approach to Corporate Event Planning
Fractional Event Advisory for Modern Teams
Not every company needs a full-time event hire, but many need more support than their team can realistically carry.
Our fraction event advisory model is designed for exactly that space. We step in as an extension of your team to:
bring structure to the planning process
guide vendor selection and communication
align internal stakeholders and priorities
oversee timelines, logistics, and execution strategy
This allowed your team to stay focused on the bigger picture, while we ensure every detail is thoughtfully managed behind the scenes.
It’s a more flexible, strategic way to approach corporate event planning, without the overhead of building an internal events team.
