Venue Curation Concierge
Discover the spaces that match your vision, aesthetic, and priorities.
A calm, strategic starting point for finding your dream venue.
The venue you choose will impact almost every part of your wedding: how many guests you can invite, what the day feels like, which vendors you’ll need, and how your budget is allocated.
If you’re feeling overwhelmed by options or worried about making the wrong choice, the Venue Curation Concierge is a standalone service designed to help you move from “we don’t know where to start” to a short list of aligned, realistic options.
What’s Included:
Consultation to understand your guest count, budget, aesthetic, and non-negotiables
Targeted research for venues that fit your criteria (in Chicago or surrounding areas)
A curated shortlist of venues with pros/cons, general pricing information, and logistical considerations
Suggested questions to ask during tours
A follow-up call or email recap to talk through your top contenders
This service focuses solely on helping you choose the right venue; you can then decide whether to continue with planning support (not required to book the venue concierge service).
The Venue Curation Concierge is a standalone service priced at $1,200.
This service is included for all full-service planning clients. If you choose to move forward with a planning service after completing venue curation, we’ll outline how this fee can be incorporated into your proposal.

From a real couple:
-Jereme & Marissa
“Working with Alyson made our wedding planning process very simple and easy…
Beginning with the initial venue list, which was very thorough and helped us nail down our eventual wedding location, Aly fully listened to our wants and needs and helped us execute them…
Overall, Alyson was great to work with, and we'd recommend her services to any couple looking for a great planner.”
