My husband and I toured every single luxury hotel venue in Chicago and there was no doubt in our mind that we were going with The Langham once we met with Shaun Rajah, the Director of Social Catering. From the level of service to the quality of the food to the environment and attention to detail, we could not have asked for better.
Shaun is a pleasure to work with and we wish we could throw a wedding or event at The Langham with him every single year because we enjoyed the experience and process so much. We are forever grateful for everything he has done for us and know the best decision we made for our wedding was hosting it there with Shaun. From destination weddings to luxury wedding coordination, we are here to make your dream wedding a reality, no matter where in the world you are.

"You work hard to plan a wedding but it's hard to really know how the day will end up coming together given all of the moving parts. I honestly was so incredibly blown away by the perfection of our wedding day, all made possible by the professionalism the Langham and their coordinator (Shaun) provided. He exceeded all expectations and took any stress out of the day."

Masquerade Magic at The Langham
A Night of Elegance and Culinary Delights in Collaboration with the Catering Executive Club of Chicago, Chicago.
In collaboration with the Catering Executive Club of Chicago (CEC) , I hosted an unforgettable evening of Masquerade Magic, uniting Chicago's culinary and event planning elite for a night of elegance and entertainment. Masquerade masks were thoughtfully provided to add an air of mystery, and a live pianist serenaded the attendees with enchanting melodies. Following the cocktail hour, from 7pm to 9.30pm, guests were treated to an exquisite dinner. The ambiance was set by the captivating tunes of Beat Mix Music, creating the perfect backdrop for the culinary artistry of Chef Damion Henry.
The grand finale featured a lounge area, a cake giveaway courtesy of Pistores, and the opportunity to savor espresso martinis. The night concluded with guests mingling in the elegant setting, celebrating the success of Masquerade Magic. Masquerade Magic truly showcased the pinnacle of culinary and event planning excellence in the Windy City.

Sipping Elegance: When Creativity Meets Valentino
In the world of event planning, creativity knows no bounds. It takes passion, vision, and a touch of luxury to turn dreams into reality. And when you have the privilege of partnering with a brand like Valentino, magic is bound to happen.
Our latest event was truly a testament to the art of collaboration. A seamless fusion of fashion and flavor, our Valentino-inspired tea event was an ode to the elegance and style that Valentino exudes. As the brainchild behind this unique venture, I couldn't be more excited to share this journey with you. Every detail was meticulously thought out But the creativity didn't stop there. The confectionary, the sweet jewels of our event, were inspired by Valentino beauty and fragrance. These delectable treats were not only a feast for the taste buds but also a visual delight, mirroring the aesthetic and elegance that Valentino is known for. And the best part? Everything was edible, an edible fashion show for the senses.
