We're Elevate

What started as a side hustle for two creative, driven sisters has now become one of the Midwest’s premier event planning and design firms. At Elevate, we find pure, unbridled joy in celebrating all aspects of life - big moments, small gatherings and anything in between.

A Sentimental Autumn Union

When Tanya & Chad came to us in June of this year asking for our help planning a wedding (in less than six months!) we jumped at the chance after hearing their inspiring story. Both of them are entrepreneurs with incredibly busy schedules (Tanya owns our favorite RED Sushi!), and with her family finally able to visit from Belarus after being stuck there with the War in Ukraine raging, we knew we wanted to step in to help. Fast forward just a few short months of plans, and we were able to pull off a gorgeous fall celebration at the beautiful Madison Club, complete with delicious food, an amazing live band, and not a dry eye in the house as Tanya and Chad and their adorable son, Denver, tied the knot in front of their closest family and friends after many years together. It was intimate and moody, and truly a fairytale come to life. Read on and you’ll see for yourself! Best wishes, Tanya & Chad!
