Consulting

 Seasoned planners Kara Underwood and Kirstin Martin have created unique, monthly Wedding 101 classes, which guide brides and grooms through the first steps toward planning their weddings without the cost of a full-time planner. The classes cover budget, guest lists, timetables, vendors and venues as well as help couples find their personal style before meeting with and selecting their individual vendors.The "graduates" leave with a bridal swag bag full of over $1000 worth of discounts and incentives, a customized budget and a list of a our favorite vendors (including planners if you need more guidance!)

Each lunchtime class includes a catered lunch by Chicago caterers: Calihan, Roti, Blue Plate and Berghoff. Each evening class includes champagne and small treats. The relaxed, group setting makes wedding planning both efficient and fun for brides and grooms.

Session 1 classes run Thursdays from noon to one while Session 2 classes are also Thursdays but conveniently held from six to seven. The cost is $200 for the four weeks of class. The classes are held right here in Smitten Boutique and are currently available for booking for the month of April. Email rsvp@magnificentmilestones.com or call 312.226.7777 to register.
