About BW Studio + Events

BW Studio+Events

Owner + Lead Planner

BW Studio+Events is a Chicago-based event coordination and planning group serving Chicagoland and surrounding suburbs. The Studio focuses on intimate weddings with unique flair and lots of personal touches. Blair founded BW Studio after hosting a number of non-profit events and finding herself completely immersed in the process. Once she realized her knack for event organization and planning, the studio was quickly born.

BW Studio wants your wedding to be as unique as you two are! We always strive to tell a complete story of the couple with every event we plan. We also aim to be as digital of a company as possibly allowed by the creative nature of this industry. Tools will be made available to you 24/7 through our online platform, and we will try to keep paper use to a minimum. We consider it part of our mission to reduce waste whenever possible. Let’s chat about ways to ‘green up’ your wedding… with or without eucalyptus.

In three words: Calm, Confident, Resourceful

    We are BEYOND thrilled with our experience working with BW Studio & Events! From start to finish, Blair and Neva were nothing short of extraordinary. Their warm, welcoming personalities instantly put us at ease and created such a positive energy throughout the entire planning process. The communication was seamless — clear, timely, organized, and incredibly efficient. We always felt informed and supported, and no detail ever slipped through the cracks. The way Blair and her team orchestrate vendors is truly unmatched. Every single vendor we worked with mentioned how wonderful and effortless it is collaborating with BW Studio & Events. It speaks volumes about their professionalism and reputation in the industry. Their attention to detail is impeccable. Truly no task or ask was ever too big or too small. They handled everything with grace, care, and a level of dedication that made us feel so supported. Most importantly, they brought a sense of comfort, calm, and peace during what can often be a stressful season. Thanks to them, we were able to fully enjoy every moment of our wedding experience. We cannot recommend BW Studio & Events enough. If you’re considering them — do it. You will be in the best hands!

    We used BW Studio Events as our day of coordinator and for the last couple of months of planning leading up to the wedding. Blair was amazing to work with. She was responsive and answered all my questions, making the planning process smooth and stress-free. Blair brought up important checklist items for the wedding that I didn't know about, and helped us set a timeline to get everything completed. On the day of the wedding, she communicated with all the vendors so that everything ran seamlessly, and our special day was stress free! I highly recommend using them.

    I can’t say enough amazing things about my experience with bw studios especially Neva! From start to finish, she was absolutely incredible. Neva is so detail-oriented and organized — every question I ever had was answered quickly, and she was always there to help me with anything I needed, even reaching out to vendors on my behalf when necessary. On the day of the wedding, she exceeded every expectation. Everything ran so smoothly and perfectly that I didn’t have to worry about a single thing — Neva handled it all flawlessly. She truly went above and beyond to make sure our day was perfect, and thanks to her, it was! I would highly recommend this amazing team to anyone planning a wedding. These women are professionals who know exactly what they’re doing, and if you want a stress-free, fabulous wedding day, this is the company to choose!

    Blair was our wedding planner over Labor Day Weekend at Revel Motor Row in Chicago. She made me feel comfortable from the very beginning, which made the whole process feel manageable and even fun! She is extremely organized, providing a comprehensive planning website and gentle reminders to keep us on track. She is also quick to respond to all questions from me as well as my parents and all vendors in a kind and professional manner. On the day of the wedding, Blair and her team were everywhere at once, making sure every detail ran smoothly so that we could be fully present and enjoy ourselves! We are so grateful for her thoughtful guidance and approach. Would highly recommend BW Studio to help plan any memorable event!
