About Ohana Events

Ohana Events

AN ENTIRE EXPERIENCE OF CAREFUL PLANNING, CLIENT CARE, AND REAL LIFE DREAMS COMING TRUE

Ohana Events is an elevated event planning and design company based in both Chicago & South Florida, but often travel for their events, with distances as far as Mexico and Italy. The Ohana team strives to make the entire planning process, from first meeting to the big day a stress-free experience. Let’s face it, weddings and events are more than just one long day. Months, and sometimes years, of hard work are put into building a celebration – hopefully with lots of champagne toasts and happy tears along the way!

We have a range of planners with different personalities and different skill sets, located across the US, so we try to perfectly pair the correct planner with each client. Also, because so much time, money and effort are put into every single event, the team at Ohana Events feels it’s important to make the entire experience one that you will cherish and remember forever. There is no need to stress, no need to worry, and no need to look any further. Meet your new designer. Your new mentor. Your new friend.

In three words: Creative, Resourceful, Thoughtful

    We can't thank OE, Danielle, Jenna and Tuya enough for making our wedding day absolutely perfect! From the very beginning, they were organized, attentive, and genuinely excited about our vision. Jenna was our assigned planner and I couldn't have asked for better! She was phenomenal!! Every detail—big and small—was handled with care and precision, and her calm, confident presence made the entire planning process feel stress-free. She makes sure I am on top of everything, reminded us of what we needed to do and communicated with our vendors, taking that stress away from us. She put together a drive with everything on there, super organized and beyond helpful. On the day of she helped us all stay on time, get done what we needed to but also stay relaxed and enjoy ourselves. We did our pictures at the Planetarium, it was crazy windy and my hair was ruined. She had a curling iron delivered to the reception asap so I could get my hair done before anyone saw me. She was the absolute best!!! Her assistant Tuya was also amazing!!! On top of her game, professional, worked hard and ensured everything at the venue was perfect. Couldn't have made a better decision to work with these ladies and so grateful!!! Thank you so much!!

    From my initial meeting with Danielle, the owner of Ohana Events, I knew this was the perfect fit. Danielle’s confidence, positivity, and genuine passion for what she does made a lasting impression. I chose the day of coordination package, and Emily was assigned as our wedding coordinator. Looking back, I feel incredibly lucky because, without Emily, this wedding simply could not have happened. She is the calmest, kindest, most resourceful, and supportive person I could have ever asked for. It felt like having a built-in best friend who went above and beyond for us time and time again. Emily’s meticulous attention to planning, details, and timelines was remarkable. She maintained constant communication with our vendors and us, ensuring every loose end was tied up. When I faced a few beauty mishaps, Emily was right there with solutions, recommendations, and even personally reached out to vendors. Her established relationships within the wedding community speak volumes about her professionalism and the respect she’s earned. Everyone loves working with her. On the wedding day, Emily was by my side every step of the way, from sending a sweet text while I was getting ready to warmly greeting me at the venue and constantly checking in throughout the event. She went above and beyond to calm my nerves before the ceremony, and her presence alone was incredibly reassuring. Emily’s kindness and attentiveness extended to my family and friends as well. My mom was especially impressed by everything Emily did for us and appreciated how she even checked in on her. Emily’s care and dedication made our wedding day not only seamless but completely stress free. To anyone considering working with Ohana Events, I cannot recommend them enough, especially Emily. Her expertise, kindness, and professionalism set her apart, and I feel so grateful to have had her by my side. As years pass, I may forget some details, but I will never forget how well cared for I felt. And thank you, Danielle, for all your guidance along the way. Thank you, Emily. You’re simply amazing!

    Ohana Events and Sonya, the wedding planner, were absolutely amazing to work with. From the very beginning, Sonya was incredibly responsive, helpful, and friendly in all of our communications. Her attention to detail and ability to keep everything running smoothly on the wedding day was truly invaluable. Sonya was on top of every aspect, ensuring that everything was communicated clearly and efficiently to us and all of our vendors. The best money we spent for our wedding was hiring Ohana Events - it made the entire day so much more enjoyable and worth it, as we were able to truly be present and soak in all the special moments without having to worry about the logistics. I cannot recommend Ohana Events and Sonya highly enough!

    The BEST wedding planning team we could have asked for!! From the first meeting we had with them, my husband & I were sold on working with Ohana Events. They are so easy to work with and did a phenomenal job bringing our vision to life. Wedding planning can be such a stressful time but I never felt any stress working with them - Danielle & Sonya stayed on top of every single details, and made sure our day went off without a single issue! Sonya was our day-of coordinator as well, and we could not have asked for a better person to be there for our big day. We had a very large wedding party, and Sonya kept everyone in line and on schedule! If you are on the fence at all, book with Ohana!!! You will be so happy you did!
