Planning with purpose

You Bring the Vision. We Build the Blueprint.

Planning a wedding means making hundreds of decisions, often while balancing different opinions, competing priorities, and a budget that needs to stretch. You don't have to figure everything out through trial and error.

The Wedding Planning Blueprint is a focused strategy experience designed to help you assess where you are, identify what matters most, and create a practical roadmap for moving forward.

You remain in control of your wedding. We help you develop the strategy to bring it together.

A clearer path forward

Is the Wedding Planning Blueprint Right for You?

Whether you're starting with a blank page or trying to make sense of plans already in motion, the goal is the same: a clearer path to the celebration you envision.

  • Have a wedding vision but aren't sure where to begin.
  • Have already started planning but feel overwhelmed or disorganized.
  • Want to make smarter decisions about their budget and priorities.
  • Need help identifying gaps, dependencies, or overlooked details.
  • Want experienced guidance without hiring a full-service wedding planner.
  • Prefer a customized strategy rather than a generic wedding checklist.

Guidance that respects your vision

Strategy, Not a Takeover

The Wedding Planning Blueprint is a strategic planning and education service. It does not include full-service wedding planning, vendor management, vendor booking, day-of coordination, or execution of wedding arrangements on your behalf.

You'll leave with greater clarity about what needs to happen and how to approach it, while remaining responsible for implementing your plan.

A Little Something Extra for Your Happily Ever After

Your Complimentary Honeymoon Travel Certificate

Planning your wedding is about more than preparing for one special day. It’s about celebrating the beginning of your next chapter together.

That’s why every paid Chicago Love Connection Wedding Planning Blueprint purchase includes a complimentary promotional honeymoon travel certificate.

Whether you’re dreaming of a cruise, a Caribbean escape, a weekend getaway, or something closer to home, we’ll help you explore the promotional certificate options available.

The best part? No timeshare presentation is required.

  1. Step 1

    Purchase Your Wedding Planning Blueprint

    Book and pay for your $997 Wedding Planning Blueprint service.

  2. Step 2

    Share Your Honeymoon Preferences

    Complete your Wedding Planning Blueprint Pre-Consultation Questionnaire and indicate whether you’d like a complimentary honeymoon certificate.

    You may express your preferences for a cruise, Caribbean getaway, weekend escape, or local/nearby getaway.

    Receive Your Certificate

    Chicago Love Connection will coordinate the complimentary certificate offering based on available promotional options and provide the applicable redemption information.

    Certificate redemption and travel fulfillment are administered by the promotional travel provider and its fulfillment partners.

Important: The certificate is complimentary, but travel is not necessarily free. Taxes, fees, fulfillment charges, additional travel expenses, redemption restrictions, and provider terms and conditions may apply. Destinations, travel dates, and specific certificate options are subject to availability and applicable terms.

Before you book

Cancellations, Rescheduling, No-Shows & Missed Deadlines

Payment

The Wedding Planning Blueprint costs $997, paid in full at booking. Purchases are nonrefundable except where required by applicable law or where Chicago Love Connection cannot provide the purchased service.

Advance Booking and Preparation

All appointments, including replacement and recovery appointments, must be booked at least 14 calendar days in advance.

The comprehensive Wedding Planning Blueprint questionnaire must be completed at least 72 hours before each scheduled consultation.

Complimentary Rescheduling

You receive one complimentary opportunity to reschedule using your original payment if your original appointment cannot proceed due to any of the following: a voluntary cancellation; a customer-requested rescheduling; a no-show, with or without advance notice; failure to submit the required questionnaire at least 72 hours before the consultation.

The replacement appointment must be booked within 30 calendar days of the original scheduled consultation date.

The replacement consultation may take place after the 30-day window, provided the booking occurs within that period and meets the 14-day advance-booking requirement and availability.

Paid Recovery

If the complimentary rescheduling opportunity expires unused, or the replacement appointment cannot proceed due to another occurrence of any of the following, the original payment is forfeited: a voluntary cancellation; a customer-requested rescheduling; a no-show, with or without advance notice; failure to submit the required questionnaire at least 72 hours before the consultation.

You may recover the service for an additional $297, provided you pay the recovery fee and book the recovery appointment within 60 calendar days of the original scheduled consultation date.

The recovery consultation may take place after the 60-day window if booked within the deadline, subject to the 14-day advance-booking requirement and availability.

Final Expiration

If you miss the 60-day recovery deadline, or the recovery appointment cannot proceed because of another occurrence of any of the following, recovery eligibility expires: a voluntary cancellation; a customer-requested rescheduling; a no-show, with or without advance notice; failure to submit the required questionnaire at least 72 hours before the consultation.

A new Wedding Planning Blueprint purchase at the then-current full service price is required to proceed.

Chicago Love Connection-Initiated Changes

If Chicago Love Connection needs to cancel or reschedule, you may rebook at no additional charge or penalty. A CLC-initiated change does not consume your complimentary rescheduling opportunity or trigger the $297 recovery fee.

If Chicago Love Connection cannot provide the purchased service, an appropriate refund will be offered.

Scheduling Clarification

The 30-day and 60-day deadlines govern when you must book the replacement or recovery appointment, not when the consultation must take place.

Customers remain responsible for meeting booking deadlines, the 14-day advance-booking requirement, and appointment availability.

Chicago Love Connection manually controls cancellations where action by the business is required.
