I work as a Lead Planner at Glowing Moments! My professional background is in Higher Education and I have served in a variety of student and alumni facing roles in academic services, orientation programming, and alumni relations. Through these roles I have advised students in both undergraduate and graduate programs and planned programming for thousands of community members each year.

The best part of my work is partnering with students and alumni to plan meaningful experiences by providing consistent support, providing guidance through challenges, and helping them identify pathways that they may not have thought about before, but enhance their journey. I bring that same passion and support to my work at Glowing Moments and strive to help couples find the best path towards the wedding of their dreams. Through joy, positivity, care and lots of spreadsheets, I will be there at every step along the way!

In my spare time, I enjoy exploring Chicago, reading, going to work out classes, and a sunny happy hour on the patio with friends. I am originally from Seattle but after living here for many years, I am proud to call the city home.

Hi! My name is Danielle and I’m a Lead Planner at Glowing Moments. While I’m fairly new to the wedding and events industry, my love of weddings goes way back. I’ve been a bridesmaid more times than I can count, which has always been such a joy for me. Being such a big part of multiple friends’ weddings and being able to celebrate their love with them really got me interested in the idea of helping other couples make their dream day come true. And planning my own wedding in 2024 (with the help of Tempris and her team, I’m a Glowing Moments bride myself!) fully solidified for me that wedding planning was something I wanted to fully pursue. I love taking an event like a wedding from a loose concept to a fully formed vision. I’m so looking forward to helping couples have their unique dream day that encapsulates and celebrates their love for each other!

My professional background is in nonprofit communications & marketing, and I’ve been working in that field for over 7 years. I love to write and was so lucky I was able to make a full time career out of it. In my free time, I love lounging on the beach, listening to music, reading cheesy romance books, cuddling up with my cat Ana, and trying out new restaurants and cafes with my husband (I’m a huge fan of italian food, especially a good carbonara). I’m originally from Indianapolis, IN, but I’ve lived in Chicago for almost 6 years. Even after all this time here, I still find there’s so much to explore in the city, so I love going on adventures around different neighborhoods!

 I am an Associate Planner with Glowing Moments and am thrilled to bring my love of people, community, and thoughtful experiences to the wedding world. My professional background is in alumni relations and volunteer engagement, where I’ve spent years planning meaningful programs, supporting community members through big transitions, and creating welcoming spaces for connection. From large networking events to intimate conversations, I’ve had the privilege of guiding countless individuals through moments that matter — and that’s what drew me to weddings, too.

Event planning has always felt like a natural extension of what I value most: collaboration, care, and celebrating people’s stories. I am excited to partner with couples to understand their vision, bring it to life, and make their day joyful. I bring a warm, detail‑oriented, and steady presence to every event, and I’m committed to ensuring couples feel supported at every step. It’s so meaningful to help turn a vision into a lived moment — one filled with joy, intention, and memories they’ll hold onto for years.

In my free time, I love biking along the Lakefront, trying new recipes, reading, and searching for the perfect thrift finds. I am from Columbus, Ohio and Pittsburgh, PA originally, but am thrilled to call Chicago home for over 4 years now!

Hi! My name is Arianna and I am a Lead Event Planner at Glowing Moments! I work full-time as a Managing Editorial Assistant for a book publishing company where I help oversee the book production process, ensuring all materials are approved and finalized according to schedule. I often say my full-time job is a lot like event planning for books!

I have wanted to be a wedding planner since I was a little girl and have strived to make that my reality ever since! During my undergrad, I worked for several wedding planners on both the West Coast and East Coast, gaining experience at various weddings differing in scale, theme, and logistical complexity. My love for weddings comes from a lifelong love of all things romance which is why my favorite part about wedding planning is witnessing the pure love, joy, and adoration on a couple’s face as they celebrate such a meaningful day, hand in hand with their forever person, and knowing I played a small role in bringing that day to life. I truly put my all into every wedding I work and am thrilled to bring my enthusiasm, background, and passion to Glowing Moments!

In my spare time, I enjoy reading heartwarming romance novels, spending time with my cat, binge-watching every reality dating show known to man, and ending every day with hairbrush karaoke (in true romcom fashion). I am originally from Southern California (born and raised!) and moved to Chicago shortly after graduating college about three years ago. I can’t wait to continue exploring this wonderful city!

Hello! I am an Associate Planner after being a Glowing Moments bride myself in summer 2026! I have been working as an art teacher for 8 years, and I Iove seeing my middle school students express their creativity. As a teacher, I am constantly designing new projects and guiding my students to bring their unique ideas to life.

After planning my own wedding, I realized how much I enjoyed using my artistic eye and organizational skills from the beginning planning stages all the way to the big day. I have always loved going to weddings, and my goal is to help with every little detail so that couples can live in the moment and take everything in on their wedding day.

I grew up in the suburbs of Chicago, and in my free time I love continuing to explore the city's neighborhoods and restaurants. I love hiking and will travel anywhere in the world to experience new heights. On a typical weekend, you can find my husband and I working on house projects and taking our dog on long walks.
