About J's Elevated Dreams

J's Elevated Dreams

Event + Wedding Planner

Born and raised in the vibrant city of Chicago, I come from a big, lively, and wonderfully loud Middle Eastern family, my heart has always been set on bringing people together and celebrating love in all its forms. What better way to do that than planning fabulous + unforgettable weddings, birthdays, showers, + more! My friends often turn to me for organizing their events, our travel adventures, & booking our excursions, which sparked the idea: why not make this my career? With over 5 years of professional event planning experience under my belt, I’ve absolutely fallen in love with crafting every little detail to ensure your day is perfect!

When you have me by your side during the planning process, you can relax and enjoy the journey. No need to stress about how everything will come together on the big day or who will be coordinating all your fabulous vendors—I’ve got it all covered! I’m here to make your elevated dreams come true and sprinkle a little magic into every celebration! Featured in Chicago Style Weddings

    Sisters Wedding

    Jen David was truly one of the most important parts of my sister’s wedding day! From the entire planning process to the very last moment, she made everything feel so smooth, peaceful, and stress-free, allowing us to be fully present and enjoy every second of such a special day. She was truly our right-hand lady, and anytime we needed anything, she or someone from her amazing team was right there to help. She was incredibly kind, patient, and thoughtful with our entire family, and we cannot thank her enough for everything she did for us. Jen is an absolute lifesaver, and I honestly cannot imagine how the day would have gone without her. She helped make everything so beautiful and seamless, and we are forever grateful to her. If you are planning a wedding, you NEED Jen David as your wedding planner! She is truly the best, and having her by your side will make all the difference. We could not have asked for a better person to help make our day so unforgettable!

    Truly the Best Wedding Coordinator!

    I cannot say enough amazing things about Jen from J’s Elevated Dreams! She was absolutely wonderful to work with and played such an important role in making our wedding day so special. From beginning to end, Jen was professional, organized, attentive, and genuinely cared about making sure everything went perfectly. Our wedding was a big celebration with so many moving parts, and Jen handled everything with such grace and confidence. She made sure everything stayed on schedule, paid attention to all the little details, and took so much stress off our shoulders. Because of her, my husband and I were able to truly enjoy our special day without constantly worrying about what needed to happen next. What I appreciated most was how dedicated, kind, and hardworking she was throughout the entire process. It was clear that she genuinely cared about us and wanted our wedding to be everything we dreamed of. Jen, thank you so much for all your hard work, patience, and dedication! We are so grateful you were part of our wedding day. I would recommend J’s Elevated Dreams to any bride looking for someone reliable, caring, and amazing at what they do. You will be in wonderful hands!

    Jens Allowed us to Enjoy our wedding

    We cannot recommend Jen and J’s Elevated Dream highly enough! From start to finish, working with Jen was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. Everything went absolutely great, and she made the entire experience feel effortless for us. What truly set Jen apart was how she handled the unexpected. Several issues came up during the wedding day, and we had no idea they were even happening because Jen took care of everything behind the scenes. She allowed us to have a completely carefree wedding by managing all the logistics, solving problems, and dealing with any complaints so we never had to put out fires or stress about a single thing. We got to fully celebrate and enjoy our big day with our family and friends, and that is priceless. Thanks so much, Jen—you really made our wedding carefree and we had so much fun. If you’re looking for a wedding planner who is calm, proactive, and truly has your back so you can just be present and happy, Jen is the one. We are so grateful!

She truly took the time to understand what we wanted and brought our vision to life even better than we imagined. Her attention to detail was unmatched, and she handled everything…from coordinating with the venue and vendors to managing the timeline and making sure the entire evening ran smoothly.

    Hire Jen!!!

    Jen truly was the most amazing planner from start to finish. She immediately stepped in and helped us get organized with all the daunting details, making the entire planning process feel so much more manageable and stress-free. Every check-in call, she showed up prepared, thoughtful, and full of helpful advice. By our final walkthrough, it was clear how well she knew our venue, our vendors, and our exact vision for the day. She has such an incredible eye for the little details while also keeping the big picture in mind to make sure everything comes together seamlessly. The day of our wedding truly couldn’t have gone smoother, and a huge part of that is thanks to Jen. From the moment she arrived that morning, I knew everything was in good hands. She was always one step ahead, ready to help wherever needed while also working seamlessly behind the scenes to make sure every detail came together exactly as we had envisioned. We were able to be fully present and enjoy our day knowing she had everything covered. I truly couldn’t recommend Jen enough!
