Claire and Designs Plus Events helped me pull off an elopement within a short timeframe. I was impressed by all of the little details she thought of leading up to, and on, the big day. She worked with our families and the photographer to make a simple ceremony look and feel magical. My groom knows how stressed I can get when things don't go according to plan, and he remarked on how calm I was. His advice, "Hire Claire!"

Claire with Designs Plus Events is an absolute joy to work with! She’s professional, hardworking, and incredibly organized. Claire participated in my wedding expos and impressed not only me but also the couples she met. She’s always helpful, easy to communicate with, and goes above and beyond to make sure everything runs smoothly. I truly value her dedication and passion for what she does, and I’m looking forward to working with her again in the future. Highly recommend her to any couple looking for a top-notch wedding planner!

Such great memories you’ll have when Claire Pascavis of Designs Plus Events is on your team! It will be an excellent investment in your wedding or event, which is really investing in the people who attend your event & that is Claire’s heart, people! I have known Claire since 2012 when we began coordinating weddings together. As a younger coordinator she quickly earned esteemed trust from the brides as the one to have by their side for their big day from wedding to rehearsal to reception, Claire has a unique ability to understand where she can be most helpful to you and works with you to help make this day everything you hoped for and more! Her warm personality, passion for listening well and excellent communication skills are the foundation upon which her organizational skills thrive! She is creative, resourceful, quick on her feet, responsive, doesn’t forget anything AND keeps it all fun! This has got to be a superpower! Lindy’s review on the Designs Plus Events website is 100% true and I am here to tell you it was true in 2012! Claire’s commitment to you and your event goes beyond taking care of the details. She is a professional in the industry, completing her undergraduate and master’s degrees from Illinois State University in Recreation and Park Administration with a focus on Event Planning. Claire is highly respected in both Illinois and Arizona where she has planned successful events, large and small for universities, corporations and many happy couples. Reach out to her and her team if you have a wedding or event coming up. Ask some questions. Whether you hire her or not you’ll come away with something valuable & you know what, I bet you hire her!

When I got married, I did not have a wedding planner because I thought I could handle it all on my own. I quickly realized how much work was involved and that I was going to need some help! Claire stepped in and provided local vendor recommendations, including who I ended up using as my photographer and florist - both of which were highly reliable, unique, and priced within the level we wanted. We got married at The Castle Theatre in Bloomington, IL in 2016, and they had a show the night before, so we couldn’t decorate until the morning of the wedding, creating a lot of added stress! Luckily, Claire gladly helped to bring my VERY rough sketches to life. She ensured all decorations were placed perfectly, and helped to dress up a wedding arch - all while I was doing the normal bride-prep tasks. It gave me peace of mind knowing that Claire would have my best interest in mind and would ensure everything went off without a hitch. Our day would not have been the same without her!
