Jennifer

Founder & Chief Experience Officer, Event Shoppe Chicago
(She/Her — lover of tacos, pearls, and anything polka-dotted)
If history has taught Jennifer Price anything, it’s that great parties change the course of civilizations—okay, maybe not every civilization, but certainly every guest list. After 15+ years masterminding galas, fun runs, fashion shows, golf tournaments, museum-worthy weddings, and “how-did-you-even-think-of-that?” social soirées, Jennifer remains Chicago’s irrepressible architect of unforgettable moments.
She cut her teeth producing signature fundraisers for top-tier Chicago nonprofits, where a single misplaced escort card could torpedo a million-dollar night. That baptism by detail forged her mantra: “There’s no such thing as a problem, only a challenge begging for a clever solution.” Armed with an historian’s eye for context and a futurist’s appetite for innovation, she now curates fully immersive experiences that feel equal parts timeless and delightfully unexpected.
Jennifer’s fresh thinking and resourcefulness have not gone unnoticed:

WIPA Chicago Vice President (2025)
WeddingPro “Best of Weddings” (2022, ’23, ’24)
Couples’ Choice Award (2020 – 2023)
The Knot Fellowship for Change: Wisdom Award (2022)
Features in Modern Luxury Chicago, The New York Times, Brides, and Chi Thee Wed

But accolades are merely the glitter on the linen. Jennifer left the corporate grind to chase one thing: the unfiltered joy on a couple’s faces when they step into a perfectly designed room, realizing every quirky wish—from Grandma’s favorite jazz number to that secret taco-truck send-off—has already been handled. Her superpower? Solving problems clients never even knew existed, well before the final detail meeting.
When she isn’t color-coding timelines or plotting the next epic love story, you’ll find Jennifer in her Oak Park home binging historical documentaries, hosting brunch with her husband, and battling her two sons in Beyblade bursts (pearls firmly in place, obviously).
Favorite color: evergreen (like her ideas)
Secret belief: Pearls elevate any outfit
Life’s work: Turning “what if” into “remember when?”—one flawlessly orchestrated celebration at a time.
