I'm Bristol Echeverria, Owner and Master Certified Wedding Planner with Sustainable Soirées, as well as Education Chair of the Green Wedding Alliance and host of Chicago's biggest wedding industry networking event, Thursday Therapy. I'm extremely passionate about helping my clients have the celebrations of their dreams and dedicating myself to you and your unique goals is my focus. I want you to enjoy the planning process just as much as the wedding day and I genuinely want you to focus on the joy of getting married and celebrating as sustainably as possible.

As your wedding planner, I consider you to be my number one priority. I can promise that your wedding will be planned with the utmost care and attention to detail needed to ensure you're being taken care of and your expectations are being met. I pride myself on my ability to be the calming presence in every room and orchestrate a seamless wedding day.

Among many other things, I love coffee, flowers, fine art, Bravo reality shows, Taylor Swift, spending time with family, and being inspired by the people I surround myself with. I am lucky to have married my best friend, whom I met in high school, and have quite possibly the sweetest daughter in the world.

I'm truly grateful you stopped by Sustainable Soirées and I look forward to helping you plan your favorite day ever!

Eco-friendly creative team

Staying local

MINIMIZING WASTE

Sustainable Soirées has five core values that our team uses in the planning of every event...

Our team uses 100% recycled paper and plans every event using an online suite of planning tools, documents, and spreadsheets that are also accessible by our clients at any time

As a member of the Green Wedding Alliance, we prioritize working with like-minded vendors who implement green practices both in the office and in the execution of events. 

Our design services provide couples with unique ideas that don't require purchasing single-use items. We pull inspiration directly from their venue to utilize the space wisely and we provide recommendations for stylish, reusable rental items.

We arrange composting services for food waste and floral repurposing services so that your beautiful arrangements can have a second life at nursing homes and charity organizations.

We plan weddings primarily in the Chicago area, but, from time to time, we will drive to Wisconsin and Michigan. We value the close relationships we have with local wedding professionals, so by staying local we ensure consistent results for both our team as well as our clients. Not only do we support our local economy this way, but we also reduce our carbon footprint by not traveling more than 120 miles.

We plan and design events that leave a lasting impression on your guests, not the environment
