What's 'HEI'?

HEI comes from the Cantonese word for 囍 (pronounced "hei"), a symbol of double happiness and prosperity often used in Chinese weddings. It represents joy, union, and meaningful celebration—everything we aim to bring into every event we plan.​ We understand the importance of culture and tradition in weddings. Whether you're planning a multicultural celebration or honoring long-held family customs, we’re here to make sure those moments are respected and thoughtfully woven into a wedding that still feels uniquely yours.

Behind Our Brand

Amanda is a professional Chicago Wedding Planner with 4 years of experience, passionate about creating stress-free weddings

Hi, my name is Amanda!

Congratulations on your engagement! - I'm so excited to be part of your wedding journey! With four year of experience in the wedding industry, I'm passionate about bringing each couple's unique vision to life while ensuring every detail runs smoothly so you can truly enjoy your special day and everything in between.

One of the most rewarding parts of this work is getting to know the couples I work with. It brings me so much purpose and joy seeing couples enjoy their special day with their loved ones without having to worry about a thing.

Wedding planning is where I pour my heart and creativity, and my background in design complements it beautifully. This balance allows me to bring my creativity, problem solving skills and attention to detail into both worlds. When I'm not designing or planning weddings, you can find me traveling the world, or experimenting with a new baking recipe!

I can't wait to help you create the wedding of your dreams!

Cheers, Amanda
