CHI thee WED Wedding Vendor Community
A Community Built on Collaboration
CHI thee WED was founded to be a trusted resource for couples while planning their wedding in Chicago and the Greater Chicagoland area. We strive to connect every couple with the most passionate and professional wedding vendors in the area.
We believe that love is love, Chicago is the best backdrop to celebrate a wedding, and that collaboration and networking are KEY to business success. Our community is a group of like-minded vendors that want to grow their businesses, want financial freedom and support their follow friend, neighbor and business. If that already sounds like you, you’re exactly where you need to be.
Joining the CHI thee WED vendor community is more than a marketing opportunity - it is a chance to align yourself with other wedding vendors while also growing your business and your network. From education to exclusive styled shoots... there is something for every wedding professional.
Our owner, Michelle Cox-Vergara, worked as a wedding photographer in Chicago for over 13 years. When she joined CTW it was her goal to not only continue with the mission of the blog, but to give wedding vendors MORE. There are many opportunities for marketing in Chicago but there are very few that offer resources for businesses, access to education and opportunity to network in a “no flex zone”. We recognize that we are all growing, learning, succeeding, and sometimes struggling… but when we come together to share and vent, we have an atmosphere of collaboration and connection.
