Private Estate & Tented Wedding Planning
Full-service wedding planning & design for celebrations built around a place that means something to you.
Based in Milwaukee, Blue Fancy Events specializes in private estate and tented weddings throughout Lake Geneva, Chicago, and beyond.
A Wedding Venue Built Around You
Private estate and tented weddings give you the freedom to create something that could never quite fit inside a traditional venue. Sometimes that means building an entire celebration around a family property or lakefront home. Other times, it means turning a tent into a wedding space that feels completely your own.
That freedom also comes with more moving pieces. Blue Fancy specializes in bringing them together. From tent placement and guest flow to rentals, vendor timing, weather plans, and design, we look at the setting and celebration as a whole so everything feels intentional when the day arrives.
Full-Service Planning & Design
There are a lot of decisions between “we’re getting married here” and walking into a finished celebration. We help make sense of all of them, while keeping the wedding feeling like yours from beginning to end.
Planning
We keep the moving pieces moving. Timelines, vendors, rentals, logistics, communication, and all the decisions in between are organized so you’re not trying to hold the entire wedding in your head.
Design
The best weddings don’t feel like they came from a template. We build the visual direction around the setting, the people, and all the details that make the celebration feel unmistakably yours.
Tented Wedding Expertise
A tent gives you a blank canvas, which is both the fun part and the complicated part. We think through how the property, tent, rentals, weather, guest experience, and design all work together before the first table is ever set.
Weddings Made for the Setting
There is no single Blue Fancy look, and that’s the point. Each celebration begins with a different property, a different couple, and a different reason for gathering there.

Meet Chloe
Chloe McClure leads Blue Fancy Events with equal parts organization, creativity, and a good sense of when to keep things moving. She stays close to the details, the vendor conversations, and the decisions happening behind the scenes so you don’t have to spend your engagement managing all of them yourself.
Especially with a private estate or tented wedding, there can be a lot happening at once. Chloe’s job is to make all of that feel a whole lot simpler from your side of things.
On the wedding day, you should be thinking about the people in front of you, not whether the rental truck arrived.
Kind Words
The whole team was just amazing!
Booking Blue Fancy / Light as a Feather as our full wedding planner was truly the best decision we made in our wedding planning process! We wanted to have an outdoor wedding ceremony/tented reception on our family’s property (a flower farm), and Meredith made all of our dreams come true and more. For a year and a half, we worked closely with Meredith to bring our vision to life. She was patient, creative, organized, incredibly responsive, and gave us outstanding advice throughout the process. She did an amazing job of recommending vendors to us who matched our vision and energy. She also negotiated directly with all of the vendors, keeping the fees low and often securing wholesale pricing for our larger ticket items. On the day of the wedding, two of Meredith’s assistants – Megan and Victoria – joined Meredith to coordinate the day-of logistics. The whole team was just amazing! They were professional, well-prepared, and everything ran smoothly. The wedding day was better than anything we could have ever dreamed of, and we have Meredith to thank for it! We highly, highly recommend hiring Meredith and her team for your event needs! (Photos by Autumn Silva)

Common Questions About Private Estate & Tented Weddings
What makes a tented wedding different from a traditional venue wedding?
A tented wedding often starts with a space that does not have the built-in layout or systems of a traditional wedding venue. The tent, rentals, vendor access, guest flow, weather plan, and event timeline all have to work together. That extra layer of planning is why Blue Fancy specializes in private estate and tented celebrations.
Does Blue Fancy only plan weddings in Milwaukee?
No. Blue Fancy is based in the Milwaukee area and plans weddings in destinations including Lake Geneva and Chicago, as well as celebrations beyond the immediate region.
Does Blue Fancy provide full-service wedding planning & design?
Yes. Blue Fancy Events provides full-service wedding planning and design with a particular focus on private estate and tented weddings.
