Five Grain Events // Chicago Wedding Planner // Joan and Sara

Monday, May 10th, 2010

I recently had the opportunity to do a photo session with Joan Cinquegrani and Sara Balsom of Five Grain Events. I was introduced to Joan through a mutual acquaintance only a few moths ago. We met for coffee and hit it off immediately. To be honest, I feel like I have known Joan much longer than I have. She is absolutely fantastic!! Being somewhat newer business owners, it has been great to be able to meet  regularly to bounce ideas around and encourage each other. Joan’s amazing ability to connect with people and juggle a million things at once, lends to her incredible talent as a planner! And Joan’s fun-loving, light-hearted approach to life is a perfect balance to her self-proclaimed, Type A work ethic.
Sara was recently brought on as a new associate coordinator with Five Grain Events. I met Sara for the first time on the day of this session. As expected, she is equally as fantastic. Her  skills and wealth of knowledge of the wedding industry make her an incredible resource for any wedding. Check out this recent Five Grain blog post to find out more about Sara. I am so excited to work more with these two ladies in the future! Besides day-of and full wedding coordination, Five Grain Events has also recently started offering a new really cool service. Guys, you’ll want to pay attention to this one…Proposal Planning!

Here are a few photos from our session!

At the end of our session, Joan revealed the more playful side of her personality. I love that we were able to capture this!!
