Blue Llama Events: Thoughtfully Curated Celebrations for the Modern Couple

At Blue Llama Events, we believe every celebration deserves to be as distinctive as the people behind it. Founded by creative visionary , Jean Rivers, our Indianapolis- and Chicago-based planning and design team specializes in luxury, multicultural, and multi-day weddings and events that blend artistry, logistics, and emotion into one seamless experience.

Our Philosophy: Thoughtfully Curated Events

Every detail matters. From the first consultation to the final farewell, our approach is rooted in intentionality. We go beyond checklists and timelines to design an experience that tells your story—whether that’s an elegant South Asian fusion weekend, a black-tie ballroom affair, or a corporate gala that leaves guests inspired.

Our signature phrase, “Thoughtfully Curated Events,” guides everything we do. It’s about more than décor—it’s about crafting moments that feel authentic, warm, and beautifully orchestrated.

The Blue Llama Difference

What sets us apart is our blend of fine-arts creativity and MBA-level precision. Jean’s background in photography and business strategy allows our team to bring both artistic vision and operational excellence to each event.

We don’t just plan weddings—we engineer experiences. Using cutting-edge 3D design software, we create immersive layouts and visual walkthroughs so our clients can see exactly how their event will unfold, from the flow of guests to the sparkle of each centerpiece.

Behind every flawless celebration is our team of planners, designers, and creative directors—each dedicated to ensuring no moment is left to chance. We are the first to arrive, the last to leave, and the calm in the storm of celebration.

Serving Chicago, Indianapolis, and Beyond

From historic Chicago venues and lakeside estates to iconic Indianapolis ballrooms and countryside manors, our team designs events that reflect the spirit of each location. Whether your dream celebration takes place in the heart of the city or tucked away in a serene escape, we bring the same care, creativity, and expertise to every destination we serve.

Specializing in Multicultural and Fusion Weddings

Blue Llama Events is proud to be a leader in South Asian, Filipino, and cross-cultural wedding planning across the Midwest and beyond. We honor family traditions, rituals, and customs while introducing fresh design perspectives that reflect modern love stories.

Whether it’s coordinating a multi-day Baraat and Sangeet, styling a Western ceremony, or integrating both cultures into one breathtaking celebration, our team ensures every element feels cohesive and deeply meaningful.

Beyond Weddings

While weddings are our heart, our expertise extends to corporate expos, philanthropic galas, and private celebrations. From large-scale conferences to intimate dinners, we bring the same level of polish, creativity, and hospitality to every occasion.
