Bloomington is in Illinois, in the Midwest, where summers are warm, winters are cold and snowy, and most errands are done by car; businesses keep steady year-round hours with the usual holiday changes. US addresses list the street number and name, then the city, state abbreviation and ZIP code, and Bloomington follows the same pattern; a suite or apartment number such as Ste 200 refers to a unit inside the building. The map link on this page shows the exact spot.

I had the pleasure of coordinating in-person and virtual conferences and events with Claire between 2021-2024. Her passion for event planning truly shows in everything she does. She is an excellent communicator, very organized, creative, professional, and fun to work with. Claire has a great eye for detail and goes above and beyond to make events run smoothly. I highly recommend her for your next event!

Claire at Designs Plus Events is truly extraordinary! As the mother of the bride, I had the privilege of working with Claire on my daughter’s destination wedding July 2013, which we planned from a cruise. She went above and beyond to make every detail perfect—creating a stunning handmade bridal bouquet, designing elegant and personalized invitations, and even planning a beautiful bridal shower that left everyone talking. Her creativity, warmth, and flawless organization turned what could have been a stressful experience into a joyful, unforgettable celebration. I’ve also had the pleasure of attending other events Claire has planned, including a memorable graduation party at the Illinois State University Hancock Stadium Club, a magnificent wedding set in an airline hangar and a wedding at Pear Tree Estate. Each event was unique, breathtaking, and executed with the same meticulous attention to detail and creative vision. Claire has an incredible ability to transform any occasion into something magical, and her passion for what she does shines through in every moment. I can’t recommend Claire and Designs Plus Events highly enough—whether you’re planning a wedding, party, or any spec

Claire is as professional and attentive as they come! If you want your event covered top to bottom, organized to a T, and to run flawlessly, hire her! She is beyond knowledgeable… she literally has a degree in what she does! If that wasn’t enough, she’s caring, patient, kind, and genuinely cares about her clients and ensuring they have the best day ever. I am a photographer of 17 years and I have only seen planners of her caliber in huge metropolitan areas…. Which makes sense because she formerly worked in Scottsdale, AZ… which if you know anything about Scottsdale weddings, they are elaborate, orchestrated, and sometimes absolutely beasts. Central IL (and beyond) is lucky to have her!

Claire with Designs Plus Events is an absolute joy to work with! She’s professional, hardworking, and incredibly organized. Claire participated in my wedding expos and impressed not only me but also the couples she met. She’s always helpful, easy to communicate with, and goes above and beyond to make sure everything runs smoothly. I truly value her dedication and passion for what she does, and I’m looking forward to working with her again in the future. Highly recommend her to any couple looking for a top-notch wedding planner!

Claire and Designs Plus Events helped me pull off an elopement within a short timeframe. I was impressed by all of the little details she thought of leading up to, and on, the big day. She worked with our families and the photographer to make a simple ceremony look and feel magical. My groom knows how stressed I can get when things don't go according to plan, and he remarked on how calm I was. His advice, "Hire Claire!"
