Two people in love start planning a wedding and realize they much rather spend their time and money in something else, like a fantastic honeymoon or a downpayment on a house.
That's where we come in.
WE'RE SO GLAD YOU FOUND US!
We are Sandra, Sonya and Jenna, a photographer and two wedding planners who have been working in Chicago for quite a long time. We met at an industry event that none of us can recall, have worked quite a few weddings together, and truly love our jobs. While we still work big, fat, sometimes Greek, sometimes not weddings, we also know that the investment required for these huge productions isn't something that everyone can or wants to do. And while almost anyone can go straight to the courthouse in Chicago and get married for less than $200, we believe that you don't need to sacrifice style and beauty to have an elopement. This is why we created Le Petit Weddings, so you can literally have your very fancy cake and well... of course you're going to eat it! What else will you do with it?
So if the idea of hosting a massive wedding event isn't making you feel excited but you still want to wear something nice, exchange beautiful vows and celebrate in the city, contact us so we can help you plan and remember your day.
Meet the Team
 
Sonya Tran
Planner & Officiant
Wants to eat all the potatoes. That's not a joke. The way to her heart is to feed her potatoes of every kind, in any recipe, nothing is off-limits. We're pretty sure the man of her dreams is Mr Potato Head.
 
Jenna Rainey
Planner & Officiant
Passionate about iced vanilla lattes. Once you get her giggling, good luck getting her to stop. Has never had a bad hair day in her life. I mean, look at that mane!!
 
Sandra Armenteros
Photographer
Takes everyone else's pictures yet has zero decent headshots of herself. Loves her husband and son, but her real favorite is her dog. That furry angel can do no wrong (except for barking during client calls).
