Anticipation Events is a boutique event planning firm specializing in weddings, social occasions, and not-for-profit meetings and fundraisers.
Prior to founding Anticipation Events in 2009, Elizabeth Tulipana worked as an event planner for four years at one of Chicago’s most beloved cultural institutions. In early 2009 she left her job to travel in South America for six months; after scaling the Andes, traversing the jungle, and swimming with sea turtles, she came back to Chicago with the guts to go at it on her own.
From sparkling black-tie galas to intimate wedding ceremonies, Elizabeth has the experience to make your event a success. Having coordinated lunch-time board meetings for 20 and evening cocktail parties for 1000, Elizabeth has the flexibility and the creativity to translate your vision into a flawless event. Her goal for your event is that while she plans, organizes, and manages every last detail, you simply anticipate and enjoy the day.
Elizabeth graduated from Miami University (Ohio) with a bachelor’s degree in communications, and has nearly completed another degree in fashion marketing at the Illinois Institute of Art. She lives in Chicago’s West Wicker Park neighborhood with her boyfriend and their cacti.
