OCCASIONS, WITH INTENTION.
There is an art to creating a moment people remember.
It begins with a vision, takes shape through thoughtful design, and comes to life through the details.
KAY & OCCASION brings together planning, design, and production to create celebrations that feel deeply personal and beautifully effortless.
From the first idea to the final detail, every occasion is considered.
Proposal Planning & Design
A proposal is more than a question.
It is the anticipation, the atmosphere, the story behind the moment, and everything that happens in between.
KAY & OCCASION thoughtfully plans and designs proposals throughout Chicago and the surrounding suburbs, bringing together creative direction, location, florals, styling, vendors, and the details that make the moment feel entirely yours.
Whether quietly intimate or beautifully grand, we create proposals designed to be remembered long after the question has been asked.

EVENT PLANNING & DESIGN
The most meaningful celebrations aren't simply beautiful.
They feel effortless.
KAY & OCCASION offers thoughtful event planning and design for celebrations where every element from the setting to the smallest detail, is intentionally considered.
We work at the intersection of planning, creative direction, and design, bringing together the people, places, details, and logistics required to create a celebration that feels cohesive from beginning to end.

For our Proposal Collection, starting investments are presented within each experience.
