Monique Gunn is a Chicago native. She credits one of her most treasured roles in life - motherhood as the conduit that allowed her to  explore and unveil her creative side. From childhood, she engaged in creative arts, such as singing and acting. However, she didn’t begin to explore and express her creativity through her hands until she sought to make celebratory moments for her children special. She innately has an eye for detail and perfection.  Monique has a natural inclination to care for and consider others in a way that causes her to go over and above the call of duty. These natural tendencies only enhance her drive and passion when it comes to crafting and executing extravagant luxury decor for her clients.  These specific qualities drive her heart-felt approach when she joins with every client that entrusts the decor for their treasured event to her care.

Monique has been afforded the privilege of engaging with a variety of people from different experiences and cultures. As such, she can connect with and serve a variety of individuals. Her inherent ability to be present for and care for people became apparent as far back as childhood and was built upon through her church community as a ministry servant-leader, along with her educational pursuits and professional experiences that include obtaining her undergraduate and graduate degrees in Social Work. From there, she was licensed as a social worker in 2010, serving in various settings, such as hospitals, community agencies, the foster care system, the older adult population, and currently as a licensed and certified Social Worker within the school setting.

Monique's integrity, compassion, and commitment to people, along with her love for making things beautiful exudes in her work as an event designer. Her commitment to being a lifelong learner allows her to execute elevated event design with a distinct level of skill and dedication. Monique has undergone and completed training with IWED, backdrop design, floral design, and even woodworking for event prop building.  She believes in seizing the opportunity to glean from the best in the event design industry.  As such, she is a member of the mentorship group, Creatives Corner with renowned wedding planner and event designer, Akeshi Akinseye.  With Monique as the lead designer, your event will always surpass your dreams. As her client, you will be treated with respect and compassion.

"I am committed to providing you with caring, competent, and creative service that crafts extravagant luxury decor for your special event"
