Robyn Bruns of Red Letter Event Planning

Many of our busy Brides need an “extra set of hands” on their special day, and being a part of the Association of Bridal Consultants (ABC), has allowed me to meet wonderful wedding planners who can assist our Brides. Robyn Bruns, owner of Red Letter Event Planning is a great resource and can help you with your “Red Letter Day!”  She took a few minutes out of her busy day to share more about herself and her company with our readers.

Hi Robyn, tell us about yourself:  I started Red Letter Event Planning four years ago, originally I thought my clients would be planning corporate events but I fell in love planning weddings.   Now 90% of the business is wedding planning from full planning to wedding day management.

What town is your business located?
I am located in the beautiful north shore suburb of Glenview, I love my town, there is always something fun going on.  But of course I can help Brides throughout the Chicagoland area.

What services do you offer to Brides & Grooms?
My philosophy is that a wedding has to reflect the couple getting married, I always tell my clients that the best thing I can hear at their wedding is one of the guests saying, this wedding is so Chrissy, or Matt or whatever the name is of the couple. Then I KNOW I have done my job.

Wow Robyn, we are definitely on the same page…the more creative and personalized the wedding the better!

Do you have memberships in any associations or trade groups?
I have the Professional Bridal Consultant designation with the Association of Bridal Consultants.

Has your business received any awards or designations? I have received the 2010 Brides Choice award from Wedding Wire. I am also an approved vendor on the website You’re EnGAYged, which I am proud of because I believe every person has the right to walk down the aisle.

Where do you see yourself in 5 years?
Hopefully still doing what I love which is planning weddings, playing with my dog and living a happy life with my soul mate and husband Greg. I also have a Mediterranean cruise on my 5 year list!

Sounds fantastic…especially the cruise!  It is also my philosophy to work hard and play hard.

What is your favorite color?
My personal favorite color is green, however my all time favorite wedding color combo is black and white with an accent color, this year I think the coral and turquoise colors look fantastic with black and white.

If you could only have one song on your Ipod, which song would it be?   That is really a difficult question as I love all types of music, I actually went to my ipod to see what song I played the most these past few weeks, embarrassingly enough it was Go Cubs Go (I went to a game last week) I guess that shows I am an eternal optimist!

Seeing the glass half full is a great characteristic…especially in the Wedding Business!
