Caitlin (Cate) Mangan

Lead Planner

Caitlin has been with Shh Events for nearly three years and loves being part of a growing team that prioritizes care, precision, and great experiences. Outside of weddings, she works full-time as a secretary for the Chicago Firefighters Union, bringing organization and attention to detail to everything she does.

Caitlin thrives on making sure every part of the wedding day runs exactly as it should, from the ceremony through the final song of the night. She’s passionate about helping couples relax, enjoy themselves, and trust that everything is handled.

When she’s not working, Caitlin loves spending time with friends and family, relaxing with her dogs, Paisley and Wallen, and unwinding with a good show or book.
