In a city full of event planners,
you may wonder why you should choose
Glowing Moments.
Hi! My name is Tempris Daniels, Owner and Lead Planner of Glowing Moments, a Black and female-run business whose mission is to create everlasting memories for couples and their families during one of the most memorable moments in their lives. Glowing Moments focuses on inclusivity, social justice, and affordability to individuals regardless of finances and budget. Personally, I strive to create a non-toxic and clean lifestyle for myself and, in turn, have created a company that mirrors this lifestyle as well. I pride myself on being detail-oriented and will ensure that your wedding vision comes to life by strengthening the relationship with your venue and vendors. Rest assured, I will not rest until I know a job is complete, making your wedding day stress-free and smooth.
I am a passionate and hard-working female entrepreneur whose Chicago roots help me to know all there is to know about the city. I also have a background in Higher Education and work at The University of Chicago, which has paved the way for me to create Glowing Moments. I have channeled years of planning international trips, wedding, and events for family and friends as well as student events for over 10,000 people at the University into creating a thriving wedding planning business. Consider me your planner, coordinator, and friend throughout this special process- everything will be taken care of! I approach life with tenacity, a sense of calmness, and passion to my various commitments. Your event is no exception!
In my spare time, you can spot me at Ritual Hot Yoga, making a green smoothie, and planning my next travel adventure. While traveling the world is a passion of mine, I am forever proud to call Chicago my forever home.
Born & raised in the City of Chicago and best friends for 14+ years! Five strong women working in: Public Health, Higher Education, as a Mom, Clinical Professional Counselor, and Occupational Therapy.
On my 28th birthday, family and friends joined me as we travelled to Thailand! Traveling is extremely important in our family and something we are privileged to do every year.
During my time working in The College at The University of Chicago, I advised our Programming Boards. This photo is from a formal with over 700 students in attendance!
This is a photo of my dad (far left) laughing with his brothers at a family gathering. Fun fact: my dad is one of nine brothers.
Wedding prep time before our best friend (far right) got married to the love of her life. It was a beautiful day for an outdoor wedding!
One of my favorite photos! Me in the middle with my dad (left) and brother (right). Oldie but a goodie!
Our friend got married on campus at Augustana College, where we went to school. Coming back to campus with college best friends and sorority sisters is a blessing! Everlasting friendships mean the world to me.
Celebrating love (this is my friend's bachelorette party) is important to me! And who doesn't love a boat!
I went to college to become a Physical Therapist; I was sure of it. Then during college, I realized working with college students was my professional path. Thus, a Master's in Higher Education!
Time with my cousin is so precious to me. Fun fact: we are about 4 years apart in age and growing up anything she did, I wanted to do. Even today, our families are extremely close!
Dressing up for a wedding is one of my favorite things to do! Celebrating our friend's special day is exciting and a great way to get everyone together.
This is what 23 years of friendship looks like. This is best friends being best friends while their mom's are also best friends. This is your mom being their mom and their mom being your mom.
Why this photo? My first Higher Education job shaped my professional career in ways I didn't realize until I transitioned into my current role at the Harris School. This is the team I had the pleasure to learn from for 4 years.
Being with family & friends is the most important thing to me. Here is our trip from my mom's 60th birthday!
Moving to the beat of the music; Ritual Hot Yoga is a place for community and a space you can be your true self. Photo cred: @garrettroth
