With more than a decade of event planning and coordination, Colette and Kari are dedicated to making their clients feel like guests are their own events. Colette and Kari have both spent their lives on stage and have a deep love of performance. Their dance background gives them a unique perspective on how to make a solo shine while making sure the chorus line plays to the back of the house. Between them, Colette and Kari’s work has included virtual event series for the Chicago Reader, donor events for Chicago Public Media, and weddings in Chicago, New Orleans, and Santa Barbara.

Based in Chicago, IL, Ribbon Sports was created to choreograph your celebration.
