Fierce Productions

Fierce Productions is a Chicago-based wedding planning and event design company, founded in 2015 by owner and creative director Laura Reitsma, with a team that includes planners, coordinators, and video production staff. The team draws on backgrounds in theater, dance, and art to build non-traditional, narrative-driven events, with particular strengths in vendor coordination, entertainment sourcing, and weaving client cultural identity into the event design. Fierce Productions has operated since 2015 and is a woman and Cuban-American-owned business led by Laura Reitsma, who has navigated the company through a global pandemic and her own breast cancer diagnosis. Based in Chicago, with documented work in Miami, including an event at the Ancient Spanish Monastery. Reviewers frequently cite responsive vendor coordination, stress-free day-of execution, and guests still talking about events months later; one couple noted they would not have changed a single thing about their wedding.
