About us
About [aba]
A’Vents by August [ABA] is a Chicago-based event production and design company creating intentional, visually compelling experiences at scale for corporate, nonprofit, and community-driven clients. We specialize in full-scale event production, creative direction, and environmental and floral design.
Founded by Alicia August-Wright in 2009, ABA was built on a deep understanding of hospitality, culture, and the power of well-executed experiences. What started as a passion has grown into a trusted production partner for organizations seeking thoughtful design, strong leadership, and seamless execution.
From concept to completion, we lead every phase of the process, including planning, design, production, and on-site execution. Our work goes beyond aesthetics. We create experiences that feel aligned, intentional, and impactful.
WHO IS “AUGUST”?
“August” is Alicia, the heart and creative force behind A’Vents by August.
She didn’t start with a blueprint. She started with intention, creating experiences for her own community that felt thoughtful, accessible, and elevated.
That same energy still drives her work today, blending culture, creativity, and real connection into every experience she touches.
"We create unforgettable events where every detail reflects our love for storytelling and genuine hospitality."
