What clients say

Reviews from real events

I had a last-minute event to plan, and I contacted them a couple of days before. I was afraid nothing would be available but they got back to me pretty fast. Prices are affordable, with the 3rd hour free! They're very professional, I will definitely book again and recommend.

About Kei Events

Aricka Dean, Owner and Coordinator

Aricka Dean spent 15 years running large operations for Walmart, Jet's Pizza, Burger King, and Pancheros Mexican Grill before founding Kei Events in 2020. The leadership and logistics skills she built in corporate carried straight over into planning the kind of events her own family loved coming to. Today she runs Kei Events as a true one-stop event shop in Champaign County.

From bounce houses and giant games to catering coordination, balloon artists, and cake decorators, Kei Events handles every moving piece. Aricka has planned everything from kids' birthdays to corporate gatherings to a three-day family reunion for 200 guests in Chicago. If it is an event worth throwing, it is worth planning right.

FAQ

Good questions

What events do you plan?

Birthdays, corporate events, family reunions, Juneteenth events, back-to-school events, baby showers, weddings, holiday parties, and brand activations. If you are planning a gathering of any size, contact us and we will tell you whether we are the right fit.

How far ahead should I book?

Aricka prefers at least two weeks notice for full event planning. Shorter timelines can often be accommodated with a more limited selection of services. For bounce house and equipment rentals alone, same-week availability is often possible.

Do you handle vendors or do clients book them?

Kei Events handles all vendor bookings. Catering, balloon artists, cake decorators, shelters, tents, and specialty rentals all run through Aricka so clients have one point of contact.

What is the biggest event you have planned?

A three-day family reunion for 200 guests in Chicago. Day 1 was a meet-and-greet at a five-star downtown hotel, Day 2 was a picnic at Six Flags Great America, and Day 3 was a vintage-themed banquet at a venue designed to look like an old church and an upside-down Noah's Ark.

What is your pricing model?

Pricing varies based on the specific services selected. For a custom quote, request a consultation and Aricka will walk you through what is included.
