Events That Leave a
Lasting Mark
Built on Connection.
Driven by Purpose.
I’m Tatiana Frankl — founder of Polished & Poised. I came to Chicago from Texas and built something I didn’t expect: a business rooted in community, intention, and the belief that every event deserves to feel personal.
“Chicago didn't just give me a new home — it gave me a community, a purpose, and the courage to build something of my own.”
As I found my footing in this city, I found something I hadn't expected: a deep sense of belonging within Chicago's entrepreneurial and small business community. I saw the energy of people building things from the ground up, the power of genuine connection, and the gap that existed for corporate events that felt truly personal — not just produced. That gap became my calling.
Polished & Poised was built on the belief that every event deserves intention behind it. That every client deserves to feel seen, heard, and fully informed throughout the entire planning process.
“I don't just plan events. I create experiences — for the people in the room and for the people who made it possible.”
