Tyressa Henderson’s life is a vibrant tapestry woven with creativity, dedication, and love. Born and raised in Chicago, IL, Tyressa grew up as the only girl among five brothers, in a household filled with warmth, laughter, and the steady guidance of both her parents. This strong foundation taught her the value of family, resilience, and hard work—qualities that have shaped her into the dynamic woman she is today.

Now living in Gary, IN, Tyressa wears many hats with grace: she’s a devoted wife, mother of six, and proud grandmother of one. Family is the heart of everything she does, inspiring her to create meaningful, joyful experiences for others in her career as an Event Planner and Business Owner. Tyressa is the force behind Events Done Well Chicago, a thriving event planning and design company known for turning dreams into reality. Whether it’s a wedding, corporate gala, or private celebration, Tyressa has a gift for transforming moments into unforgettable memories.

Her passion for creativity doesn’t stop with event planning. Tyressa has also explored the performing arts, gracing the stage in Broadway-style productions with Theater47 under the direction of John Ruffin. As an actress, dancer, and behind-the-scenes contributor, she’s brought stories to life while honing her ability to engage and inspire audiences—a skill she carries into her event work.

Over the years, Tyressa’s journey has been marked by a relentless drive to grow and learn. With two associate degrees—one in Business Management and another in Medical Assistance—she’s combined her knack for organization and her compassionate nature to excel in every role she’s taken on, from medical billing to leadership in healthcare settings. Her certifications as a Wedding and Event Planner, coupled with her deep knowledge of hospitality, have cemented her reputation as a leader in the industry.

Beyond her professional achievements, Tyressa’s life is centered on connection. She thrives on the joy of bringing people together and creating spaces where love, laughter, and celebration can flourish. Whether she’s planning a client’s dream wedding, performing on stage, or spending time with her children and grandchild, Tyressa lives each day with intention and heart.

From the bustling streets of Chicago to the spotlight of the stage and the elegance of event venues, Tyressa’s story is one of passion, purpose, and an unshakable belief in the power of creating moments that matter.
