Hi Honni Harris -- There are several openings for event planners in the Chicago area so continue to apply and pursue your dreams! Be sure to include your volunteer work on your resume -- and ask if those you've volunteered for will serve as references. To use Jobcase's search feature, go to the top of the page and click on Jobs & Companies. All the best to you!
I think going freelance for this could be hard, but it could be equally hard to get hired with no experience.
You say you have gifts in this - have you planned events before? I think getting some metrics (how many guests, location, price ranges, etc) and some testimonials about the events you through could help your case in an interview or if you went for a freelance event organizer.
As Lois said, updated your resume with that volunteer experience, and best of luck. You can do this!
