University Club of Chicago was the stunning backdrop for the day and Vale of Enna worked their floral magic by adding beautiful decor accents throughout the space. Artistrings set the tone for the ceremony to begin and Zen Events took the lead as the couple said their touching vows.

After “I Do”, Cathedral Hall was transformed into a party-ready reception space and Okyne Medialab brought the guests through dinner and straight into dancing! There was even an extra sweet dessert bar to top off the night.

University Club of Chicago – Victoria and Mike

March 22, 2022

Victoria and Mike’s gorgeous September wedding was one for the books! Their incredibly caring and fun personalities shone throughout the day and well past the last song of the night. There was never a doubt that the love they have for each other is immense, and Brittany Bekas was able to capture that so perfectly.

Victoria finished getting ready with a little help from her Mother and Maid of Honor, and then it was off to The Library for the first look with Mike.

When the time came for the ceremony to begin, guests sat in University Club of Chicago‘s sun-drenched Cathedral Hall beautifully adorned by Flowers for Dreams. Victoria and Mike shared plenty of laughs as their close friend officiated while family members who weren’t able to attend in person enjoyed the nuptials via live stream set up by Luxe Productions.

To say that Rendezvous got the party started at the reception is an understatement. Even during the speeches the band kept the energy lively and once the dance floor opened it up it was full for the rest of the evening. Victoria and Mike’s family members even joined the band for a song, giving their guitarist and drummer a break, and they knocked it out of the park!

The stunning saturated colors Bonnie’s Flower Shop provided mirrored the joyous emotions of the day. From the archway to the centerpieces, the floral served as a beautiful statement of color throughout the entire space.

As the sun set, toasts were proposed that had everyone laughing. After a few special dances,  Style Matters put the dance floor into full swing with no breaks through the end of the night. Jordan’s Food of Distinction set up a donut wall for guests to enjoy while they danced the night away.
