There was no shortage of smiles on Elizabeth and Ryan’s wedding day! 

With sun pouring through the windows, wedding day began with hair and makeup appointments by Magnificent Brides. Everyone enjoyed their time preparing for the day, buzzing with excitement, while Wes Craft Photography and With Love Productions captured the sweetest moments.

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.

It was clear throughout the day that everyone was eager to celebrate this happy couple. Elizabeth and Ryan, your wedding was a gorgeous day filled with great people and plenty of love. We were honored to be a part of it!

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.

The day began with hair styling by Three One Two Bridal and makeup by Shannon O’Brien, while Brittany Bekas Photography and Sean Pierce gathered some gorgeous detail shots.

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!

Victoria and Mike, being a part of your wedding was so much fun and we love having the chance to work with such wonderful people. Weddings like this remind us that we have the best jobs in the world! Congratulations to you both!

Meredith and Alex’s day was filled with so much love and laughter it was difficult to stop smiling afterwards! 

The morning started out at the Thompson Chicago with makeup and hair by Nika Vaughan. Meredith was surrounded by close friends and family, filling the morning with excitement for the day ahead. It’s always wonderful to see everyone enjoying themselves, and Allison Williams Photography captured the energy that continued throughout the day.

Alex and Meredith were all smiles for their first look and it was a gorgeous day for outdoor photographs.

Then, everyone gathered in the courtyard at Artifact Events to celebrate the couple–this day was a long time coming and the anticipation was palpable.

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.

Meredith and Alex, we loved being a part of your celebration and we wish you a lifetime of laughter and love.
