Harold Washington Library Wedding — Kate and Zach
Kate and Zach celebrated their nuptials in the heart of Chicago at the historic Harold Washington Library Winter Garden. We were so grateful to be a part of bringing their vision to life on this spectacular spring day in May. Kate and Zach, though currently living in Madison, knew they wanted to honor their love […]
Lincolnshire Marriott — Lake County Partners — The Big Event 2023
I am thrilled to be sharing some highlights from Lake County Partners’ annual Big Event held last spring at Lincolnshire Marriott. The Big Event is always a hot ticket for northern Chicagoland, bringing together nearly five hundred professionals from across Lake County. We come back to the venue year after year both because of its […]
Rockwell on the River Wedding–Alex and Dalton
I met Dalton and Alex (or AJ as she’s affectionately known, her nickname coined by Dalton) as they were in the early stages of wedding planning. They had the venue (one of our favorites, Rockwell on the River) and some fun ideas of the vibe…but not much else. Alex, who dealt with event planning in her […]
E & R – Twin Orchard Country Club
Cafe La Cave Wedding – Caitlin and Matt
For Caitlin and Matt, the celebration of their marriage was long overdue. Caitlin and Matt officially were married in November of 2020 at St. Alphonsus Catholic Church and like many couples had to put their celebration on hold. They had waited countless days to celebrate with loved ones and the time had finally come! […]
Butterfield Country Club Wedding–Meg and Sanjay
From my first chat with Meg’s mom, Maureen, I knew this was going to be a blast of a wedding. There was so much joy in her voice as she described plans for her daughter, Meg, and her soon-to-be son-in-law, Sanjay’s Labor Day Weekend celebration! When the big day arrived it was just as fun […]
Artifact Events–Melissa and Slater
One of the very few silver linings to rescheduled weddings are those few who were lucky enough to get married last year and then celebrate with their friends and family again the way the originally planned. Melissa and Slater were one of these lucky couples. Having already been wed almost a year ago to the […]
Chicago Illuminating Company – Allison and Leo
It was such a joy working with Allison and Leo back in May for their gorgeous wedding and reception. They were troopers throughout the tense months leading up to their wedding with many unknowns about allowable guest counts and other gathering restrictions. It was truly a thrill that we were able to see this wedding […]
City View Loft – Hilary and Jeremy
Hilary and Jeremy were such a joy to work with. Jeremy initially reached out since he an Joan had gone to high school together to discuss a December 2020 wedding (which obviously didn’t go exactly as planned). When they finally tied the knot this spring, they were so ready to celebrate amongst their family and […]
Harry Caray’s Wedding–Lisa and Michael
While things may not have looked like the wedding they imagined back when we started working with Lisa & Michael and their parents, the celebration that took place this past March was nothing short of delightful. The love that surrounded this happy couple and their families was evident in every detail. Lisa’s mother, in particular, […]
A Surprise (and Socially-Distant) 50th Anniversary Celebration
For the past several years, we have had the honor of working with Jim and Linda on their company’s annual Senior Leadership Holiday Dinner, and were ecstatic when they asked us to help their daughters organize their 50th Anniversary party (originally scheduled to take place in June at Chicago Botanic Garden). Unfortunately, things didn’t quite […]
The Fairlie Event– PaperSpecs Road Show
When Sabine Lenz of PaperSpecs reached out to us with a fresh idea she wanted to try to bring to life, we were thrilled to jump on board! She has an incredible amount of energy and creativity, and her events always bring an element of fun. For this event, she was working with a national planning […]
