Congratulations Haley and Tim! We loved helping this super sweet couple plan their perfect wedding at the Glen Club. They had the most beautiful fall weather for an outdoor ceremony and a cocktail reception that overlooked the Glen Club's majestic golf course. They had a delicious meal and a sundae bar that was obviously a huge hit with guests! We know this couple will have a beautiful life together and we wish them nothing but a lifetime of happiness.

VENUE: THE TREASURY | PHOTOGRAPHER: HAYLIE MARIE PHOTOGRAPHY | FLORIST: LILYPOTS | CAKE: JULIE MICHELLE CAKES | HAIR AND MAKEUP: CLEAR WATERS SALON AND SPA

Caryn and Josh got married on a happy, sunny May day at The Treasury in Delavan, Wisconsin. Not only was their wedding breathtakingly beautiful to behold, thanks to sister-of-the-bride Cassandra's event design, it could also be felt. The love in the room was palpable as they said their vows in front of their family and friends. After a quick room flip, The Treasury was transformed into an elegant dining room where guests enjoyed charcuterie, buffet dinner and a scrumptious cake. The dance floor opened with an unforgettable first dance when Caryn and Josh's daughters joined them for the second half of the song, turning their first dance into a heart melting family dance. Congratulations to Caryn and Josh and their entire family. It was a delight to work with and get to know you all!

VENUE: OVATION CHICAGO | PHOTOGRAPHER: JASPER CHUNG PHOTOGRAPHY | FLORALS + DECOR: FLOWERS FOR DREAMS | CATERING: ENTERTAINING COMPANY | HAIR: MAX FRIDAY + SEAN WOODYARD | MAKEUP: PIN ME UP CHICAGO | SUITS: BINDLE + KEEP | DJ: RYAN NORSWORTHY, STYLE MATTERS | SWORDS: IRON WOLF FORGE | TROLLEYS: 312 LIMO

We don’t even have words for these two perfect people. What an incredible time we had with Kate + Gabby. Down-to-earth, hilarious, sweet, and nerdy, these two were so much fun to plan with! Their personalities and love shone throughout the day; from the sword above their ceremony to the DnD figurines and dice on the tables, to the scream-singing to Backstreet Boys for the last song. It was truly an incredible day and we were honored to be a part of it.

K+G, we know you’re going to have a beautiful life together. Cheers to many game nights, good bourbon, and a love that will last forever. We love you!

VENUE: NEWBERRY LIBRARY | CATERING: LULA CAFE | PHOTOGRAPHER: MATT WARREN PHOTOGRAPHY | FLORIST: JULIET TAN FLORAL DESIGN | THE BAND SUNDANCE | CEREMONY MUSIC: PARKWEST STRINGS

These. Two. Kelsey and Matt are two of the kindest, most generous people on the planet. We had such fun getting to know them and watching them walk down the aisle! Kelsey was a meticulous planner and Matt was right there with her—a great team. From the heartfelt reading by their pal Nick to the full dance party later on in the night, the day was full of love and laughter, and just a few happy tears. We wish you two all the love in the world and know you’ll have a long and happy life together!

Congratulations!

Sara and Will got married on a glorious Chicago fall day at the Lincoln Park Conservatory.

Afterwards they feasted on a seven course tasting (and wine pairing!) meal at the ultra-hip Brass Heart Restaurant in Uptown. Their special day was filled with so much love and laughter and we couldn't be happier for this beautiful couple. Congratulations Sara and Will - we wish you a lifetime of happiness!
