We just loved Eden and Peter and their sunny May wedding. This sweet couple exchanged their personal vows privately at a beautiful park nearby. There were so many unique touches to their wedding, including Eden’s bridesmaids who looked stunning in their mix of spring-inspired dresses, each perfectly complementing her vibrant bouquet. Before the ceremony, guests sipped drinks and enjoyed the unique view of planes gliding into O’Hare, a fun and memorable backdrop for the festivities. As the night unfolded, the dance floor stayed packed with energy and laughter. To top it all off, guests were treated to a true Chicago favorite for a late-night snack, Portillo’s hot dogs. All in all, it was a night that radiated love for each other and for their loved ones.

We LOVE love and are so happy that we were able to be a part of this special couple's wedding day! On a beautiful and sunny fall day, Bre and Krystle had a touching ceremony on the rooftop of The Standard (what a cool venue!) in downtown Rockford, IL. Afterwards guests mingled on the rooftop while enjoying delectable grazing tables and large yard games. As a nod to Krystle’s heritage, guests enjoyed an unforgettable Filipino dinner prepared by local Rockford restaurant 27 Aluna and the dancefloor was PACKED all night! Congrats again to Bre and Krystle, we know you'll have a happy and beautiful life together!

What a perfect start to our year! We absolutely love when the family of previous clients reach out to us and we could not wait to coordinate Megan’s wedding after her sister Kate’s in 2019. It. Was. A. Blast. M+J are so in love, you guys. It is so sweet to witness. They both wear their hearts on their sleeves and are so effusively emotional. Our favorite way to be.

From the ceremony to the PAR-TAY, these two were connected and together, celebrating with their friends and family with gigantic smiles and sweet words. A truly fantastic day.

Felicidades, you gorgeous kids! Wishing you a long and happy life together!
