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.

Could there be two more perfect people? Hannah + Shannon are so impressive, brilliant, and unbelievably gracious and kind.

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!

What an incredible night. Brooke + Mac are so in love, and we loved being a part of celebrating it. When the bride and groom surprise each other with the same vow: “I promise to point out every dog I see” you know it’s meant to be. The emotional ceremony was followed by a rockin’ party where the bride and groom opened the dance floor with a karaoke song. Before that, the Best Man and his wife—our former clients Amanda and Chris!!—brought the room to tears with a sweet slideshow of Brooke and Mac’s life together.

It was the best night ever. Congratulations to two of the sweetest. We know your life together is going to be beautiful.
