AELO Alumni | Freddie + Vincent, 6/13/26

An extremely stylish summer wedding on the west side of Chicago at an art studio. The grooms wore custom suits; the jewelry and bow ties were made by groom Freddie Collier of Freddie Collier studios. Coordinated by the experienced planners and coordiantors at An Event Less Ordinary (AELO), a Chicago wedding and event planning company for 17 years.

VENUE: IGNITE GLASS STUDIOS | PHOTOGRAPHER: KAYLA RAE PHOTOGRAPHY | DECOR: SANIMAR STUDIO | CAKE + SWEETS: GOOD AMBLER BAKERY | MUSIC: IVORY STEPHENSON | MAGICIAN: PAIGE THOMPSON | DJ: DJ MARTIN | PHOTO BOOTH: XOXO PHOTOBOX

What a beautiful day with two beautiful people. Freddie + Vincent knew exactly what they wanted from their wedding day and they got it. Freddie had incredible vision and SaniMar delivered! From sweet vows to the magic show (so cute!) to a rockin’ dance floor, these two lovebirds showed how community is family and love is all that matters.

Congratulations, Freddie + Vincent! We love you!

AELO Alumni | Becca + Nina, 11/15/25

The cutest wedding with the most FUN group of folks! And somehow the perfect weather for an outdoor cocktail hour - in November. From matching tuxes and doc loafers, the adorable ceremony with live music (from one of the marriers!), to a flower crown for the pup, I had the best time coordinating & being a part of Becca + Nina's wedding. Thanks for letting me end the night in the middle of the dance circle scream singing Pink Pony Club, it's where I belong ;)
