CEREMONY: ROCKEFELLER CHAPEL | RECEPTION: QUADRANGLE CLUB | PHOTOGRAPHER: JUSTIN MCCALLUM PHOTOGRAPHY | DJ: FOURTH ESTATE AUDIO | CHUPPAH: CHICAGOLAND CHUPPAH

Dan and Sarah's wedding day was nothing short of perfection. These two University of Chicago alum had a beautiful day back in the place where they met and fell in love. The intricate architecture of the Rockefeller Chapel was a perfect backdrop for the bride and groom as they stood under an elegant, natural chuppah. The ceremony was officiated by two of their closest friends which made the ceremony even more intimate and special. After the beautiful ceremony guests gathered at the Quadrangle Club for dinner and dancing. The dance floor was filled all night long as Sarah and Dan danced with all of their family and friends. The day was a great start to their new lives as husband and wife! Best wishes to the happy couple.

AELO Alumni | Anne + Nate, 11/2/18

Morning rain didn’t stop Anne and Nate from having the best day ever with their family and friends and we had a great time with all of them. The day started with photos around the loop, followed by a gorgeous formal wedding ceremony at St. Michael’s Church. Then we traveled to Lacuna Lofts were a stunningly stylish reception awaited guests. You could distinctly feel the love and affection felt for Anne and Nate radiating in the room. It was a dream. This was one of our last events of 2018 and it was so nice to draw it to a close with such lovely people in an awesome place. Congratulations!

AELO Alumni | Meghan + Daniel, 9/22/18

What to even say about these two cuties! We absolutely loved working with Meghan + Daniel. They are super sweet and kind, had a great vision, and Meghan had so many lists, it made our job so easy! We loved the simple elegance of their day, and we loved that they chowed down on Five Guys after their ceremony. From the venue, to the food, to the band, it was a excellently planned day filled with so much love and laughter.

Congratulations, Meghan + Danny! We know you’ll have a beautiful life (and get a beautiful dog!) together!

AELO Alumni | Suchi + Senthil, 9/2/18

What an incredible wedding! What an incredible couple! The brand new gorgeous Rockwell on the River provided the backdrop for Suchi + Senthil's beautiful ceremony and reception, and we had the best time with their families. The baraat was super fun, the ceremony was beautiful, the food from Kama Bistro was outstanding, and that dance floor did not stop! We had a wonderful time getting to know Suchi + Senthil, and had a blast coordinating their wedding.

Congratulations, you two beauties! We know you'll spend many happy years together!

AELO Alumni | Sandra + Dan, 8/24/18

What a beautiful time we had with Sandra + Dan. These two tied the knot earlier this year in the Cayman Islands and had an incredible reception in August. We had a wonderful time taking Sandra's vision and bringing it to life with a team of incredible vendors! Everything came together beautifully for a classy evening during which they danced to The Modern Sounds, with a special guest, incredible blues vocalist Oscar Wilson, and everyone went away with meringues from Sugar Fixe, with custom artwork by Dan's brother.

It was an evening that truly reflected a wonderful couple, and we'll miss them! Congratulations, newlyweds!
