AELO Alumni | Becky + Matt, 8/11/23

VENUE: LACUNA ARTIST LOFTS | CATERING: FOOD FOR THOUGHT | DJ: CAGE + AQUARIUM | PHOTOGRAPHER: TWO BIRDS PHOTOGRAPHY

Becky is an NYC theatre gal--and her theatre pals were all too happy to fly in for her and Matthew's wedding. They sang a capella as she walked down the rooftop aisle and the officiant, John, did a phenomenal job presiding over the ceremony with heartfelt humor and flair as Becky and Matthew became husband and wife. After the skyline ceremony, the party moved to Lacuna Loft's impressive Reverie Gallery where a delectable dinner was served followed by a show stoppingly packed dance floor--theatre folk know how to get down! We adored working remotely with Becky and Matthew as they planned their destination wedding from afar. They are the sweetest couple and we wish them all the best! <3

VENUE: PROMONTORY POINT | PHOTOGRAPHER: MELISSA MARIE PHOTOGRAPHY | CATERER: PREMIER CATERING | DJ: STYLE MATTERS | CAKE: SAM’S CLUB | CUPCAKES: MOLLY’S CUPCAKES | HAIR + MAKEUP: PIN ME UP CHICAGO | FLORIST: OH MY FLORAL

What better way to celebrate the official last weekend of summer than to celebrate it at the beautiful Promontory Point? Amy and Mark knew how to throw an amazing party and made sure that everyone in attendance was happy and having fun. The rain stopped just in time for them to start their ceremony and the view of the city from Promontory point was the perfect backdrop for Amy and Mark to say their vows. From there, guests went on to enjoy the signature drink of Aperol Spritz's as they enjoyed the beautiful weather on the patio. Guests were ready to dance and sing the night away after dinner and moved the dance floor to the patio. By the end of the night, Amy had changed into her pajamas and was ready to get down on the dance floor. What a perfect way to end such an amazing day filled with love and laughter. Congratulations, you two!

AELO Alumni | Dani + James, 7/24/22

VENUE: RIVERSIDE RECEPTIONS | PHOTOGRAPHER: SHUTTERWINKS PHOTOGRAPHY | VIDEOGRAPHY: KATIE DOYLE FILMS | DJ + PHOTOBOOTH: MUSIC BY DESIGN | MAKEUP: CYNDE COSMETICS | HAIR: KAEDI LEAMON

Under a Chuppah that was lovingly handmade by the groom and decorated with gorgeous orange and red blooms by the groom's sister, Dani and James signed their Ketubah then shared their wedding vows. Dani's uncle officiated the ceremony. One hundred of their closest friends and family were there to witness the special occasion which was followed by an evening of dancing, drinks and dinner in a second floor ballroom with floor to ceiling windows overlooking the Fox River. Incredibly, Dani and James planned their wedding in just a few months and AELO was there to make sure that everything went off without a hitch. They're both incredibly kind, fun, and detail oriented people. It was so nice to work with them and we wish them well in their new lives as husband and wife!
