Aris and Leslie danced the night away with family and friends after their beautiful ceremony and reception at Cafe Brauer. They did not let the brisk weather stop them from enjoying an outdoor ceremony located on the South Loggia followed by a cocktail hour on the North Loggia. Dinner followed with speeches, toasts and kisses. Once dancing kicked off, the guests were provided with costumes and continued to dance the night away. Congratulations Leslie and Aris!

CEREMONY: BOND CHAPEL | RECEPTION: QUARTINO’S | FLORIST: POPPY | PHOTOGRAPHY: BETH ROONEY

University of Chicago alums Tova and Ronan returned to their beloved alma mater to say their wedding vows in the place where they met and fell in love. The late April weather was cool and rainy which made for a deliciously moody aesthetic in the gothic Bond Chapel. After the ceremony, guests enjoyed a small champagne reception where they drank and danced the Hora. A short shuttle ride then brought guests to the classic Chicago restaurant, Quartino's for dinner a dancing.

Literally two of the most perfect humans on the planet. We had such a good time with these two genuine, kind-hearted, organized people. We loved every minute of their day, from the sweetest first look, to the gorgeous ceremony, to the dance floor that was boppin’ all night. We just know these two are going to have the best lives together. They are surrounded by wonderful people, and they couldn’t be more wonderful themselves. One for the record books.

Congratulations, Courtney + Matt! We love you!

CEREMONY: ALICE MILLAR CHAPEL | RECEPTION: WOMEN’S CLUB OF EVANSTON | PHOTOGRAPHY: THIS IS FEELING | CATERER: FROGGY’S | BAND: STITELY ENTERTAINMENT | FLORALS: LINDA LAAKE DESIGNS

What happens when two singers fall in love and get married? A day filled with music! Katherine and Richie are so accomplished, kind, and fun. They delighted their guests with a song during the ceremony and hopped in with the band later in the evening and we loved every second. These two wanted a laid back party, and it was a delight to help them plan it. The Women’s Club of Evanston was a perfect setting as they enjoyed an intimate dinner and jazz standards from Stitely.

Congratulations, you two! We know you’ll have a wonderful, music-filled life together!
