VENUE: BRIDGEPORT ART CENTER, SCULPTURE GARDEN | PHOTOGRAPHER: JEREMY LAWSON PHOTOGRAPHY | FLORAL, DECOR, + PHOTOBOOTH BACKDROP: REVEL DECOR | ARCADE GAMES: CASTLE PARTY RENTAL | CATERING: TRUE CUISINE | STRINGS: QUARTET PARAPLUIE | CAKE: ALLIANCE BAKERY | BAND: THE BREAKFAST CLUB, XTREME COVER BANDS

Pez dispenser escort cards, a Star Wars cake, commissioned art of their dog Spaghetti, a Simpsons-themed photobooth, arcade games, and that amazing floral ceiling design from Revel? Michelle + Jerry had an incredible vision for their day and we absolutely loved helping them plan it. Unique, sophisticated, and so much fun…this wedding reflected this couple to a T! As an AD for Chicago Med, we were honored that Michelle let us take the reins and had a great time on her day (also, is she not SUCH a goddess?!). These two funny, sweet, down-to-earth people are so in love and we love them, too.

Congratulations, Michelle + Jerry! We know you have a wonderful, goofy, sweet life together.

VENUE: SALVAGE ONE | PHOTOGRAPHER: SOPHIE CAZOTTES | CATERING: HEARTY BOYS | DJ: CAGE + AQUARIUM | FLORIST: FLOWERS FOR DREAMS | BRIDE HAIR: KASSI BLEIFUSS | MAKEUP: JESSICA JENNINGS

What a night. What a couple. What a damn good time. Rush + Allison are two of the most down-to-earth people you’ll ever meet, and we absolutely loved coordinating their day. Allison was an incredibly organized bride and had the coolest ideas for her tablescapes — we loved executing them! The ceremony was so heartfelt and sweet, the parents gave toasts that brought the room to tears, and the dance floor was jumping all night. Through it all, Rush + Allison looked at each other with stars in their eyes. What a perfect night.

Congratulations, ya beauties. Hope Bali was amazing!

VENUE: BRIQUE | CATERER: BOUTIQUE BITES | PHOTOGRAPHER: EMMA MULLINS PHOTOGRAPHY | FLORIST: LEELEE’S GARDEN FLORAL | DJ: TOAST + JAM | DESSERT: DIPSY DESSERTS | HAIR: BROOKE KLAY

What. A. Night. Catherine + Steven are the best nerds around. We knew the day would be epic since Catherine works for Offbeat Bride! She + Steven put together the most incredible evening for their guests. It was an intimate ceremony, very sweetly performed by the Hand of the Queen, their friend Chad. From that to the excellent dinner, to the amazing dance floor, we had a blast working with these two wonderful humans.

Check out all of their nerdy decor! The table names! The figurines and photographs! We had the best time, and wish them a lifetime of cons, movies, comics, and happiness. Congratulations, Catherine + Steven!

Sarah+Dan Wedding-74.jpg

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.
