Trish and Stephen's Awesome Allerton Wedding

A couple years ago Trish and Stephen met on a train platform. Stephen, who is from Ireland, asked Trish for help navigating the Chicago Transit System and from there a romance began that would take her across the Atlantic to live with him in Ireland. After Stephen proposed they began planning a wedding in Chicago that they knew would be a treat for their friends and family from both the US and Ireland. After a beautiful mass at Old St Pats the snow started gently falling providing a great backdrop for a photo tour that included The Chicago Brown Line platform, The Wrigley Building and The Kinzie St Bridge. We wrapped things up and it was back to the Allerton for a wonderful celebration including hilarious toasts and manic dancing. Trish and Stephen are back in Ireland now and we're so thrilled that we got a chance to be a part of their wedding that we threatened to crash on their couch if we get to make it over the pond anytime soon! 

Ashley & Paul's Chicago History Museum Wedding

Ashley and Paul tied the knot at one of our all time favorite venues: The Chicago History Museum. After getting ready at the Public Hotel, Ashley and Paul saw each other for the first time in front of the historic Greystones of the Gold Coast before it was off for photos! Ashley wanted to carry the theme of the 1893 Worlds Fair through the whole wedding, so we kept our eyes peeled for opportunities and found a couple awesome ones - see if you can spot them in this post! After a touching ceremony it was time to party and party everyone did thanks to tasty treats and drinks from Blue Plate and awesome music thanks to Max from StyleMatters. Take a look at some of our favorites! 

CJ and Matt's Classic Cultural Center Wedding

CJ and Matt had the perfect Classic Chicago combo! After they saw each other for a first look at the Renaissance Hotel on Michigan Ave, we went around town for photos. Then it was off to Old St. Pat's for a beautiful wedding followed by an excellent party at the Chicago Cultural Center. What a perfect day! 

Sherra & Eddie's Wonderful Waldorf Wedding

Eddie and Sherra live in Little Rock, but one of the things they bonded over in the courting stage of their relationship was a deep love for the Windy City (who could blame them?). They knew when they got engaged they HAD to have their wedding here. With help from Chrissy Magliano at Big City Bride, they planned the wedding of their dreams in one of their favorite cities in the world. After a beautiful ceremony at the classic 4th Presbyterian Church on Michigan Ave it was back to the reception for cocktails, dancing and FUN. Everything came together for an EXCELLENT party featuring decor by Kehoe and tunes from the fabulous MC Lyte. These guys definitely got a wedding the exceeded their wildest expectations!
