Nestled in the heart of River North, sits an ivy covered building, properly named, The Ivy Room. This is not the first wedding we have blogged at the location, as it is one of our favorite wedding spots. Last fall, Jess and Joel tied the knot at this venue and we could not have been […]

Gena and Sean celebrated their “big day” with a Morgan Manufacturing Wedding this past February. The couple wanted a winter-glam atmosphere, so picture this: guests enter the cocktail hour to find their names on suspended acrylic escort card boards. The names were printed on post-it notes, a personal touch since the couple has a history […]

Unique textures and romantic blooms were the brides wishes for her big day. Deena and Alex were married this past Spring at one of our favorite venues, 19 East. For their wedding, Deena wanted a romantic wedding with a unique twist, so that is exactly what we created. A hint of the unexpected, gave this wedding the perfect […]

The goal in finding your perfect wedding venue, is finding one that already fits your style. By doing this, you are avoiding completely transforming a space unnecessarily, which in turn allows you to allocate more money to other areas. Do you love the outdoors and nature? Do you envision being surrounded by lush plants and greenery? If you answered “yes” to either […]
