With each wedding, we see things the guests and couple might not – here’s what was happening behind the scenes while you were getting married!
Anissa’s mom was instrumental in planning this red-white-and-blue Independence Day celebration. She arrived for a walkthrough carrying her notes, her car full of fun things. We toured the event spaces at the Newberry Library together, catching a peek at the reception hall being set up for that day’s wedding.
Dannalynn + Pablo’s winter wedding at Prairie Production was everything a Chicago loft wedding should be. I absolutely love these two and have been so lucky to get to see them a ton post-wedding day. They went for a chic and glamorous wedding and they knocked it out of the park.
Julia here, taking over the blog to wish Chicago’s best wedding planner, Anticipation Events, a very happy five year anniversary!
Five years ago, my wedding was one of Elizabeth’s first with Anticipation Events. She was caught in several photos, always with a big smile on her face. (Despite my being “one of the craftiest brides [she] has ever met.”) She was amazing then, and has kept that same great attitude even while juggling multiple weddings in a weekend.
Over the last several years, Anticipation Events has grown considerably thanks to the wonderful couples who have made us a part of their weddings. Several coordinators have joined the party, and one already-missed summer intern. We’re a diverse little group, with one big thing in common – we all really really wanted to work with Elizabeth. She’s a fantastic wedding boss and a pretty amazing #girlboss!
Congratulations, Elizabeth! You’ve done an impressive job turning your hard work and unfailing positivity into happiness for so many other people. We think you’re the best, and can’t wait to see what you do with the next five years!
Britta + Ty were married in September 2013 at a private residence in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. Some family friends live on a gorgeous piece of property that seems otherworldly, like you stepped into a magazine. With Britta’s great style (she owns Faithful Roots) a gorgeous setting and a wild and crazy bridal party, this was one of my most memorable weddings from 2013!

Michelle and Todd were married at The Rookery in August 2013. As you can plainly tell from this photo, they had a terrible time. Ha! So much fun and lightheartness with these two made for just a lovely day for everyone. Aislinn, girl wonder and coordinator extraordinaire got Michelle and Todd down the aisle and to the party with ease.
