A cocktail party turned fireworks display, we are endlessly charmed by Elin + David’s NYE bash at Gibsons Italia. Bucktown locals, Elin + David had an intimate church ceremony and cozy dinner at Club Lucky in their neighborhood the night before their wedding bash on the rooftop of Gibsons Italia. When they got to Gibsons in full New Year’s Eve glam they were ready to party!
Brent + Alli’s glitzy wedding at the Rainbo Club brought their music + hospitality industry connections together for gorgeous and intimate event. Closing down the notorious Rainbo Club in Wicker Park for a stylish backyard BBQ followed by an epic dance party, Brent + Alli celebrated their nuptials in a way that was authentically them with glamorous outfit changes, award winning chefs manning the grill, and chic loved ones surrounding the couple with adoration.
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.

Amy and Eugene’s wedding at The James Hotel in Chicago in July was in a word…legendary.
The beautiful bride Amy, wanted an extra pair of hands with her rehearsal and ceremony as well. The on-site coordinator at The James handled the reception, but Amy wanted to make sure the rehearsal wasn’t painful for anyone and that there was someone to oversee the ceremony. When you have a secular ceremony and a judge or friend/family member preforms it, they are not always willing to or have experience with coordinating getting guests seated, cuing musicians, getting the bridal party lined up and down the aisle, etc. and it’s definitely not something the bride should be doing on her own!
The James Hotel has some great places for pictures. Amy and Eugene, in the library, with the…bridal bouquet?
The James did a fantastic job of flipping the space while guests enjoyed cocktail hour.
And they lived happily ever after!
