It all begins with a single vision: Yours. Our goal is to turn your vision into a flawless reality, from start to finish. Imagine your special event in the award-winning space of Floating World Gallery. Surrounded by classic and contemporary Japanese art located in the Lincoln Park neighborhood of Chicago, this venue is perfect for a unique and modern wedding. Your guests can look through the main gallery while also walking through a garden passageway during your cocktail hour. The main space is the Glass Brick Room, which can be fully customized to accommodate either a ceremony or grand reception.

When it comes to Chicago weddings, Floating World Gallery is a hidden gem. Before we found Floating World, we were having a lackluster experience finding the right vendors for our wedding. However, that all changed as soon as we met Allen and Nicholette. They were always transparent and happy to guide us whenever we had questions. The wedding was beyond anything we could have expected. We highly recommend Floating World Gallery for your big day.

We had our wedding (ceremony & reception) in the Burnham Ballroom at the JW Marriott and were beyond impressed with every aspect of our experience. The team was a pleasure to work with and met every request with a smile. Our guests were blown away by the grandeur of the room and how the Marriott team was able to transform the space between the ceremony & reception (special thank you to the Encore team for making the room beautiful with ceiling lighting!). Chrissy was our event manager and was always available to answer any questions we had leading up to the event, and during the festivities as well. Our guests continue to rave about the food, and how quick the waiter service was - they really helped keep the event on track! On top of all of that, the hotel rooms were stunning, and the JW team accommodated our need for a bigger bridal suite. We can’t thank everyone enough for making our day so special.

Colvin House

5.0

Chicago, IL
  • Venue
  • Up to 125 guests
  • All-inclusive
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $18,000

Colvin House is an extraordinary wedding venue featuring an inviting glamorous interior, large outdoor reception areas, beautiful gardens, beach access & unforgettable views of Lake Michigan. Designed in 1909 by visionary Prairie School architect, George W Maher, the mansion is a historic landmark and was a private residence before its current life as an events venue & coworking space. We pride ourselves on fostering inclusivity & we strive to reduce wedding waste by having almost everything needed onsite while also allowing couples vendor flexibility. Previous residents added details reflecting the styles of grand movie theaters and the glamorous neoclassical revival flair of the 1920’s and 1930’s, giving the house a relaxed but unified mix of architectural styles. From the majestic crystal chandelier escorting you down the grand staircase to the marble fireplaces, we invite you to imagine the house is yours for the day as you invite family and friends in to celebrate your union.

We were drawn to Colvin House because of the mansion's historic details, but believe it truly shines when paired with the talents of Pyrite Sun, their in-house planning, catering, rentals, and floral team. We met with Sarah (Colvin's Events Manager/Owner of Pyrite Sun) to tour the space and ended up hiring Pyrite Sun for our entire wedding at Colvin House. Not only was it convenient to have everything under one roof, but we had a personalized wedding experience like no other–complete with vintage furniture, plates, and coupes, the most incredible floral from Colvin's gardens, and a customized food menu that our guests still rave about. I also love that Sarah recommends great vendors they've worked with and happily coordinates whatever you need with any other vendors you'd like to hire, as well. Overall, an incredibly special experience you won't find anywhere else. Thank you, Colvin House and Pyrite Sun, for making our vintage glamour wedding dreams come true!

Avec West Loop

Chicago, IL
  • Venue
  • Up to 40 guests
  • All-inclusive
  • Indoor
  • Starts at $1,500

Avec West Loop's entire second floor is a dedicated private dining venue. This space draws from the warm, intimate design of avec’s main dining room with lots of wood, stoned wall paper and natural light. It’s the perfect location for a private, intimate gathering. The space features an open kitchen and private bar where cocktails and hors d'oeuvres may be served prior to groups being seated. We can accommodate 40 guests for a seated event and 60 guests for a reception style event.

I used AVEC for my daughter pre-wedding event for the family and close friends of the bride and husband. The staff at AVEC really made it a life time memorable experience to last for everyone. As for the reception, the appetizers/ hors-d’oeuvre was excellent. The open bar and the wine selection made a difference for those who attended. For the friends of my daughters, AVEC was one of the restaurant that they envied to dine at and the second floor atmosphere made it a unique experience. As for the sit down dinner for the family, it become a highlight for both family history. The wine selection for dinner was memorable and was an experience which cannot be replicated. The food was excellent and the how the family style serving provided an atmosphere for everyone closer and to become “one family”. In my mind , this was one of the top experience I have had including my time as working and living as a top executive in the Chicago area in the past 20 years. I have organized and attended dinner events for business but this experience at AVEC was the one I enjoyed the most and is ranked as my number one. I have to say that all dining experience, the staff at AVEC served us and others with a kind, friendly, and proactive way which led making the whole dining experience one that can not match by other restaurants in Chicago or anywhere around the world. As a Japanese we are used to high quality personalized services but AVEC in the West Loop is in our mind belongs in the top league worldwide. I recommend AVEC with the highest level and without any hesitation if you are seeking a life time experience to be remembered for generations.

Formerly a 1920’s speakeasy bar, The Skyline Club is a private rooftop venue at the historic Old Republic Building on Michigan Avenue. Originally, a pub in the Sussex region of southern England, the Skyline Club was dismantled, shipped to Chicago, and reassembled on what was then the Bell Building. Guests can now experience the elegant charm of this historic penthouse, along with the gorgeous view of Michigan Ave from our breathtaking outside terrace. Host an unforgettable event in our main dining room, outside terrace, private dining room, and historic library.

We had our wedding and reception at the Sky-Line Club. It was a truly magical day for us and our guests. I can't begin to thank the staff at the Sky-Line Club for all they did for us throughout the entire day. The wedding was on the outdoor terrace with breathtaking views of the city. The menu that they helped create was absolutely delicious. Our guests kept going back to all of the food stations, making sure they had sampled every item on the menu. The staff made all of our guest feel at home, even though the majority were from out of town. Being able to go out on the terrace during the evening reception allowed our guests to experience the beautiful Chicago skyline and get some air in between dances. I would highly recommend the Sky-Line Club.

We paired our talents in 2020 to expand May May's burgeoning cake business and bring Coco & Eve to a wider audience.

My fiancé, now husband, worked with Charlene and May May to design our wedding cake this past January. We couldn't be more pleased! Communication was a breeze, and our ideas, along with Coco & Eve's suggestions resulted in an absolutely stunning cake! Charlene suggested some design ideas to compliment our Sophisticated Disney theme while also using a custom monogram we designed. The best part was finally getting to eat the cake! We chose two flavors for our cake; bottom & top tiers (anniversary tier) were a Vanilla cake, layer of Biscoff cookie butter, with Biscoff buttercream and the middle tier was Ube cake, Ube mousse, and Ube buttercream. We would highly recommend Coco & Eve Custom Cakes! Thank you for making our special day that much more special, and tasty!

Welcome to Molly's Cupcakes! Ms. Molly was my third-grade teacher. Whenever my classmates or I had a birthday, she would bake us cupcakes.

Every time you eat a cupcake or sip a latte, you help our kids. So eat up!

Park Hyatt Chicago

5.0

Chicago, IL
  • Venue
  • Up to 180 guests
  • Select services
  • Indoor & outdoor

Host a romantic celebration in intimate, award-winning wedding venues located perfectly in downtown Chicago. Enhanced by expertly crafted catering and with the support of dedicated specialists, weddings at Park Hyatt Chicago are luxurious and timeless occasions.

I will always remember Park Hyatt so fondly because they truly gave us our Best Day Ever :) My initial experience was Park Hyatt was a little bit bittersweet due to being handed over through multiple coordinators without any good real communication on who to reach out to (a lot of very sudden turn over occurred throughout our long planning period). That was difficult to deal with because it was re-inventing the wheel multiple times and a lot of re-communicating things that had already been discussed. However, once Vanessa stepped into the picture in Sept 2022, I immediately felt SO much relief. She was so sweet, so organized, such a great communicator, and really did everything she could to make our day the best day ever - and she and her team absolutely delivered. I will sincerely miss getting to interact with her, because she was just that awesome!!! Park Hyatt as a whole did a great job, too. For the sake of transparency, I will say the billing department was a little difficult to get through to at one time made some kind of odd billing mistakes that seemed to stem from lack of communication. It was kind of hard to tell because I was getting the information second hand rather than talking to the billing person directly. That was really the only thing that I'd say was difficult to deal with. But I could always, ALWAYS rely on Vanessa to take care of the issue and in a punctual time period. And prices were great per person for an elevated Chicago wedding experience. Another nice thing is they bundled everything together (food/bev/service/taxes) into one per person price, so you know exactly what you're getting. I can't recommend Vanessa and her team highly enough. I'd relive it all over again if I could!

The Field works with the most remarkable vendors in the city and every minute detail is considered and covered. The museum has been a special place for my husband and I.

Chicago, IL
  • Beauty professional

Erin Graham is a freelance hairstylist, educator, and consultant based in Chicago and working everywhere. The daughter of two 9-5 weekend warriors, no one really knows where Erin gets all of her creativity from. She got her start at a young age taking art classes, continuing to take classes in high school, moving on to college for a BFA in painting when after a few years she (funny story) discovered cosmetology school in 2007. Erin specializes in luxury en-suite + on-location hair services.

Erin immediately made me feel comfortable from the first email to the final touches on my hair. She was receptive of initial ideas and feedback along the way, explained why some styles would or wouldn't work with my hair, and then talked me through her decisions during my trial. She made everyone smile, laugh, and love their hair. I recommend her though and through!

  • Starts at $225

I am a Chicago, Illinois mobile makeup artist specializing in soft glam, high glam, prom, photoshoots and bridal wedding makeup since 2014. I am very passionate about makeup artistry and uplifting people through the power of makeup. I aim to maintain a standard of excellence with my clients when it comes to proper makeup application, customer service, communication and knowledge about makeup & skincare.

Charisse K was professional from beginning to end. It was easy to setup my makeup appointment for my wedding online. It was a two part appointment, one to test my wedding day makeup and the second was on the day of my wedding. At the first test appointment we discussed my look and colors and she was GREAT! I requested one change to my eye makeup and she delivered! On the day of my wedding she arrived early and set up with her chair, makeup and lights. She was efficient and pleasant to work with. She did my sisters makeup first and then mine all while working around my photographer who came to take photos. I have continued to use Charisse K for future events when I needed my makeup professionally done. I have recommended her to others and will continue to do so. If you want to ensure your makeup is done right, book with Charisse and you can relax knowing it will be done.

The salon in the west loop is a great spot; from my trial to my wedding day, everything was perfect! My artist Sarah was absolutely incredible. I felt like an absolute goddess on my special day, and I didn’t touch up my makeup one single time, because it was just so perfect! My hair, normally thin, was absolutely transformed. I cannot say enough about how great both Sarah and Lo were. Hire them! :)

The Hideout is a 100-year-old balloon-frame house, built in two days, still here a century later. Hammers pounding in nails faster than the city could tear it down. Built by workers at the end of the 19th Century, run by undocumented bootleggers and gin runners, running numbers, racing horses, making deals, and moving in the make.

The Hideout made our wedding incredibly special and their organization put us at ease during typical wedding stress. The staff is top notch and I cannot imagine having such a great day anywhere else. Definitely perfect place to bring in live music and your own food. Looking forward to returning for shows and events!

RLM Events & Design

Chicago, IL
  • Florist

Who is RLM? RLM noun \relm\ : 1. a royal domain; a kingdom 2. the space or domain where something prevails. RLM is not an acronym. It is a streamlined presentation of the concept that working with us opens a realm of possibilities. RLM Events & Design was founded by a team of three women with expertise in fine dining, hospitality, consulting, and leadership development. RLM was born from our realization that to be truly excellent at bringing the vision for an event to life, the creative capability must blend seamlessly with polished execution.

Jennifer was able to take all my disparate inspiration images and bring them together into a beautifully crafted and cohesive floral arrangement that perfectly captured the ideas I had in my head. She was so terrific to work with and so intuitive!

With the strong support of my family and friends, I have been able to turn this hobby into my own little business from my own home. With their continued support and my own strong efforts, I have high hopes to turn this into a full time business and hopefully a storefront.
