Alyssa and Brian hosted their spring wedding at Ovation.

Meghan & Alex’s spring wedding was modern luxury, paired with festive, laid-back FUN! We know that many of our Chicago weddings are hosted in ballrooms, but that wasn’t for Meghan & Alex.

One of the many things we love about Chicago weddings is that we get to see some of the grandest, most beautiful ballroom weddings. In some of the other markets we work in (Minneapolis, Milwaukee, Denver), ballroom weddings aren’t as opulent. The variety makes us excited, and we spend a good amount of time swooning […]

Elizabeth’s gown was gorgeous- truly a timeless piece. With the cathedral length veil and long lace sleeves, Elizabeth picked accessories […]
