All the tables and chairs were different and there was vintage china and an awesome band that played the ceremony, reception and even played as they left (also a DJ)!

We had a lovely time and Chicago is definitely on my list of cities I could possibly live in besides Dallas- but I haven’t been there in the winter so who knows if I could survive 🙂
