Joe's on Weed Street


Carol and David got married last Sunday at Joe’s on Weed Street in Chicago. I talked to Katelyn Lobascio, the special events manager after the ceremony and she said they have had three or four weddings at Joe's but this was the first wedding that she had been involved in. It seemed like the perfect venue for David and Carol and I think the 150 or so friends and family that were there enjoyed it as well.

The ceremony itself was fairly traditional and included a reading by Carol’s daughter, her maid of honor and David’s son, the best man. David wore a tux and Carol a white wedding dress. The rest of the wedding party was dressed casually, with the men in matching Hawaiian shirts.

Music was provided by David and Carol’s favorite band,
Mr Blotto. Apparently the band is well know in Chicago and has a devoted following and David was afraid that their fans would crash the wedding so all the guests had to be checked off of the guest list prepared by David and Carol.

I think that couples looking for a informal setting for a wedding would be well served at Joe’s. They also have an outside patio that would be great for weddings. Unfortunately the weather didn’t cooperate last Sunday so plans were changed and we moved inside.

You can contact Katelyn at partyjoes@comcast.net or at 312 337-8818.
