Sunday Noon Wedding at Volo Restaurant and Wine Bar

Victoria and Phillip had a small outdoor wedding in the cabana garden patio of Volo Restaurant and Wine Bar. It was a warm sunny spring day in Chicago with trees and flowers blooming and all of us wanting to be outside to enjoy the weather.

Just a week before the wedding, a fire nearly destroyed their home but Phillip and Victoria went ahead with the wedding anyway, Victoria’s father, who was visiting from Texas, brought some good humor to the day when he passed out red plastic fireman’s hats to everyone after the ceremony.

There was no professional photographer but a friend of Phillip’s promised to send me a few of the pictures that he took, I will add them to this blog when they arrive.

The staff at Volo was friendly and helpful and the array of food for the reception looked and smelled amazing. I wish I had been able to stay and join the reception but I hope to return for one of the frequent wine tasting events or maybe one of the special cocktail parties, or cooking events that they list on their website.
