Anthony and Gina were married on Friday evening in The Native Garden at Independence Grove. It is a pleasant setting for an outdoor wedding if the weather cooperates. A major storm front had moved through the area earlier in the afternoon but it cleared up nicely for the wedding. The reception was held later in Audubon Hall.
It was a large wedding party, eight bridesmaids and seven groomsmen, a ring bearer and two very cute flower girls who had been in four other weddings and were I think more calm about their role than some of the bridesmaids. Premier Events were the DJ’s and were extremely helpful and attentive, a delight to work with.
Independence Grove is a popular venue for weddings. The catering manager told me that they had two weddings on Saturday and two again on Sunday, he was hoping for more good weather because they were all going to be outside. It’s a long drive from downtown Chicago and with highway construction everywhere what should have been an hour drive was more than double that. Even the guests from the suburbs were commenting on the traffic. If you are looking for a pleasant setting for an outdoor wedding, lots of free parking and a good setting for your reception I would encourage you to look into Independence Grove, Call Events at Independence Grove at 847-247-1111 or visit their website.
