Galeria Marchetti

Emily and Ben were married on Sunday, July, 6^th at, Galleria Marchetti located at 825 West Erie Street, Chicago. Galeria Marchetti was founded by the late Joe Marchetti of Como Inn fame. It was located nearby but closed a few years ago. Joe's wife, Mary Jane, and their only son, JP, now operate the Galleria.

The wedding itself took place in The East Courtyard where Ben and Emily’s 150 guests waited for them to arrive in a vintage convertible. Emily’s mother Betty and Ben’s father Ghansham stood up with them. It was a warm and sunny day so as soon as the wedding was over we all moved to the shade. The music was provided by Joe Marino and Lugig Lenzi, who call themselves the, “Complete Italian—American Experience!” Joe plays the accordion and Lugig sings, with great passion I might add.

The dinner reception was held in The Pavillion which is actually a huge tent that is very stylish and quite beautiful. I’ve conducted several weddings at Galleria Marchetti and each time the Pavillion looks entirely different.

I think the people at Galleria Marchetti do a nice job; you can contact them at 312 563-0495 for more information.
