Weddings in Chicago Parks

We have had beautiful weather for the last two weekends in Chicago which has worked well for the couples who chose to be married out doors.

Yasmin and Scott were married at the Grant Park South Rose Garden, which is located just south of Buckingham Fountain, it provided a magnificent backdrop for their ceremony. Yasmin had secured a Chicago Park District permit, hired two security guards, rented chairs for the 100 plus guests and a PA system. Symphony Sounds provided the music and they did a great job. Their site contains detailed information on all of their musicians, musical services, fees and forms to use to book them for a wedding or other event.

Wendy and Eric were married at the Cancer Survivor's Garden in Grant Park, 337 E. Randolph Street. The garden is a very nice venue for weddings, it’s kind of off the beaten track and so it feels private even though it’s in Millennium Park.

Eric and Wendy had worked hard to include Wendy’s daughter Payton in the ceremony and at the end of the ceremony I was pleased to introduce this new family to their guests. Carol Kalvonjian a violinist and leader of Artistrings

Mara and Charles chose Buffalo Park, located at 4501 North California, in Ravenswood Manor for their wedding. It’s a tiny little park in a residential neighborhood but it was a perfect setting for this small wedding. It had been raining earlier in the day and they had set up an umbrella but the sun came out just as we were about to begin their wedding.
