Ok, I will start with the normal disclaimer that I am not a professional photographer but I hope the photo above will, if you have never been to Pazzo's located at 311 South Wacker Drive, give you an idea of the space with its very high ceilings, fountain at the front, palm trees and the sense that Pazzo's is a stunning venue for weddings. Fay Sweeney, the catering director was great to work with and attended and helped at both the rehearsal and the wedding itself. Fay can be reached at 312 913 6096 or ppazzos311@aol.com.
Deanna from Deanna Mandarno was shooting the photos. I just received a link to the slide show Deanna has prepared, check it out there are many wonderful shots.

Linda and Michael were married yesterday at the Chicago Mart Plaza, which is a Holiday Inn located across the street from the Merchandise Mart. If you are looking for a venue with an outstanding view, recently remodeled room and a catering department that is outstanding, don't rule out the Chicago Mart Plaza simply because it's a Holiday Inn.
The actual room is on the 15th floor and looks south along the Chicago River and Wacker Drive. Check out their website for some very accurate photos of the room. After sunset the view is as good as any I've seen in Chicago. Take my word for it, this is one very nice place. Barbara Martin is the director of catering sales and she does an excellent job for her clients. You can reach Barbara at 312 529 1124 or bmartin@martplaza.com.
I haven't seen the photos from yesterday but the photographers were from Timothy Whaley & Associates and I've worked with them in the past and seen their photos. They too are very good.
David Adams from Chicago Style DJ's provided most of the music for the wedding. They apparently don't have a webpage but you can reach them at 847 366-0656 or chicagostyledjs@sbcglobal.net
Yesterday I conducted two weddings in Old Town, walking distance from my home.
Fran and Quincy were married at the Hansen House Mansion, a bed and breakfast they own. They had gone to grade school together but not seen each other for many years. Last year they met at a reunion in New York and now they are married. Their 35 guests were a combination of family and friends from all over the US, many of them friends since grade school. The Hansen House would be a very nice venue for small weddings and out of town guests could stay right at the house. You can contact Fran or Quincy at HansenMansion@aol.com
Georgia and Frank were married at New Leaf, 1818 North Wells Street. This is a popular venue and works well for smaller weddings. New Leaf has three different levels and no elevator so if you have elderly or disabled persons participating or attending there are lots of stairs to deal with. It is however a very attractive setting.
