Venues that were new to me

Over the past six months I have conducted weddings at four venues that were new to me. I enjoyed all of them for different reasons and would encourage brides and grooms to check them out. All of these venues have wonderfully representative photos of their space.

Kathy and George were married on Valentine’s Day at the River East Art Center, 435 East Illinois Street, 312.321.1001. It’s really quite a stunning venue and their 130 guests nicely filled the area where the wedding took place.

Anthony and Erika were married in the second floor Tasting Room at Randolph Wine Cellars, 1415 West Randolph 312.942.1313. They had about 120 guests, most of whom stood during the 20 minute ceremony. Nick Luedde, director and he and his staff was helpful and attentive to everyone’s needs.

Sharon and Jeff were married on July 9 at Salvatore's Ristorante 525 W Arlington Place, 773.528.1200. Amra Custic was the event coordinator that evening and she was a delight to work with. The room was lovely and just the right size for the 80 guests in attendance.

Mason and Emily were married on August 7 at Gallery 1028, located at 1028 Hooker Street on Goose Island. It’s a very cool venue which is operated by Calihan Catering, 312.587.3553. The space has vaulted ceilings, exposed brick and skylights as well as well work wood floors. A talented florist or designer would be able to create some very creative designs in the room. Nitin Vyas, from Calihan, was in charge last night and we recognized each other from past weddings at the Chicago Botanic Garden where he has concentrated his efforts. Nitin was extremely helpful.
