I absolutely loved having my wedding here! It truly helped take our wedding to the next level. A truly unique and elegant venue with beautiful architectural touches that even impressed my husband's male friends (think 25-30 year old men). We are still getting compliments a full month after the wedding that this was the best wedding people have ever been to!

While I was happy with what was provided, I feel if I had shopped around a bit more I may have gotten some more bang for my buck, but you are paying for the experience in the industry with them and that is definitely something that helped put my mind at ease. Only complaints were that it seemed as though there were not as many appetizers served as we had ordered and the salads were underdressed (they were pre-set so this may have been the cause). Good food, just pricier in the end, than what we could have gotten from some of the smaller caterers.

I cannot say enough great things about Peter! He was the one vendor that my husband knew right after meeting that we had to have. He has a charming personality and got along with everyone. He made great suggestions for photos, knowing we wanted less of the posed look and made sure to get everything I wanted. He was a great sport on our 3 ½ hour trek through Chicago prior to the ceremony and even added on a last minute stop of his own for some extra photos when we realized we had time to spare. Both of our mothers adored him, as did our guests which allowed him to get some great candid shots. He even got us all of our photos within two weeks of the wedding! I cannot recommend him enough.

Grace was a fantastic find who helped me stretch my decor budget to truly make an impact. I am not one of those people who was going to spend thousands of dollars on flowers, I mean come on, they die, but I did want them to be beautiful and Grace accomplished that for me. She listened to what I wanted and turned my vision into a reality, she even upped the size of my low centerpieces at no additional charge when she felt they were too small for the table! The bouquets were gorgeous and the colors were spot on to what I wanted. Tons of compliments and talks of copying our beautiful centerpieces by many guests.

We chose MDM based on great reviews I found online and ended up getting matched with Oliver. Oliver was a joy to work with, he has a large enough personality to do the job, but kept all the corniness out. He was full of great suggestions on song choices and a HUGE help creating our timeline. My mother had been in the hospital for the 3 months leading up to the wedding and he knew how stressed I was so he sat with us for almost 2 hours working out last minute details and the flow of the evening. Dance floor was packed from the first song and he kept it that way with a great mix of music. He went along with every different idea we threw his way, and there were a lot of them, and made them even more special and unique to our wedding day.
