Anyone have any good ideas for where to have pictures taken for a winter wedding in the Chicagoland area? Preferably inside? Thank you!!!

Hello all! I’ve been struggling to make a decision, as has my FH. We plan on inviting around 160 people to our wedding, and we’re hoping to spend under $18,000 on the venue/food/open bar. We’re hoping to get married in December 2019, and we...

Reception will be mid December 2019. Majority of family lives in northwest Chicago suburbs. Venue A: West from us in Illinois. $18,700 for Friday wedding, 5 hour reception, 4 hour open bar. Includes soup, salad, passed apps, wedding cake,...

1) donut bar or 2) milk and cookies bar

Would you rather have 1) a choice of a variety of desserts+ wedding cake or 2) wedding cake+late night snack of pizza?

I’ll be getting married in December of 2019. My venue has a lot of exposed brick and is more industrial/contemporary. I would love to have gold terrariums with sola wood flowers for centerpieces. What kind of flowers would be best to order and to do...

My FH and I are trying to make our guest list slightly smaller. We’ve given plus ones where appropriate and included all SOs. He has a HUGE family while mine is very small. When growing up, many extended family members were a part of his life and...

Anyone else get really bummed out looking at wedding venues that are PERFECT but then they slap you with the price tag that is way out of your league? I went on my first tour with my FH today at a loft in a western suburb in Chicago. The event...

I searched through past discussions and everyone seems to give different advice. So who exactly gets a plus one. I know that if someone is in a relationship their SO gets invited by their name. They are a unit. So who exactly gets a plus one? My...

So my mom and dad have both offered to give my FH and I a set amount of money for the wedding and then also pay for my dress. They’re reliable, and I 100% trust that they will. They just have my brother a check for his wedding that was a month ago....

Hello! Has anyone had a wedding at Loyola Cuneo Mansion in Vernon Hills, IL? If so, how much did you spent on food/drinks and what was included? Was it expensive? Is it reasonable to expect to rent the space, food, and open bar for 140 or so for...

Hello all! I just got engaged in May to my high school sweetheart! I’ve been looking at venues to see what’s in our budget. We plan on getting married in November or December 2019 on a Friday with about 140 people. We’re hoping to stay under 17k! Any...
