How would you describe your overall wedding experience?

It was amazing! It was nerve racking leading up to the wedding, because I didn’t know if the vision in my head was going to be executed. It turned out better! From Dora, Livia, Rebecca, Dj Craig, Jackie, and Sacha at the Marriott I could not have asked for a better team to execute the weekend!!

I got my dress from Vwidon in Chicago. Carla is the designer and is amazing!! I could not have been happier with my dress!

This is my favorite story! Brian and I had recently bought a metal detector to take with us on vacation to find “treasures” on the beach. We decided one morning to take it to North Ave beach in Chicago to search for treasure. Little did I know Brian had gone the day before and buried a note (with pieces of metal, not the ring!) in the sand. After awhile of searching I found the note that said “Will You Marry Me” I looked up and Brian was on his knee. It was perfect!

If not, did you like waiting or would you have rather done it differently? Tell me why or why not!

We did see each other prior to the ceremony, which I was hesitant about at first, but am so glad we did! That moment was so special, I’m glad we were able to have it, and that Rebecca was able to capture it!

Use this space to talk about favorite shops. You can include where you got your dress, sites you got your veils/décor/accessories, etc.

Celebrations is amazing! It is literally a one stop shop for weddings! I used them for everything!
