Which property did you get married at?

Why did you pick this location?

We loved the decor. The southwestern, boho vibes fit perfectly with our laid back wedding theme. It was also located in a fun neighborhood (Logan Square) that offered us a lot of options in terms of pictures. We took a good amount of our photos right in the alley behind the space because of the great grafiti. The decor inside also lended itself nicely to photos: in one unit there was a whole rose wall and then we were able to do our first look in the open stairwell. This was super appealing to us in case the weather wasn't good for outdoor photos. And finally, the space itself! We gave a room to everyone in our bridal party and it slept us all super comfortably.

Was there a weekend itinerary? If so, please share in detail!

There was not. We had the units the night of our rehearsal dinner, so we were able to drop all of our day-of-wedding details off the day before, which was super convenient and less stressful. We then all got ready for the rehearsal dinner there. We crashed there that night, woke up in the morning, and started getting hair and makeup. We had our first look there and then hit the road and didn't return until the wedding was over. The best part of this experience was being able to have all our favorite people under one roof. The women got ready on one floor and the men got ready on another. The energy was so exciting having everyone in one place. It also made transportation a breeze.

Any tips for future brides?

I would say that if you're feeling overwhelmed by any day- of details, look into the concierge/planning service they offer! Nothing is worth you getting stressed :) If you can free up any of your time to spend with your people in a real way, then do it! Other than that- rest easy knowing you're booking a great stay.

Bride and Groom's drinks of choice for the weekend?

Lots of champagne for the women and lots of Coors Light for the men.
