I was so excited when Kristin and Jack asked me to plan their Chicago Wedding. Kristin was from the Chicago area and wanted to take advantage of the wonderful fall weather we have in Chicago in September and host her wedding then. She selected the Armour House in Lake Forest as her reception site which is one of my favorite locations in the suburbs of Chicago.

Kristin and Jack's wedding had a gorgeous color palette of moss green, ivory and milk chocolate which complemented the Armour House's ballroom. Kristin carried one of my favorite bouquets; a bouquet in a variey of green flowers and elements done by Tina and Dollie, Ltd. The weather on their wedding day was perfect and guests were able to enjoy cockails outside in the lovely garden at the Armour House.

Dinner and dancing continued inside to the sounds by Standing Room Only, one of the top wedding bands in Chicago, and for two years running have been listed as the Top 150 Hottest Wedding Bands by Modern Bride.

Kristin and I had so much fun planning the wedding together, I asked her to join the Engaging Events team and she now works for with me as a wedding consultant assistant on wedding days.
