So Elaine and I have settled on our DJ and our photographer. For the music we decided to go with the girls over at Toast and Jam because there eclectic tastes seemed to line up with our eclectic friends! And the shutterbug is from Creativo, and has a great eye for wedding photography that comes across as more fashion editorial than documentarian, plus he’s Italian, so all the animated hand gestures will just add to the excitement!
Next up is the caterers and the all-important booze…

Well, that’s very nice of you! But, we aren’t registered anywhere…we think that the emphasis should be on everyone celebrating and having a good time, not coordinating flatware. Besides, we already have waayyy more stuff than we need!
So, use that money on gas for the drive, plane tickets, or a babysitter so you can have as much fun as everybody else!
No presents other than your presence are requested.

Well, as many of you probably already know, Chicago isn’t exactly a cheap place. So why should catering be any different!? After getting several prices over $100 per person, we thought that we had better rethink the situation…seriously! $120 per person! I don’t think I’ve ever gone out to a swank restaurant and paid that much, so why would we pay it for prime rib that’s been stewing over a sterno can?
Instead, we are serving a variety of hors d’oeuvres rather than a traditional sit-down meal. I think this will also provide a less formal coctail reception style vibe. If you are the hungry type, make sure you eat a big lunch!

We are hoping to keep this party comfortable, but at the same time we didn’t want you guys showing up in Bermuda shorts and flip-flops either…so aim for something a little closer to dapper-dan than to sloppy-sam!
We know how hard it is to breakdance in formal attire, so the reception is going to be a lot more casual so bring your dancing shoes. But most importantly: bring your drinking cap!
