Hello Knotties!! Married for 11 days now and it's wonderful and we had such an amazing wedding that I want to share all my great vendors with you! We had our ceremony and reception at the Hard Rock Hotel Chicago and the events team there was AMAZING! I would highly recommend this venue for a small to medium/small wedding. Also based on the reviews from this message boards, we went with Kristen at Kio Kreations. She did the most amazing job on the flowers and was so great to work with...especially on our super small budget!
Anyone looking for a great DJ and not wanting to spend a crazy amount of money, look into Gotta Dance DJ's. Joe was just wonderful and played everything we wanted him to play, and left out the wedding "cheese".
Also as a quick tip for anyone looking for something different and unique, I used etsy.com for lots of ideas and also some of my table decorations and my hair piece so check it out!
Cheers!
Amanda
