Hi I am newly engaged in chicago. Our wedding is not for two years so I have plenty of time to plan. We have found our reception/wedding place already (illinois beach). I have been dreaming of this for years and the staff there (mainly Nichole) have been so helpful and nice. Going there took all the stress of planning away. They totally helped work with our budget and made every little bit that i wanted a reality. I so cant wait for the big day.
