Our ceremony and reception will be held June 2, 2012 in Chicago, IL. We are getting married in the West Loop, downtown, close to Oprah's Harpo studio.
We are both very excited (or at least I am and Pat is claiming to be excited for my sake) that we have booked Prairie Production for our venue. It is a family owned and operated venue and event space that is also used as a photography studio. They've had many famous people (including Gwen Stefani!) there for photo shoots. There are three separate areas inside the venue and two outdoor areas. We hope to have the ceremony outside and the cocktail and reception inside. Below are some photos of the space.
**A note on parking--there is plentiful street parking for the location and it is free (no meters)**
This is a photo of the main outdoor area. This space is where we the ceremony will be, with a different layout.
This is the portion of the venue where the cocktail hour will take place. Dinner will be served buffet-style from here as well.
