High-style overlooking the Chicago skyline. With a stunning and massive ballroom, panoramic views of the city, and a classic mid-century modern aesthetic, the Ritz-Carlton was the perfect backdrop for Dan and Brian’s wedding day. The ceremony space featured clean and chic details: mirrored tables, numerous candles, and a round stage surrounded by abundant florals on top of a mercury glass-styled floor. The guest seating was set in a circular pattern around the central stage, giving the couple a panoramic view of their guests. After cocktail hour, guests made their way back to the ballroom which underwent a spectacular makeover! Bright pinks and purple lighting emanating from the central massive showstopping glass chandelier. Tables adorned with silk linens, florals in deep hues of red, purple, and pinks, metallic flatware, and gold modern accents. At the entrance was a massive multi-tiered cake with a custom monogram and floral motif design that emulated the invitation suite. During one of the groom’s welcome toast, he mentioned, “When you get married at our age, a big wedding is inevitable because of all the lives you’ve touched.” That sentiment was so present in the room: despite a wedding with hundreds of guests, each person felt like family.
