A Summer Wedding in Chicago

Today we are excited to share Fran and Zach’s gorgeous summer wedding in Chicago. Their wedding venue, Gibson’s Italia, is a wonderfully modern, yet timeless Italian steakhouse, positioned a few floors up on Canal street in downtown Chicago. Their spacious and stunning roof deck gifts panoramic views of the Chicago River, and the city’s iconic skyline. For Fran and Zach, they could think of nowhere better to celebrate their union, and their love for the city, than up on that roof deck. No extra décor necessary!

“Our venue had the most wonderful view of the Chicago river and skyline through huge glass windows all around. Because of this, we wanted to ensure the space felt light, and airy, not burdened with décor. We did however, install a flower wall to cover the back side of the space and that added a great focal point“, shared Fran.

Fran and Zach skipped the tradition of a seated dinner, in favor of heavy hors d’oeuvres, along with a pasta and steak carving section. Gibsons Italia have an outstanding in-house culinary team, and a thrilling menu of Italian classics, with lots of great seafood. The perfect combination for these two! And by not having a seated reception, it was an easy transition to go from eating, to dancing!
