Fairytale Wedding in Chicago

We are so excited to share this gorgeous Chicago real wedding. The wedding planner, Joy Jones of Joy Jones Planning & Design was kind enough to submit this beautiful union and Raven and Channing were also kind enough to share their wedding thoughts and experiences with us throughout the post. Enjoy this post and these heartfelt images captured by Summerset Studios.

Your puppy is so cute!!! Was it important to have your pup in the wedding photos?

Thank you! Absolutely. Pablo is apart of our family & furry bestie. He took his title of Dog of Honor seriously and was so excited to be included on the first look formal pics! Still can’t get over his tux lol! 

How did you feel on your wedding day, having all of your plans come together?  

Like a fairytale! It was such a relaxing, stress free day, and intentional morning of just us two soaking it all in and preparing for the magical festivities to come! Thank you so much to our planner & coordinator Joy Jones! 

How did you find/choose your venue spot (since you mentioned that not many people know about it)?

We went through a lot of changes during our planning process- biggest one being the venue. We initially toured another affiliated location that had not yet opened & due to construction delays wouldn’t be ready. We were presented with the option to move it to Roanoke. Christine Bane and the whole team were lifesavers and a pleasure to work with! The process was seamless and looking back, we couldn’t have pictured it anywhere else! 

What was the inspiration for your plans/designs?

We wanted the space to feel timeless & elegant, and compliment us and our guests. Our inspiration was a cozy, chic and classic vibe with attention to small details. Neutral color tones, fresh flowers, mixed metals and candlelight worked its magic! 

What is your favorite memory from your wedding (you and your spouse can answer that separately if you both have different favorite memories)? 

Hmmm good question honestly it’s hard to choose! We’d say next to officially becoming a union, our favorite part was seeing and feeling all the love and support from our family and friends under one roof. It meant so much to us. 

Thank you for taking time to speak with us about the best day of our lives!!
