Chicago SOTWI and Mastermind Dinner 2026

We had the opportunity to work with The Wedding Masterclass for the Chicago State of the Wedding Industry Event in March. CHI thee WED was proud to be the team curator sponsor which means that I sourced the team that put the event together. We put as many CHI thee WED Community Members in the event as possible and it ended up being a fantastic group and fantastic event!

Fairlie Chicago Winter Wedding

“We both wanted a winter wedding, and I love the colors. I would say as far as a theme goes it will be pretty simple and modern with a lot of greenery!! Our main priorities are good music, good drinks, and a great photographer to help us capture it all!!! We just want our guests to have a lot of fun.”

Timeless Chicago Wedding at Fairlie

Ashley and Nick’s wedding was all about glamour and timeless elegance. They said their vows and danced the night away at the stunning industrial wedding venue, Fairlie in Chicago’s West Loop. They had the best team of vendors to help put together their dream wedding.
