YOUR ESSENTIAL I DOs SMALL WEDDING TEAM

Amanda Megan Miller

PLANNING & DESIGN: Named one of the top 50 event planners in the country by PartySlate, SQN Events is known for their dedication to elevating the guest experience and flawless execution. Every detail will be tended to, from designing the aesthetic of your wedding to fit the season and setting, creating a timeline to ensure a seamless and stress-free event, and providing you and your guests with everything you need to enjoy this significant moment.

 

VENUE: Revel Motor Row is a city landmark rich in Chicago history. Built in the 1930s by acclaimed architect Philip Maher, the Spanish revival designed building was first home to the Chicago Illinois Automobile Club, and in the 1950s became the headquarters for the Chicago Defender newspaper where it hosted notable Americans like John F. Kennedy, Martin Luther King, and Mohammad Ali. Carefully restored in 2017, Revel Motor Row marries classic architectural details such as stained glass windows, cove ceilings, and intricate woodwork with modern amenities, making it the perfect spot for couples to say “I do”. (And if Mother Nature cooperates, you’ll be able to utilize the sun-filled courtyard!)

 

PHOTOGRAPHY: Amanda Megan Miller is an artist and a storyteller. With roots in film photography and a master’s degree from the Art Institute of Chicago, she brings her (and we quote) #ClassicAF attitude and passion for perfection to her craft. Amanda will capture every moment of your micro wedding and an additional 30 minutes will be devoted to a private portrait session.

FLORAL & DECOR: The award-winning team at Revel Decor is known for creating designs that are grounded in a sense of modern luxury and driven by a couture approach. Your jaw-dropping ceremony backdrop will be designed to highlight the venue’s architecture and feature seasonal floral and foliage with other thoughtful touches. Personal flowers are included for the couple and two attendants. Additional corsages, boutonnieres, and bouquets can be added if desired.

 

COCKTAILS & CAKE: Break out the bubbly! Each of your guests will enjoy a glass of champs and a slice of the most delectable cake you ever did see. ECBG Cake Studio prides itself on only using high quality and organic ingredients in their confections. With four flavors and styles to choose from, you can personalize the cake to your taste (pun intended). Additional lite bites from Limelight Catering are available upon request.

 

OFFICIANT: After more than a decade of planning weddings, Nicole Zenner turned to officiating weddings focusing on her true love — each couple’s commitment and unique love story. Before your big day, you’ll receive an outline of a wedding ceremony and have the ability to choose what to include to make your ceremony special to the two of you. We’ll even include links to libraries of possible poetry/prose readings, as well as sample vows.
