How would you feel emerging from a tall-pillared building as you walk down a grand staircase as your partner waits for you across the aisle, overlooking Chicago’s mighty skyline? Like a queen, right? That’s the feel of Uihlein Plaza for you! When you make a spectacular entry walking down the staircase, with all the eyes on you, you’ll realize that ‘large’ feels like such a small word! Nothing can compare to the grandeur of those big moments right leading to even bigger ones as your sweetheart looks on with bated breath downstairs! Trust your Chicago wedding photographer to capture the opulence of it all!

The Georgian-style Chicago Room is a perfect place to hold your wedding reception, accommodating up to 600 guests. The room boasts high coffered ceilings, huge dazzling chandeliers, a checkerboard dance floor and beautiful Tiffany and Frank Llyod Wright stained-glass windows, overlooking the Lincoln Garden and the city skyline. While the unique dance floor sets an extraordinary mood for your first dance, the romantic lighting adds more romance to the whole ambiance. The dance floor, due to its uniqueness, makes for a perfect background for your wedding photography. Your wedding photographer would love to capture candid moments of your guests cutting a rug!

 As the day progresses, we recommend sneaking out with your partner for a while. While you do that, do not forget to take your wedding photographer along! You could explore the gardens for a romantic photoshoot against the lush green landscapes. Next up, walk up to the waterfront to get more pictures clicked. Rope in your bridesmaid and groomsmen to get spectacular portraits clicked against the sparkling backdrop of Lake Michigan.
