The golden hour cast a magical glow over the Chicago River as Jake and Phoebe kicked off their wedding weekend at Gibsons Italia’s stunning rooftop. Under the expert guidance of Big City Bride, the evening transformed into a sophisticated soirée where loved ones gathered to celebrate the couple’s journey.
High above the Chicago River, guests mingled over craft cocktails and exquisite Italian bites while taking in breathtaking city views. Jake and Phoebe moved through the crowd with evident delight, their happiness infectious as they introduced parents to college friends and cousins to coworkers.
As the sun set behind Chicago’s architectural giants, casting long shadows across the river, it became clear this wasn’t just a prelude to the wedding – it was a cherished celebration in its own right, setting the perfect tone for the weekend ahead.
Jake and Phoebe’s wedding day began with an intimate first look among the blooming gardens of Lincoln Park. The couple, working with renowned planners Big City Bride, crafted a perfect blend of Chicago’s architectural beauty and modern elegance.
After their touching first look, they ventured to iconic Chicago landmarks. The classical columns of the Wrigley Building and the art deco masterpiece Board of Trade created stunning backdrops for their wedding portraits.
The Dalcy set a sophisticated scene for both ceremony and reception. Thistle and Plume transformed the industrial-chic venue with lush, romantic floral installations that softened the space’s clean lines and exposed brick.
As evening fell, Blue Water Kings Band kept the dance floor packed, their energetic performance matching the joyful atmosphere of this quintessential Chicago celebration. The band’s dynamic mix of classics and contemporary hits provided the perfect soundtrack as Jake and Phoebe danced the night away with their loved ones.
