From the confetti filled getting ready room, the taco and gelato trucks, the hilarious and heart felt speeches, the urban and rustic venue in the heart of Chicago, the succulent details, topped off with Dave sliding down the fire pole into the reception, this wedding day was filled to the brim with memories that I will surely never forget, and I’m sure the same goes to all of their sweet guests that attended!

I remember the day perfectly, the morning that I opened my email and saw a new inquiry waiting in my inbox. I opened it up to read about the sweet, newly engaged couple, to read about their story and when I saw where their venue was, I froze and instantly got flashbacks. The Redfield Estate. I always wondered if I would ever be back to that magical place after my own wedding day, and here we […]
