I was fortunate enough to work with Meri & Nat for over a year to help them plan their entire wedding weekend from their rehearsal dinner and welcome party at Chicago Firehouse to their wedding at Revel Motor Row—it was one for the books! From our first meeting, I knew their day was going to be so special. Throughout the entire planning process, their number one priority was ensuring their guests had an amazing experience and they succeeded! They were intentional and created a meaningful experience for their family and friends that their guests will remember for years to come.

Cheers! Kirsten

The day started with Meri and her party getting ready at The Marriott Marquis, where Rare Bird Beauties glammed them up, while Nat and his wedding party started their day at Revel Motor Row. Allison Francois Photography and Ziino Productions captured all the details that Steracle Press provided. Meri's mom and sister helped her get dressed and Meri had the most special first look with her dad & mom.

After everyone was wedding ready, Meri and her party headed to Revel Motor Row for the first look with Nat. After their first look, Meri and Nat exchanged private personal vows and headed to the Art Institute gardens for photos with their wedding party.

Their ceremony was held outside in Revel Motor Row's courtyard. Revel Decor created a gorgeous, lush ceremony backdrop and the cutest lounge area where their guests could leave well wishes for the couple.
