loft

We heart our urban loft spaces, warehouse wedding venues, art gallery loft weddings, and anywhere where we’re up to our noses in gorgeous rehabbed reception spaces. Let’s celebrate our unique, chic, and rustic loft weddings.

Industrial chic vibes at this vintage-inspired two-groom wedding inspiration

Manhattan-based couple George and Matt were the stars of this vintage-inspired two-groom wedding inspiration. It was all Art Decor glamour of the Gatsby era brought into modern times. You’ll definitely want to see the champagne tower of antique glasses, glittering macarons, and magnificent six-tiered wedding cake (nearly as tall as the grooms!), frosted and gilded in icing reminiscent of Erté, with beads cascading down the sides.

A “crafternoon” wedding with painting, melted glass, and a rooftop ceremony

Our wedding was an all day event for all our family and friends. Our focus was art, making, adventure, and, of course, love. We planned a beautiful rooftop afternoon ceremony in Pilsen, at Lacuna Artists Lofts. This graffiti-filled, mixed use space was amazing and beautiful. It also got our small-town families out of the Loop. After the ceremony, we put all of our 100 guests onto chartered buses and took them to Lillstreet Art Center for four different art classes and snacks for a “crafternoon!”

Spend some time with Carolyn & Mike’s “Time in a Bottle”-themed wedding (with musical surprise!)

A custom gold gown, a gorgeous Chicago loft space, and a “Time in a Bottle” theme… this wedding is chic, luminous, and artfully planned by a bride who is one of our fave vendors! Come see the clock details, scream singing reception, personal music touches, and of course… a super special musical surprise for the groom at the ceremony that is a must-see.

Sabrina & William’s DIY and donuts loft wedding

Don’t get too caught up drooling over the mountains of donuts in this wedding because there is a TON to see! Don’t miss the bride’s dress, her super cute short hairstyle and hairpiece, the magically gorgeous industrial loft venue, the gold and black chic decor, and the food truck fun.
