Toast & Jam

Laid back, professional, not cheesy.

Kikos of Park Ridge

Very affordable. Fresh flowers lasted a long time.

Dame Couture

One of a kind dress for (relatively) reasonable price. Personal attention from fun, creative staff.

Tigerlilie Salon of Lincoln Square

Pricing was too high and the staff failed to manage their time well, pushing us an hour behind schedule (despite our punctual arrival and confirmed reservations). Hair turned out great but the makeup was so-so.

Church of Our Savior

We went to this church before getting married but sadly didn't return after our wedding day - they just weren't welcoming. Pastor Linda Packard was cold to our guests and offered an uninspired homily that even I (the bride who paid extra attention) immediately forgot. Church charged LOTS (over $1500) to use their "services" but wouldn't let us consider any of that $$$ as a tax-deductible donation. Their "wedding coordinator" was useless yet we were required to use her and pay her $200 - it made us sick.

The Tower Club

Hidden gem in Chicago's loop. Great service, views and food.
