Alex and Seth fell in love with The Rookery for its breathtaking architecture and timeless Chicago elegance. Beneath its iconic sweeping staircase, they created a ceremony and reception space that felt like a modern fairytale: dramatic floral installations in rich, warm tones, flowing drapery, and hundreds of glowing candles that filled the room with a romantic golden light.

Their vision blended classic sophistication with a cozy, inviting atmosphere that made guests feel wrapped in warmth and love. Adding to the magic, they brought in Leah Marlene, one of their favorite artists, whose live covers of their most meaningful songs, from their first dance to emotional parent dances, turned each moment into something unforgettable.

Surrounded by family, friends, and the beauty of The Rookery, Alex and Seth celebrated a wedding that was heartfelt, elegant, and entirely their own.
