What do you think makes eloping in Chicago so special?

Chicago is a city with gorgeous buildings, beaches, bridges, and so much beauty! I’ve lived in many cities through the years – you just can’t beat the City by the Lake for its diversity of wedding venues.

What’s a fun fact about you?

My latest hobby is “quilling” – paper mosaic art!
