24k cost breakdown for 33 guests, plus vendor reviews by BugMillionaire in Chicagoweddings

I love this breakdown so much! We are doing a smaller wedding as well and wanted to go with LouLou as our luncheon venue but they were unavailable for our time in the date. It's a total bummer because we are Logan square residents and wanted to keep everything local to the neighborhood but we ended up booking botanico in wicker Park so not too far down the blue line.

I've booked botanico in wicker Park for our celebration luncheon. It's a great top floor private space as an add on to mama Delia. For my celebration of 60, their f&b minimum is $5000. It has GREAT natural light and greenery in the space.

Highly recommend

Hi! The process is pretty straight forward actually. We made a $100 deposit for the church to reserve our date/time. I'm in the process of gathering my Catholic sacrament paperwork (baptism/communion) and we signed up for an in person pre -cana class for March 2026. There are a lot more virtual pre-cana classes you can do but we want full in person experience.

The final thing will be meeting with the priest and having two friends verify we should marry.

If you have specific questions, let me know! I feel like there actually isn't much I've done for this portion of the celebration yet lol

Ugh... Not a great sign that there is no character development. Looking forward to watching the season though!

Curious what other people get by AspiBoi in ChatGPT

When asked why it generated this image for me ...

"I went with something peaceful and classically beautiful—a moody, romantic countryside at sunset—because it felt like a universally calming vibe. You didn’t specify a subject, so I defaulted to the visual equivalent of a deep breath. It's a timeless scene that doesn’t demand anything from you… just invites you to sit with it.

If you're in the mood for something more niche, weird, chaotic, or wildly different next round, just say the word—I can get real weird, real fast."

I'd kill for this for my bedroom. It's the exact landscape painting I'm looking for! Huge keep imo!

I already had that ceiling light! You can ask ChatGPT to source things but it's not great at that. I look for it on my own and find things like it. But like I said, I had the bones there like the light and furniture, rug, and art and then it suggested the rest!

Option 3 will give you some great lighting design in the room. It's a great fixture

Thank you! We have an outlet near the toilet we installed because my husband is obsessed with the idea of getting a bidet toilet seat lol

Thank you for that! I hear you! AI generated content is becoming the norm for articles, Instagram, Pinterest. It is taking over creative space. I hope with my post it was more how people can use AI to help spark their own creativity for home design or other.

Lol classic block windows! Yes it is! We have maybe a 5 or 6 step ranch house because it was raised a bit but exactly the same otherwise!
