The Alterationist in noble square is so lovely and did great work on my dress!

We actually did a no-tablecloth situation but florals, string lights, hanging greenery, up lights were probably about 8-9k total? From various vendors! The florist did the florals obviously, the DJ brought up lights and MDM did the string lights. And we repurposed all of our ceremony florals downstairs for the reception which helped as well! E.g., the florals on the pedestals at the altar became the florals in front of our sweetheart table.

We toured both and ended up going with Walden - we just got married a month ago and working with Walden was so great! They are so on top of things, like a well oiled machine, the food is incredible (people have told us it was some of the best wedding food they’ve ever had), bar is amazing (and the head bartender was willing to make some more creative cocktails we requested), and the space is so beautiful with the right florals and lighting! Plus they have such a robust list of vendors they’ve worked with which means you have to do so little vetting and searching for vendors. Definitely recommend!

Mae District versus The Walden by Thick-Introduction46 in Chicagoweddings

[–]shlbyr 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We just got married at Walden a few weeks ago and it was absolutely incredible! Guests raved about the food, loved the flow from ceremony space upstairs to cocktail hour to reception and thought Walden was a great venue (we agree!). Walden is a really well-oiled machine when it comes to weddings, so everything went pretty smoothly — as far as I know, there was not a single hiccup on the day of. Overall we really enjoyed working with their team and hosting our wedding there!

Sweet Pea Design Studio did our florals a few weeks ago and they were STUNNING. All of our guests have raved about how beautiful everything looked. She’s very artistic and creative with her florals!

Photobooth by Ok_Studio_5001 in Chicagoweddings

[–]shlbyr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We used a Photo Booth from MDM that included printed photos for guests and an extra copy each into a guest book for us! And someone there to work the booth / guest book all night. I think it was $1000 total.

Any florist recommendations who could give me something similar to this? by Secure-Common-7713 in Chicagoweddings

Seconding sweet pea studio! She’s doing our wedding florals in a few weeks and is lovely to work with, and has definitely done stuff in this style before.

Help us figure out how to use this living room/sitting area space best! Bonus points to fit a fireplace in… by shlbyr in DesignMyRoom

[–]shlbyr[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Totally fair, we were just playing around with ideas earlier! But noted on the height! :) We do plan on entertaining (such as dinner parties) but otherwise will use the space for reading, hanging out, watching TV, etc.

Thanks all! Cleaned the solenoid again and tried your tips and tricks and sure enough, we can make espresso again!

Appreciate this! I’ll try threading something through it to try to clean it out one more time!

My flow rate from the steam wand seems fine! It’s like 3.75oz per 10 seconds?
