Wedding Details

The ceremony will be held at the Ravenswood Event Center, with a cocktail reception, dinner and epic dance party immediately following.  The venue is located in one of Chicago's lovely North-side neighborhoods, Ravenswood, and was once home to an industrial printing and design company, providing a unique and urban backdrop for our special day!
