Jon & Allison

Jon and Allison’s Chicago wedding was the perfect blend of elegance, emotion, and personality. Their day began at the iconic Viceroy Chicago, where Allison got ready surrounded by her closest friends before a heartfelt first look with Jon at their Lincoln Park home.

The couple’s dogs, Duke and Mia, even joined in for portraits beneath the city’s golden skyline. Their ceremony took place at the breathtaking Cafe Brauer in Lincoln Park Zoo, a timeless Chicago landmark filled with laughter, tears, and a surprise entrance from Mia in a tiny remote-control car.

From the soulful live band by Gold Coast Events to the late-night pizza and ice cream, every detail reflected their joy and playfulness.

Planned and designed by Elegante Weddings and Events, the day showcased modern romance with a classic Chicago backdrop, stunning floral design by Flowers for Dreams, and a joyful energy that filled every corner of the celebration.
