Lacuna Lofts Wedding Day in Chicago

This October wedding was such a beautiful day! Firmly Rooted Events was Brigid and Jack’s day-of wedding coordination team on a brisk day in Chicago. Their classic, simple, wonderful wedding speaks for itself in its beauty and love.

The ceremony was at the Church of the Holy Family, and the reception was in Lacuna Lofts in Chicago, and it was a lovely day overall! Our favorite thing about this wedding, beside the sweet, amazing couple we worked with, was how they really infused some of their life story and their personality into their wedding day.

Wedding Day Prep & Special Details

Brigid and Jack started the morning getting ready at their hotel. We absolutely loved the sweats that they had as an alternative for PJs - it definitely is cozy and still is easy to change out of without damaging your hair and makeup by having to pull anything over your head!

One of our favorite things you can do for your wedding day is personalize the details to fit you and your partner’s lives together. The ginkgo tree leaves are showing through the wedding day with this letter Brigid had gotten from her soon-to-be spouse, as well as the invitation, programs, and escort cards at the reception.

Brigid said that she grew up with a huge gingko tree in her front yard that holds a significant place in her family’s heart. When she was looking for her wedding dress, she got chills when she realized the one she loved had ginkgo leaf lace. She got a custom-made ginkgo leaf veil to bring it all together with it as its symbol of hope, strength, and resilience.

Ceremony at Holy Family Church

Brigid and Jack got married at the Church of the Holy Family in Chicago - this church is one that we will NEVER forget with how gorgeous everything about it is!!! The way that it is illuminated is mesmerizing, and it was even more special because their brother officiated as he is now a pastor himself.

Autumn Wedding Day Portraits at Tom Park

Brigid and Jack had a smaller wedding party than we’ve seen in a while, but they still brought the fun with having lots of wedding guests at the ceremony and reception. The sage green dresses they had are so beautiful as a contrast against the October fall leaves.

Turns out that October 28 was the perfect time of year to get those beautiful fall colors - their portraits together are so beautiful!!! We know that these photos are definitely the ones you can hang on your wall like art - just like the murals you’ll see later at one of our favorite venues.

Lacuna Lofts Wedding Reception

Lacuna Lofts is one of our favorite wedding venues in Chicago because it is so unique while still not being too out of the box. The loft-y feel it provides as well as all of the murals and art pieces are sure to be something to remember. The artistic flair gives it its own personality that you don’t really find in other spaces!

Rooftop Wedding Pictures on the Skydeck

Unfortunately it was a little chilly to have the cocktail hour on their iconic Skydeck, but thankfully Brigid and Jack braved the cold to get some of the cutest photos from the day up there. There is such a gorgeous view of the Chicago skyline as well as a really fun Chicago-themed mural in the first photo above!

Wedding Day Portraits at Lacuna Lofts Murals

When we say there are murals throughout the venue, we aren’t lying! The most popular one for wedding days is the “I Love You” mural is one that definitely stands the tests of time and is so cute.

Brigid and Jack’s Epic Night with The Final Say Band

The evening was such a fun time - Brigid and Jack had The Final Say band, and the guests LOVED them! With a larger guest count and an energetic band, nearly every guest was on the dance floor through the whole night.

No matter what age your guests are, having a band really brings an energy that otherwise wouldn’t be achievable and really gets everyone excited to celebrate with you.

A Day Filled with Love and Celebration

Overall, this wedding was so beautiful because of the weather and the venue, but especially because Brigid and Jack were so sweet and happy throughout the whole day!

We can definitely tell when couples like them are focused on enjoying each other and celebrating with their guests, the day feels perfect. We are so glad we were able to help make the day run smoothly for them to be free to have a good time without worrying about a thing!
