Kelly and Dan's Lacuna Lofts Wedding | Chicago, IL
When Kelly turned 26, her birthday wish may have been what she wanted most, but what she got that night was something she never expected—reconnecting with an old friend who would one day become her husband. Kelly and Dan's story didn't start when they met that night. It started years earlier, as kids who became friends, then adults who took separate paths before finding their way back to each other. On that birthday, they sang their hearts out karaoke-style and realized something incredible had been there all along.
Fast forward to their wedding day, and that same joy, energy, and undeniable chemistry filled every moment. Their celebration at Lacuna Lofts in Chicago was bold, vibrant, and unapologetically them. From the moment guests stepped into the industrial-chic venue, they were greeted with bursts of color, cozy corners, and a vibe that said, "Come as you are, and let's celebrate."
From Young Friends to Forever Love
The couple exchanged vows in the beautifully intimate Saint John Fisher Parish. Their ceremony paid homage to tradition and family, which anchored their celebration with meaning and authenticity.
When they walked out of the church as newlyweds, the joy on their faces said it all. They'd written a love story unlike any other and were ready to turn the page to the next chapter.
A Day Rooted in Connection, Designed for Fun
When we first met to discuss their plans, Kelly and Dan shared their hopes for a relaxed yet intentional day. They wanted a space where their loved ones could connect, celebrate, and dance the night away—and Lacuna Lofts couldn't have been a more perfect fit.
If you've never been to Lacuna Lofts, it feels like stepping into a Pinterest board of urban romance. This historic building is brimming with character, with its open floor plan, industrial finishes, and creative installations. It's bold. It's creative. And for Kelly and Dan, it was everything they wanted.
The raw texture of exposed brick and large factory windows, contrasted with sleek decor and romantic lighting, gave the event a "best of both worlds" appeal. And those rooftop views? They added an unbeatable romantic touch, offering unforgettable photos with the Chicago skyline as the backdrop.
Their reception was as dynamic as the venue itself. The layout encouraged mingling, laughter, and plenty of dancing, while the Chicago skyline outside felt like a guest in its own right. Kelly and Dan knew they wanted a celebration that matched their story—fun, creative, and overflowing with connection. And boy, did they deliver.
