So far it seems the couple that run it are lovely and it should be a fun space to dress up. here's more pics from their site which shows how others have planned it out, but I think my 'team' and I will do something much different.
We also looked at the space A New Leaf has in Lincoln Park:
This place is gorgeous, but has a couple levels, which didn't feel was right for our reception, but I would love to figure out another way to use the space. When we were there they were setting up for a Bat Mitzvah party.
This was the space upstairs [people have used it as a chapel]:
Too bad it wasn't the right fit. I took zillions of pics and their space is adjacent to one of their flower shops. I like to go in their shop just to take pictures.
They have a candle area downstairs that is such great eyecandy:
We also stopped in at West Loop Studio which was nice, but small, and way overpriced for 'nice but small.' He had some great pieces of furniture in there, though! And a little room he uses as a sort of photo booth where he takes pics [he's a photog] of guests with props and hats, etc..We are going to steal this idea and just set up our own area somewhere in the space [somehow we will figure this out]
After a day of perusing spaces, I let go of the space I really wanted [it was too expensive but I didnt care--I WANTED IT], we decided on Prairie. It was reasonable for the season [3500K] the space was big and grand, and the catering and liquor options were completely open. done. now. to convince the family that the Saturday after TGiving is ok....
Then we can have fun, right?
