Lila and Zack were looking for the perfect venue for their romantic winter wedding in Illinois. They found The Haight and it was perfect for their indoor ceremony and reception. 

Hosting a wedding in December in Illinois tends to be difficult because couples need to have an indoor space to host not only the reception but the ceremony. The Haight offers indoor ceremony space for couples regardless of season. 

Indoor Ceremony

The ceremony space was adorned with beautiful string lights that gave the space that romantic winter wedding feel. Everything seemed cozy and intimate while still looking classic. Once the couple shared their vows and said “I-Do” they took the time after the ceremony to take pictures indoors. Lila and Zack took advantage of the beautiful string lights and exposed brick inside The Haight for their pictures. They even braved the cold and used our balcony space for some stunning pictures as well. 

Romantic Reception

Once inside the couple was able to enjoy the reception with their guests. A unique feature for this wedding was the white wedding garland added to the ceiling. This is something that has not been done before but added to that romantic winter feel. Each garland featured doves and the couples names which was a fun personal touch. 

Lila and Zack kept the rest of their decor simple and let the beauty of the venue shine through. Throughout the space they featured old wedding photos from family members in beautiful gold frames. But, the main focal point was the dessert table and cake. The cake featured simple baby’s breath florals and lego bride and groom to top it off.  After their first dance, Lila and Zack spent the night dancing and celebrating with their guests. This wedding was romantic, and filled with love.
