Erin & Andrew’s Sophisticated Wedding at the Chicago History Museum

Erin and Andrew are the epitome of sophistication. These two are the kind of couple you want in your corner. They’re driven, supportive and loving of all the people in their lives, and FUN. Erin & Andrew chose to celebrate their wedding at the Chicago History Museum, oozing with classic architecture and stunning character. After a lovely early evening ceremony, guests enjoyed cocktails and appetizers in the Robinson Gallery. Everyone was invited into the Morse Genius Room for a delicious dinner served by Paramount Events and heartfelt toasts by some loved ones. The cannolis from D’Amatos post-dinner were a total hit and beautiful to boot. 


Following a wonderful dinner experience, Bluewater Kings Band kicked off the remainder of the evening with lively music. Jimmy Buffet’s “Margaritaville” as performed by BWKB made the guests go wild because it was at a Jimmy Buffet concert that Erin and Andrew met. So, of course, we had hawaiian leis to celebrate. Once the party at Chicago History Museum ended, the couple and a smaller group went over to Corcoran’s to keep the celebration going. 


Best wishes on your life together as husband and wife, Erin & Andrew. We wish you the absolute best, and cannot wait to see what the future holds for you two! Take a glimpse into Erin & Andrew’s Sophisticated Wedding at the Chicago History Museum below, photographed by Matt Lien!
