Tea at The Drake Hotel Chicago

Being born and raised in Chicago, it is easy to take our amazing city for granted. The summer goes by so quickly, especially for our Brides & Grooms who are busy planning their wedding. So when you need a break from the seating charts, flower arrangements and invitations, check out some of our favorite things to do in our beautiful city of Chicago.

Spend an evening at the theater!  Chicago is one of the best theater towns…Steppenwolf Theater, The Goodman Theater, Porchlight Music Theatre and of course the many Broadway in Chicago Theaters.

Ride the 150 foot high Ferris Wheel at Navy Pier.  It is a fun and romantic way to view the city!

When your feeling stressed and need a few laughs, check out Second City on Wells Street.

For a relaxing day with your Bridesmaids enjoy High Tea at the Drake Hotel featuring a live harpist, delicious scones, sandwiches and sweets.  A favorite of mine!

Pack a picnic with your sweetie and head out to Grant Park or Millennium Park.  They offer free concerts during the summer.

If you are really ambitious…run the Chicago Marathon in October…or if you are like me, head to the city and cheer on the runners!
