Wedding Venue #3 and #4

Joe and I visited the Signature Room.

I didn't take many photos of the view, but the Signature Room is on the 95th floor of the John Hancock building. The view is the skyline of Chicago. It is absolutely beautiful. I've been to the restaurant numerous times and they are fantastic, the food and the service.

This is a video I took quickly to view the space. 

Again, as you can see, the view out those windows are amazing. 

Imagine a wedding photo like that?

Pros:

1. The view.
2. It's classy. It will definitely fit the black and white wedding theme I want.
3. I think Joe likes it....it will be impressive. 

Cons:

1. It's expensive. It isn't the best place for a bride on a budget. 
2. We'd have to cut the budget to almost nothing for decor. I mean come on the decor is the skyline! This means though, that we can't put any of us into the decor like we would at Kitchen Chicago. 
3. No sit down dinner. To help with the cost, it would be either a cocktail reception or dinner but no drinks at all. Maybe Champagne to toast to.
4. It could not be in December, it is actually more expensive in December. Way more expensive. haha. I think it would also have to be on a Sunday. 
5. Parking fees - The guests would have to pay for their own parking. Parking downtown is either hard to find or expensive. 

Carnivale!

This place is fantastic. I went there for my 21st birthday.

The place was so pretty and colorful! I didn't take any pictures of my own of the room I liked but here are some photos I've found.

Here is the room I really liked when the manager? gave us a tour. 

It is called the Samba Room.

The place is super colorful but I love it. It has warm colors and it just feels like a party in there! 

They have picture frames on the walls that I can cover up with my own photos to mimic my engagement. 

Pros:

1. I love the colors. 
2. They have really good food here. 
3. There is no need for extra decor with all the color. 
4. Everything is included meaning food, tables, chairs, linen (unlike the loft type places).
5. Window view of the express way which is pretty cool.
6. Joe likes it!

Cons:

1. It is pricey 
2. I'd have to have it in the summer. December is more expensive. 
3. Is it too colorful? I couldn't have a black and white theme...?
