Royal Sonesta Chicago Wedding / Shereen & David

Royal Sonesta Chicago wedding

 

Shereen and David celebrated their beautiful Royal Sonesta Chicago wedding surrounded by their closest family and friends in downtown Chicago. This contemporary hotel, located in the vibrant River North neighborhood, offers stylish event spaces and modern guest rooms that perfectly reflect the energy of the city.

Their celebration was an intimate wedding, proving that smaller guest lists can still create unforgettable moments. Many couples who planned weddings during the pandemic had to scale back their celebrations, but this micro wedding was filled with love, laughter, and incredible memories.

GETTING READY AT ROYAL SONESTA CHICAGO

The day began at Royal Sonesta Chicago River North where both Shereen and David got ready for their wedding. Having preparations in the same hotel made the day relaxed and seamless, allowing everyone to enjoy the moments leading up to the ceremony.

ROOFTOP WEDDING CEREMONY WITH CHICAGO SKYLINE VIEWS

The couple exchanged their vows during a beautiful rooftop ceremony overlooking the Chicago skyline and the Chicago River. The emotional exchange of vows created a truly special moment for everyone present.

The rooftop setting provided a stunning city backdrop for the ceremony photographs, capturing the essence of a modern Chicago rooftop wedding.

DOWNTOWN CHICAGO WEDDING PORTRAITS

One of the best things about having a Royal Sonesta Chicago wedding is the incredible location. Nestled in the heart of downtown Chicago, the hotel is within walking distance of many iconic photo locations.

Just across the street is Chicago Riverwalk, one of our most requested locations for wedding portraits. From there, couples can easily access beautiful city landmarks like the Wrigley Building, Chicago Theatre, and many of Chicago’s historic bridges.

For Shereen and David, we simply strolled through a few nearby locations to capture romantic portraits with the Chicago skyline as their backdrop.

RECEPTION CELEBRATION AT PINSTRIPES

For the second part of the celebration — dinner, dancing, and plenty of fun — the couple chose Pinstripes. The evening included great food, lively celebration, and even indoor bowling, which made the reception feel relaxed and interactive for all the guests.

A BEAUTIFUL CHICAGO MICRO WEDDING

We absolutely loved working with Shereen and David. Their wedding day was full of joy, emotion, and unforgettable moments shared with the people closest to them.

Their Royal Sonesta Chicago wedding is a perfect example of how intimate weddings in Chicago can still be incredibly meaningful and fun.
