Wedding Bliss and the Romance of Food

Posted by StrictlyWeddings.com :: 5 Comments :: Filed Under

Chicago Wedding Planner Hope Weis shared this exquisite wedding with us this week. This intimate wedding of 70 was treated to an evening of fine dining and fine wines. It was important to bride and groom Lisa Miller & Jim Knight that they create an evening similar to dining at one of their favorite restaurants in Chicago – Spiaggia. Regarded internationally as an influential culinary force, Chef Tony Mantuano’s Spiaggia is the only four-star Italian restaurant in Chicago.

A six course Degustazione Menu was prepared by Chef Montuano with wine pairings by wine expert Cathy Montuano. Beautifully appointed tables & furniture groupings were created by another one of StrictlyWeddings.com Chicago partners, Heffernan Morgan Designs. Guests dined and danced to the Don Cagen Orchestra on the Terrace of the Modern Wing of the Art Institute of Chicago, while overlooking the beautiful city and Millennium  Park.
