They are the perfect time to host a celebration because most people have the Monday holiday as a vacation day, and who doesn&#8217;t love an extended wedding weekend?! Allie and Jonathan\u2019s wonderful Chicago wedding was non-stop fun at the University Club in breathtaking Cathedral Hall. There are a handful of venues in Chicago that have a timeless feel and impeccable service, and the University Club is one of those coveted locations.  <\/p>\n<p>Catering director Lychelle Lawrenz from the Club collaborated with Nicole Zenner from <a href=\"http:\/\/lkeventschicago.com\">LK Events<\/a>, and just like magic: these two ladies created a soiree guaranteed to be a serious mega-hit!<\/p>\n<p>Allie and Jonathan began their wedding day with the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sarlasmusic.com\/artistrings\/\">Artistrings Pop String Quartet<\/a> providing ceremony music. With Crazy Love\/Van Morrison for the wedding party entrance, and a special arrangement of Sea of Love\/Cat Power for Allie&#8217;s entrance, guests knew from the very beginning of the day that this was going to be a really special celebration. Artistrings kicked off the recessional with Signed Sealed Delivered\/Stevie Wonder, and then went down to the Library to entertain guests for cocktails while all vendor teams moved swiftly to reset Cathedral Hall for dinner and dancing. <\/p>\n<p>While the room-turn magic was happening in Cathedral Hall, cocktailing guests enjoyed a wide selection of pop tunes, including the &#8220;must play&#8221; requests of Game of Thrones, Star Wars, and Hedwig&#8217;s Theme. Love it! <\/p>\n<p>Mouthwatering food is always one of the main reasons that families choose the University Club as one of the go-to places to host a Chicago Wedding. Four courses of pure culinary delight were enjoyed by over 200 guests who were gathered to dance the night away. <\/p>\n<p>Dancing began with two special family dances, and then the dance floor erupted into a massive hora &#8211; Mazel Tov!<\/p>\n<p>From our rotation of over 800 tunes, Allie and Jonathan selected a playlist of the best artists to read the pulse of the evening, which was a great mix of old and new. Bruno Mars, Pharrell, Whitney Houston, Michael and Janet Jackson, Lionel Richie, Justin Timberlake and DNCE kept this <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sarlasmusic.com\/chris-sarlas-orchestra\/\">Chicago wedding band<\/a> on our toes. <\/p>\n<p>Be sure to check out the sweetest video moment of the evening at the opening of the montage below. Let me set the stage: the band is cranking out Pharrell\u2019s <em>Happy<\/em>, and a barefoot two-year old steals the show with his breakneck fancy footwork!
