A Timeless Celebration: Amanda and Chad’s Wedding at the Union League Club of Chicago
On May 18, 2024, Amanda and Chad celebrated their love at the Union League Club of Chicago, a venue that effortlessly combined timeless elegance with personal charm.
The couple’s story began in July 2022 at a Tampa happy hour hosted by the Notre Dame and Saint Mary’s alumni clubs. Sparks flew immediately, and by the end of the evening, Chad had Amanda’s number. A year later, during a family trip to Eygalières, France, Chad proposed in the picturesque setting of Provence, marking the beginning of their journey to this unforgettable day.
Before the festivities began, Amanda and Chad took a moment to connect amidst the flurry of wedding preparations. In the quiet of their separate hotel rooms, they exchanged heartfelt handwritten love notes — a tradition that allowed them to reflect on their relationship and set a meaningful tone for the day ahead.
Choosing the Union League Club as their venue was an easy decision. Situated in the heart of downtown Chicago, the Union League Club offered historic architecture, impeccable service, and a sophisticated ambiance. To ensure their guests felt just as cared for, Amanda and Chad arranged a wedding block at the club, offering a seamless and luxurious experience for everyone in attendance.
The design of the wedding was a testament to the couple’s appreciation for classic beauty. A palette of white florals and lush greenery brought an air of understated romance to the venue, creating a refined yet inviting atmosphere. Every detail was thoughtfully planned and expertly executed by BWeddings, ensuring a flawless celebration.
Though steeped in tradition, Amanda and Chad’s wedding was anything but ordinary. From their love story’s serendipitous beginnings to the elegant details that defined their day, the celebration was a beautiful reflection of their enduring connection and impeccable taste.
