Instead of a traditional ceremony set-up, we did a Chuppah in the round, with guests on all sides.
The couple was literally surrounded by family and friends!
With little dinos on the cover, even the programs gave a nod to the extra special and unique venue.
As the newlyweds recessed down the aisle, they passed under the traditional sword arch, welcomed by the groom's military buddies.

A room with a view - guests dined with the elephants and Maximo the Titanosaur.
Luxurious blue velvet linens with tall manzanita tree centerpieces made for a gorgeous tablescape.
Artwork of the Chicago skyline served as a beautiful guestbook that can be hung in their home.
A POW/MIA table honored those who have served our country.
'90s Cover Band "As If" kept the dance floor packed.
(Can you spot a rare appearance by yours truly in the background? Clipboard always in hand!)
Bride & Groom stormtroopers were guarding the sweets table!
Congratulations to Lara and Brett!
