Floating World Gallery Wins Wedding Wire’s Editors’ Picks: Wedding Venues for Art Lovers

Beautiful original music

April 24, 2014

After a Thai “Water Ceremony” in the “Glass Brick Room” and an amazing dinner in the “Main Gallery” provided by Fig Catering, everyone then returned to the “Glass Brick Room” where Chris sang an original song to his new bride, Tess. Not a dry eye in the house. The remainder of the evening was filled with dancing and grand celebrating .

Not one, but two of the most beautiful brides you have ever seen

October 2, 2013

Last Saturday, Serina and Lauren had a beautiful ceremony and fabulous party at Floating World Gallery. The main gallery was “decked out to the nines” with their own decor’ and personal photographs. They litterally made the gallery appear as if it were their own. The personal touches will make this beautiful event memorable.
Once again, Kitty and her team from Hearty Boys Catereing, pulled off an unbelievable assortment of buffet station items. And Serina’s mother, “Nana” personally made 19 different deserts. What a beautiful celebration and party.

Christine and Craigs Pintrest Wedding

September 10, 2013

Christine and Craig had a beautiful DIY wedding with the assistance of Art of Imagination. 140 of their guests assembled in the main portion of the “raw urban” gallery for a lovely and personal ceremony. Immediately following, everyone gathered in the “Glass Brick Room” for a cocktail reception while Catered by Design, flipped the main gallery for a stunningly beautiful buffet lay-out. Craig even served a beer that was his own creation.

Tess and Chris have a Thai “Water Ceremony”.

August 1, 2013

Tess and Chris elected to do all of their own decorating for their wedding, reception and Thai water ceremony. The gallery and “Glass Brick Room” looked absolutely stunning. We promise there will be photos to follow.
Molly and her amazing crew from Fig Catering, once again didn’t fail to deliver. They continue to be on top of their game.

Melissa and T.Sean’s Lincoln Park Wedding

July 17, 2013

Melissa and T. Sean had a perfect and glorious day for their ceremony and reception at Floating World Gallery. Melissa planned and wrote out the entire ceremony. It was moving beyond measure. One specific touch, which I had never seen before, was the placement of a box on the altar, with a bottle of fine wine in it. The officiant then describes how it will be used. Both the bride and groom place a letter in the box with the fine wine in it. The letter is to contain their feelings for each-other at this time just prior to their wedding.
Then, the first time they have a major argument or misunderstanding, they are to break open the bottle of wine, share it and read each-others letters to each-other. What a wonderful idea !

New Pipe and Drape !

July 3, 2013

Kelly and Victor had a beautiful ceremony in the main gallery. Kelly made her entrance directly from the back of her limo. After 4 of the cutest flower girls anyone can possibly imagine walked down the isle, Kelly made her way down the isle to greet her new husband. It was beautiful.
After the ceremony, everyone made their way to ‘The Glass Brick Room”, where Floating World Gallery was able to debut their brand new “pipe and drape”. It is a gorgeous ivory “velvet gliss” that will be beautifully accented by any light treatment you choose to accompany it. We promise photos to follow soon.

WOW ! What a Bash !

June 18, 2013

Saturday, Ashley and Kaitlin exchanged vows at Cloud Gate at Millennium Park in front of close friends and family. Then the party started. Everyone met at Floating World Gallery for an “all out Mexican Fiesta” ! Replete with a full Mariachi band. Millennium Decorations & Catering took full advantage of the gallery’s “blank canvas” of the raw loft space to create a beautiful and authentic Fiesta.

Emily and Derrick have their Lincoln Park Wedding

June 11, 2013

Emily and Derrick had a gorgeous wedding and reception in Lincoln Parks new premiere event space. Deborah Weisenhaus and her brilliant team did an elaborate pipe and drape in the main gallery for the ceremony and created a flawless “urban-chic” vibe in the “Glass Brick Room” for dancing and cocktails after dinner.
And in typical fashion, Gabi and her team from Harry Caray’s, provided a flawless sit down dinner for 120 guests.
