Morgan & Zoltan - Gorgeous Summer Odyssey Chicago River Cruise Intimate Wedding

May 21, 2020

Greetings from 2020!

In case you weren’t aware, small weddings (under fifty guests) are suddenly all the rage and brought to mind one of my all-time favorite intimate weddings!!

Morgan and Zoltan; I just love these guys.

They are a phenomenally cool couple who - endearingly - don’t take themselves too seriously, in spite of the awesomeness they bring to the table. Easy on the eyes, excellent senses of humors, a passion for travelling, the beautiful city they call home and, of course, each other. It just doesn’t get any more perfect for each other than these two :-).

These guys - being the fabulously low-key pair they are - opted to have an incredibly unique and utterly gorgeous wedding. Firstly, it was a Tuesday, people. A TUESDAY! I love it so much

They celebrated the beginning of their adventure with their nearest and dearest - family only - on board the stunning Odyssey River Cruise Boat and I was immediately obsessed with this venue. Morgan opted to have lush garlands of greenery accented with a purple orchid every so often. Candles, mimosas, bloody marys, delicious food: sign me up.

The Odyssey is an AMAZING option for a smaller wedding! Can’t decide on which fabulous view of the city you’d like to gaze at on your wedding day?! Never fear! Just hop aboard the Odyssey and you and your guests can feast your eyes on all of Chicago’s most incredible spots.

Thank you, Morgan and Zoltan. I’m so grateful to have been a part of this perfect day!

Venue: Chicago Odyssey River Cruise
