Grad season is here 🎓

A celebration built around the details—custom drink wall pours, playful retro-inspired signage, and interactive stations throughout. From a build-your-own salad bar to late-night bites and a dessert display filled with mini shortcakes, macarons, and chocolate treats, every element felt intentional.

All tied together with a statement cake and a “next adventure” moment for what’s ahead.

120 years of impact, innovation, and community

We had the honor of catering The Chicago Lighthouse’s 120th Anniversary Gala at the Art Institute of Chicago — an evening that brought together meaningful storytelling, thoughtful hospitality, and celebration in one unforgettable setting.

From passed bites and beautifully plated courses to cocktails in the Modern Wing surrounded by art and city views, every detail was designed to reflect the energy and significance of the night.

A celebration of legacy, impact, and the people helping shape what’s next.

Where Pokémon meets Paleontology ⚡️🦴

The Pokémon Fossil Museum officially makes its North American debut on May 22, bringing together the worlds of Pokémon and paleontology in one immersive experience. From fossil Pokémon to real specimens like SUE the T. rex, the exhibit blends nostalgia, science, and discovery in a way that feels completely unique.

We had the chance to help bring the opening to life earlier this week—and now it’s almost your turn to experience it. 👀

Step into 1893 ✨

Inspired by the Chicago World’s Fair, this immersive evening transformed The Old Post Office into a modern-day exposition filled with vintage glamour, theatrical entertainment, larger-than-life installations, and Chicago-inspired culinary experiences. From glowing midway moments and historic nods to elevated dining stations and immersive design details, every corner was built to transport guests through time.

A celebration of innovation, imagination, and the magic of Chicago history brought back to life for one night only.

Soft light, fresh blooms, and a love that feels like spring.

This Garfield Park Conservatory wedding embraced the season in the most effortless way—lush greenery, airy florals, and delicate custom details that let the space speak for itself. From the sunlit ceremony to the romantic garden reception, every moment felt light, intentional, and full of life.

A perfect reminder that spring weddings don’t need to be overdone—just beautifully in bloom.
