A Delicious & Sophisticated June Wedding at Sky on Nine
June is the month of timeless weddings, and G +S’s celebration at Sky on Nine was the perfect example of how classic romance meets modern elegance. After a heartfelt ceremony at a local church in the Chicagoland suburbs, the couple, along with over 200 of their closest friends and family, headed to Sky on Nine in Rosemont, IL, for an evening of gourmet dining, dancing, and unforgettable penthouse views.
A Chic Start to the Celebration
As guests arrived, they were welcomed into a warm and inviting cocktail hour with stunning views and luxe decor. The evening began with passed hors d’oeuvres that delighted both the eyes and the palate, including:
Bourbon BBQ Chicken Skewers topped with green onions
Charcuterie Cones filled with aged meats, cheeses, dried fruits, and artisan crackers
Tomato Soup Shooters topped with mini grilled cheese garnishes
Ceviche Mexicano Cups with shrimp, poblano peppers, tomato, cilantro, and avocado
Guests sipped signature cocktails and mingled among the modern ambiance of Sky on Nine, accented by the venue’s signature crystal chandeliers and a stunning setup of white and soft blue florals by Shamrock Garden Florist.
A Four-Course Feast with a View
Dinner was a standout experience curated by LM Catering & Events, offering guests a beautifully plated four-course meal. The menu reflected seasonal sophistication and impeccable taste:
Starter: Grilled Peach Spinach Salad with pistachios, goat cheese, lemon dressing, and grilled peaches
Pasta Course: Pesto Fettuccine with fresh basil and shaved parmesan
Entrée Selections:
Faroe Island Salmon with carrot and saffron purée, crisp aubergine chips, and saffron butter

Dancing Under the Chandeliers
Following dinner and heartfelt toasts, the celebration hit a high note as the couple took to the dance floor. With live entertainment by the energetic and talented Maggie Speaks, the room came alive. Guests danced well into the night, surrounded by beautiful floral arrangements, glowing chandeliers, and the joy of a truly unforgettable celebration. As the party rolled on, guests were treated to a nostalgic and satisfying late-night bite at The Ball Park Station, a fun, crowd-pleasing snack setup featuring build-your-own mini Chicago hot dogs, mini Italian beef sandwiches with sweet peppers and giardiniera, deep-dish pizza from Lou Malnati’s, and warm soft pretzels served with mustard and beer cheese.
