A different gourmet buffet prepared by Wolfgang Puck Catering is served each week, with dishes created using fresh locally-grown produce from the MCA Farmer’s Market. For a more casual evening, bring your own blanket for a relaxing evening on the garden lawn. In case of rain, the event takes place in Puck’s Cafe.
We have been executing hand-to-hand distributions for the past month, including hits at the Green City Market, Taste of Randolph, and Jammin’ at the Zoo. Be sure to grab a handbill which lists the complete schedule of artists performing each night

For centuries, wedding fashion followed everyday fashion. Only recently have brides chosen to eschew contemporary formal wear for styles that directly reference the past. Today, hoop skirts, corsets, sinewy fishtails, long trains, and leg-o-mutton sleeves can all be seen on the aisle, but each style echoes decades past. The Chicago History Museum’s vast costume collection includes a stunning array of wedding attire—for brides, grooms, bridesmaids, and more—that reveals 150 years of fashion favored by Chicago couples. I Do! presents forty-five dresses, plus accessories, corsets, and men’s attire.
In addition to distributing materials throughout the city, we’ll also be passing out handbills at Chicago Bridal Expo events. Be sure to check out the exhibit this summer!
I Do! Chicago Ties the Knot opens at the Chicago History Museum on May 22nd. Please visit www.chicagohs.org for more information.
