They Waited 19 Years For This Day

Luxury Wedding at the Chicago Trump Hotel + Tower!

William + Todd’s wedding ceremony + reception was held at a 5-Star hotel! Wonderfully planned and coordinated by Michelle from Personalized Events by Michelle and amazing decor by Rishi from HMR Designs!

William + Todd have been together for 19 years…and they waited to celebrate their same gender marriage legally in Chicago! I have no doubt they had been dreaming about their wedding for years…they put so much thought and love into their decor! Here’s the Grand Ballroom decorated by HMR Designs for their reception!
