Celebrating Love and Community
Wedtoberfest 2023, the unique beer and bubbly wedding expo, was nothing short of a spectacular event. Set against the vibrant backdrop of Chicago, this year’s expo brought together over 50 diverse wedding vendors and breweries, creating an unforgettable experience for all who attended. The event was more than just a celebration of love and matrimony; it was a testament to the power of community and giving back.
A Toast to Giving Back
One of our favorite parts of Wedtoberfest is our ability to give back to the community. We proudly announce that the event raised over $2,000 for The People for Community Recovery. This local Chicago non-profit is dedicated to environmental justice, and the funds will greatly aid its mission of creating sustainable and healthy communities.
Fashion Meets Acrobatics
A major highlight of the expo was our impromptu fashion show. The talented performers of Yes Ma’am Circus infused the event with energy and grace, showcasing the latest in bridal wear. The dresses from Bricolage Bridal were nothing short of stunning, adding an elegant touch to the dynamic performance. This fusion of fashion and acrobatics was a feast for the eyes and an innovative way to present bridal trends.
