The bride Alexandra Coxe, is absolutely stunning…and the groom,Donnie Fitzgarrald, cut a dashing figure also!

The Gold Coast Room looked like a fairy tale, transformed into an atmosphere of NOSTALGIC ELEGANCE by Chicago Florist HEFFERNAN AND MORGAN.

The cocktail hour , in The French Room, was beautiful.

THE BRADLEY YOUNG ORCHESTRA provided lively,upbeat jazz with THE BRADLEY YOUNG JAZZ ENSEMBLE, with Bradley at the piano,accompanied by a quartet of bass, drums, sax,and violin….a very COOL, SEXY look and sound for cocktail hour!

Then the doors opened into the magnificent Gold Coast Room, as the guests came in to the sounds of BRADLEY YOUNG’S HOUSE OF RHYTHM, featuring the full horn section,violins,and fabulous vocalists EDDIE VICTORIAN, NANETTE FRANK, BYRON WOODS, and PAM BRADLEY.

The bride and groom were introduced, played into the room with a rousing FANFARE, and immediately went into their first dance, which set a DRAMATIC and FUN tone for the party and encouraged guests to dance between the courses (this is sometimes called “NEW YORK STYLE”.)

THE DRAKE HOTEL did a fantastic job as always, serving a DELICIOUS 5 course meal.

After dinner, HOUSE of RHYTHM kicked it up with a JAW DROPPING MIX of Sinatra, Classic Motown, Latin, Swing, 70s, 80s, 90s, and Current CLUB GROOVES that had this CHICAGO WEDDING BURNIN’ NON STOP til the bride and groom finally decided to chill with their friends in their bridal suite!(It was around 2 am when they left the GOLD COAST ROOM!)
