Stephanie & Dennis’ River Roast Wedding | July 2nd,2016

Stephanie Atella & Dennis O’Neil said their “I Do’s” on Saturday, July 2nd, 2016 at River Roast in Chicago, IL! It was wonderful working with Darcey and the team at River Roast to bring the couple’s lighting and décor vision to life for their Wedding Day!

Stephanie & Dennis’ Wedding Ceremony was held in the Monarch Room. Stephanie made her grand entrance down a beautiful ivory fabric aisle runner. The couple exchanged vows in front of a gorgeous pleated ivory fabric backdrop.

The backdrop’s design included top valences, an elegant center swag and pools of fabric that framed the ceremony altar. The entire backdrop was illuminated in warm amber uplighting which created the perfect romantic ambiance in the Monarch Room!

After the ceremony, guests enjoyed Cocktail Hour on the veranda. The Elegant Event Lighting Team personalized the veranda with five pleated fabric swags that were pulled back toward the brick. Each of the fabric swags were complimented with a hanging crystal chandelier.

For Stephanie & Dennis’ reception in the Murdoch Room, the EEL Chicago Team wrapped the room’s columns in beautiful, pleated floor to ceiling ivory fabric. To highlight the brick walls, the Elegant Event Lighting Team washed the perimeter of the room with warm amber uplighting.

To put the finishing touch on the couple’s custom lighting and décor design, the Elegant Event Lighting Chicago Team created a Café Bistro Light design over the dance floor! The soft amber glow of the lights coordinated perfectly with the uplighting and other décor elements.


Stephanie & Dennis – thank you again for choosing Elegant Event Lighting to be a part of your special day. On behalf of our entire team, we wish you nothing but happiness as you begin your journey as husband and wife!
