This year, we had the pleasure of both sponsoring and participating in the North Side Wedding Walk (NSWW). In short, NSWW is a next level bridal show, it  will give you an exclusive, behind-the-scenes look at some of Chicago’s best wedding venues, all while enjoying food, drinks, and goodies along the way. Each venue will be fully set up as if it were a real wedding, allowing you to envision your own celebration in each space. With top-notch Chicago wedding vendors at every stop, you'll also be able to meet and chat with professionals who could be a part of your big day.

Here’s the best part: transportation is included! You won’t have to worry about navigating between venues—shuttles will be provided to ensure you can fully enjoy your afternoon without any hassle.



Now that you have an idea of what NSWW is, let’s dive back to the venue that we participated in - The Joinery Chicago.
