Corey & Simon’s Dreamy Adler Planetarium Wedding

Love really is magic when it’s shared under the stars, and Corey and Simon’s Adler Planetarium wedding was the epitome of such magic. Chicago’s Adler Planetarium, America’s first planetarium, not only serves as a hub of inspiring the next generation of space explorers, but also as one of the city’s prettiest wedding spaces. With its magnificent views of the skyline and Lake Michigan, it was just the right spot for an opulent wedding spectacle. A Ceremony with a View

The bride and groom exchanged vows before the floor-to-ceiling windows, with the Chicago skyline looking on. Natural light poured in, bathing gorgeous floral arrangements from Flowers by KH and the sleek, modern lines of planetarium architecture. Guests were captivated by the sense of romance that blended perfectly with city cool and heaven-sent beauty of the Adler Planetarium. Rabbi Natalie Young performed the ceremony, filling it with a religious and personal sense of meaning.

A Reception Among the Stars

Guests were led into a reception area that was nothing less than amazing after the ceremony. Pink and blue uplighting lent emphasis to the space’s stunning architectural lines, while candle-lit tables lent a warm, inviting glow. Fashionable ghost chairs and sleek black linens lent a chic, sophisticated edge to the evening, echoing the planetarium’s modern lines. One of the strongest attractions of the reception was the moonlight installation, and the starry touch to the event. Food For Thought catering supplied opulent flavors on the tables, and Sweet Mandy B’s bakery made opulent desserts. Shake Shack supplied late-night snacks during the evening hours—allowing everyone for the raucous dance floor.

Wedding Bar by Tablescapes Event Rentals

No Adler Planetarium wedding is complete without a bar to match the grandeur of space. For Corey and Simon’s event, Tablescapes Event Rentals supplied the wedding bar fronts and added a stylish, sophisticated centerpiece to cocktail hour and the night to come. The wedding bar was a must-have element for maintaining the party atmosphere and the coursing of drinks, with signature drinks such as Moscow Mules wowing guests all through the night. An intelligently designed wedding bar rental is not merely practical—it’s a decorating piece that adds to the atmosphere, and that’s precisely what Tablescapes provided. 

A Night of Celebration

As the night unfolded, the energy was electric. Guests danced under the stars—both projected in the Adler’s immersive dome and twinkling in the Chicago night sky just beyond the glass walls. Entertainment was top-notch with New Groove keeping the live music flowing, DJ sets by H.Y.P.E. Productions Inc., and a lively photo booth by Shutterbox Entertainment. From a live saxophonist to hora dancing, Corey and Simon’s wedding was filled with unforgettable moments of joy, laughter, and connection.
