Girls Weekend Getaway!

September 4, 2012

We are thrilled to be working with a fabulous client on her “Almost 40th Birthday Celebration” here in the city! Along with 11 of her closest friends the birthday girl is flying in from the East Coast for a girls weekend getaway and while they are in town they would like to do what girls do best… shop, have cocktails & dinner, and possibly see a comedy show! While in Chicago, they will be staying at the W Lakeshore and enjoying all the amenities it has to offer including stunning lake views, a relaxing spa, and the heavenly beds! The W Lakeshore has been a popular spot for many of our brides to get ready at for their big day and host their wedding receptions..
