BE INSPIRED BY LIZ & JEFF’S OWN CANNABIS WEDDING
On a perfect fall afternoon, Liz and Jeff celebrated their love in a stunning ceremony at the Chicago Illuminating Company. Surrounded by family and friends, the couple’s special day was a true reflection of their personalities, featuring gothic undertones, vibrant fall florals, and touches of their love for cannabis, which their guests were able to also enjoy.
LOVE STORY
Liz and Jeff met in the most fitting way: bartending at a music festival in Lincoln Park during the summer of 2019. While both were interested, it was Liz who slid into Jeff’s DMs months later, inviting him to her birthday party. That night, Jeff asked her out, and their first date followed in January 2020. Just weeks later, the world went into lockdown, and their dates turned into long walks in the park, where Jeff introduced Liz to the Marvel franchise. They spent their first holidays together, far from family but starting traditions of their own.
After nearly five years, a couple of dogs, and countless shared festival memories, Jeff proposed to Liz at their favorite Chicago music festival, Riot Fest—a perfect full-circle moment for a love story born in the heart of the city.
THE WEDDING
Liz and Jeff’s wedding took place on a crisp October day at the Chicago Illuminating Company, beginning with an intimate ceremony under the atrium. Liz stunned in a black Jenny Yoo dress with a blusher veil and rose-stitched Doc Martens, while Jeff rocked a burgundy suit and Vans high tops.
After the ceremony, the atrium was transformed into a chic, relaxed reception with sage green velvet curtains, cozy furniture from Bowery & Bash, and stunning florals by Marsh Marie Floral. Guests enjoyed passed hors d’oeuvres, food stations, and a cannabis bar by High Minded Events, all set to a DJ spinning house music. Forgoing traditions like assigned seating or speeches, Liz and Jeff created a celebration as unique and fun as they are.
COUPLE’S REFLECTION ON THEIR High Minded Experience
High Minded Events provided Liz and Jeff with the ultimate cannabis bar experience, perfectly tailored to their wedding day. Guests enjoyed a joint-packing station with custom take-home joint tubes featuring the couple’s wedding date, adding a unique and personal touch. The bar also offered “vapor on tap,” providing three Zencos with dabs available on request. And lastly, the Vapor Xhale was offered to those who were looking to savor the deeper flavours of the flower.
As the day came to a close, Liz & Jeff shared their thoughts on having the unique experience of having a cannabis bar provided by High Minded at their wedding:
“When selecting our cannabis vendor, there was no question — we were choosing High Minded Events. Their elevated style of service and professionalism made everyone, from friends to grandmas, feel comfortable with cannabis. Fancy devices and customized doob tubes were a unique highlight that you don’t see at a traditional wedding. It couldn’t have been more perfect.” —Jeff“
“When we started planning our wedding, we knew we wanted to include a cannabis bar for our guests. High Minded Events was the clear choice to provide the elevated experience we envisioned. Their budtenders were kind and caring, and catered to each guest’s individual comfort level with ease. The personalized joint containers with our names and wedding date were the most fabulous party favor. The High Minded experience is something our guests will be talking about for years to come.” —Liz
