Conway Farms Golf Club Wedding

A Romantic Tented Wedding at Conway Farms Golf Club, Lake Forest

Conway Farms is a venue that rewards ambition. Jordan and Chris brought plenty of it.

The clear top tent opened the celebration up to the Lake Forest sky, and from there every design decision was made in service of that setting. Draping along every pole and beam brought warmth and romance into the structure, while Frost Lighting layered the atmosphere beautifully — subtle washes building toward striking chandeliers, each one encircled with florals by Life in Bloom. The arrangements were so lush they were nearly too heavy to hang. Nearly.

The florals and lighting worked in concert throughout the evening, creating a look that felt considered at every level — the kind of design that photographs beautifully and feels even better in person.

Woven quietly into the celebration was the couple’s own story. Jordan and Chris share deep ties to professional hockey — Chris as a coach, Jordan as a professional player. Their custom wedding crest featured a subtle pair of hockey sticks at the base, an understated but meaningful nod to the world they share and the path that brought them together.

An exceptional venue, exacting design, and a love story with real character: evenings like this one are why we do what we do.
