The Bridal Tour Chicago
This first-ever affair doesn't call itself a show, rather a "tour" showcasing some of Chicago's best traditional and non-traditional wedding vendors and venues — but not under one roof. A limo bus will take you around to see different reception spaces while you chill with some bubbly. After that, you'll all head back to Loft on Lake for signature cocktails, nosh, and more. As if that wasn't awesome enough, you'll leave with an amazing swag bag filled with grooming goodies, too.

When: Sunday, March 3 starting at 9 a.m. (when the limo bus leaves)
Where: Loft on Lake,1366 West Lake Street (between Ada and Loomis streets); 312-738-2437.
Tickets: Can be purchased here and cost $30 for the bride, $50 for the bride and groom, $10 for guests.
