Wedding at the Boathouse at Lake Ellyn, Glen Ellyn

The Boathouse at Lake Ellyn in Glen Ellyn hosted a wedding on June 13, 2026, planned around the couple's closest family and friends. About 100 guests attended. The bride wore a short, simple dress, and the whole day followed that lead, with the emphasis on good food and time spent talking rather than on spectacle.

Two artists sketched for four hours in the Runway style, 5x7 inch portraits, and finished 96 of them, which covered nearly everyone in the room.

Guests enjoyed the sketches, and the informal setting meant people could wander over to watch a portrait being drawn and then drift back to their conversations.
