Committed - Chicago's Only Green Wedding Show!

Committed is a wedding show like no other in Chicago, featuring a collection of Chicago’s most eco-minded wedding vendors – from caterers to planners to photographers to stationery – all members of the Chicago Green Wedding Alliance.

That means you won’t even have to think about choosing eco-conscious vendors for your event, every vendor in the room is as Committed to the environment as you are.

You’ll get a chance to eat delicious food, sip local libations, stop in the photo booth, and jam out to some great tunes, all while feeling great about the decisions you’re making for your wedding. If you’re committed to each other and committed to the environment, this event is for you! 

All are welcome, including wedding vendors that want to learn more about sustainable weddings & events.

Ticket Sales begin December 15th - $25/couple

The Great Wedding Recyclery

A Garage Sale Of Sorts!

Want to give your wedding decor a second life?

Or do you want to make your upcoming wedding eco friendly?

You’ve found your people!

Sellers:

Rent a table and give other engaged people a chance to re-use your once loved wedding decor: candles, signs, arches, glassware, centerpieces, frames, lanterns, whatever wedding related items you have! Offering your items for others puts some cash back in your pocket and allows someone else to re-use your items instead of purchasing new ones. Who knows, maybe they’ll be back next year to pass them along again to the next person!

To rent a table: Fill out a Table Rental Form - Someone will be in touch with the next steps/payment.

Buyers:

This event is traditionally held near Earth Day as a reminder for why the Green Wedding Alliance exists, to help vendors and couples learn more about creating a more sustainable wedding. You can create a beautiful event while also making efforts to lessen its impact.

One way to do that, is to find and salvage used wedding decor! At the Recyclery, you’ll find tables full of all types of wedding related items. Set up much like a garage sale, you can talk with each seller directly about what they have for sale, how many of each, and at prices that can’t be beat! It’s like Facebook marketplace IRL.

If you want dibs on the best stuff, purchase an Early Bird Ticket! This gives you a half hour head start to check everything out. So beat the crowd for just $15 and ensure you get the best chance to get the best stuff! (10:30-11a)

General Admission is just $5 and directly benefits the Green Wedding Alliance, and our mission to create more sustainable weddings. (11a-1p)

To attend: Tickets are available on Eventbrite!

We’ll see you there!
