Answer

The Rookery is an architectural gem originally designed by John Wellborn Root and Daniel Burnham in 1886. After opening as the post-fire City Hall in 1888, it underwent a redesign by Frank Loyd Wright in 1907. Already known as architectural masterpiece worldwide, Wright modernized the first two floors further elevating The Rookery’s prestige. Today, recognized nationally as a historical landmark, we are thrilled to celebrate our love in a place so unique and eternal.
