West Suburban Wedding Showcase returns to CityGate Centre

Romance takes center stage this February as newly engaged couples explore wedding resources under one roof at CityGate Hospitality’s annual West Suburban Wedding Showcase. The free event runs 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Sunday, Feb. 22, at Hotel Arista, 2139 CityGate Ln. in Naperville.

Co-hosted by award-winning venues Hotel Arista and CityGate Grille, the showcase features local florists, photographers, entertainers, and providers of linens, lighting and draping. Guests can enter raffles for unique prizes and the Hotel Arista team will be available for on-site tours of indoor and outdoor event spaces across CityGate Centre’s 31 acres. Visitors also can view guest rooms at the Forbes-recommended AAA Four Diamond hotel and stop by its Forbes Four Star spa.

“Planning a wedding can be overwhelming,” said Katie Jones, CityGate Hospitality’s wedding designer and catering manager. “Our showcase is a fun, low-stress way for couples to find the best resources to bring their dream wedding to life.”

Advance registration at HotelArista.com is encouraged. Registered guests who check in at the event will be automatically entered in raffles hosted by exhibitors.
