Weddings
For celebrations whereevery detail matters.
Designed for the quiet hours between ceremony and celebration — the cocktail moment at Drury Lane Oakbrook, the late-evening lull at Ruffled Feathers in Lemont, the gathering that follows the first dance at Waterford Banquets. Citrus & Olive brings a composed espresso bar into the architecture of your day, served with the warmth of considered hospitality.
The Espresso Moment
Specialty craftsmanship,woven into the celebration.
Espresso pulled on La Marzocco. Heritage pistachio, orange blossom cardamom, vanilla cold foam — preparations developed with the same care given to the rest of the day. Whether serving twelve guests in an intimate room at Ashton Place or two hundred in a lakeside ballroom, the bar becomes a quiet anchor your guests return to, again and again.

In Their Words
Remembered as part of the day itself.
“Citrus & Olive became one of the most memorable parts of our reception at Lakes at Lacey’s. Our guests loved the espresso bar — it created such a warm, inviting space for everyone to gather. It honestly became a highlight of the evening.”
“The coffee cart was such a hit at my daughter’s birthday. It added such a fun and special touch to our gathering — our guests absolutely loved it.”
Considerations
A few thingscouples ask.
- When in the wedding day does the espresso bar typically serve?
- Most often during the cocktail hour, after dinner, or alongside dessert — whenever the day calls for a warm, gathering moment. We tailor service hours around the timeline your planner has built.
- Do you serve weddings at Drury Lane Oakbrook and Ruffled Feathers in Lemont?
- Yes — both are familiar rooms for us. We have also composed wedding service at Waterford Banquets & Conference Center, Shalimar Banquets, Olive Palace Banquets, Ashton Place in Willowbrook, the Midwest Conference Center in Northlake, and Lakes at Lacey’s, among other Chicagoland venues.
- Do you work at venues throughout Chicagoland?
- Yes. We travel comfortably across the western suburbs, the North Shore, and the city proper — coordinating quietly with each venue’s planner, caterer, and timeline so the espresso service feels like part of the day rather than an outside vendor.
- Can the menu be customized for our wedding?
- Yes. Signature drinks, branded cups, and custom menu cards are part of our standard process. Many couples weave in a drink that mirrors a personal detail of the day.
- How far in advance should we inquire?
- Saturdays in peak wedding season are often spoken for several months ahead. We recommend reaching out as early as your venue and date are confirmed.
