Rare Bird Beauties & Nova Bella  ·  2026

HolidayParty

Tuesday, December 8 | 6:30 PM

2248 W Grand Ave, Chicago

Karaoke, an open bar, and the first proper party in our new studio.

RSVP

Saying thank you is even better in person.

Another full year of weddings is behind us, and not one of them happened on its own. Every 5am alarm, every extra bridesmaid who turned up with no warning, every updo that held through heat and a rooftop wind, that was you.

This year Nova Bella bloomed out of that same work. It did not arrive from somewhere else, it grew here, out of the extraordinarily high standard this team holds on every wedding they work. We opened the new studio on Grand this year too, and December 8 will be the first time the whole team is standing in it at once.

So come eat, come drink, and come take the mic. The singing is the best part of the night, every year. We would like to close out the year the way it ought to be closed out, which is together, and loudly.

With real gratitude, Jen and Ioana

Karaoke

Two mics and no judgment. Put your song in the form and it will be queued.

Open bar

Wine, beer and cocktails, poured for you all night long.

Food

Catered, with plenty for everyone. Come hungry.

RSVP

Your name and number, so we can count heads and reach you that night.

We need a name for the list.

A ten digit mobile number, please.

We put your guest on the list by name.

You're on the list.

See you at 2248 on December 8.
