There are truly not enough words to describe how much I loved The Market for our wedding. It was everything AND more. You truly truly don't need much with their bowtruss room either.

There are NOT enough chairs for people and for the chairs that are there, people think that they can save chairs for friends, leaving needed chairs that aren't being used. I ran into a couple who were visiting our city and the gentleman told me that his wife was feeling dizzy and he couldn't get a chair for her to sit just for 5 minutes. People couldn't show her a little compassion which gave "Rockford City Market" a black eye! There needs to be more chairs and "NO...
