Chicago, Illinois, is home to some of the densest urban architecture in the country. Yet it's also one of the best places to have a wedding. Urban areas blend seamlessly with local parks and waterfront regions. Discerning newlyweds have an endless set of choices to explore.
One of the most historic
outdoor venues in Chicago is the Glessner House, located in Chicago's South Loop neighborhood along historic Prairie Avenue. Built in the 19th century during the Gilded Age, the mansion features a conservatory and dance floor for up to 200 guests. The Glessner House is on The National Register of Historic Places and offers an excellent blend of indoor and outdoor beauty.
For a Chicago wedding venue with an outdoor patio, Lacuna Events offers their SkyDeck. Their Reverie Gallery's indoor displays from local artists and industrial timber loft architecture are a real treat. But what better way to celebrate a Chicago romance than taking in the skyline from the top of the building?
Botanical garden weddings in Chicago are becoming more popular as well. The Chicago Botanic Garden offers serene waterfalls, summer breezes scented by blossoms, and your choice in ceremony locations. Many of the best Chicago garden wedding venues offer tree lined avenues, rose gardens, and floral archways, to get your imagination going.
