Discover Chicago ballroom venues for rent
If dancing, cocktail socializing, and other standing events are a part of the schedule then why not look at a ballroom venue? Ballrooms are designed with comfortable standing in mind. Traction-enhanced floors, large windows, high ceilings, and spacious interiors provide just the right space for mingling, whirling, and socializing in a comfortable manner.
Chicago has been hosting balls for well over a century and many ballroom venues are as historic as they are gorgeous. Working with these event venues ensures a seamless planning, dance, and dining experience. Most rental venues include everything from tables and chairs to staff that will cater, set up, and clean once the magical evening has finished. All that is left is for you to enjoy the night alongside the guests you've worked so hard to entertain.
Historic hotel ballroom rentals in Chicago
Historic hotels immerse guests in the story of the Windy City even as they dance, drink, and savor the event's cuisine. One of our favorite luxury ballrooms in Chicago is at the Hilton, located on South Michigan Ave. For a classic atmosphere the Hilton's Grand Ballroom is the obvious choice. With 12,000 square feet of interior space you have room for over 1,000 guests in a seated arrangement. 34 foot tall ceilings are decorated in intricate frescoes and chandeliers while the floor is covered in an elegant carpet. The International Ballroom is even bigger, trading historic atmosphere for a more contemporary style in an even larger setting. 21,000 sq. ft. and room for hundreds more beyond the Grand Ballroom make this the venue of choice for major scale events.
Ballrooms in the Gold Coast neighborhood offer luxurious surroundings just outside of the core of downtown. One setting worth a look is The Drake Hotel's Grand Ballroom, built in the Roaring 20's to accommodate the nation's love for The Charleston. The Drake offers three additional spaces for balls, dinners and dances, each one as historic and stunningly decorated as the others.
Find gala and large party venues in Chicago
Ballrooms are home to not only weddings but also galas and other major parties and fundraising events. Galas should provide additional space for speakers to take the stage on occasion. That way, auctions, announcements, and other gala events are seen and appreciated in a professional manner. Gala and large party venues should be well equipped technologically to facilitate the evening's schedule. Ensure that your rental includes audio-visual technology, projectors, ceiling mounted lights, video cameras, and other accessories for a smooth running party.
