Find cozy cottage rentals Near Chicago
A wedding in the city of Chicago is often a massive, noisy urban affair. Towering skyscrapers, 1800's mansions, and contemporary party halls all cry out for your attention. But there's no reason why you can't have a quiet, rustic experience in a cozy cottage with a few of your favorite people. Micro weddings, elopements, and intimate weddings are all the rage. They are affordable, easier to plan, and most of all, unique ways to celebrate the start of a new chapter in life.
Cottage rentals come by the hour and by the day. They are scattered throughout Chicagoland, with many of our favorites sitting right along the shoreline of Lake Michigan. Lakeside cottages offer beach access and unforgettable views of the skyline from a distance. Other cottages are downtown, suburban, or rural. Rural cottages give guests a country wedding atmosphere without having to drive more than a couple of hours away from downtown. Many are even on working farms or vineyards, so animals, handcrafted furniture, and tasty drinks can be worked into the wedding experience.
Rustic cottage venues for weddings in Chicago
Rustic cottages differ from contemporary cottages by emphasizing historic elements in their construction. Instead of hiding wooden ceiling beams they are emphasized and exposed as they would be in a historic cottage. Brick or wooden walls may be exposed as well rather than plastered over, heightening the feeling of sitting in a rustic space. The decor options you select will also affect this feeling. Mason jars, cut flowers, pinecones, branches, cornucopias of produce -- seek out natural elements and you're sure to hit the right notes for a rustic wedding experience.
Explore Chicago cottage venues with outdoor space
As one of America's most urban cities you might not expect to find a cottage venue with much outdoor space in Chicagoland. Yet nothing could be further from the truth. In fact, Chicago cottages tend to be blessed with beautiful, well manicured gardens, courtyards, fountains, and other outdoor elements. All of which heighten their romantic appeal as wedding venues.
Many Chicago cottages were built long before sprawl overtook their surroundings. At the time of construction they were countryside retreats for businessmen and families working in the Big City. While these cottages are suburban at best now they still preserve much of the surrounding property. Acres of meadows and gardens are a luxury in Chicagoland. These venues offer a great way for newlyweds to enjoy their favorite people in a quiet setting without driving hours into the countryside.
