Frequently Asked Questions




Find beautiful engagement party venues in Chicago

Congratulations on your upcoming wedding! An engagement party to announce and celebrate the wedding is the next step. Traditionally, an engagement party is a dinner or cocktail party held at one's home, a restaurant, or bar. Dress should be on the formal side, with food to match. Global international cuisine, street brunch fare, New American…There are so many dining and venue options for an engagement party.
That said, an engagement party can be whatever you wish! If you want a casual affair at a speakeasy, that's entirely your business. Chicago engagement parties cover a wide spectrum of possibilities. Historic Gold Coast mansions, rooftop cocktail bars, Mediterranean restaurants with marble floors, lakeside ballrooms…Your choices in Chicago are truly endless.

The best places to have an engagement party in Chicago

For an intimate wedding, micro-wedding, or elopement, look into small but scenic venues. Restaurants that specialize in a particular cuisine often decorate to match the setting. Italian, Cantonese, French, and Brazilian steakhouse restaurants are just a few of the venues we'd recommend for an elegant engagement party with food to match the occasion.
Outdoor venues are another surefire hit when the weather cooperates. Summer winds, gentle sunshine, whispering fountains, and an outdoor garden patio surrounded by a vine-covered pavilion offer a perfect setting. Many restaurants, cafes, and bars allow you to combine indoor and outdoor events, granting guests the option of enjoying either space as the mood strikes them. Interior dining for seated comfort, followed by a drink and conversation outdoors where its quieter are a timeless party formula.
Banquet halls and larger restaurants are experienced in managing events for bigger engagement parties. The event hall will provide enough seating to fill the venue, as well as catering, staff, and other essentials. Freeing you up to enjoy your time with your favorite people and dream of your upcoming wedding.

Discover engagement party rooftops in Chicago

What better way to celebrate an impending wedding than to hold an engagement party on a rooftop, surrounded by your favorite people? The venue is perfect if you want the city of Chicago to play a big role in the theme of your wedding. Skyscrapers, glittering skyline views, cool breezes, and distant traffic all merge into the background while guests laugh, love, and congratulate you for your upcoming nuptials. Rooftop venues are even a good choice in the winter as many restaurants and rooftop bars offer heated domes. You can sit and enjoy people's company with ease while keeping winter's chill at bay.
