Frequently Asked Questions




Discover exclusive micro wedding venues in Chicago

Even though a wedding is a once-in-a-lifetime event, you need not make it a stressful affair. Sometimes a large wedding feels unmanageable - or you simply prefer something more intimate. Micro weddings and elopements are all the rage these days and having to coordinate a smaller guest list is easy on the mind - and the wallet.
Smaller wedding venues are also more plentiful here in Chicago. Whether you prefer an elopement held at your favorite restaurant or a rustic micro wedding in the countryside the options are truly endless.

The best places to have a micro wedding in Chicago

Small scale wedding venues in Chicago provide all of the romance and luxury of larger venues without the cost or overwhelm. Most provide event staff, catering, photographers, flower vendors, and everything else you'd expect from a massive venue. Many are set in the heart of downtown, with loads of micro wedding venues available for rent in historic hotels, rooftop bars, and lakeside lofts.
For an intimate dinner with family and guests there's few better venues to pick than a fine dining establishment like Salvatore's. Situated on a quiet street in Lincoln Park, the event venue serves Italian food in luxury surroundings. With space for 220 guests, it is ideally sized for small to medium sized weddings. And as delightful as the interior decor is, you and your guests also have full access to an outdoor patio and garden.
What if your wedding is even smaller? A true micro-wedding of 50 or fewer guests? Look into the former factories turned loft wedding venues like Charcoal Factory Loft. This Northside event space is truly a work of art. Having been converted into an American Institute of Architects award-winning home, the renovators were committed to preserving as much of the original charcoal factory as possible. While enhancing the splendor of its ambience. Massive original factory windows allow abundant natural light to filter in, timber beams in the soaring ceilings, and tasteful decor make this the best urban chic space to get married at.

Have your micro wedding in the Chicago suburbs

If the big city is too busy and loud for your dream wedding try holding it in the suburbs. Chicagoland is a big place and venues like Ravina in Highland Park offer spacious grounds that would be impossible to have for yourself in the big city. 36 acres of manicured grounds are available for you and your guests to explore. Normally reserved for summer and fall concerts, the grounds provide a peaceful backdrop to an intimate affair. Chicago weddings can be as quiet and intimate as you wish.
