Discover unique rehearsal dinner venues in Chicago
Now that you've held a wedding rehearsal with the guests of honor and the soon to be wed couple, it's time to celebrate with a laid-back dinner before the actual wedding. A rehearsal dinner is traditional in the USA and gives the bride and groom's family members, friends, and other guests a chance to get to know each other better. As well as exchange gifts and discuss their joy for tomorrow's events.
A rehearsal dinner can be held just about anywhere, including in one's home. But for anything larger than the most intimate of weddings, a home is going to be too small an event venue for a rehearsal dinner. Renting an event space will be far more comfortable for everyone involved and gives you more options when it comes to dining, decor, and location. Is your dream rehearsal dinner set in a lakeside mansion along Chicago's Gold Coast? Or maybe you're envisioning a dinner party on a boat winding underneath canal bridges in the shadow of downtown skyscrapers? The variety of rehearsal dinner venues in Chicago to choose from is truly endless.

The best places for a rehearsal dinner in Chicago
Choose a place that offers private dinner party rentals. Banquet halls, restaurants, rooftop lounges, and event halls are a good place to begin your search.

Chicago has no shortage of dining options ranging from global cuisine and New American to street food and pizza. For a wedding you'll likely want a classy option - and make sure the space you choose is as elegant. From luxurious mansions to urban chic cafes, rehearsal dinner venues in Chicago come in an endless array of styles and budget preferences.
