Beautiful garden wedding venues in Chicago
For classic appeal it's hard to beat the Chicago Botanic Garden as a venue location. Hanging baskets of peonies swaying above the dance floor, cultivated mature trees, and cobblestone walkways offer an elegant experience you won't soon forget. Local produce, culinary masterpieces, and an assortment of drink, decor, and locations to choose from makes this the most flexible of garden spaces in the area. Just because your wedding is in Chicago doesn't mean you can't have greenery. Even in the dead of winter.
