Recently engaged and looking to plan a Chicago wedding. Has anyone been (as a guest) to a venue in the city that was memorable?

I’ve been to weddings at the Shedd Aquarium, Adler Planetarium, Museum of Science and Industry, and Field Museum. Those are all great venues but my personal favorite was Shedd Aquarium because I could make jokes about the live seafood for dinner.

Yes, plenty. And congrats! If you don’t know the city, hire a wedding planner or even just start with your florist (the better ones have likely been everywhere and knows prices of locations)

Thank you! Any specific venues you liked?

What is your budget? There are tons of venues!

160 guests at the peninsula is well over $100K. I got married there too

We got married at the Walden and would recommend.

Got married at Sofitel, would highly recommend. With some lighting and decorations, their venue felt magical. Also, all my guests raved about the food and people from out of town appreciated the proximity to touristy stuff

Got married at The Ivy Room and it was SO great! Highly recommend, the venue and food were phenomenal.

Trying to keep it on the cheaper end with a max rent of 1,500, but given our line of work I can bump that up if the place is nice enough to justify the cost. Thanks in advance!
