Places to Rock Your Wedding


There are hundreds of places you could choose to get married in Chicago. There are museums, rock clubs, shady alleyways, that rooftop you snuck onto last week after a few too many beers... How's a girl or guy to pick?

We got you. Here's a list of a few of our favorites:

The Bottom Lounge, West Loop. A kick-ass rock bar with an upstairs & balcony for private parties. They can make it as rock or clean as you want. They also have bonuses like an amazing staff, a photo booth and pinball machines you can use. Score!

Garfield Park Conservatory, Garfield Park. One of the most gorgeous botanical gardens Chicago can boast in the city proper. The Horticulture Hall is the perfect location for an intimate ceremony & reception with the showers of greenery all around you and the arching greenhouse windows - even in the winter! And if you don't mind planning ahead with the city applications, it's pretty affordable.

Architectural Artifacts, Ravenswood. A kitschy 3-floor collection of antiques that include a piano you can use, antique stained glass windows and a floor full of vintage couches and chairs for wandering guests who want to cuddle makes this place rule for a large gathering. And with access to the back patio, you can even have an outdoor ceremony (potentially on a merry-go-round!) without having to figure out transportation for guests from one location to another.

Prairie Production, West Loop. This photo studio by day/event space by night is the perfect location for the couple with a vision. Their open loft space is white & concrete with a ridiculously high ceiling and equally tall all-glass wall, leaving you to fill this blank canvas with your wildest dreams. Extra bonuses: outdoor patio for smoking guests, you can bring in your own liquor and the owners are some of the most reasonable people in the events industry.
