Illinois Wedding Venues, Wedding Venues in Illinois

Illinois offers some amazing wedding venues. Known as the “Prairie State", its diverse landscape includes farmland, forests, rolling hills, and wetlands. The state also has soaring skyscrapers, booming industry, and abundant agriculture. The metropolis of Chicago, located along the shores of Lake Michigan, has (by far!) the largest population and number of potential wedding venues in Illinois. There are fantastic options in both the city and its suburbs, as well as in Springfield, the state’s capital. One important thing to keep in mind when choosing an Illinois wedding venue is the weather. The climate varies widely throughout the year, resulting in hot, humid summers and cold winters. Regardless of potential weather issues, Illinois offers couples a perfect path to start their new lives together.

Traditional Wedding Venues in Illinois

Brides and grooms will discover plenty of wedding venues in Illinois. If you’ve always dreamed of a big city wedding, be sure to explore the metropolitan areas where you’ll find just about everything under the sun. If you prefer a more rural setting, you can always opt to tie the knot in a gorgeous garden, rustic barn, or romantic vineyard. (And let’s face it – that doesn’t sound too bad, either!)

The region’s most abundant wedding venues include hotels and banquet halls. Many of these sites offer all-inclusive wedding packages, which can save busy couples a lot of time and hassle. Country club weddings are also quite prevalent. Given the absolute wonder of the Chicago skyline, finding a rooftop wedding venue in Illinois may be appealing for those who appreciate a good view. A lakefront or beach wedding is another delightful venue option for those drawn to the water. There are also plenty of restaurants and museums across the state available to host your big day. Narrowing down venue preferences can be challenging, so it’s always a good idea to your Wedding Budget first and to develop a realistic idea of which venue(s) you can afford.

Illinois Wedding Venues: Selecting "The One"

After deciding on which venues interest you most, it’s time to visit the most likely ones. This is the fun part! Before you go, make an appointment with the venue’s event coordinator to ensure you’ll get all your questions answered. Be sure to find out if the venue is available on your preferred date(s) and how many wedding guests can be accommodated. If you’re planning to hold your ceremony at the same site as your reception, ask to see potential set up options for both. Don’t forget to find out if outside wedding vendors are allowed. Some couples prefer for all the event details to be taken care of for them onsite, while others would rather build their event from scratch.
