Our Favorite Venue #1

Lacuna Lofts

Lacuna Lofts really is an all-in-one space with the ability to host the getting ready time, ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception! They have two different spaces depending on your guest count with lovely brick walls and an artistic flair. And if you’re looking for a little extra fun, they have a SkyDeck that you can use for your ceremony and cocktail hour that has a perfect view of the city skyline!

Our Favorite Venue #2

The Arbory

The Arbory has beautiful brick walls and skylights really bring such a warm ambience, and the plants throughout the venue truly are some of our favorite spots. You can have separate rooms for dinner and dancing, which is great for guests who love to dance and guests who love to mingle.

Our Favorite Venue #3

Salvage One

Salvage One is one of the coolest places we have worked and it has an energy that is unmatched. The building itself is an antique shop on the first floor with a built-in ceremony area, and the second floor has dining tables that are all unique, antique pieces that gives such an intimate dinner party vibe! This space is highly recommended if you’re looking to add personality to your day and want something with a unique twist.

Our Favorite Venue #5

LM Studio

LM Studio is a hidden gem on Michigan Avenue that we adore. It is a mix of modern and edgy with the floral mural, floor-length windows, and gold throughout the whole venue. This space requires nearly no dressing up the space because it really speaks for itself!

Our Favorite Venue #6

Columbus Park Refectory

Columbus Park Refectory is a perfect venue for someone who wants personality in each part of the space. The dancing room has black and while mosaic tile that is sure to add some fun energy and get everyone on the dance floor. This space is great for photos not only because of the brick walls and splashes of teal throughout, but also with the green-filled park right outside!
