If you want to be sure that you can get exactly what you want on your Big Day, we suggest making a booking at least a year ahead. But if you're still unsure what kind of venue or location would work best for your party, renting a venue about 9 months ahead of the date may be a good idea. But remember that the earlier you start searching, you’ll have many more options that fit your criteria!

It doesn’t matter where you go, you can find fantastic gems in each corner of the city. Some cheap versatile event spaces can be found around Lakeview, South Shore, or River North. We recommend you also have a look around West Loop for charming restaurants and vibrant bars that will make your wedding truly unforgettable. Are you leaning towards something more intimate or unconventional? Neighborhoods like Wicker Park and Lincoln Park offer unique venues that can be tailored to your taste.
