Wedding Venues in Illinois

From thriving cities to rural hideaways, Illinois is home to some of the country’s most picturesque and stylish wedding destinations. Boasting chic hotels and rustic barns, the Prairie State offers a wide variety of venue options for you and your partner to consider. With a myriad of tourist attractions to complement your experience, Illinois can provide the backdrop for a truly memorable celebration.

Discovering Illinois’ Richness and Diversity

Famed for its industrial heritage and acres of farmland, Illinois is a vibrant hot spot for couples who wish to tie the knot in the Great Lakes Region. The state’s largest city, Chicago, is a lively social and cultural hub. Nestled on the shore of Lake Michigan, this landmark metropolis features a wide range of banquet halls and hotels suitable for hosting romantic occasions. You can say “I do” on the bank of the lake, or enjoy an elegant reception at a rooftop venue. Should you opt for a countryside getaway, rural Illinois is replete with elegant mansions and bucolic barnyard venues. The average cost of a wedding venue in the Prairie State varies depending on where you choose to wed. Venues in Chicago have a typical price of $9,000, while costs in central Illinois can be as low as $3,000. For budgetary assistance, you and your significant other can make use of our budget planning tool.

Illinois’ Friendly Neighbor to the West

Situated to the west of the Prairie State, Iowa is a scenic and understated alternative that couples may wish to consider. Like Illinois, the Hawkeye State features both populous urban areas and rustic settings. From idyllic State Parks to the bustling capital city of Des Moines, this state evokes a country-meets-city vibe that is sure to impress nearly-weds. Couples will also be attracted to the region’s reasonable prices. The average cost of a venue in Des Moines is $5,000, a figure that is lower than both the national average of $6,000 and the standard price in Chicago.

The Prairie State’s Continental Climate

In terms of the weather, Illinois strikes a winning balance. The summer months are typically warm and humid, while winter sees cold temperatures and occasional snow. The fall season can be cold and blizzards are not uncommon during this time.

Planning your Perfect Day in the Prairie State

What should I consider when choosing my wedding date?

Given that Illinois, particularly Chicago, hosts many special events all year round, it is a good idea to keep an eye out for any potentially busy dates. Sporting occasions such as Bears and Cubs games happen frequently, as do public festivals such as Pride Fest. You can use this online tool to arrange the date of your big day.

What documentation do I need to provide to marry in Illinois?

To obtain a marriage license in Illinois, you and your significant other must go to a county clerk’s office to present a form of identification. Suitable documents include a birth certificate, passport, or driver’s license. Upon approval of your marriage license, you have 60 days to exchange your vows.

How do I get to Illinois?

The Prairie State is served by the Midway and O’Hare International Airports, both of which are located in Chicago. Regional airports can be found throughout the state, including the Quincy and Springfield airports. For drivers, several major roads lace through Illinois, such as the I-57 and the iconic Route 66.
