Chicago Wedding Reception Venues, Wedding Banquet Halls

~ Chicago Wedding Receptions ~

by Randy Wilson

There are two major events that you have to plan on your wedding day: an unforgettable wedding ceremony and a fun-filled wedding reception. No matter how important the wedding ceremony is, there is also a need to provide full attention to your wedding reception in order for a perfect wedding memory. In fact with all the available options for you in Chicago, your dream wedding will be a blast. Chicago is indeed the best place for you to find the best hotels, restaurants and reception halls.


 

For instance, the Galleria Marchetti, which is located just minutes from downtown Chicago, incorporates in interior design of a contemporary Milanese-style gallery space. On the outside, you can experience a wonderful urban courtyard with lovely pavilion surroundings. This is definitely Chicago’s most special and beautiful place for private entertainment and celebration. In fact, Galleria Marchetti is well known for its beautiful secluded atmosphere and delicious Italian cuisine. Apart from that, it can also accommodate weddings with 25 to 500 guests.


 

If you are looking for a venue in the city, The Hilton Garden Inn Downtown Chicago is an excellent place for a Chicago wedding reception. Located in the heart of Chicago's Magnificent Mile and the River North dining and entertainment area, just two blocks from North Michigan Avenue, the Hilton Garden Inn offers you upscale décor and a boutique-style lobby of comfortable elegance. This is great for guests to linger around before the celebration officially starts.


 

Another excellent wedding reception venue would be the Chicago Midway Hotel Center. This is the perfect venue for out-of-town and local Chicago wedding receptions as it is conveniently located two blocks from Midway Airport and eight miles from Chicago downtown. Apart from that, this hotel provides a host of transportation options – including a complimentary airport shuttle as well as elegant facilities. Additionally, the hotel offers award-winning culinary catering, personalized menu options, assistance in event planning and state-of-the-art audiovisual technology. You can even host your wedding reception till late as accommodation is never a problem with advanced bookings.


 

As Chicago is the city for professional entertainers, you can even engage a great band to host your wedding reception night! One of Chicago’s famous bands is The Dan Hayes Orchestra which has been around since 1982. They perform annually for many functions and are especially a hit for Chicago wedding reception functions. From Motown to R&B to Rock n' Roll to disco and contemporary hits, they are multi-talented in a wide rang of music. This will provide your guests with unforgettable entertainment as statistics have shown that most wedding guests have a greater memory of enjoyable music as compared to food or interior design.


 

Most importantly, be sure to book your dream venue as early as possible because popular reception sites get booked up fast. You may even need as much as a year and a half in advance for Chicago wedding reception bookings. Start planning for your dream wedding today so that you can host a memorable night of celebration that everyone will remember!
