Just started planning your Chicago wedding? Let’s be honest — finding the right venue can feel like a full-time job.

Between comparing venue prices, checking date availability, and trying to picture your day in each space, it’s easy to get overwhelmed with all of the options. That’s why we created The Wedding Shortcut’s Chicago Venue Guide — your simple, easy to follow guide to the city’s best reception venues.

Our Chicago Venue Guide helps you narrow down options by neighborhood, so you can stop scrolling and start celebrating. We’ve even included a little blurb about the vibe, so you will know it’s the right fit before going down a rabbit hole. Whether you’re dreaming of an industrial loft in the West Loop or a romantic garden in the suburbs, this free guide gives you a clear path (and insider tips) to make venue shopping feel easy.
