Of all of the wedding venues in the Chicago suburbs, you won’t want to miss these 7 gorgeous locations. Read all about their wow-factor details and features. Ready, set, go!

Warehouse 109

Plainfield, IL

Known as a “new venue in an old warehouse,” this location is at the top of our list for a reason. It’s super unique with just the right amount of edge thanks to their motorcycle wall, rustic touches (like their old-fashioned trucks and trailers) and eclectic details.

The outdoor terrace alone works as a noteworthy centerpiece for your wedding. Imagine cocktail hour or late-night treats with their fire pit and the lounge they built right into an Airstream Bus. Don’t even get us started on the bridal suite. It’s huge and perfect for getting ready photos!

Honestly, you’ll never find a venue like this with its attention to detail and amazing photo ops. Your guests will appreciate the ample parking and if you work with us, we can practically walk there. We live less than 10 minutes away and are super familiar with it! You can see more close-ups on this Warehouse 109 blog post!

Joliet, IL

Historic and hella grand — you may as well be eloping with the Queen. Marble floors, panoramic views, sparkling chandeliers — your wedding will feel fabulously royal at this Chicago wedding venue, and it’s all in the suburbs.

We love that this venue has it all. Almost like a game of Clue, you’ve got the ballroom, conservatory and the lush grounds all around the mansion. You don’t need to travel to multiple locations on your wedding day. Just do it all in this mansion reserved for you. (We recommend the garden for a ceremony location!)

Upstairs is the vibe for getting ready photos and there’s even a professional gourmet chef on site. The food is OUTSTANDING. Guests will gloat about the time they went to a wedding at The Haley Mansion. You could be the ones spoiling them and yourselves all the while.

The Haight

Elgin, IL

With that speakeasy feel, this Chicago wedding venue is EYE-CATCHING! You can do everything here — getting ready, saying those vows and celebrating at the reception! We are all about their cozy feel with mood lighting and industrial backdrops.

It’s intimate, and yet big enough for weddings with 150 guests! Here in Chicago, it works for every season, but that outdoor cocktail area is a gem for yard games if you’re planning a summer wedding. Parking is also super easy even though it’s only 5 minutes away from downtown (which means you can take photos there too!).

All we need to say is Great Gatsby. That’s the kind of feel you’ll get at the Armour House. Its historical architecture, elegant staircase and stunning gardens will make you feel incredible. It’s exquisite and great for weddings in all seasons.

Their website does not do them justice, but we can promise that this venue is extremely unique! Dark walls, brewing upstairs (yes, built-in attractions!), it’s rustic and with enough room to host super big weddings. We love it in late spring, summer and fall!

You’ve got to take advantage of their firepit in the courtyard! S’mores is a great late-night snack and you can cuddle up by the fire.

Which one of these wedding venues in the Chicago suburbs caught your eye?

Yeah, we can’t decide either. But if we weren’t already married, we’d be scrambling to book one of these. Or we’d be eloping with the actual Queen in England somewhere.
