I just started digging around in search of a reception site for a Chicago wedding this fall, and stumbled across your blog because we've been looking into Humboldt Park as an option. We're concerned about the catering constraints, but it sounds from your blog like that may be a bit more flexible than it comes across online...? Or maybe that's an old regime. Either way, the list in this post looks INVALUABLE. It contains every single venue I've thus far either come across in my own searching or had recommended. Thank you so much for this, and for all of the other incredibly helpful suggestions, reflections, and info contained in this blog!the Everyday Anthropologisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10100648455592681825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3670022096318848482.post-9071823366732429462010-05-07T12:21:43.198-07:002010-05-07T12:21:43.198-07:00obviously this post is aged now but for anyone new...obviously this post is aged now but for anyone new stumbling upon it like myself. <br /><br />the swedish heritage museum in andersonville rents their modern art gallery as an event space. they will let you bring in your own food and booze or work with any caterer you like. <br /><br />$800 for the space<br />$200 for a rep from the space to be present<br />includes tables, chairs and a large on-site kitchen. <br />insurance not included. that will run you about $600 including a million dollar liability policy and a liquor liability policy.amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17567013935153931505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3670022096318848482.post-63991990232922785862009-08-01T12:13:24.244-07:002009-08-01T12:13:24.244-07:00Thanks Michele!
Glad you found the post helpful an...Thanks Michele!<br />Glad you found the post helpful and Congratulations to you too!<br /><br />I'm not sure what your budget looks like, but if you start now on the venue search for next year you should be fine. It takes awhile to find the perfect place to hold your party (which is another big part, you don't want someplace too big if you're having an intimate group and you don't want someplace too squeezed, no matter how lovely if you're wedding is larger). the usual suspects: The Drake, Cafe Brauer, The Adler Planetarium...those might book up quick, but if you're flexible with your date you can probably work it out.<br /><br />I didn't have any trouble yet. I imagine once it's Fall there will be more bookings, so if you search a lot in August it might help you get exactly what you want.cc+jmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01669003865601752423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3670022096318848482.post-28353033530383988792009-08-01T09:35:35.846-07:002009-08-01T09:35:35.846-07:00Hi!

Sounds like you're doing a Fall 2010 Chicago wedding, which is what I want to do too. I just got engaged and am now in planning mode. Wondering if you actually found Chicago places available for next year. I'v heard you have to book some places more than a year in advance....Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10276258523713550312noreply@blogger.com
