Small wedding in Chicago or Chicago area or Northwest Indiana?

Question

We want to have a very small intimate wedding 20-40 people. All candlelit somewhere in Chicago, the suburbs or Northwest Indiana. I thought maybe at the forest perserve or old small church. Do you know any locations?? I'm not into the hotel wedding or receptions. THANK YOU

Answer 1

The Cuneo Museum in Vernon Hills, IL has held many small intimate weddings. Might be a little out of your way though.

Try High Risk Gallery on Belmont ave near Sheffield. They also do catering and it's a nice setting. Rick, the owner is great and so is his partner Todd. Very professional and incredible food and service. They did our wedding of 60 people even though we had it offsite. The location there is pretty nice though. I forgot to mention he will help you arrange everything from getting a florist to arranging for a preacher/minister, etc.
