    Amazing Venue Space!

    My husband and I knew we wanted to get married at Chicago Illuminating Company several years before we were even engaged after seeing a picture of the venue on Instagram. It truly is one of the most beautiful venues in the entire Chicago area (and beyond) and is such a lush hidden gem in the middle of busy South Loop. Marta, the owner, is amazing. It was so helpful to be able to lean on her expertise and recommendations because she knows what works well in the space better than anyone. Both the indoor and (covered!) outdoor spaces are stunning in their own right so it was super easy and fun to add our personal touches. We really couldn't be happier with the experience and space. Highly recommend!!!

    Gorgeous Venue

    I think CIC is hands down the best wedding venue in Chicago. I toured SO MANY beautiful places and this one took the cake. The owner- Marta, is so on top of it and has wedding at the venue down to a science. It was impossible for anything to go wrong. It’s unique because you’re guests can be indoors and outdoors (a rarity for a city wedding) and the venue is just stunning. The clean white walls and classic interior makes it so easy to take your wedding in whatever design direction you want.

    Beautiful Venue!

    Our wedding at Chicago Illuminating Company was perfect! We had to reschedule our wedding multiple times due to the pandemic, and our original venue ended up closing. We were so lucky to find Chicago Illuminating Company because they have the absolute best setup for social distancing and Covid-19 precautions. Their outdoor space is gorgeous, and the indoor space (used for cocktail hour only) allows for open air flow through their multiple huge doors. Marta was very easy to work with. She was extremely flexible and supportive given all of the circumstances and adjusted her cancellation policy to allow for any last minute changes. Thankfully, we didn't have any issues and we were able to have our beautiful event. We highly recommend Chicago Illuminating Company for a gorgeous wedding in Chicago, either during or after the pandemic!
