Beautiful Fall Wedding Venue

We were so happy to have chosen Firehouse Chicago for our November 2024 wedding. The venue is so charming, and Sarah and Teddy helped us plan an incredible event. We had about 70 guests, and this venue was the perfect size, with plenty of room for dancing!

The space itself is so beautiful and interesting—even the ceiling and tables—that you don’t have to put much money into decor. I recommend springing for the candle package they offer, as well—added such a nice touch. Our autumn wedding was so cozy and perfect. The ivy on the side of the building turned into beautiful autumn hues that looked so cool in our photos.

The planning help in addition to day-of coordination and setup/takedown really helped eliminate the inevitable stress. Specifically, they helped coordinate my walk down the aisle so that I was walking to very specific lyrics (+ the incredible DJ Jessi from Groove is in the Heart). It was timed perfectly!

The entire staff was wonderful. I couldn’t believe how smoothly everything went, how classy and cute everything looked, and how quickly they got everything taken down at the end. Everyone was so sweet and helpful. I have nothing but warm feelings!

Cannot recommend this venue enough for a magical Chicago wedding

My husband and I recently got married at the Firehouse Chicago on 11/2/24. This was the first venue we toured and we fell in love instantly. Sarah and Teddy and the entire Firehouse team made wedding planning enjoyable and stress free so we could focus on enjoying our special day.

The opening staff was friendly and took the initiative to set up our decor, programs, signage, floral, and seating with minimal direction from my end. What they put together was a beautiful setting on top of an already stunning venue. The closing staff organized all of our decor and belongings at the end of the night in record time making set up and shut down as painless as possible.

In addition to the beautiful venue and wonderful staff, Firehouse gave us a list of recommended vendors including catering, photography, and DJ. This made wedding planning much easier and we ended up having food, music, and photos our guests are still raving about.

Most importantly, as a gay couple, we were looking for an inclusive venue that was welcoming to all and the Firehouse delivered on all fronts. I cannot recommend this venue enough to anyone looking to get married in Chicago. We saved so many costs and headaches thanks to their organized planning and exceptional service and support.

The perfect venue and team for our wedding

We are so so glad we found and chose the Firehouse for our wedding. We had around 80 people on a late Autumn day and the place felt perfect - inside and outside. Everyone loved the venue. It is just really special and one-of-a-kind.

Leading up to the day itself, Sarah and Teddy and their team were so friendly, enthusiastic and professional. They were highly responsive, crucial in helping us think through the plans and keeping everything organized for us, and gently patient with our many moments of indecision and mind-changing along the way.

We got a really beautiful, cozy, and memorable venue and great wedding planners -- all for a price that was well worth it.
