Where to even begin, the venue is stunning and Andria was just amazing to work with! We are so happy with our choice to get married at Fairlie. The space, staff, and vibe are all incredible, and our guests are still talking about it. We cannot recommend this space more!! -

Exquisite wedding venue with top notch customer service!
My husband and I got married on June 9th, 2023 at Fairlie. We can say with the utmost confidence that Fairlie is bar none when it comes to wedding venues in the city of Chicago. Our guests are still talking about the beauty of the venue, as well as the logistical perks such as the parking lot and access to free street parking. We thoroughly enjoyed working directly with Alexis to plan logistics, as well as with Andrea and the security team the day of. The entire team was accommodating, flexible & willing to make suggestions when needed! We were incredibly impressed with this venue & their team. Also...the tuk-tuk is an amazing touch!!! Entering the reception on the tuk-tuk is one of our favorite wedding day memories!!
Another special touch...Fairlie gifted us a personalized Fairlie decanter with our name and wedding date on it the evening of our rehearsal - we were so touched! This venue goes above & beyond for their clients. We would get married here all over again!!!
Thank you Fairlie team!!!

Book The Fairlie Now!
There are not enough good and kind words to say about the Fairlie and the people who work there. Alexis and Andrea are absolute gems! Alexis was so quick to respond to any question I had for her for over a year and was so accommodating while also being truly interested in our wedding.
The Fairlie itself was absolutely perfect and magical. Elegant yet industrial and so true to Chicago aesthetic. The suites were perfect for our needs and the open concept and large bar were perfect for the 150 guests at our wedding and it could definitely accommodate a larger party. We used the upstairs loft for a photo booth, bourbon bar and lounge and we got so many compliments.
This venue is so worth the price. The BYO policy and ability to select any vendor makes it unique and gives you the ability to really make your event your own. Alexis also had plenty of recommended vendors that we ended up selecting. Our wedding was an absolute dream and we have Alexis, her team and the Fairlie to thank for it! -

Truly a showstopper venue
We fell in love with Fairlie the moment we stepped inside! We wanted something industrial, unique and memorable, and Fairlie ticked all the boxes. The grand staircase, super high ceilings with natural light, giant bar, exposed brick, wall sconces, and chandelier were all so beautiful that we didn't need to add many decorations to make the space feel elegant. There are so many unique touches that allowed us to be creative with the space (magnetic metal wall, marquee sign, even a tuk tuk!!), and Alexis and Andria gave us a lot of great tips how to maximize the different areas! We ended up getting married at the bottom of the grand staircase, which made for a unique entrance and amazing photos! The space is gigantic and will easily fit hundreds, but our wedding of ~100 guests still felt intimate the way the space was set up. The ladies at Fairlie were so flexible, it was incredibly easy to set up multiple visits to the venue, walk-throughs with our vendors, and the rehearsal the night before. They were both incredibly fast at responding to any questions and had some great vendor recommendations as well! It was super great to be able to bring in our own food and beverage as well, which ended up saving us a good deal of money. We had food trucks for dinner parked right outside the doors, which was a hit with our guests. The whole day starting with set-up and getting ready at the venue, until midnight when we left, went so smoothly. We would not have changed a thing, and were so happy we chose Fairlie. Highly recommend! -

We got married at Fairlie in July 2022, and we could not possibly imagine a more beautiful, magical place for a wedding! Andria and Alexis were so professional and helpful during our planning process, and our guests were all blown away by the space. We had both our ceremony and reception at Fairlie, and the space was absolutely perfect for a seamless wedding day. We are beyond thrilled we chose to have our wedding here! -

Patrick F. Sent on 06/28/2022We loved Fairlie!
We are so happy that we chose Fairlie for our wedding venue. The space is absolutely incredible and many of our guests raved to us that it was "the coolest wedding venue they've ever been to" and that our wedding was the "best wedding they've ever attended." The high ceilings and neat exposed brick gave the space a unique industrial feel, yet it still felt comfortable and intimate. Alexis and Andrea were a pleasure to work with and they made our special day go very smoothly. Also, it was convenient being able to step outside during the wedding to get some fresh air, and the front outdoor space of the venue provided a welcome break spot for our guests. We highly recommend the Fairlie and we wish we could relive our wedding day there all over again! -

Abbie M. Sent on 08/24/2022Gorgeous venue & amazing team to work with!
I got married at Fairlie in May 2022, and it was the perfect day! From the beginning, Andria and Alexis were an absolute dream to work with. Andria listened to all my ideas, helped build my floor plan (multiple times because I kept changing my mind!) and was patient, kind and excited to bring my vision to life. The space is absolutely STUNNING, and the grandeur of Fairlie is unlike anything I’ve ever experienced. Something about it just feels magical. We are still getting compliments on our venue months later!
Alexis, Andria and the rest of the Fairlie team - We truly can’t thank you enough! -

Stunning Venue, Lovely Staff
We got married at The Fairlie in December 2021 and could not say enough positive things about our experience there. As much as we loved the space (it's beautiful and very versatile) what we loved even more was working with Alexis and the staff. She was unbelievably calm & flexible throughout our original postponement in 2020 due to COVID. She made sure all of our questions were answered in a timely manner. They even gave us this beautiful whiskey bottle with our wedding date on it. The space itself comfortably fit our 200 guests without feeling sparse or overcrowded. Everything was perfect – 12/10 would recommend. -

I don't have enough good things to say about Fairlie and Alexis & her team! We saw quite a few venues during our venue shopping process and it was almost immediate that we knew we wanted to book Fairlie when we walked in. The space is beautiful - the staircase makes such a statement, the bar is nice and spacious, the lighting options are incredible, each bathroom has plenty of stalls, the bridal suite was comfortable and very beautiful, and the space is customizable to however you'd like to make it. We loved it when we saw it and when we walked in on our wedding day, it was even more stunning than we could have imagined. Alexis was amazing to work with. She is responsive, extremely helpful, and was able to accommodate all the requests we had without any hesitation. Her venue managers were wonderful on the night of our wedding, as well.
If you are looking for the warehouse chic vibe, this is definitely it and you will not be disappointed with your experience. Thank you Fairlie, Alexis, and team for being such an amazing vendor for our wedding! Now hopefully someone we know will have a wedding there so we can return :) -

The most beautiful space run by a genuinely kind and thoughtful team. Alexis was incredibly helpful from the start- during our tour we knew not only that this was the right physical space for our wedding, but also that this was someone we wanted to work with. She helpfully recommended vendors who had done weddings at Fairlie in the past and our day couldn’t have been more perfect. We even were able to have our caterer drive a food truck for late night pizza! Always available for questions and accommodated pre-wedding walkthrough requests. Highly recommend this venue for anyone looking for a unique & flexible event space full of good energy! -

Klaudia B. Sent on 10/30/2021Beautiful venue
Alexis and Nicole from Fairlie are simply amazing. I booked Fairlie as our venue for my wedding in March 2020 when we took a trip to Chicago to go venue shopping. When we stepped into the building, gosh, words can’t describe the feeling of joy that overcame me. This venue was exactly what I envisioned for my venue location. I wanted a warehouse, industrial look to my venue and that is exactly what I got. We saw about 8 venues that weekend that had similar looks. What stood out was the staircase, the long bar, the open brick, the freshness to the venue, the personal touches, and the tuk tuk. This venue was perfect! Now let’s talk about Alexis and Nicole - what a dynamic duo! Like other vendors, CONVID impacted them in 2020 but once 2021 hit, their business skyrocketed. I didn’t feel that with my communication during those months. They were so prompt and always responsive to my three million questions. They are also accommodating and help prep the day of as well which was amazing.
Don’t judge a book by It’s cover with the rough exterior (neighborhood), It all just seems to work so well! -

We had a NYE wedding at Fairlie and from beginning to end Fairlie was a dream venue to work with! Nicole made the process super easy and was so helpful and organized. The space honestly speaks for itself but the staff is really what made us want to book. You will not regret booking an event here! -

Sarah K. Sent on 09/10/2022Perfect venue for a city wedding
We fell in love with Fairlie the second we walked in! Every guest commented on how gorgeous and unique the space is. Loved how adaptable it was for our cocktail style reception, loved all the amenities (Beautiful getting ready space! Big parking lot! Gorgeous furniture!) but like often, the people are what make a vendor exceptional. We were in such good hands with the Fairlie team. They were super accommodating and understanding of what we wanted, helped out tremendously during the day (even arranging for the best location for pictures!), and just fantastic humans. Also loved being able to be there early and have the room for a looooong time as opposed to some venues only allowing you in for 6 hours. Truly fantastic! -

Long story short, I didn’t get to see the venue, other the pictures on their site until the day of our wedding. Wasn’t disappointed AT ALL! Beautiful place! Wonderful people! Made our dreams come true!!! -

I am a professional event planner and Fairlie is one of my favorite spaces in Chicago. Ceiling for days, natural light, loft vibes, gorgeous bar, included tables and chairs, drapery, easy switch between ceremony and reception, upstairs area, gorgeous suite for wedding party - so many perks and amenities. Nicole the venue manager is a GODDESS and one of the hardest working people I know in the industry. Do yourself a favor and visit this space. You will fall in love. -

Kaitlin L. Sent on 12/11/2021You will love your wedding at Fairlie
We got married at Fairlie on 7.30.21. For us Fairlie was the perfect fit. Big unique open space, brick and industrial details and space for our ceremony. Fairlie has a great team and the space is thought out better than any other venue we visited. We also really liked how it was on a quiet dead end street in an industrial corridor. It felt like Chicago but gave us privacy and wasn't in bustling downtown. We absolutely loved our venue and would recommend it to anyone. Get married at Fairlie! -
