Crystal Gardens Wedding

It is not easy to choose the perfect wedding venue. There are so many options available that couples often get overwhelmed. But that’s not all; you need to consider the price factor, the wow factor, the room capacity, and many other things.

All that can be a bit frustrating, but it shouldn’t be. The perfect wedding venue is just around the corner.

We are here to help you and introduce you to one of the most stunning wedding venues in the Chicago area. The Crystal Gardens is the place you’ve been looking for all this time.

Crystal Gardens banquet center is not your regular event space. It is a complete story with a happy end. 

This venue is extraordinary because it combines the best of both worlds. The Crystal Gardens is an indoor venue, but you have a feeling like you are outdoors. How amazing is that?

It is perfect if you want to have an outdoor wedding, but you are afraid of the weather conditions. Or you want to have a fall or winter wedding with a tropical vibe.

We can guarantee you it will sweep you off your feet. And your guest will be mesmerized.

This spectacular venue is on Chicago’s Navy Pier, and it’s a botanical garden. An astonishing six-story glass atrium with a 50-foot arched ceiling will protect you from bad weather. And the beautiful surroundings will make you feel like you are in a fairytale. 

The Crystal Gardens is a one-acre botanical garden. And it has room to accommodate between 80 and more than 500 people.

The reason couples love this venue is because of that unique vibe it gives. You can easily be fooled and think that you are in a tropical rainforest, minus the rain.

More than 80 live palm trees, greenery, and lush foliage fulfills the natural backdrop. And hanging twinkle lights and dancing leapfrog fountains completes the magical ambiance. 

The best thing about this event space is that it doesn’t have a rental fee, merely food and beverage minimum. 

The renowned Phil Stefani Signature Restaurants operate it, making it a perfect place for your next event.

The beautiful venue has space for more than 500 guests, so you don’t need to reduce the guest count. It is ideal for big parties with many guests.

Nor you have to be afraid of the space. It is also perfect for small weddings with your close friends and family. 

Depending on the number of your guests, you can have a partial garden rental or a full garden rental.

Partial garden rental is best if the number of your guests is around 225. This way, you will get 2/3 of the gardens, which will, of course, be private. The rest of the gardens are open to the public, but other than your guests, no one can access your wedding space.

Big weddings with more than 500 guests will secure a full garden rental. That means you will have the entire Crystal Gardens for yourself. 

Most exceptional privacy is always guaranteed.

For both these options, you can get a stage for the music and a big enough dance floor. That way, your guests can show off their dance moves.

The Crystal Gardens is located on Chicago‘s and the world’s famous Navy Pier. At 700 East Grand Avenue Mezzanine Level, Chicago, IL 60611. It is the most attractive location in the whole of Chicago. 

With the beautiful venue, you also get outstanding views on Lake Michigan, Chicago Skyline, and the well-known Ferris wheel.
