The Lyric Theater Blue Island 

5.0

Blue Island, IL
  • Up to 250 guests
  • Select services
  • Indoor
  • Starts at $12,000

The Lyric Theater Blue Island is a unique wedding venue located in Blue Island, IL. Established in 1917, this 12,000-square-foot theater has long been an iconic part of the town, once offering all the latest Hollywood films to starstruck moviegoers. It closed in the late 1980s but was recently fully renovated and reopened by the Garetto and Cantelo families. For both families, the theater played a role in their family history, and so bringing it back to life was a labor of love. Today, The Lyric Theater Blue Island not only shows movies but also hosts live concerts and private events. This one-of-a-kind venue promises a celebration you'll never forget.

From the first day my family and I spoke with Scott, he has made our wedding the smoothest process we have ever experienced. The love and support from Scott and his staff at The Lyric Theater Blue Island was wonderful - everything we asked for was there plus more. Their communication style was outstanding and efficient, and the quality of their work was breathtaking! No words can express the gratitude and love we have for Scott and the entire Lyric Theater team for making our special day so perfect.

With 13 foot timber ceilings, picturesque skyline views, and an open concept floor plan, City View Loft provides each client with the unique opportunity to transform our industrial timber loft into their personalized venue space. Your guests will love the views they'll find when they attend your event at City View Loft.

Looking for a place to host your next luxury event? Contact City View Loft to learn more about what we have to offer.

I could not be happier with my experience with City View Loft! We had both our ceremony and reception there in early September and both The Kitchen and The Loft space really fit our vision. The food is way better than other wedding food I've had since it's not your typical basic recipes, and there are so many options to choose from. I felt as though the food on the day of was better than our tasting, which was still exquisite. Even during the tasting, you're able to make any changes (more salt, less sauces, etc.), which we didn't need to for anything but it was nice to have the option. Definitely one of the highlights of the wedding if you're foodies like we are. The venue coordinator Mary was seriously an angel in disguise. She became our coordinator about a month or two before the wedding, and she was so organized and pleasant to work with. On the day of, I had some issues with the day of coordinator I hired, but Mary stepped in and made sure our decorations were set and that we had everything we needed. She was informative about how the day would go, and was very responsive leading up to and throughout the wedding day. Without Mary, it would have been a way more stressful day! All the venue coordinators we worked with were great and I'm confident any of them would have delivered top service, but Mary holds a special place in my heart :) Everyone we interacted with at the venue was incredibly polite and clearly knew what they were doing. In addition to their pricing being very reasonable for everything you get, their organization is top notch, the spaces are stunning without much decoration, and the views truly are immaculate. I highly recommend booking City View Loft for your wedding or any event you're considering having there. You will not be disappointed!

Chicago, IL
  • Up to 400 guests

Originally designed in 1914 by renowned architect Daniel Burnham, our luxurious Landmark hotel is a premier wedding venue. The JW Marriott Chicago offers classic elegance and modern style, surrounded by the Windy City's finest dining, entertainment and cultural experiences. JW Marriott Chicago features 44,000 square feet of flexible event venues, each elegantly designed to sweep you off your feet. Your wedding guests will be enchanted by the soaring ceilings, majestic chandeliers and exquisite architecture. Each of our hotel's venues is available to be included in your customized wedding package.

WOW! We recently hosted our daughter’s wedding in the Burnham Ballroom at the JW Marriott on west Adams, and it was a huge success on every level. There may be many hotels in the downtown/River North area that can accommodate 250 for a wedding, but none matched the combination of value, historic beauty, and a dedicated & coordinated team that is so client-focused as the JW Marriott downtown. From our first jaw-dropping peek at the remodeled exquisite Burnham Ballroom (after viewing over 20 other nearby venues), the JW instantly “vaulted” into first place. But first we had to get through the contract negotiating process, and Anita made that stress-free. She is extremely knowledgeable, professional, responsive, candid and friendly, and is empowered to make most contract tweaks without constantly having to get approvals from others. The JW also offers a choice of various incentives to make the package even more attractive. And when you consider that nearly everything is included and onsite, the JW is a surprisingly good value over some of the trendy raw spaces. Once the contract was signed, Anita handed off the ongoing coordination to Bridget Kalsch and her team. Bridget is experienced, calming, patient and low-key, keeps track of every detail, has great and practical suggestions, and is uber-responsive to e-mail. Chef Lori was also incredibly amenable to tweaking recipes (in view of our restrictions). We were expecting “wedding food,” but we and our guests were all blown away by the presentation, preparation and portions. From appetizers through to the "Afterglow" of late-night snacks, everything was unique, plentiful, memorable and delicious. Jackie and her team made everything go smoothly on the day-of. We had thrown another wedding in the Loop just 11 months before and the JW team exceeded every expectation. Even our planner said he’d never seen a wedding for 250 people go so smoothly, with no hiccups. We are admittedly a high-maintenance client, and appreciated all of the following. • We had many dietary restrictions/preferences, and specialty elements we wanted included, and they made everything happen. • We needed to accommodate a large number of out-of-towners, and Patricia made the process painless and seamless. • The fourth floor setup, with its multiple breakout rooms and large hospitality suite adjacent to the Ballroom, is extremely convenient and flexible for before, during and after the wedding. • The bridal suite was spacious, gorgeous and flowed through to the adjoining guest room, so the large bridal party had plenty of space to relax and get ready (including hair and makeup) the morning-of; the hospitality suite was a perfect place for the groomsmen to get ready and for an afterparty for the bride & groom’s friends. • The historic lobby and second floor of the hotel provide an elegant backdrop for portraits/photos. • The Encore team, headed by Bob Heise, which handles the AV and the sophisticated lighting options for the Ballroom ceiling, was creative and helpful. • Unlike some high-profile ballrooms in the Chicago area, the Burnham Ballroom, with its arched ceiling, is acoustically perfect. We’re done planning weddings, but we’d strongly and enthusiastically recommend the JW! They went above & beyond in every way.

All furnishings both inside and outside are fully removable for maximum flexibility in configuring the space to your specifications.

We had a small rehearsal dinner, followed by a big welcome party on the river for over 200 guests from 20 different states. This is a perfect location for people that have never been to Chicago and those that are locals, because the view of the river and the buildings is absolutely stunning. They have the biggest covered outdoor patio in the city, and it was a perfect setting for our guests. From the dinner food to the appetizers and cocktails, every single detail was excellent. We couldn't believe how kind the staff was, from the person that we first interacted with to every bartender. They were flexible and really cared about making this experience enjoyable and unique for our guests, and wow, they delivered! We are so thankful for what your team put together for us.

When my husband and I reached out to Sepia for our wedding reception, we were met with professionalism at the very start. Kali was incredibly communicative, clear, and articulate when helping us discuss our options and plan for the dinner. The food was spectacular and picking Sepia was an excellent choice, especially considering that wedding food is usually less than ideal. Sepia also communicated with our vendors to ensure our flowers, cake, etc. were delivered on time. The event ran impeccably smooth and the private dining space was beautifully designed. We can’t thank you enough for the enjoyable evening.

Lisa and her team are, hands down, the best group of people I have ever met and would hire them 100% again and again. Lisa ensured she understood what our vision was by asking thorough and detailed questions. She went above and beyond contacting our venue and all necessary vendors to make sure everything ran smoothly. If there was ever an issue, she solved it without worrying us. And the day of our wedding, several of our guests informed us how amazing her and her teams’ service, professionalism, and how invested she is… not to mention how delicious all the food was, requiring seconds and thirds!!! There aren’t enough words to explain how phenomenal Lisa and her team are and how if it weren’t for Lisa, we wouldn’t have had the wedding of our dreams come true.
