Awarded Best of Zola
Unbelievably tranquil and beautiful garden venue with exquisite food and top-notch service. We toured many wedding venues in Chicago and the suburbs, but none of them felt like a destination getaway, with the exception of Meyer’s Castle. By far, our singular favorite place among those we have seen. It's worth every penny to get married here. The service, ambiance, and food are all exceptional!

We had our wedding at Port 393 on December 14, 2024, and it was an absolutely unforgettable experience. Chloe, our wedding planner, was incredibly attentive and had everything under control from start to finish. Her meticulous attention to detail allowed us to relax and truly enjoy our special day. Chloe was always easy to reach and guided us through every step of the planning process. On the day of the wedding, she made sure I had everything I needed and went above and beyond to make the day special. She even took care of loading up the car throughout the night, so we could focus on enjoying time with our family and each other. The decorations were stunning, and the entire venue looked beautiful. I highly recommend letting Port 393 handle all the details—they truly made our wedding everything we had hoped for and more. It was a fun and memorable day, thanks to their exceptional service.
