The Venue History

The Rookery Building in the heart of Chicago’s financial district stands testimony to the resilience and creative spirit of late-nineteenth century Chicago. Completed in 1888, Burnham and Root’s eleven-story Rookery was one of the tallest buildings in the world at the time. These buildings were known popularly as “the rookery” because of the many birds that roosted there and the likelihood of being “rooked” by the politicians in residence. In 1905, seeking to modernize the interior public spaces of The Rookery, the building’s manager, hired Frank Lloyd Wright. The Rookery commission resulted in one of the most luxurious interiors of Wright’s career. In The Rookery's light court, Wright demonstrated an ability to skillfully integrate his own design into an existing design by Root, without diminishing the original.

Schedule

The ceremony and reception will be held at The Rookery. The ceremony is to start promptly at 5pm, followed by cocktail hour, then the reception is 6:30pm to 11pm.
