A New Leaf on a Friday night might be as good as it gets in the city of Chicago from what I know of-- maybe Garfield Park Conservatory?
I am not sure if there are any art galleries that would host 50 people--
I am currently trying to find a location for a rehearsal dinner in the city on a Friday night-- and most nice restraurants require a $3500-$5500 F&B minimum-- not sure what you are looking for.
Pree, thank you for your response.
Do you know of any art galleries that host weddings, even if they can't quite fit 50? Our guest list isn't set in stone yet, so we may be able to reduce it a bit.
Stan Mansion-- might require some creativity on the inside, but is anon-traditional and definitley will fit your group.
Thank you, I'll look into that!
If anyone else knows of similar places, art galleries, etc, it would be a great help.
I don't really have any other ideas, but this post might be helpful to you. I think this bride is looking for the same kind of place. http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/chicago-area-venue-ideas
Thru a mutual friend and our wedding videogropher (their studio is in the basement) we have found this hidden treasure. Check out the link and the video done by Kinema Group

Hope this can be another option for you.

Try Three Pea Art Gallery. I know they host events sometimes:

I love West Loop Studios. It is perfect for a smaller wedding! I am in the wedding industry... I'd love to offer more advise if you need it.
I am getting married at Volo Wine bar this summer. It is (obviously) a restaurant, but we are getting married outside in their patio area, which also has a littlebarn (for lack of a better word) we also have the wine cellar for getting ready and pictures and things.
so you don't have to stalk, here's a wedding that was there last fall:

ETA: Our guest list is 30 people, we are just taking the back area, not the inside restaurant part. Which also means we don't have to rent the whole place.
Y'all are wonderful!
@Miss Peach Tree: Volo is so gorgeous! Can I ask what the price range is to rent the back area? That is probably my favorite place I've seen yet.
Have you looked at Maxim's? It isn't exactly cheap but you get tables, chairs, linens for the price and also can use whatever caterer you want (so long as they are licensed and can serve your liquor) and can also bring in your own alcohol.
It's a very unique venue but can accomodate a medium-small group for an all-in-one venue or just be reception for more people. They have a foyer, bar with dancefloor and dining room - all separate.

Hi everyone,
this is my first topic on Weddingbee! I'm researching Chicago venues right now and could really use some help. Does anyone know of non-traditional venues in Chicago that are okay for smaller groups, maybe 50 guests? I'd like to steer clear of restaurants, but I'm open to anything else.
We're also thinking about a weeknight wedding, not sure if that changes anything.
Thank you for any ideas!
