About
The Chicago History Museum is a classic wedding destination in the heart of Chicago’s Lincoln Park neighborhood. With breathtaking views, Georgian-style architecture, and an outdoor plaza set against a backdrop of the Chicago skyline, the Museum is the perfect setting for your unforgettable moment.
The Museum is flexible enough for weddings of all sizes and can accommodate a DJ, band, or even an orchestra. Couples can also choose from a list of preferred exclusive caterers able to customize the perfect menu for your day.
All bookings include building security, coat check personnel, janitorial services and a member of the special events staff on-site from set-up to break-down.
