Planning questions, answered

How much do wedding venues cost in Chicago?

Venue pricing in Chicago spans widely — from around $3,000 for simpler spaces to $15,000+ for full-service estates and resorts. The real number to compare is total cost: ask what's included (tables, chairs, linens, staffing) and what's required (mandated caterers, minimums, service fees).

What questions should we ask on a venue tour?

Ask about rain plans, vendor restrictions, overtime fees, when vendors can load in, what the service charge covers, and exactly when you get the space. Get the full fee schedule in writing before signing.

How does Lazo rank wedding venues in Chicago?

Rankings come from the Lazo Score — verified reviews weighted for recency — and are never sold. Vendors without verified reviews yet start at the community baseline of 65 and earn their score as verified reviews arrive.
