A former Pabst Blue Ribbon distribution warehouse has been transformed into Watermark Solarium, showcasing barrel-aged beer and private events / weddings. Our venue was designed around the goal of helping our clients host the "best party of their entire lives".

Picking Watermark Solarium was truly the best decision we made when starting our wedding planning journey. They are easy to work with, effectively communicate and make sure we and our guests had everything we needed. It was also a huge win that we were able to get the airbnb next door, it made it easy to run back and forth if we forgot something while getting ready. The ladies and I utilized the bridal suite which is a must! We also used the outdoor ceremony space, which was breath taking. Our guests talked all night how much the loved the space and how friendly everyone was. We truly had the party of the year and a lifetime of memories because of this place.

  • Starts at $12,000

The Lyric Theater Blue Island is a unique wedding venue located in Blue Island, IL. Established in 1917, this 12,000-square-foot theater has long been an iconic part of the town, once offering all the latest Hollywood films to starstruck moviegoers. It closed in the late 1980s but was recently fully renovated and reopened by the Garetto and Cantelo families. For both families, the theater played a role in their family history, and so bringing it back to life was a labor of love. Today, The Lyric Theater Blue Island not only shows movies but also hosts live concerts and private events. This one-of-a-kind venue promises a celebration you'll never forget.

From the first day my family and I spoke with Scott, he has made our wedding the smoothest process we have ever experienced. The love and support from Scott and his staff at The Lyric Theater Blue Island was wonderful - everything we asked for was there plus more. Their communication style was outstanding and efficient, and the quality of their work was breathtaking! No words can express the gratitude and love we have for Scott and the entire Lyric Theater team for making our special day so perfect.

The Penthouse Hyde Park

  • Starts at $6,500

A rooftop ballroom and open-air terrace, The Penthouse Hyde Park offers Art Deco-inspired design with expansive views of the Chicago skyline and Lake Michigan. Sleek, sophisticated, and simple, our venue acts as a blank slate to make your dream event come to life. Whether you’re planning a seated reception for 150 with dinner and dancing or a cocktail-style gala for 200, The Penthouse Hyde Park provides the perfect setting. A Century in the Making The Penthouse Hyde Park, located atop the former Piccadilly Hotel & Theater, offers an air of refined elegance that nods to its 1920’s roots. Our north and east walls feature 20’ arched windows that showcase skyline and lakefront views, unlike anything you’ve ever seen. Intricate crown molding has been restored to its original glory to provide just a touch of character. The space has been outfitted with modern lighting and a sound system to provide guests with a high-end experience they’ll remember for years to come.

The venue is truly amazing. The terrance for our ceremony looked over the Michigan Lake and the City of Chicago Skyline. The indoor area to eat and dance shows a great classy and modern decor. The venue definitely speaks for itself, and does not require much decorations to reflect a beautiful wedding. One downside we experienced was communication. My wife and I were shocked on some of the responses. This was our first time getting married, and some of the communications back to us made it seem like we should know everything about the wedding industry. We also had to repeat multiple emails and communications even though this information was given to another college at the venue.

The abstract artwork was a lovely backdrop to our ceremony and reception and our pictures are beautiful. We used Spirit and Moongate in the ground floor and were very happy that the space allowed guests to have some quiet space away from the dance floor when they wanted. The team was easy to work with, and we had a great experience overall.

Awarded Best of Zola
My husband and I got married here on December 30th and it was an absolute dream. We had our ceremony and reception on the 6th floor and our cocktail hour in between the two on the 5th floor. The space was beautiful with fantastic views of the park and the lake. Once the sun went down, the space within was a perfect blend of modern and romantic with warm soft lighting and beautiful decor. It was so nice not to have to provide an intense amount of decoration since the space was so lovely itself. Our guests were also very impressed and complimentary! Paulette and her team were both professional and enjoyable to work with. Everyone was so kind, supportive, and put our happiness first. They were accommodating of all the special dietary restrictions and decorative requests we had. The bridal suite was also a fantastic space to escape to for a breather throughout the event. I would absolutely recommend this as a wedding venue, event space or anything else your heart could imagine!
