About

On WeddingWire since 2018

Chicago Theater Works is a family-owned wedding venue located in Chicago, Illinois, that creates fantastic weddings, regardless of your budget. The indoor space is unique and boasts a modern feel where you can host your wedding ceremony and reception or any other wedding-related event, such as an engagement party or bridal shower. Elopements are also welcome. They are flexible and welcome outside caterers and vendors.

Facilities and Capacity
Chicago Theater Works accommodates up to 160 people for a sit-down dinner or 200 during a stand-up reception. The indoor space includes wood floors, a brick wall, and exposed piping in the ceiling to give the room an industrial feel. You can say "I do" on top of flexiale staging during an indoor wedding ceremony. The space can be transformed with lights, florals, and drapery to fit your wedding vision and decor. There are get-ready rooms available for you and members of your wedding party. The venue is set up for WiFi and there is parking and valet services available.

Services Offered
Chicago Theater Works is unlike many venues and does not have any food or bar minimums. The prices remain the same as when you first meet during a consultation. There are no surprise fees or charges as the wedding gets closer. The first meeting at the venue will result in the creation of a timeline of your wedding and the design on how the rooms will be set up. They provide beverage services on-site and are flexible with your options. You can serve a variety of beer, wine, liquor, champagne, and signature drinks during an open, limited, or cash bar. You have the option to use an outside caterer and there is a staging kitchen they have access to the day of the wedding. A dedicated team of staff will set up and clean up the spaces for the wedding and be on-hand on the wedding day to ensure everything goes off without a hitch. Chicago Theater Works does have tables, chairs, stage, dance floor, furniture, audio equipment, and lighting to use.

CTW is THE place to have your wedding!

I cannot recommend Chicago Theater Works enough! Working with Dawn and Bill was a breeze. CTW was within our budget and is in a good central location to Chicago. Dawn was incredible to work with and quick to respond to all our emails.

If you want to have a beautiful wedding that is easy please consider CTW!
