I am thrilled to highlight one of my favorite venues today – the Ivy Room in Chicago, Illinois. I love getting to shoot events here – it’s a great space for any type of event! So why should you host your event there? My top 4 reasons for hosting? Read on to find out.

Beautiful Ballroom

A ballroom is always a good choice for a wedding location. They are typically blank slates, so they can be styled for almost any theme or style of event. The Ivy Room ballroom is no exception! I love the clean aesthetic in the space, and I have seen it transformed into many stunning ceremonies and receptions.

From photo location to ceremony options, it can definitely add flexibility to the space inside. Need a cocktail hour while the space is being transformed for the reception? No problem – the courtyard can comfortably host your guests, complete with bar options!
