    Chicago might be known as the windy city, but its epic skyline and lakeshore views make it the perfect city for an outdoor wedding. Locals know that there’s nothing better than summer in Chicago — and couples are certain to agree. Warm temperatures and plenty of sunshine make for an idyllic outdoor ceremony and reception. While the rest of the year witnesses much more blustery weather conditions, many Chicago venues come equipped with retractable glass roofs, pavilions, heat lamps, and firepits to keep guests comfortable and cozy.

    Before you begin your wedding venue search, it’s essential to determine your wedding date, or at least the season in which your nuptials will occur. Determining the season will give you an idea of likely weather conditions. Of course, we always recommend working with your Chicago wedding planner to come up with a backup plan in case of unforeseen rain or lower temperatures.

    You’ll also want to determine what type of outdoor venue will best suit your wedding vision. Chicago is home to some of the chicest rooftop venues in the country. You’ll also find lush courtyards, riverside terraces, grassy lawns, and so much more.

    Lastly, you’ll want to consider your preferred location when choosing an outdoor space. For a quieter outdoor ceremony in nature, you may want to avoid downtown and instead look to one of Chicago’s many eclectic neighborhoods. For those who want to be in the center of it all, or high above the city, downtown may be your best bet.

    PartySlate makes it easy to find your ideal Chicago event space with our curated directory.
