Beautiful light and art-filled spaces are just the beginning. The River North neighborhood and the curated elegance of 21c Chicago's wedding venues are the inspiration for every wedding dream, from ceremonies of just ten to the grandest receptions, rehearsal dinners, and ceremonies of up to 200.
Couples and their guests enjoy not only elevated dining and a restful stay, but also contemporary works of art. The hotel's museum is free and open to the public year-round, acting as a cultural hub for the neighborhood.

The modern and stylish rooms provide the space to unwind and recharge before heading back out into the vibrant urban landscape of Chicago.

I had a wonderful time planning an event at 21c Museum Hotel. Veronica is an incredible planner. She is very kind and a wonderful person to work with when planning.

We LOVED working with Veronica and the 21c Hotel Team! We had 130 guests and originally booked for August 2020 but moved our event at least 3 times due to COVID. We finally ended u...
p having it on November 6, 2021 and the sales and catering team was completely different from when we signed our contract. I was worried some of our agreement may fall through the cracks, but when we ended up in the hands of Veronica I was so relieved. She was on top of everything. Super professional, kind, willing to work with us to fulfill our vision. I always felt like we were on the same team, not like we were on different ends of the negotiating table. I come from the hospitality world so I am self admittedly a bit high maintenance at times and critical. I must have sent them 100's of e-mails. But I can't find one complaint. Pam and the banquets team were on top of everything, no request was too much or a bother. Every single team member wanted to help and make us happy. Our guests had a fantastic time and everyone said what a beautiful venue it was and how good the food was. We loved this spot in particular because it was so unique and we thought that reflected us better than the standard hotel ballroom. If you want to have a unique event and great hospitality is important to you, book at the 21c!
Getting married at 21c was absolutely perfect. From our first tour of the venue to the day after the wedding when we did one last walk through of the museum, everyone was helpful a...
nd genuinely excited to be a part of making our experience wonderfully unique and memorable. The space is stunning and all of our guests commented how much they loved the venue - it was amazing to have so many different galleries available to us. The fact that 21c has an outstanding restaurant that catered the reception, and connections to literally the best wedding cake baker in Chicago made the wedding planning process exceptionally smooth and enjoyable. The corner suite was the perfect place to get ready and had everything we needed, including giant mirrors! The 21c staff helped keep us organized and on track throughout the day of our wedding - we loved working with them and would highly recommend getting married at the beautiful 21c Museum!
