Finding a wedding venue that feels like it has personality and comfort with a sense of intimacy in the calmest way might be a tall order in the city of Chicago. There’s a chance you might find something with those characteristics at The Publishing House Bed and Breakfast.
This place might be considered a micro wedding destination for your big day.
1. Privacy and silence and comfort.
One of the biggest advantage of The Publishing House is the ability to rent out the entire 11-room B&B. this is like renting out a whole building to yourselves, along with your friends and families.
- Less Stress: Rehearsal dinner, getting-ready, ceremony, and reception can all be done here.
- Settling in like at home: Coffee and homemade breakfast without having to go to your local coffee shop. Where else can you eat your eggs while kicking up your feet onto the coffee table?
2. Beautiful aesthetic for photographers
This is definitely worth sharing on social media.
- Interiors that are Unique: Each room has its own personality with a mix of industrial history and modern luxury—think clawfoot tubs, double-sided fireplaces, and curated bookshelves.
- Natural Light: Huge windows bathe the space in sunlight, if you weren’t getting married here, then you can definitely do a photo shoot for an editorial magazine.
3. Think intimate not loud (25–55 Guests)
This totally fits a small wedding atmosphere
- Seated Dinners: The venue comfortably hosts up to 34 guests for a seated meal.
- Cocktail Receptions: For a more fluid, social vibe, you can host up to 55 guests for drinks and hors d’oeuvres.
- Personal Touches: A smaller guest count allows you to splurge on high-end catering (like local favorite Lula Cafe) and bespoke cocktails.
4. Touch up home but in the city
You’re not stuck in a cottage in the woods. If you’re up for the upbeat environment that a metropolitan city can give you, you only have to step outside. This venue definitely fits all forms of planning for such an important day in your lives. Worth taking a look into if you’re looking into the Westloop.
