The key to finding an inexpensive wedding venue in Chicago is to consider options that are not always obvious. Many of the most affordable options, listed below, include park and recreation facilities, restaurants, and community rooms. For example, the Brown Bottle Ristorante has wedding buffets starting at $13.95 a person and Heritage manor offers buffet for only $19 a person.

Club community rooms and even country clubs offer very good deals, especially in this economy. For a little ethnic flair, we include community rooms, from a German club, a Swedish club, and an Irish club. But, Chicago is such a diverse city, that you can find many ethnic groups with party rooms to rent. The advantage is that the club will have the ethnic food and decorations that you may be looking for in your wedding.
