Chicago Fall wedding at Cafe Brauer and ceremony at Honeycomb
Looking for a quintessential Chicago wedding venue? Look no further! Cafe Brauer is iconic and historic without being overly ornate or stuffy, and has unique features that attract locals to its charm.
Its perfect location in the heart of Lincoln Park, adjacent to The Lincoln Park Zoo and minutes from the Downtown and the lake makes this venue highly desirable every season but in the fall the magic of the turning leaves and golden hour magic in the brisk air are hard to compete with . The photo opportunities within minutes from the venue are endless and some of the best views of the skyline are seen from the balconies flanking the venue, a perfect location for outdoor cocktail hour.
Wedding clients have the option to rent out the Honeycomb structure which provides a stunning Chicago backdrop to ceremonies. We love that it is fully covered in case Chicago weather makes its typical good luck appearance.
Beyond the location, Cafe Brauer has one of the most beautiful architectural elements that are iconic, yet warm and inviting and that work in perfect synergy with floral decor. The Great Hall at cafe Brauer features artistic representations of the park surrounding it and we love bringing in floral elements that complement these beautiful subtle design elements.
The Tigerlily team that manages the venue and offers catering services will wow you with their knowledge of the space and expertise on event production, and they are one of our favorite teams to work with in the city!
The large skylight is a favorite element that we love featuring in our design. Whether adding dangling glass orbs with twinkling lights or large installations to feature this wow moment, the options are endless and we love coming up with unique ideas that enhance the space.
