I think I'm about to lose my mind looking at wedding venue's in the Chicago land area and would really appreciate any help anyone has to offer here. Me and my fiance are still not 100% set between having our wedding here in Chicago or just doing a smaller destination wedding somewhere, however in an attempt to have all of our family and friends be able to celebrate with us I'm putting a really big and honest effort into trying to find a unique venue or space to host our wedding here. The problem I keep running into is everything is ridiculously expensive and was just wondering if anyone's been able to find a nice non banquet hall looking venue that won't break our bank and will allow us to have roughly 100 guests. Were trying to keep things in the no more than 10-13000 range with taxes already counted in. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.
