Bring your own food/booze

jc_ewing

Does anyone know of a place that you can bring in your own food & liquor. We are looking to do something different & with going to over 35 weddings in the past 6yrs we've seen it all

Lake Katherine in Palos Heights would let you do both.  They have two different areas to rent for your reception.  You would just have pay $150 for the Liquor Liability Insurance for whatever you decide to bring in.  I know you can have your event catered, but you would have to ask about bringing in your own food without using an insured caterer (if that is what you're asking).  They also have a pretty amazing area for your ceremony and photo op areas.

<div>Loft on Lake in Chicago! Our wedding was 2 weeks ago there and it was awesome. We brought in our own booze from Binny's (I just yesterday returned the leftovers and was pretty happy to have the $ back on my card!) and were able to really shop around for reasonable caterers. Hope that helps, good luck!</div>
