in Illinois-Chicago
Hi everyone!I am looking for a venue that is unique that serves food. We are looking at a guest list of 100 or less.We are looking somewhere in the range of $85-125 pp with liquor. We would like to keep it around 15k for a minimum. I am open to some unique restaurants as well.We would like to stay downtown or in the city but willing to look at nearby suburbs. But that is really only a last resort.Is this even possible? If you could point me in the right direction that would be great. Thank you!

    If your last resort is the burbs, check out Meson Sabika in Naperville, they have a lot of Spanish Tapas food, and the atmosphere is fun.  I almost planned mine there... but I booked something else the day before I had the appt. there.

    I would recommend Michigan Shores Club in Wilmette--a little north of the city but unique setting, great food and well within your budget.

    The Allerton Hotel on Chicago & Huron. It's an old hotel & has excellent food & I think they have good packages for weddings.It's worth checking out, plus they have great views of the city from the top floor.  There's a nice 3rd floor ballroom though too that might be a good size for 100 guests.

    embassy suites lakefront is within your range. (not the one on state...this one is on illinois and columbus) it's much prettier.
