Who inspires you?
Our Community! We are consistent in our efforts to deliver the experience our guests are looking for, so naturally it’s very important that we listen to their wants, and more importantly, their needs.
What sets your brand or business apart?
We are the University of Chicago’s only membership club located on Campus, with proximity to Rockefeller Chapel and Bond Chapel, which host traditional and non-denominational ceremonies. What better place to tie the knot than a historic venue nestled on campus and in the iconic Hyde Park neighborhood?
What is your proudest achievement?
We have been fortunate to have very creative clients, who have transformed our space into some of the most unique floor plans we’ve ever been able to offer. We’re very proud to be presented with new ideas and successfully them deliver for our clients and their guests.
What three words describe you or your business best?
Unique, Historic, and Romantic
What big news do you want to share?
The Club actually features an intimate selection of newly renovated guest rooms on the third floor of our venue, making it an ideal space for pre-wedding lodging for couples and the bridal party. With our seventeen guest rooms, you can buy out the space for a truly private and exclusive experience.
How far in advance should couples book your business?
We recommend couples begin planning their venues as soon as they have decided on a date. The more notice they are able to provide, the more options they’ll have to decide from to host their perfect wedding!
Tell us what makes your business stand out?
Our historic facility was designed by famed Chicago architect, Howard Van Doren Shaw, in 1922 as a private membership club for the University of Chicago. Our venue features stunning stained-glass windows, original wood workings, and classic touches throughout the space, making it a truly unique venue that compliments any style of décor.
