a lavish wedding close to the beauty of crystal gardens on chicago's navy pier

Your wedding is a big day to celebrate and must be flawless from every corner. This is the reason every bride and groom always dream of getting married at a gorgeous destination where they can get everything at finesse. The Crystal Gardens is a magnificent place to host your wedding reception following beautiful surroundings of more than 80 live palm trees and lush foliage.


Located on Chicago’s #1 tourist attraction, the famous Navy Pier, the Crystal Gardens is overloaded with spectacular views of the Chicago Skyline, Lake Michigan, the ferris wheel, and Navy Pier’s Dock Street. 


With ample space to accommodate anywhere from 100 to 1,500 people, The Crystal Gardens is home to a vivacious, one-acre botanical garden. The garden is a six-story glass atrium with a 50-foot arched ceiling where guests can find fascinating outdoors with comfy indoors to enjoy the ceremony. And undeniably true, you will get a fresh stock of some good-looking pictures in natural lighting. 


As you first walk in, the venue will make your heart skip a beat with the trickling fountains and the gorgeous light fixtures. Walking down the aisle under the green flora and singing birdies making the surroundings more cheerful- this is exactly what makes your wedding a real fairytale. Say your vows while standing near the fountains as the natural arch and have a love-filled stroll with your sweetheart across the rich green atmosphere.


The partial space is nonetheless beautiful for a mystic ceremony when you don't want to go for much exposure. The subtle collection of linens imbibes an added beauty to the location and a sheer piece of scenery for Chicago wedding photographers to make the finest use in the pictures. Although the space is gorgeous on its own and needs no filters, you as a couple can work on the table and flower decor that goes in sync with the lighting as well as the theme of the wedding venue and of course your wedding party. 


While dangling twinkle lights and dancing leapfrog fountains are the spectacular natural backdrop to your wedding, the venue looks beyond magical during the fireworks on summer nights from your private patio overlooking the lake and city skyline. The majestic soaring trees and pretty plants pair well with the ferris wheel shining in the background for a breathtaking touch to your wedding photos. 


You will certainly be blown away by the ambiance formed by the trees and fountains to make your priceless night even more beautiful than you have imagined! The quirky fairgrounds and a pretty lake are altogether perfect to make for a  playful but romantic mood for the day. 


The charm of the place is at the next level for the moment when the sun is off and the twinkle lights are on. Seconds later, the mesmerizing space will be blown away with an awe-inspiring view of the Navy Pier Fireworks display. 


If you are craving a capacious outdoor feel for your ceremony with an utter indoor comfort, Crystal Gardens in Chicago is waiting for you. Be their guest and leave the rest to your Chicago wedding photographers.
