Perfect Venue for the Best Day of Your Life

We had our ceremony and reception on the La Pergola side of Galleria Marchetti and it was everything we could have hoped for. The venue itself is beautiful, and the coordinators Danielle and Alyssa were great to work with. We loved the outdoor feel of the venue while still being covered from Chicago weather. Having the catering executed through the venue itself made the planning process a breeze. Highly recommend if you are considering Galleria Marchetti for a wedding!

Dream wedding day

Galleria Marchetti is a gorgeous venue, and their team is top notch. From beginning to end, they are professional, courteous, and talented. Their location is stunning, with the small exception of the L train occasionally running right past the courtyard where we held our ceremony (though this is to be expected in downtown Chicago). We loved the indoor-outdoor flow of the space (Pavilion/Courtyard). Their catering and bar teams are exceptional, and they have tons of delicious add-ons if you want some special treats for your guests - we chose to include a late night flaming doughnut station and taco station. The venue also allows you to stay later than most, so if you want a late night dance floor this is a perfect option. As a note, there is a very small, cozy bridal suite with some chairs and a vanity. It is likely not enough room to actually do the entire process of getting ready, and you typically don't have super early access to the venue to do that anyway. But it was a perfect private spot to get away for a dress change and some make-up/hair touch-ups throughout the night. Overall, would very highly recommend if it is in your budget!
