Galleria Marchetti - Chicago, Illinois

Lauren A. S.

Galleria Marchetti is a dream venue for any luxury wedding photographer. The natural light throughout the day is stunning, especially in the Pavilion and East Courtyard, where golden hour light adds a romantic glow. Each space—from the vaulted, skylit Pavilion to the intimate East Room—offers beautiful versatility for different wedding styles. The outdoor courtyards feel like a hidden garden oasis right in the heart of Chicago. Every time I shoot here, the venue delivers soft, editorial images that feel effortlessly elegant. It’s a perfect blend of timeless charm and modern luxury. If you are looking for an upscale venue for your wedding, we recommend you take a look at Galleria Marchetti! We hope to have the opportunity to return soon! IG: LaurenAshleyStudios

Galleria Marchetti was an absolutely amazing location for our wedding and we would recommend it to anyone! We worked with Alyssa throughout the planning process and she was extremely thorough, communicative, and easy to work with. The venue knows exactly what kind of questions and decisions need to be made and have so many resources and options available which made planning easier. The venue is gorgeous and we truly had such an unforgettable wedding. Thank you to the whole team and especially Alyssa!!

We hosted our wedding in October on the Pergola at Galleria Marchetti and it was absolutely perfect! We owe a lot of that to the coordinator we worked with, Alyssa! She was very responsive- especially to all my type A very detailed and number oriented questions. She made sure the planning process was seamless and helped me plan little fun touches like mini espresso martinis to get passed on the dance floor- our guests still talk about it! She was on top of everything and fielded all my questions leading up to the wedding day (which was a lot)! The food, drinks and ambiance made for the most perfect October evening and we are so glad we chose Galleria Marchetti to be our wedding venue. We are only hoping one of our friends decides to get married there too so we can be back again! Thank you again, Alyssa!

We’re so happy we chose Galleria Marchetti for our wedding venue! The space is beautiful, good and drinks were wonderful, and the Pavilion was perfect for our ceremony and reception of 185 guests. Alyssa made the whole process SO easy from start to finish and was extremely accommodating with all our questions and requests. We couldn’t be happier with our decision!

This venue is absolutely gorgeous!! Feels like I'm in another country with all the gardens and walls. Very cool with the Metra riding over it as well. I wish it served food to the public because I would love to try their pizza from the wood fired ovens.. Yum! For a special event this should be your place of choice! 😍😋

We were absolutely blown away by Galleria Marchetti. Danielle was an amazing sales manager, demonstrating professionalism to the fullest extent. She was extremely detail oriented and had our utmost confidence that she would deliver the day of the wedding. Galleria is a breath taking venue with fantastic add ons. The space spoke for itself so we needed very little decor. They have amazing food and beverage packages for reasonable prices. We cannot recommend this space enough!
