What to see and do in the Windy City

Here’s some helpful info to make your Chicago wedding great for your guests.

Top restaurants

Ever: Experience an 8 to 10-course tasting menu focused on locally sourced and seasonal ingredients. Be prepared to tuck into a two-hour culinary experience like no other.

The Hampton Social – Streeterville: Just steps away from Michigan Avenue, you’ll find brunch on the weekends. During warm weather, enjoy it on the 2nd-floor covered terrace.

Lou Malnati’s Pizzeria: You must have a slice of deep-dish pizza while you’re in the Second City. Lou Malnati’s is a landmark. Each delicious pie is made from scratch. And the recipe for the buttery crust has been handed down for generations.

Nightlife & entertainment

The Second City: From a small cabaret theater grew the most influential name in stand-up comedy. Many of Second City’s alumni, from John Belushi and Bill Murray to Tina Fey, made a home on Saturday Night Live.

Common Chicago DJ Questions Answered

Here’s some helpful info for hiring a DJ.

How soon should I book a DJ for my Chicago wedding?

Depending on the popularity of the DJ and the time of year, it’s not uncommon to book 9 to 18 months in advance. Booking your DJ should come soon after securing your venue and photographer. Having your DJ on board early gives you a great planning resource, too.

What kind of music should you play at a wedding reception?

Make memories with your favorite selections and also take into account your guests, providing musical pleasure for them as well. Be sure to let your DJ know the songs with special meaning. Then turn it over to a professional to put together the right playlist to keep your dance floor filled.

How much does a DJ cost in the greater Chicago area?

According to popular vendor websites like WeddingWire and The Knot, prices range from $1200 to $3000 for a 4 to 5-hour reception. Entertainment companies often include add-ons like lighting or a photo booth with DJ service which affects the price. Bundling enhancements is a great time – and money-saver.
