Why You'll Love This Place
A Here Comes The Guide Wedding Venue Review
- It’s located in the iconic post-modern skyscraper 311 South Wacker, one of the city’s most recognizable silhouettes. Known as “Queen of the City” due to its illuminated crown, this jewel is also home to a collection of truly extraordinary event spaces.
- The Atrium, the building’s stunning lobby, can be used for both ceremonies and receptions. Inspired by classic winter gardens, it boasts a glass ceiling that soars 85 feet above its floor, supported by steel beams that serve as an homage to Chicago’s elevated train system. A dramatic bronze sculpture, “Gem of the Lakes”, anchors the space and makes for unforgettable photos.
- Intimate events have a home here, too—whether you opt for The Enclosure, with its air of sophisticated romance, or one of the building's luxurious private dining rooms, you and guests will be treated to the elevated service and world-class menus for which Pazzo’s has become renowned.
