Why You'll Love This Place
A Here Comes The Guide Wedding Venue Review
- A sleek, contemporary option for bespoke, intimate celebrations, this thoughtfully designed space sits just west of Chicago, and is directly across the street from the Belmont Metra station, making it ultra-convenient for guests who wish to travel in from the city.
- The Auditorium’s two flexible studios boast a chic, industrial-minimalist design, with a blend of organic and manmade materials, ample natural light, and lush green accents like hanging plants and a cool indoor ivy wall that makes an striking backdrop for ceremonies.
- An experienced onsite event manager will assist throughout the entire day—they’ll accept your deliveries, manage vendors, execute your timeline and decor setup, and even coordinate the venue cleanup and packing up of personal items.
