      The Field Museum in Chicago is the perfect wedding venue for museum lovers. No matter how big your wedding party is the Field Museum can host events from 10 guests up to 1000 guests.

      There are two main areas in the Field Museum, which are ideal to celebrate your big day. Your wedding ceremony can be held outdoor on the terrace overlooking beautiful Lake Michigan followed by the cocktail hour there as well or in the Rice Native Plant Gardens. After your cocktail hour the Stanley Field Hall could be the location for your grand entrance into your wedding reception.

      The Stanley Field Hall can be transformed for your dream wedding. You will be able to accommodate lots of guests in here, where everyone can dance under the silhouette of Máximo, a Titanosaur, a key mark of the Field Museum. Your guests can explore the museum's exhibitions with millions of artifacts and specimens throughout your event.

      Hear what Marina Birch from Birch Design Studio says about this gorgeous space: "The Field Museum is one of my favorite venues to host an event in Chicago. While the building itself sets a beautifully elegant tone, the event staff is fabulous to work with—it is an absolute pleasure every time."

      Are you ready to dive into your dream wedding full of adventures?
