The Blackstone Hotel in Chicago

Luxury Weddings at The Blackstone Hotel in Chicago

Step into The Blackstone Hotel, where historic elegance meets modern luxury in the heart of downtown Chicago. This iconic landmark has been setting the stage for grand celebrations since 1910, offering a timeless backdrop infused with Jazz Age glamour and contemporary style. Towering marble columns, ornate chandeliers, and artful details at every turn make The Blackstone more than just a venue – it’s an experience. For couples dreaming of a luxury Chicago wedding with style and character, The Blackstone provides an ambiance that’s both romantically timeless and vibrantly modern.

Historic Elegance Meets Modern Luxury

There’s a reason The Blackstone is known as a Chicago classic. Its halls have witnessed over a century of celebrations, from high-society galas to intimate “I do’s.” The hotel’s Beaux-Arts architecture and rich history (once nicknamed the “Hotel of Presidents” for hosting heads of state) lend a sense of grandeur to your wedding day. Guests will marvel at the 21-foot ceilings, detailed millwork, and vintage art deco touches that harken back to 1910, all while enjoying the comfort of a beautifully restored, modern venue. It’s the best of old and new: you get the legendary glamour of a historic Chicago hotel, paired with all the upscale amenities and style expected of a contemporary luxury wedding venue.

Your Cinematic Wedding Story at The Blackstone

Picture your wedding day unfolding like a classic film set in the heart of Chicago. Cinematic storytelling comes naturally at The Blackstone – every space here is brimming with character and picture-perfect moments. Imagine walking down a marble aisle as sunlight pours through grand arched windows, or sharing your first dance beneath a cascade of crystal chandeliers as your guests look on in awe.

We’ve filmed weddings at The Blackstone where the architecture itself becomes a supporting character in the love story: the camera pans across the ornate Crystal Ballroom, capturing your joy against a backdrop of gilded detailing and floor-to-ceiling drapery. During cocktail hour, we might slip you away to the Art Hall for a quiet, romantic shot among contemporary artworks, or into the cozy English Room with its mahogany panels and stained glass for an intimate moment alone. At every turn, The Blackstone offers cinematic scenes – from the dramatic sweep of its staircases to the twinkling city lights just outside on Michigan Avenue – that make your wedding film uniquely breathtaking and personal.

Our Experience Filming at The Blackstone

Having filmed multiple weddings at The Blackstone, we know first-hand how magical this venue truly is. Every time we work here, we discover new angles and hidden gems that make each wedding film one-of-a-kind. We know exactly when the afternoon light filters through the Crystal Ballroom’s windows for that golden-hour glow on camera, and we’ve scouted the best spots in the hotel (and just outside in Grant Park) for breathtaking couple’s portraits with the Chicago skyline in the background.

Our team is familiar with The Blackstone’s layout and coordinates seamlessly with the hotel staff, so we’re always in the right place at the right time – from capturing the anticipation in the bridal suite as you slip into your dress, to the grand reveal of the ballroom before guests enter.

Why Choose The Blackstone Hotel for Your Wedding

  • Historic Grandeur: A landmark built in 1910 with a glamorous past, The Blackstone infuses your wedding with timeless elegance. Its storied legacy as the “Hotel of Presidents” (hosting everyone from royalty to U.S. presidents) means your celebration becomes part of Chicago’s living history.

  • Iconic Crystal Ballroom: The crown jewel of The Blackstone is its Crystal Ballroom, an awe-inspiring space of Beaux-Arts splendor. Beneath its soaring 21-foot ceilings and glittering Baccarat chandeliers, up to 250 guests can dine and dance in style
