Situated in Chicago’s Gold Coast neighborhood, the Sofitel Chicago Magnificent Mile is just steps from Michigan Avenue. I really love how this venue offers true downtown elegance with understated French finesse. The chic, 4,592 s.f. Grand Ballroom is definitely outside of the box. First, the angled ceiling adds a nice visual interest to the event space. Next, you’ll find a discussion-worthy, 19-foot curved window that really frames the stunning city views, including the John Hancock building. It’s no secret that Chicagoans love historic high-rises. One thing that adds instant glamor to your evening event is the electricity that comes from the city lit up in the background. In addition, daytime events in this ballroom are flooded with natural light. Finally, the refined, monochromatic decor allows for any wedding style or color scheme to take center stage with its rich wood decor as a backdrop.
Therefore, if you’re looking for a beautifully polished yet unique location for your city-chic wedding, I’m impressed with how flawlessly the Sofitel Chicago Magnificent Mile marries both elegance and individuality. The Sofitel Chicago goes out of their way to make your event magnifique!
Several vendors and Sofitel Chicago staff eagerly prepare the finishing touches prior to the evening wedding celebration.
