With its inspiring architectural details, marbled halls, and spacious rooms, the Newberry is an elegant location for hosting a wedding or private celebration. The 1893 library is a venue full of Chicago history. Renovated in early 2018, the Lobby features a Romanesque entryway, Art Nouveau chandeliers, and 20-ft ceiling, lending itself beautifully to cocktail receptions, dinner parties, or wedding ceremonies. The broad marble staircase makes for a dramatic entrance into a grand party and is a stunning setting for photographs that will be treasured for years to come. Ruggles Hall is a warm, inviting space perfect for large gatherings of any kind. Its tall windows afford views of Washington Square Park and the twinkling cityscape with the Hancock Center just beyond. Several smaller rooms are available for cocktail style events, lectures, and intimate dinner parties. The remarkable and sophisticated Newberry is an excellent choice for something as special as your wedding day.
