Illinois Wesleyan University Overview

Host your wedding day in comfort, style and elegance. Illinois Wesleyan University is an ideal location for your big day. Tie the knot in Evelyn Chapel where your guests will be greeted with exposed brick and a beautiful arched entrance. You may also host your ceremony in the outdoor Quad, where your guests will be seated in perfectly lined white chairs. Afterwards, take advantage of the property grounds for your first photos as a married couple. Lush greenery and large trees create the perfect backdrop for your precious memories as a newlywed couple. Next, it’s time for your reception. The Young Main Lounge is a beautiful space with hardwood floors, elegant lighting, traditional decor and large windows. The room boasts joyful walls and may be decorated according to your style and taste. If you are looking for a unique venue, you may consider having your reception in our Hansen Student Center. Renovated from our former gymnasium, the Hansen Center Court has solid wood floors and a modern, industrial feel.
