A Castle Wedding in Chicago, Illinois
Yes, a real castle! Believe it or not, Chicago has its very own castle. Sitting on top of a small hill overlooking the historic Longwood Drive in the Beverly neighborhood of Chicago sits the Givins' Irish Castle. It was originally built as a private residence in 1886. but it is now owned and operated by the Beverly Unitarian Church. The best part is that you can now get married in, or around, the castle grounds! At three stories tall, it features four round towers, a large arched doorway, and multiple windows set in the Castle's stone exterior that let in the dreamest light. While the inside of the Castle might seem a little dated, it is very much a blank slate for you to create the castle wedding of your dreams and there are multiple photo opportunities both inside and on the castle grounds.
If you ever had a vision of getting married in (or in front of) a Castle but did not have it in your budget to travel to Ireland, then this is the spot! And if you're considering getting married at the Castle, I'd love to tell your love story! Let's get in touch!
