The Field Museum (Chicago, IL)
The Field Museum serves as a host site for receptions and dinners for all size groups and is a stunning choice for a wedding reception.

If dinosaurs and elephants are on your guest list, say “I do” to hosting your event in one of our breathtaking spaces.

We have several beautiful event spaces and guests can access various exhibition galleries, depending on the event location and the purchase of special gallery use, if desired. Event space is determined primarily by the event size and length. Each event space provides a unique opportunity to view a portion of the Field Museum's world-class permanent collection.

Events at The Field Museum can begin at 6 pm. There is no set ending time. The bar must close no later than 1 am. Wedding ceremonies are not allowed at The Field Museum.

Personalize your wedding

We’ve done this a few times. Our experienced staff is here to support you and your wedding planner, from your first site visit to the moment your last guests leave, tuckered out from a night of dancing and celebration.

Our approved vendors are carefully selected and knowledgeable about our space. Whether your style is understated, elegant florals or over-the-top geek chic, our vendors will help you customize an event that’s 100% you.
