One thing you shouldn’t avoid when choosing a venue is the unforgettable part. Like the Floating Ponds at The Crane resort in Barbados – who in their lifetime would forget lounging on a pool suspended in mid-air? That’s a story you’ll be telling on your deathbed.

But let’s bring it back to Illinois. While we may not have floating ponds, we have our own set of unique venues that will leave your guests speechless. As experienced event planners, we’ve seen it all – the good, the bad, and the ‘how did we end up booking this place?’ Today, we’re sharing our insider knowledge to help you find the perfect small venue in Chicago that will make your event truly a core memory.

The Perks of Choosing a Small Venue

Bigger isn’t always better, especially when it comes to planning the perfect event. For one, they create an intimate atmosphere that’s ideal for connecting with your guests on a more personal level. 

Cost-effectiveness is another big plus. Smaller venues often leave more room in your budget for the things that truly matter—like a customized menu or that dream décor you’ve been envisioning. Plus, smaller venues tend to offer more personalized service. The staff isn’t just managing a crowd; they’re catering to you.
As event planners who’ve worked in venues of all sizes, we can tell you that the right small space can make your event unforgettable. Need help finding the perfect match? Plush Event Planners are here to make sure your small venue choice is just the beginning of something great.
