Words can't describe!!! My wife and I had the most beautiful wedding at The Orpheum and we cannot thank them enough for making our day so special! We had looked at several vendors across Illinois and this was by far not only the best location, but most affordable! They have no business being this good and easy to work with but Oh My God they were fantastic! Amanda, our primary coordinator was so helpful with every detail leading up to the wedding. Chris worked so hard on ensuring everything was set up properly and Lauren was a fantastic day-of coordinator.
Amanda, Chris, Lauren, and all those with The Orpheum who helped make our day special, we thank you from the bottom of our heats!

Wow. What a truly BEAUTIFUL space to have our wedding in! My new husband Patrick and I would like to personally thank the coordination staff: Amanda, Lauren, Sara and everyone behind-the-scenes who helped make our day amazing. This venue is historic, opulent, and covered in unique, authentic details. Our guests could not stop raving about the beauty and charm of this early 1900s gem. The courtyard has a privacy fence so you can have your ceremony or cocktail hour there with no worries about the downtown location. And the getting ready room? SO beautiful and full of natural light and vintage furniture. We took our family formals there to avoid the heat and it was even better than going to a park. We highly recommend the Orpheum!

The Orpheum is a gorgeous and historic venue that was exactly what we were looking for for our wedding. The inside is beautiful and they’re improving it by the day. We held our reception at the Orpheum for 125 people and we fit perfectly in the space. Amanda, who is the venue manager (and owns her own wedding planning company, Inspire Your), is fantastic to work with. Any idea we had, she had a solution for. She was proactive, detail oriented, and a great resource. We worked with a couple other staff members during the weekend of our event, Sarah and Justice, who were awesome. We were able to get in the day before to set-up and the day after to break-down. The day went perfectly and we had a great experience!
