Galleria Marchetti Wedding Cost Guide (2026)

Planning a wedding at Galleria Marchetti? As wedding videographers who’ve filmed there, here’s the realistic cost breakdown.

Venue & Package Pricing

Galleria Marchetti sells full wedding packages (ceremony and reception) rather than a bare venue rental. Pricing typically starts around $15,000 for off-peak dates and climbs to $23,000 or more for peak-season Saturdays. Packages are all-inclusive, covering venue rental, tables and chairs, food and beverage, and decor.

Choosing Your Space

The Pavilion (the larger venue, up to 450 seated guests) sits at the higher end of the range for bigger weddings. La Pergola (the intimate glass-enclosed room, up to 180 seated guests) can bring costs down for smaller celebrations, since per-guest food and beverage minimums scale with your final count either way.

Other Costs to Budget

Vendors: photography, videography, florals, music, and planning are separate from the venue package. Budget accordingly based on your priorities.

Ceremony pairing: if you’re marrying off-site first, like at a downtown church or cathedral, factor in transportation between locations.

Sample Budget: 150 Guests, Peak-Season Saturday

• Venue package (ceremony + reception, all-inclusive): $23,000
• Outside vendors (photography, videography, florals, music): typically $15,000 to $25,000 combined, depending on choices
• Total: roughly $38,000 to $48,000

Is Galleria Marchetti Worth It?

We’ve filmed two weddings here: Meaghan & Joe, whose Holy Name Cathedral ceremony gave way to a garden reception with heartfelt toasts and an open dance floor, and Natalie & Jeff, whose night included a surprise mariachi band and a Flaming Donuts station. Both films show what this venue does best: real texture and greenery inside a space built to handle Chicago weather. See our full Galleria Marchetti venue guide and wedding films.
