Ritz-Carlton Chicago Wedding Films

The Ritz-Carlton Chicago sits at 160 E. Pearson, just off the Magnificent Mile, with views of Lake Michigan and the skyline. It is one of the few downtown venues where the whole day can happen under one roof: getting ready in the suites, a private first look upstairs, and dinner and dancing in the Grand Ballroom. We have filmed here many times, and it is one of our favorite rooms in the city.

Filming Weddings at The Ritz-Carlton Chicago

We have filmed many weddings at the Ritz, and it never stops delivering on camera. The ballroom’s scale and lighting flatter every reception, the lake and skyline views give us backdrops most venues can only dream of, and the Magnificent Mile location means dramatic drone establishing shots of the city. Watch our Ritz-Carlton wedding films on this page to see the venue in motion.

Planning Tips

• Book early. Ask the hotel about availability for your preferred date and ballroom.
• Consider off-peak dates. Winter weddings here can be spectacular; ask whether your preferred off-peak date changes the proposal.
• Take advantage of the hotel. Getting-ready suites, guest room blocks, and a post-wedding brunch keep the whole weekend in one beautiful place.
