City Winery is a working urban winery in Chicago’s West Loop, its industrial-chic barrel room and concert hall giving a wedding both rustic warmth and a built-for-live-music energy. We’ve filmed a wedding here that used both spaces to their full advantage.

A Wedding We Have Filmed at City Winery Chicago

Janel and Conor’s ceremony at City Winery paired the industrial aesthetic with floral arrangements from The Flower Firm and live music from Dolce Strings. Their reception moved into the concert hall, a room built for live music and made for wedding films, with a first dance to Rod Stewart’s “You’re in My Heart” and dancing that ran through late-night snacks and final call.
