The Old Post Office is one of Chicago’s great architectural revivals: a landmark Art Deco building on the river, transformed into a modern luxury event space. With the marble-and-brass Historic Lobby, The Meadow rooftop with skyline views, and the Telegram Lounge, it gives couples historic grandeur and modern amenities in one venue.

Filming Weddings at The Old Post Office
We love filming here because the venue gives a wedding film three completely different worlds in one building: the Art Deco drama of the Historic Lobby, the open sky and skyline of The Meadow, and the moody warmth of the Telegram Lounge. The riverside location makes for spectacular drone establishing shots, and the marble interiors carry light beautifully on camera. Also read our tips for hosting your wedding at the Old Post Office.
