Peninsula Chicago Wedding Films

The Peninsula Chicago, just off the Magnificent Mile, is one of the hotels we film most. Couples get ready in its suites, gather above the city on the Rooftop Terrace, and celebrate in the Grand Ballroom, listed for 320 banquet guests in the hotel’s event-space fact sheet; confirm the capacity for your floor plan with its wedding team. For a smaller ceremony, the Shanghai Terrace has skyline views, and the indoor Shanghai Room suits a cozy dinner.

Filming Weddings at The Peninsula Chicago

We have filmed many weddings at The Peninsula, and it remains one of our favorite venues in the city. The lobby’s warm light is beautiful for first looks, the ballroom’s chandeliers give receptions a golden glow on camera, and the Magnificent Mile location makes for dramatic drone establishing shots. Watch our Peninsula wedding films on this page to see how the venue looks in motion.

Planning Tips

• Book early. The Peninsula is one of the most sought-after venues in Chicago, especially in peak season.
• Lean on their team. The in-house wedding planners are excellent, from menu tastings to vendor coordination.
• Think about the guest experience. Special room rates, a welcome reception, or a post-wedding brunch turn the weekend into a true destination celebration.
