Radisson Blu
A Grand Chicago Wedding Venue Inside an Iconic Architectural Landmark
Rising above the Chicago skyline in the award-winning Aqua Tower, the Radisson Blu Aqua Hotel is one of the most architecturally striking wedding venues in Chicago. Designed by acclaimed architect Jeanne Gang, the building's signature undulating façade is recognized around the world — and the elegance continues inside. With over 28,000 square feet of sophisticated event space, sweeping views of Lake Michigan and the downtown skyline, and a level of service that matches its five-star surroundings, the Radisson Blu Aqua Hotel delivers a wedding experience that is as grand as it is seamless.
The hotel's flagship event space, the Atlantic Ballroom, is among the most impressive in the city. Soaring 20-foot floor-to-ceiling windows frame breathtaking views of the lake and skyline, creating a naturally dramatic backdrop that requires little embellishment. With capacity for up to 600 seated dinner guests or 1,650 reception-style, it is perfectly suited to large-scale celebrations that call for real grandeur. For couples seeking something more intimate, the Pacific Ballroom offers a refined and luxurious setting for smaller gatherings, while the hotel's 13 flexible event spaces can be configured to accommodate everything from rehearsal dinners and cocktail receptions to multi-day wedding weekends.
At Wedicity, we love planning weddings at the Radisson Blu Aqua Hotel because it offers the rare combination of iconic architecture, world-class service, and true flexibility. Our team knows this venue well — and we know how to design celebrations that rise to meet the scale and sophistication of the space. From floral installations and lighting to vendor coordination and guest experience, we ensure every detail reflects your vision and the extraordinary setting you've chosen.
Why Engaged Couples Love the Radisson Blu Aqua Hotel
Few Chicago wedding venues offer the combination of architectural prestige, lakefront views, and full-service luxury that the Radisson Blu Aqua Hotel provides. Situated in the heart of the city just minutes from the Magnificent Mile, Millennium Park, and Lake Michigan, the hotel is an ideal choice for both local couples and those planning a destination wedding in Chicago. Out-of-town guests can stay on-site in beautifully appointed rooms and suites, making it easy to host a full wedding weekend under one roof — from the rehearsal dinner to the morning-after brunch.
The hotel's in-house team brings a level of expertise and attentiveness that couples consistently rave about, and the comprehensive wedding packages make the planning process feel effortless. The Atlantic Ballroom's neutral, sophisticated palette serves as a blank canvas that can be transformed to reflect any aesthetic — from sleek and modern to lush and romantic. Add in the bridal suite, complimentary suite for the couple, and the building's endlessly photogenic exterior and interiors, and it's easy to see why the Radisson Blu has remained one of Chicago's most sought-after wedding destinations.

We handle every detail — design, logistics, vendor management, and day-of execution — so you can be fully present for every moment.
