The Odyssey
A Chicago Wedding Venue with Unforgettable Skyline Views
For couples who want to celebrate their love with the Chicago skyline as their backdrop, the Odyssey offers one of the city’s most unique and scenic wedding venues in Chicago. Aboard this modern glass-enclosed cruise vessel, you and your guests can experience the beauty of the city from a whole new perspective, gliding along the Chicago River surrounded by breathtaking architecture, sparkling water, and panoramic views.
The Odyssey provides an elegant and memorable setting for ceremonies, receptions, and rehearsal dinners. The vessel features a sleek contemporary design with floor-to-ceiling windows, an open-air rooftop deck, and a climate-controlled interior, perfect for year-round celebrations. Whether you’re hosting a romantic evening reception under the stars or a sunlit daytime ceremony, the ever-changing city views create a stunning and dynamic backdrop. Guests can sip cocktails while watching the skyline drift by, dine on gourmet cuisine, and dance the night away as the city lights shimmer across the water.
At Wedicity, we love planning weddings aboard the Odyssey because it offers couples a one-of-a-kind experience that perfectly captures the spirit of Chicago. Our team handles every logistical detail, from boarding schedules and vendor coordination to layout and design, ensuring that your day on the water feels as seamless as it is spectacular.
