Venue Six10
A Modern Michigan Avenue Wedding Venue Across from Grant Park
Venue SIX10 takes up event floors in the faceted glass Spertus Institute building at 610 S. Michigan Avenue, which opened in 2007 between Harrison and Balbo. It faces Grant Park, with the lake beyond. Inside, the rooms are white, bright and nearly empty of ornament, and that's the point. Nothing in the architecture competes with your design, so the palette, the florals and the lighting decide what the day looks like.
Krystle and Sean used every bit of that freedom, and every photo on this page is from their wedding. We worked with Flowers for Dreams on a palette of burgundy, plum and calla lily tones, softened with peach and blush. For the ceremony, white drapery opened onto an aisle scattered with peach petals, which led to a floral backdrop raised on a white platform. At the reception, a canopy of greenery hung from the ceiling over black sequined linens, gold chargers and blue velvet chairs. Across the room, a live painter worked on a portrait of the couple against the night skyline, and later Krystle, a lifelong dancer, kicked off the dance floor with a choreographed flash mob that nobody saw coming.
Planning a Venue SIX10 Wedding
A white room can look clinical if the design is timid, so plan for height and color from the start. Hanging installations, tall arrangements on stands and saturated linens bring the room down to a human scale, and warm uplighting keeps the white walls from reading cold once the sun goes down. As dusk settles, the windows turn into part of the decor.
Food comes from the venue's exclusive catering partners (Krystle and Sean's dinner was by Food for Thought), and bar packages run through Venue SIX10, so build the budget around those lists. The building sits right on Michigan Avenue with Grant Park garages nearby, which makes arrivals simple for out-of-town guests staying downtown.
For another lakefront wedding we designed, see Angela and Kelly at the Adler Planetarium, or explore the Chicago Cultural Center a few blocks north on Michigan Avenue. Read about our Chicago wedding coordination, browse all of our Chicago wedding venues, or start a conversation with us.
