Chicago Small Wedding Packages
Creativo Loft offers popular all-inclusive options for small weddings in Chicago. Our Casual Weddings and Standard Weddings are completely customized all-inclusive packages, except that you separately higher an outside caterer for cuisine and bar package. Casual Weddings have a shorter amount of time, so they can work for a casual seated banquet or an alternative cocktail party style reception, and are popular for slightly smaller groups, from 30 to 62 people. Standard Weddings are a standard full day schedule, and are preferred by couples desiring a more formal wedding experience, including plenty of time for dancing, with typically 50 to 74 people.
- Casual Wedding: up to 5 hours wedding, up to 6 hours photography & full service package, separate outside catering and bar
- Standard Wedding: 8 hours venue rental time, 6-9 hours photography & full service package, separate outside catering and bar
Do you have a group of 30 people or fewer? Please also see our Elopements and Tiny Weddings options too.
