With its backyard opening into Chicago's pristine Lincoln Park, the setting of Chicago's history museum is one of the most ideal locations when planning a Summer, Spring or Fall wedding. Aside from the well-maintained gardens that make cocktail decorations completely unnecessary, the back terrace is perfect for cocktails and/or passed and buffet style h'ors devours. Set up a few high top tables and your guests can not only enjoy the ambiance, but also have a place to put their food!
