Cafe Brauer

I CANNOT say enough AMAZING things about Cafe Brauer. It was the most magical venue for our wedding! It is so beautiful and has so much character, and the Great Room just comes alive the night of your reception! I also have to say that Carrie Woods, who was our sales manager, was wonderful to work with. She was so responsive, and helpful in every way! I would recommend Carrie Woods, and Cafe Brauer to anyone planning a wedding!!

There is no more beautiful place in Chicago to have a wedding. Café Brauer is a hidden treasure and Carrie and her team made sure we took advantage of all it has to offer from the grand hall to the loggias, to the entranceway for guests to the surrounding grounds and lagoon. Café Brauer helped us create a simple, elegant and lively atmosphere for all of our guests.

We recommend without hesitation! The old Chicago feel, yet vintage and romantic make this place so special, set right on South Pond and adjacent to the Lincoln Park Zoo!

Love this place. Construction is going on at the pond outside, but they have done a nice job of concealing the mess.
