Chicago is the City to Host Your All-Inclusive Wedding Package

Known as the Windy City, Chicago is known for so many things, from great restaurants, culture, and art to an amazing skyline, museums, and fun nightlife. This city has romance down to a “T”, and couples tying the knot will always find that Chicago is a great destination for a wedding. Saying “I do” here will not only create lasting memories, but it will also let you pull out all the stops for a party of a lifetime. City Cruises’ all-inclusive wedding packages in Chicago include complimentary event coordinators to help make everything go smoothly.

Chicago is such a popular destination for weddings, and the city has views that are the perfect backdrop for your nuptials. If you’re cruising on Lake Michigan, you can’t miss the incredible views of Chicago’s iconic skyline, including Willis Tower, Adler Planetarium, 875 North Michigan Avenue (formerly the John Hancock Center), and Navy Pier. If you book a venue to cruise along the Chicago River, be ready for the spectacular, up-close, 360-degree panoramic views of Chicago’s iconic architecture. It’s like no other city in the world.
