Colvin House

Colvin House offers event planners a characterful setting in Chicago's Edgewater neighbourhood. This restored mansion, built in 1909, combines historic architectural details with adaptable spaces for weddings, corporate gatherings, private celebrations and other events. Its location opposite the beach and close to Lake Michigan gives guests a distinctive lakeside backdrop, while the house's period features bring warmth and a sense of occasion indoors.

The venue has several spaces to suit different event formats, from intimate meetings and smaller gatherings to larger celebrations. The Parlor and dining room provide indoor options, while the mansion's courtyard and garden can be used for outdoor occasions, including ceremonies and drinks receptions. The Coach House adds another area for guests to gather. Organisers can explore room arrangements and hire options to find a fit for their guest numbers and programme.

For meetings and smaller events, the property also offers rooms with practical amenities such as screens, projectors and presentation facilities. The venue can work for business meetings and corporate events as well as social occasions, with event support available through its team. Wedding planners can consider both indoor and outdoor settings for ceremonies and receptions. Catering is arranged through preferred caterers rather than being the venue's core service.

Colvin House also operates as a coworking space during the day, giving the historic building a working life beyond private hire. Its blend of original character, flexible rooms and an outdoor courtyard makes it a distinctive option for organisers seeking a mansion setting in Chicago.
