A Boho-Inspired Beatnik West Town Wedding in Chicago — Audrey Simper Pictures

Why I Love Beatnik As A Wedding Venue

I actually suggest Beatnik West Town for {couples} who desire a restaurant marriage ceremony venue with tons of character. If you don’t see your marriage ceremony going down in a ballroom, then that is the best course to go. It’s so stuffed with coloration, texture, and creative type. 

For Sarah and Wil’s wedding, they actually leaned into the whole lot the venue gives for visuals and decor. The hanging vegetation softened the room. The chandeliers and smooth candlelight made the whole lot really feel shut and private. I like the pops of coloration and distinction just like the crimson rugs within the ceremony space, which {photograph} superbly in a darkish area. 

One of the explanations I had been so excited to {photograph} Beatnik is that it doesn’t really feel like a typical occasion area. It’s a restaurant first, and you may really feel that within the meals, the seating, and the atmosphere it creates for friends. The trendy Moroccan and Mediterranean influences deliver coloration and sample. Since Sarah and Wil’s marriage ceremony was within the winter, their reception leaned right into a heat and comfortable candlelight really feel to welcome their friends in. 

I like that Beatnik appears like a spot to host. By that I imply it appears like a restaurant marriage ceremony venue ought to: an intimate banquet. In my expertise, restaurant weddings work so effectively should you’re trying to reduce on time in between occasions of the day. It additionally retains issues simple to arrange, and results in numerous nice candid moments to seize, as a substitute of needing to put aside blocks of time for formal images.
