The Winnetka Chapel

The Winnetka Chapel is a historic venue available to hire for private, public and community events in downtown Winnetka, on Chicago's North Shore. Its distinctive chapel setting features stained-glass windows, a vaulted ceiling, hardwood floors and a tower bell, offering a characterful backdrop for gatherings and performances. The space can accommodate events of up to 300 people, with additional chairs available to suit different layouts.

Organisers can consider the chapel for weddings and ceremonies, concerts, parties, lectures, book events, panel discussions, recitals, charity events and memorial services. The non-denominational setting allows couples and other organisers to choose their own officiant and decor. The venue can be viewed by appointment, and prospective hirers are encouraged to arrange a visit and discuss their plans with the chapel's team.

Included facilities support both spoken-word and musical programmes. They include a premium sound system, wireless handheld microphones and a lapel microphone, a baby grand piano, a podium, and video and recording services. There is also a prep kitchen, a dressing room, banquet and high-top tables, candelabras and central heating. The chapel offers customised event set-up, with its chairs and furnishings available to help configure the room for the occasion.

Located on Lincoln Avenue, the venue is suited to organisers seeking a traditional, intimate-feeling setting for a ceremony, performance or community gathering. Rental enquiries and event requirements can be discussed directly with the chapel, and tours are arranged by appointment.
