Brunch weddings are having a moment. They are becoming more common as the soon-to-be-wed realize the many benefits of hosting a brunch wedding celebration. For many couples, an evening wedding followed by a formal wedding reception isn’t what they have their heart set on. They want to spend time with their guests and a daytime wedding allows them to intentionally connect. Let City Cruises Chicago curate a one-of-a-kind wedding soiree with Lake Michigan or the Chicago River as your something blue. Sail into forever under the iconic Chicago skyline as you embark on your dream wedding experience and create moments to treasure for a lifetime.
Brunch Weddings are the Perfect Vibe
Brunch weddings are typically during the daytime in the late morning or early afternoon. It’s a great opportunity for couples who want to skip many of the traditions seen in wedding receptions and create something meaningful and uniquely theirs. It also allows for planning a casual evening outing with guests since your wedding brunch would be over by mid-afternoon. Beyond enjoying a spectacular brunch together complete with chef-prepared menu options, full bar packages, and customizable entertainment, hosting a daytime wedding allows you to personalize every detail making it a true reflection of your love story. Get creative on your big day and have a little fun. Options like building your own mimosa bar, fun foods, or coffee stations complete with personalized sleeves or stirrers give guests a chance to mingle and be more connected to the celebration and become part of the decor. These experiences combined with reception standards like toasts, special dances, and important cultural customs create the perfect harmony of timeless traditions and modern flair. Throw in Chicago’s cityscape as your backdrop and unparalleled views of Willis Tower and Navy Pier, and you’ve got the perfect recipe for a spectacular event.

Brunch weddings take place in the early morning and have a different feel than an evening gathering. Your décor and aesthetic and even your music may feel less formal than an after-hours bash but that provides you with the perfect opportunity to fill the space with décor, songs, and delicious foods that fuel you allowing you to create purposeful memories with your guests. Weddings can be quite expensive, but with some good planning, you can customize options to keep costs down. At City Cruises, our event coordinators will work with you to stay within budget without sacrificing your vision. Brunch weddings mean the Chicago skyline is bursting with gorgeous colors and natural lighting helps capture the most gorgeous photos for your big day and being on the water adds to the beauty of stunning pictures. With the timing of a brunch wedding, you can create a formal setting or a more laid-back vibe. The options are endless. Lean into the morning vibe and take advantage of seasonal flowers and décor. Think about daytime-friendly options like games, a photo booth, or a flower-making station to keep the energy lively and conversations flowing. You can even get creative with your cake. Perhaps a creation made of crepes, waffles, or even donuts would be fun. Our unique floating venues offer both indoor and outdoor spaces with views from every direction. Our interior spaces are climate-controlled for comfort no matter what the weather has in store, and our open-air exterior decks are perfect for toasting under sunny skies. Consider our spaces as a blank canvas to bring your wedding dreams to life. Whether you’re planning an intimate event or a grand affair, we have the perfect vessel for you.
A Brunch Wedding Chicago Style with City Cruises
The magic of any wedding is in the details, and our unique spaces provide the perfect setting to turn your aspirations into a beautiful celebration.
