Why You'll Love This Place
A Here Comes The Guide Wedding Venue Review
- The Rooftop Garden of this unique, privately owned museum offers striking views of downtown and Lake Michigan—it’s an incredible spot for a ceremony or cocktail hour. For intimate celebrations, opt for the Tiffany Gallery, whose walls are adorned with dazzling backlit stained glass pieces.
- The ceiling of the breathtaking Wisteria Room is hung with tiered Art Nouveau chandeliers of frosted glass, and crowned with an exquisite stained glass dome depicting a blooming wisteria vine suspended in an arbor.
- Guests can be treated to self-guided tours of the fascinating collection, which includes significant paintings, artifacts, works by some of the country’s most renowned glass artists, and an international representation of watches and clocks dating from the 1600s.
