What type of couples choose Room 1520 for their wedding?
Room 1520 attracts couples who value flexibility, contemporary design, and urban sophistication.

The Fulton Market location also appeals to couples who want their wedding embedded in Chicago's dynamic arts and culture scene, with guests able to explore the neighborhood before or after your celebration.
