About this venue

One of the most historic and romantic locations in Chicagoland! A true hidden gem! For more than a century, the Winnetka Community House has been playing host to some of the most beautiful events and weddings on the North Shore. Within the lovely grounds of the Community House, the Historic Garden provides a timeless setting for a magical wedding ceremony or an alfresco dinner. The blue stone and brick patio is framed by architectural brick columns, a Tudor style barn building, a charming pergola, and an iconic gothic wooden frame breezeway. Our indoor Garden Room features plenty of natural light, beautiful woodwork, ambient lighting, and offers a wide view of our beautifully landscaped garden through a wall of French doors.
