From the reviews
Wedding Event 9/24/22 – The wedding venue is a great for someone with a vision. It's like working with a blank art canvas ready to piece together a masterpiece. A lot of hotel options are conveniently around the venue for your guests and in a great location in the city as well.
We had our wedding reception at Chez and it was absolutely perfect! The space is beautiful, with really cool stairs which were lots of fun for pictures! Chez is such a great space for creating your vision; it can really morph into whatever you want it to be with some decorations and the appropriate lighting.
Chez is a beautiful, modern, blank canvas that served as the perfect backdrop to our modern wedding this past summer. Christine put me in touch with every vendor I worked with and helped me in more ways than I can count.
As a professional editorial, wedding and event photographer in the Los Angeles and Chicago area, I have had the opportunity to work in a ton of different venues over the years, but photographing anything at Chez is always something I look forward to.
Getting married at Chez Wedding Venue
Two things make the tour worth the drive. First, see the ceremony spot at the exact time of day you'd say your vows — a west-facing beach glows at sunset but bakes at noon, and you'll want to feel the wind, watch where the sun sits, and walk the path your guests take across the sand. Second, bring your real questions: the weather backup (where does the ceremony move if it rains or the wind kicks up?), who pulls the beach permit, the sound-ordinance curfew, the catering and bar policy, and exactly what's included — chairs, setup, and teardown on sand are where quotes quietly diverge. Peak beach dates book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what's open in your season before you leave.
