The Crystal Ballroom & Lounge

The Crystal Ballroom & Lounge is an Evanston wedding and event venue located at 529 Davis Street in downtown Evanston, offering over 6,000 sq. ft. of event space across a two-story ballroom, an adjoining lounge, and cocktail space. The venue is known for all-inclusive packages that cover open bar, table linens, cocktail hour bites, plated dinner, wedding cake, and a late-night snack bar, alongside on-site coordination, dressing rooms for both sides of the bridal party, one-touch lighting, and state-of-the-art A/V systems with two 10x10 projector screens. The space was completely restored in 2014 to its original 1920s design, with original crown molding maintained. Located in downtown Evanston, IL, the venue is noted by couples as being within 30 minutes of Chicago. Couples highlight the all-inclusive packages as stress-reducing, praise on-site coordinators Jessica and Amy for responsiveness and flexibility, and consistently compliment the food, professional staff, and the antique mirror ballroom decor.
